Love this! Sugess is actually one of the best AliExpress brands as Seestern is also a subbrand of them. The watch has a vintage inspired design and comes on a modern strap. Here it actually works! 🧡
There is no denying this is an absolute stunner of a watch. I was after something with an ST19 movement in and was torn between this and the Seagull 1963. I plumped for the 63 in the end but wouldn’t be surprised to see this in my collection at some point.
I literally bought it for my birthday during AliExpress sale. It is such a nice watch for the price. You can see the beautiful chrono movement and I love it!
This is just an outstanding watch, I've had my eye on it for a while....next time it goes on sale I will pull the trigger on one. Thank you Jason for sharing and be well my friend 👍
Hi Jason You don't see to many Sugess watches being reviewed so it was good to see this one, and I must say it looks really nice, I've been looking at the Sugess Moon-phase recently not pulled the trigger yet but who knows, maybe soon ...stay safe
Picked on of the Deus Ex Machina homages up late last year. It's a cracker. Take my advice. Put it on a crazy horse bund strap from Vario. Best mechanical chronograph for the money anywhere, and is the perfect Claytons Breitling.
That’s a belter, only criticism is the orange strap, I would prefer it on a rally leather strap. I know it’s a bretling homage but it puts me in mind of Nezumi Studio watches as well. The movement is sensational, you could almost wear the movement side
Another thing I like about the color schemes is the time hands, hours minutes and small seconds as well as the color around the markers match and the chronograph hands, the large seconds and the small minute are a different shade of orange. Really nice touch. Mine is running about-6spd.
Hi Jason, that is a very nice watch. I am amazed about these Chinese Brands. It is like the Pagani Design brand....it is mind blowing concerning quality and accuracy. So nice. 👍. I think ( without being 100%sure) that Seagul bought the license and the manufacturing tools from a Swiss company in early '60. The Seagul 1963 is equipped with a Swiss movement that came from the "Venus 175" Swiss movement. Sugess is part of this share I think.
Tienjin (Sea-Gull) bought the equipment and drawings from a Swiss movement factory called Venus in the 60s and moved everything to China. That is the origin of ST19
I really do like the look of these Chinese chronographs from brands like Sugess, Merkur & Sea-Gull. Seems like there may be some variations, as some have 19 jewels & others21. However, the point holding me back is the thought of servicing costs as & when the need arises. I can imagine it will be a tad expensive to have this beautiful movement worked on. But they are nice.
I really wish they carried over the lightning bolt had over to the blue dial Oh well can't win them all Just saying Anyways Thanks for another killer review my friend 👍
Looks top 👌 great video jason looking forward to getting on my wrist 😍 Did not pay any extra for the strap was a surprise to me aswel. And your welcome you put alot of time and effort into your channel and always do great job!
Love this watch. One issue with it though is the hands get lost with the face making it hard to read. You better know what time it is roughly to help locate the hands to read the time. Macro shots make it easier to read, so if you need a readable watch, beware. Lume is surprisingly good though. Enjoy...but be warned
It really is the dogs....we all love the ST19 movement, can spend a lot of time just looking at it....I'd prefer to be all brushed but that's just me....there is most definitely one of these in my future....🏴⌚🏴⌚
Like others have posted; this watch is Chinese produced & that means Chinese quality control & dependability. I had one of these & the actuator started sticking after about 6 months. The Seagull movement is decent for the price; it’s more about the overall execution being uninspiring.

Couldn't agree more. I haven't had a complaint of any of the watches I've seen from either brand

Couldn't blame you for either purchase, fantastic watches buddy
I took delivery of one 2 weeks ago. It comes with the mesh strap at no extra cost. My new favourite watch.
Thats good then, I'm really enjoying it
I literally bought it for my birthday during AliExpress sale. It is such a nice watch for the price. You can see the beautiful chrono movement and I love it!
Fantastic piece to treat yourself with! Enjoy it buddy
I just got the same watch about two weeks ago and I love it. I have gotten a lot of compliments on it.

Treat yourself! You deserve it haha!
@@JasonTheWatchGuy Thank you mate. That's what I keep telling my wife 🙂

Strange we don't see them more because they're really high quality pieces and really well priced also! You too buddy

Love vario straps!

I was saying to someone else the other day that I think its a two sided watch, looks just as good from the back as the front

Cracking watch, Jason. This might end up being a birthday prezzie from me to me. Cheers 🍻!
Do it, you deserve it haha!

I think you're right! Venus sounds right to me. It's incredible what they've done with it, love seeing a watch with the st19 in

I think the movements may be more cost effective to replace rather than service in fairness

Everyone loves a lightening bolt second hand
Hello Jason ! Great watch and at a decent price ,I have that movement and it is a work of art . Great review 👍 best of luck to you , 👍 cheers 👍
Such a nice movement to view! For the price I don't think I've seen a better looking watch movement
Now this is available with a swan neck addition I am going to have to get one. Nice watch! 👍
Looks top 👌 great video jason looking forward to getting on my wrist 😍
Did not pay any extra for the strap was a surprise to me aswel.

You're going to love it mate! Absolute joy to have in.
Thanks man, really does help me out 🙌

Top pusher on my Sugess chronograph hand wind is pretty hard to get to click in. Typical or not?
Could be a strange one...depends what you're comparing it to I guess
It really is the dogs....we all love the ST19 movement, can spend a lot of time just looking at it....I'd prefer to be all brushed but that's just me....there is most definitely one of these in my future....🏴⌚🏴⌚
Sometimes I wish I could wear it in reverse with that movement haha! I'd have liked some brushing also to be fair.
@@JasonTheWatchGuy that would make a good watch, this movement and hands only, Id buy one....
I'd end up buying multiple 😂😂😂
Great review, just picked one up in the latest AliExpress sale. Hopefully it will be with me soon
Enjoy it! Theyre beauties

I have put it on a orange leather strap, also nice!
Looks great indeed.😊
Yes
☝️☝️☝️
Sugess is neck and neck with san martin these days in the finish dept.
Couldn't argue, especially after seeing the Seestern pieces
Wow!
Exactly!
Love the Lighting bolt..& colour. I have the Seagull. (A Special1 1). Gonna send U a smiley Video. ps i subscribed as well.🙏😎
Thank you for subscribing buddy !
i have this in the bronze. love it..
They do this in bronze!? 😱
@@JasonTheWatchGuy yup
@@JasonTheWatchGuy solid bronze too. None of that coating crap. I think it ran me around $200 usd
These are sold on the Seestern site.
Yes, the companies are linked
I think im in love😍
I am a looker to be fair
@@JasonTheWatchGuy 🤣🤣
Could you wear this on a run?
Nothing would stop you from doing so but it's not really a sports watch
A few sore heads today mate! UTFT
Chelsea had no chance mate, it was 40,000 v 11 haha
@@JasonTheWatchGuy incredible scenes mate
I love this one, I just can't get behind the lightning bolt chrono hand. It doesn't actually point where it should and that just bothers me.
It's a copy , not a homage. And the Quality of the dial is awful.
Not though is it..m
I think “homages” are a big no.
