Ben's Watch Club tends to cover affordable watches like Seiko, Timex, Casio, Citizen, MVMT, Vincero, Bulova, Orient, Hamilton, and more. We rarely feature luxury watches like Rolex, Patek Philippe, Breitling, Tag Heuer, Tudor, Grand Seiko, Cartier, Omega, Audemars Piguet, or Hublot due to their price.

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.
Always great to see a company using honest feedback to improve their products. Well done Ben 👏 👏👏
Damn, they really nailed the aesthetics.
That's a "homage" true to the actual meaning of the word, not a mindless copy. I'm sure it took as much effort as a totally original design would take. Well done!
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.
I wished Seiko would listen to their customers. So they would better their quality controll. And put more sapphire crystals in their watches instead of their hardlex.
And maybe a smaller size
I'll make one mine soon, looks gorgeous. I hesitated after your first Nezumi review, but this excellent update has swayed me. Thanks!
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.
Woah woah woah! 💙🔥 now this is fabulous! I’m so glad you did review this in the end, it’s very cool!
Ben you are the most honest reviewer on RUclips I've bought most of my watches with what I've seen on your channel and it helped me alot, my wife is telling me that I'm very finicky about what I want from a watch and I think you've contributed to that but I'm not complaining just grateful for making me understand what to look for and what would suit my lifestyle, now this chronograph is exactly what I'm looking for seeing that I am in the market for one, keep up the great work and reviews🤙👌⌚🙏👏😊
Agreed! This is a step up for Nezumi! I love it! Thanks for the review!
Good job Nezumi and Ben! Making the watch world better one review at a time :)
Finally a brand that uses its brains instead of the marketing department.
Those companies that you say "don't use brains" earn much more than this kind of watch maker. This is why they do what they do. People who call very successful businessmen "dumb" are not very bright themselves. Watch quality is a different conversation
@@sergheirench7666Yeah plenty onlyfans models also earn way more than average, doesn't make them smart.
What's the point of conflating intelligence with income?
Great video and always appreciate your thorough research and observations. Thanks Ben!
It's here! A Chrono for slim wrists... I shed tears of joy seeing the dimensions. Now I hope I get enough poket money on Christmas to afford this watch.
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.
Now that is a chrono I'd consider buying! Not just because of its gorgeous design and colour scheme, but also, like you mentioned, because of its compact dimensions. 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
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.
I usually don't like chronographs but this looks really nice. And it's the correct size for me. Nice one.
An absolute 100% uptick in quality, I love that finally a watchmaker decided to listen to the solid criticism
That watch... is freaking gorgeous. They nailed it. First mecha I've seen in a long time that I'd be happy to wear!
Very nice improvements to the Nezumi. Well, I bit the bullet and just received my Seagull 1963. It looks even better in the flesh. Looking forward to your review. Keep up the good work Ben
You do as you seems fit man. Your critical comments helps watch companies improve their products which ultimately helps improve quality in the watch world. I am confident you'll make it to 100k subs
What you doing is great Ben, don't change a thing!
I considered their first offering too thick similar to a spinnaker. The all polished finish put me off as well… I’m ordering this one! Kudos to a brand that’s paying attention! Thanks for the informative review Ben!
David is an artist. i mean, a real one. he is very exigeant with himself and with the people he work with for even the smallest detail.. one of my close relative is his exclusive photographer since one year and he constantly says that he learn a lot working with him, because of his exigeance. so i'm not surprise he listened what you said. i'm a big fan of his job and he is improving everytime.
I've always liked Nezumi, will definitely pick one up at some point
Although I actually didn't mind the styling of the original myself, I always appreciate a pop of color, and this looks stunning.
Dan Henry has the same attitude. Amalgumisms of many vintage inspirations. 1964 is my fav.
Looks great! Well done!
Hey Ben, just keep going, you're watch reviews are good and we all have different views etc, just hang in there mate!
I hadn't worn a watch in years and recently had to buy one for my new job. I wanted a "real" old school analog watch and not a smartwatch. There's no way I'm ever going to spend thousands of dollars on a watch, and I appreciate your channel so much. I have discovered classy, dependable and affordable (yay!) options. Now I'm a watch enthusiast and enjoy your reviews. Thanks so much and keep up the good work!
I LOVE how these look. I would love to get two of these in different color variation just to pair with different outfits
Looks great. Im glad you included photo of Poljot 3017 chronograph for few sec. It is one of my favorite chronographs. Unfortunately a bit fragile
I'm glad you gave them a second chance, that looks a very decent watch👍
Love your honest, and fantastic reviews. Not only informative but light and humours, much appreciated insight. I am going to grab a Nesumi watch shortly. I was wondering if you heard much about Miansia watches? Are they crap? Just marketing. Good luck and cant wait for more videos.
Loving the look of this watch, going on my buy list.
Nice, I have been keeping an eye on their website, but didnt know if they were legit, but this sounds great!
Just in case they (Nezumi) see this, though probably not, fair play and well done for actually listening to feedback and criticism!
I’ve been lurking back & forth for the older Nezumi model being sold here by a local lad for $250. Given it’s a good price, think I’ll opt for this newer model after seeing this review. Thanks Ben
What a nice watch Ben. Very classy. Personally, I would pick a panda or reverse-panda. Keep this good work in next year. Best Regards, from Brazil.
Much better chrono than their previous edition, case looks awesome and the light blue accents and sundials 👏
Gorgeous, big respect to the brand
Thanks for the review and recommendation. Maybe a good xmas present for myself! I can also recommend the Dan Henry mekaquartz chronos for smaller wrists.
For a small sized meca-quartz chrono I’d recommend to check out the Boldr field medic II. Got one a few months ago in titanium with blue nylon nato and it’s a great buy for the money
Excellent and finely produced review of a very viable chrono there Ben, always did like the look of Nezumi's watches. If you are looking for any other 38mm chronos, look no further than the Vapaus Vorcut, here is another superbly styled and executed chrono from a British company, well worth reviewing.
congratulations on reaching 100k subs ben. 😎
Only just seen this! I promise I'm not hacking the algorithm lmao. Cheers boss
Very decent looking piece. Kudos to Nezumi for taking constructive criticism ...I wish them success as a Brand.
I already have a vintage inspired mecha-quartz chrono (Dan Henry 1962) but I just might pick one of these up. I'm really liking the blue/turquoise on the subdials and chrono hand.
It’s a pretty funky looking watch. I’m tempted to get one
Looks amazing!
Great vid again
Very beautiful watch, indeed! Lots of improvement!!!
great video! Have them know that we thank them for listening.
This looks really good love the twisty lugs; I really liked the voiture model but was never 100% sold
Great to hear. Ive decided to stop buying more watches but will start supporting Nezumi on social media. This is the model to follow, not the lies of fashion brands
“Opération Tonnerre” is how the fourth Bond film “Thunderball” is known in the French-speaking world.
Great name, great review and a striking watch too.
If people likes this one I'm glad, since it maybe slightly makes it up for another very well known brand from our country that's universally hated in the watch community (for good reasons). You know which one. Seriously though, this model series seems really good. Have had my eyes on Nezumi before, but wasn't convinced. This feels like a good improvement. Great review as usual, Ben. Always appreciate your consumer service approach.
Now that's a proper watch! Hope this brand stays around and with the same design philosophy.
Tastefully made chronos are rather rare, but this one definitely nailed it.
Stockholm Sweden. Not to be confused with Stockholm Wisconsin.
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 think you are realistic and that's why I trust and like your reviews.
That watch looks amazing. Very impressive.
I like it. I like the size too.
Spot on about the « homages » 1/1 copy’s are not a homage they are copy’s
Nice job Nazuni! Only small thing for me would be gun-metal / dark hands for legibility
nice review
I'm buying the silver dial version right now it's absolutely beautiful
I have the silver dial on a grey leather cuff, and I love it. Easily one of my favorite watches.
love this
The other reason to crit watches hard? When Ben gives a full thumbs-up we know it's a good watch. Only 900 subs away from the magic 100k, slimwrister :-) Congrats in advance and Merry Christmas.
Nezumi does a very good job. I own a Voiture chronograph by them (which I personally prefer over the Tonnerre) and I love that watch. Great vintage design without feeling like a cheap rip-off of more known pieces and a size that is very much wearable for us smaller-wristed fellas...
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".
That's super cool, thanks for sharing what you found
@@CrisEdmundson You're welcome. I was just curious, because I speak some Japanese.
Lol so this watch is called Rat. Ray boy!
Why not name the brand Robin if it's Robin Hood that they want us to associate with them?
0:29 “Shenzen, Italy” 😂😂😂😂😂
This review attracted a fair number of comments about quartz vs mechanical. I admit I really looked forward to getting my automatic, but what got me interested in watches was how they advanced with technology and how features on the watches came about due to advances in other technologies. I look at my radio controlled eco drives in the same way.
Love a radio controlled watch. Wear my Casio Lineage very regularly. Cool stuff.
@@BensWatchClub keep up the great work informing people about reasonably priced options for their hard earned money
Very nice. This one's into the to purchase pile. :)
I must agree that it's an improvement although with all the ST19 variants out there a mecha quartz is not always calculated to appeal tothe vintage/homagy crowd?
Interesting brand with very nice designs. I hope they will consider making some more automatic models as well. I'm not too keen on a meca-quartz movement.
Great video !!! However, I do not see link for the sail cloth strap.....
gr8 improvements made,,,,,,
Hope you’ll include the Invicta model 35113 part of their vintage range like the 1953 diver. I picked it up earlier this year and it’s a cracking watch, especially when on discount.
I have one of their pilots chronos (the name escapes me at the moment). It is a well built, lightweight piece. And it looks the part of a Swedish Air Force vintage chrono. And it was reasonably priced. Nezumi has some good things going on.
You should do a video on Forge & Foster, have been seeing their aggressive advertising on Facebook recently
Love the sarcasm "shenzen, italy" 🤣
I was skeptical about them but thank you for the review. Do you have any content about Undone watches they look like my chronographe suisse. Thank you
That's a great looking watch.
Hope they get the sales after this so they keep on improving
I've seen them sponsored on Instagram a few times, liked the design and movement, the only thing though that stopped me from getting one was that for the same price or for a few Euros more I could get an automatic such as the mentioned Seagull or the Phoibos. If they keep this design, but upgrade the movement, I would be 100% on board. They seem like a much better option that the standard scammy ones or even Skagen or similar owned by Fossil.
Shenzhen, Italy was a very nice touch
Got my first mechanical watch this week 🙌
Bulova though
Great Review! I am new to the channel. Can you try Ralph christian watches?
I'm there with you,
That brushed casing is definitely an improvement on the prior model. I'd wondered what happened to Nezumi, seemed to go dark for a short while.
Great review Ben (as always). But what were they thinking with the coloursceme of the 24 hour dial? Turn the sceme 90 degrees so that there is a day and night indication...Mecaquartz is great. I love my Yema Rallygraph (about same price of less...).
Do you have a link for the Sailcloth straps🤔
Nice watch. I love a good domed sapphire and I believe one would look beautiful on this timepiece.
Looks like I won some kind of gift from you. All I have to do is respond via some goofy whatsApp message.😁
..
A bit random so i just post it on the latest video you made but i just found this FGW0100CW Orient Bambino and it's 38mm and very slim. I thought it would make a great video
Nice dial and neat. But I have a problem on the hands that's the same hue as the dial. I hope they have a darker colour of the hands for contrast and easier to glance the time. Thanks
Damn, that watch looks significantly better than the previous model. I'm still not a fan of non resuable packaging, but their packaging does look fantastic. No idea how much it is though.
Please review the Long Island watch brand! I think the Islander series has some spectacular pieces.
Definitely an improvement! If you guys are listening, if you can pull off an interesting hommage to the nomos club that is not just a copy, you´d have my full attention:)
Hey Ben! could you please review the casio gshock ga 2000 which is also like the ga2100 but its round and is 47mm.
And tbh, I do find their design quite original actually. Every watch will have some similarities with others, but Nezumi really seem to create their own design identity. This is an amazing brand and definitely on my list!
