    Today we are unboxing another WISE, that if you follow my channel KNOW is one of my favorite microbrands!! Hand assembled in Thailand, each and every one was incredibly well made with almost no foreign materials found even under macro and with impecable finish. Their quality is so high and so consistent for the price, I started reffering to them as Grand Seiko of Microbrands!
    The ADX is a TRUE travelers GMT as it uses a Miyota 9075 that allows you to move the hour hand independently, so changing time zones as you travel is easy and you don't have to stop the minutes and seconds, unlike more common "caller" GMT that we usually see on microbrands that use Seiko NH34 and ETA based GMT movements, where you can move the GMT hand instead of the hour hand.
    This being WISE, they also made a PROPER GMT bezel that is not only bidirectional, but also has 72 clicks, as a GMT bezel should have. Again, most microbrands out there simply slap a GMT insert on to an existing diver bezel that is usually 60 or 120 clicks and unidirectional, showing WISE IS on a another level.
    It is also another model of theirs done in 904L steel, the same one used by Rolex, instead of the more common 316L, and it comes on their new bracelet that, despite having T-shaped male end links, doesn't increase the total lug to lug of the watch, thanks to a clever design.
    This is definitely THE BEST WISE I've handled so far and IMHO the best GMT under $1.000 on the market!
    As usual, stay tuned for the full review

    Wise makes some incredibly beautiful and incredibly well built watches for the money. For *under* $1,000usd this is absolutely worth it. This in this exact rootbeer(ish) color way will be added to my collection. I can't wait to see your full review after you've worn it for some time. Thank you.

    That's pretty cool that they include the right kind of Loctite (222 I believe) for the screws. WISE has become one of the more interesting micro-brands for me. If I wanted a flyer GMT I'd choose the Miyota 9075, and it would probably come down to WISE vs. Jack Mason. I'd love to have a 904L watch in my collection, and there I'd be choosing between BALL and WISE.

  • @benjaminvis
    @benjaminvis 3 месяца назад +1

    I'm pretty much in agreement with you, but ultimately have to say that I far prefer the design of the AD8. Nkt that this is badly done. Not at all. I prefer it to the Rolex, but the additional time zone with a pretty promounced bezel makes it all quite busy for my taste. I woudl tend to agree, though, that probably the AD8 would be even better with just a couple of brushed accents. That would really finish it off 8n accordance with its genre, as they did on the bronzes. Except for that, arguably the only thing I prefer on this ADX is the hour hand. I'm perfectly fine with AD8's hour hand, but knowing it could have been shaped like this, I think that would be even better. I also very much like the crown guards here, but they wouldn't be right on the AD8. I guess, for me, I wouldn't decide to swap watches just to have differentiating finish from a brand, but then you seem quite enthusiastic about all the ADX represents.

  • @pcpan31
    @pcpan31 3 месяца назад +1

    What a timely video for me. I’m considering purchasing one; the sunburst gray dial with gray/ black bezel or green/black one. Now you have me considering this model too…😂 I’m a female w/6” wrist and WISE told me the fit would be fine. I’m looking forward to your macro shots! The WISE YT video wasn’t very impressive with the bezel you showed; the brown looked dull & coppery.

    Very good looking watch. Really like the whole design and the dial is interesting. It's understandable that the GMT hand is just hitting the inner ring. Well worth the price. Only things I'd add is some taper on the bracelet, and a nice engraved caseback. The Miyota isn't really worth displaying. The lume is very impressive. I do like a good lume performance. Thanks for the video ! Look forward to seeing more about this watch.

    I think for under 1k, this watch is worth it to buy. Its a GMT,looks luxury enough and that dial is simple i really like it. Unlike some gmt watch there's so many number on the dial which make it looks messy, well that's my opinion about this😅. Thanks to this channel, i just learn about this brand today.

  • @mariodasilva8729
    @mariodasilva8729 Месяц назад

    Ive started a collection of watches under $1000. Every box is either a different size or not rectangular, and its getting annoying because you cannot stack them on top of each other nor can you shelve them like books. Its more ridiculous if you want to see the box before buying it, right? im looking for a box maker where i can buy 50 boxes, stack them like books and pick one box off the rack when i want one for a particular event. Is that sensible?

    Wow this is a very nice sharp looking watch. Beautiful. Would have been killer on a better bracelet - jubilee styled or beads of rice or something of that sort, and tapering
