    Now this is what we need more of as reviewers. Companies that aren't afraid of feedback and know how to build upon it. Didn't like the first outing but this is right up my alley. It's fresh and funky yet tasteful.
    Also, edging closer to 100k mate. Congratulations.

    Great looking watch and awesome that they listened. The best companies are those that listen to constructive criticism and feedback and use it to improve instead of getting butt hurt about it. Not every release is going to be a home run, but it seems like they’ve made an interesting offering here. Keep up the great work Ben.

    It's refreshing to see a microbrand selling watches at this price point where the makers appear to have spent more money on the product itself instead of the marketing. I don't remember the last time I saw another microbrand take this approach.
    Whilst I'm not in the market for a chronograph at the moment, the Nezumi Tonnerre would be at the top of my list if I were, mainly to thank them for not jumping down the rabbit hole of wank that is the typical fashion-centric microbrand. The fact that it's a real homage (and a very tasteful one at that) is a bonus.

    About reviews though. I even think, sometimes a reviewers negative criticism can be taken by someone as a positive point. Best example are reviewers with mid-sized wrist saying the watch looks to small. Hell that is a pro for a slim wrist like mine.

    @typebflieger 2 года назад +1

    Thank you for reviewing this, as few reviews have come out since this watch was released. I own the black reverse panda and can confirm the dimensions fit the smaller-wristed of us perfectly. It’s a great vintage inspired design that has a feeling of authenticity rather than imitation.
    My only criticism is the legibility of the minute/hour hands. They’re flat and high polished, and don’t stand out from the dial unless angled to reflect a light source. This introduces reflections to the crystal as well right when you’re trying to read it. It would’ve benefited from brushed hands which pick up light from all angles. Not a dealbreaker for me, but worth mentioning.
    Overall a stunning watch packed with excellent design and well-balanced proportions. One of my favorites from Nezumi.

    Tbh, the reason why I watch you is because you have consumers in mind when you review watches. In the era of over sensationalisation, it's important to not fall for the hype and listen to second opinion. So ignore the haters and keep being you because in the long run, your honesty will keep people watching you.

I've sold off all of the meca-quartz-powered chronos that were in my collection, and wouldn't mind something as a grab-and-go that's as pretty as (or possibly even prettier than) my various mechanical chronographs. Thanks for reading their email more closely, and familiarizing me with this lovely timepiece and interesting new brand. All the best

    I was wondering about that brand name..... The website states: "The name Nezumi came from a book David read as a child about a Japanese ”Robin Hood” called Nezumi Kozo whom stole from the rich samurai and gave to the poor. We at Nezumi Studios support numerous charities, hence the name."
    鼠 means mouse or rat. Names can be tricky though, so I checked and wiki states: Nezumi Kozō (鼠小僧) roughly means "Rat Kid".

    This review attracted a fair number of comments about quartz vs mechanical.

I look at my radio controlled eco drives in the same way.

I’ve seen sub $200.USD Quartz Seikos on Amazon with just that: 1) Running Seconds 2) 30 minute totalizer 3) 12 hour totalizer….NOT that stewyupid 24 hour dial. Come on!
