    I reviewed their Bauhaus styled field watch earlier in the year and a lot of subscribers
    took to it but it seems MAVEN have already made some welcome changes.
    Here is link to that review:

    That’s a looker for sure. They have terrific design motif. I also wish it was smaller. And any watch good enough for Molly is good enough for me. Thanks for the great review as always!

    I like it, but I would also prefer a smaller case, it might reduce the space around the minute track. You are spot on about the strap too. Thanks for reviewing 👍

    It’s not a bad looker but that seconds hand is missing so many markers between the 30 and 60 minute track that I couldn’t live with it. Checking the stills on the website shows similar issues.

    • @johnswatchjoint
      @johnswatchjoint  2 месяца назад +2

      It's a modern flaw. All of my old Pulsars are dead on but even expensive quartz watches don't guarantee perfect alignment these days. Pretty sad 😢

      @@johnswatchjoint if Casio can get it right on models like the Duro (and most other Casio’s for that matter) I don’t understand why other much more expensive brands can’t. Poor QC. Cheers.

    I love the look. I think the only thing that is a bit naff is the lugs not being turned down. There is a summer sale at the moment with 15% off if you sign up to the mailing list. I quite liked the non chrono version as well. I have a canvas strap that would go better for that with brushed keeper loops. I think you are right on the provided strap, it doesn't quite seem manly enough for the job.

    Nothing like a fresh looking Bauhaus style watch. One of my favourites in my collection is a Sternglas Naos Pro. This little beauty from Maven is one-third of the price! Totally agree about the strap which is funny because I think this watch is probably a bit of a strap monster.
    Great review once again 👍

    The lug to lug distance is a but longer than I would like it to. Otherwise, it's a nice chronograph with minimalist design. Strongly disagree about solar powered watches being the only ones around. Or did you just mean they'll replace non-solar powered quartz watches?

      They have some good pieces. I like a high contrast chrono. I think it looks good but admittedly it's too large with the lug shape on my wrist. The last brown leather strap does a very good job at hiding it though so someone who doesn't have twigs for wrists will get away with it 😉
