It's a nice watch, but I wish it had a different movement. The lack of a running second makes the watch somewhat lifeless imho. The different movement I'm referring to is the Miyota 6S21. It has a running second instead of the 24 hour subdial and a sweeping chrono hand just like the Seiko VK64.
I hear you, though I'm of mixed feelings. While I generally find the 24-hr dial to be redundant, it can be useful, at least in setting. With mechanical watches dominating my (and most others) collection, the lack of visible movement is always a bit of an adjustment (thinking the movement isn't going). However, my biggest deterrent/complaint with quartz watches is the ticking second. Though it's a personal preference/pet peeve, and it's not as pronounced with a small second (the only way I can tolerate), I still kind of like the tranquility of avoiding it all together. The VK movements consistently prove to be polarizing. Cheers
@JonathanTReviews That's part of what I meant, a small dial ticking second isn't much of an issue to me. That said, three of my quartz watches (apart from Casio digital watches) have ticking seconds, and I love them (one Grand Seiko, a vintage quartz Omega and a radio controlled Casio Oceanus)
Great video review! I love the yellow & I’m I Steeler fan (like you) living in Steeler country. That said, I do wish it had a running seconds hand & I wish it was solar so no bother with any battery changes; maybe the next model will have some of my wishes come true. Anyway, again I’d like to say great job on the vid!
I previously had the pleasure of reviewing the Moss Green version of that model (along with their first release). Very different style, but great watch. Cheers
Unfortunately, that would include a pretty good price bump (and likely thickness too), unless using a manual wind ST variant (which would also likely reduce reliability). I love mechanical watches (which significantly dominate my collection), but appreciate the benefits of a mechaquartz too. Cheers

I got the panda from the Kickstarter. I may have about a dozen VK chronos and this one on bracelet is probably my favorite. Highly recommended.
It is excellently done! I'm thoroughly enjoying it as well. Such a versatile grab and go choice. Cheers
Thank you for sharing Jonathan, glad you're enjoying the Voyager!
My pleasure! You've put together an excellent first offering 🥂

@slavawinters Thanks so much for the kind words and feedback!
PS - Can't believe they're off to a 6-2 start! Here we go, Steelers, here we go!
Beautiful watch...but the clasp kills the deal.
It could certainly be enhanced and would elevate the watch. On the plus side, the bracelet is still super comfortable. Cheers
if u like yellow take a look at the Nordic marine instruments SOVERN

This should be automatic

@@JonathanTReviews I would accept price increase 🙋🇩🇪
