    Great review, I've got Black-Green bezel and wore almost everyday for 2 months. I found some issues for mine.
    1. Bezel alignment, just a millimeter to the left.
    2. Endlinks are so tight, sometime not move freely.
    3. Crown is not feel so smooth, sometime hard to tight it.
    After I send message to them, they sent service team to pickup at my house in next day (I live in Bangkok). Then they fix it and sent back within a day. All issues has been gone.
    What a great customer service.

    I recently got my first Wise, AD840, not the GMT. I have to say, I was absolutely floored by the amazing quality and appearance of this watch. The dial texture plays with light beautifully which I didn't expect, the polished surfaces play with reflections on the outside. The bracelet is lovely and comfortable with micro adjustment on the clasp and the watch is much thinner than you might expect. Easily one of my favorite watches at easily half the price or less than some of my other favorites.

    Update: Just got the watch yesterday and am very happy with it. It looks way better in person, the dial does not come through on video or pictures as it does in real life! The watch looks and feels very premium. One thing that I do want to mention because I haven't seen anyone comment on this. The clasp deployment mechanism seems to be smaller than any other watch I own. When the watch is adjusted to the correct fit (snug) I have a difficult time getting it over my hand. Its not terrible but all my other watches slide easily over my hand with room to spare, this one takes a little time and care. Maybe my hands are disproportionately large to my wrist but I don't think so. The clasp mechanism is exactly the same length as the buckle of the clasp which makes it sit flat on the wrist and looks really nice.. Most of my other watches have a little longer mechanism that extends beyond the buckle and under the first link or two of the bracelet which makes putting it on and taking it off much easier at the expense of sitting flat and having a nice smooth look.
    Thanks Dave!! I got the gray one, Still waiting, Should ship around the 9th. I was worried a little about the blingy bracelet not looking good because of smudges and scratches but went with it anyway because of the 4hz travelers gmt (hope it's a good movement, Haven't had a Miyota yet) And the overall looks and reputation for build quality.

      I got the Zelos Mako 300M GMT, which also uses the Miyota 9075. Nice movement, but my sample runs consistently fast by a notable amount. That's an issue with Zelos's efforts (or non-efforts) at regulating movements before they go out the door, not with the movement itself. It's great otherwise.

    I received my ADX 110 in grey with a yellow gmt hand at the beginning of this week. Love the watch, keep looking at it. The lume is indeed insane, however, since the watch dial is relatively small, it is hard to see the gmt in the dark, as it is tiny. And that is my only overall criticism: the dial should really be 43 or 44mm, the watch is just too small imho. Or at least there should be a large version, next to this one. I measure 39.9mm, not the stated 40mm also. But again, love it, its so good looking for that money.

    WISE has so many attractive watches and I keep thinking I'm going to pull the trigger on one. This GMT may be a better sub for the Rolex Master II than anything else I have or am likely to get, but I kinda bought the Vaer G5 for that purpose when it first appeared. My first (and recent) Zelos purchase was the Mako GMT and I love my CW C63 Sealander GMT, so I just can't see another GMT for the foreseeable future. But its always fun to browse .

    I've already got a Seiko SSK and a Zelos Mako 300M GMT, both of which are great. If I were to get another GMT watch, it would have to be something that doesn't look like a dive watch. I can picture this Wise without the big bezel and relying only on the small ring of 24-hour numbers on the dial - that would be a nice option.

  • @vonkruel

    Great review!!! The dial and hand set layouts do look really good. But as you said, the brown bezel reminds me of the color of my "morning ritual" in the bathroom, ha ha. I just wish it was much darker and richer brown color. then, it would have been a winner. Also as for the bezel color bezel, I think it is still too light blue and somewhat it does make the watch bit cheaper look. it is quite amazing how much of colors reflect the perception of watch. Anyway, great review and I thank you.

    Which would you choose? Im not a fan of the poo brown, so I've been torn beteeen the ADX 130 with the blue bezel and the 110 in grey. I really like the consistent overall look of the 110 which is more formal and I love the increased sunburst effect on the grey dial although that may make the hands less legible and the grey though looks a bit flat.

    Glad to see your findings on the ADX are congruent with others. I do agree with your initial preference for the brown as well as the fact that the shade ultimately proves too light. That said, the blue doesn't really excite me in the same way. Perhaps the green would have been a more interesting choice. I love how it presents on your wrist, but ultimately this quite foolish and sporty styling is less for me than some dressier options from Wise.
