Having one delivered tomorrow. Nice to get something from France that doesn't arrive in an inflatable dingy. Unless it is a bracelet, any 20mm strap will fit
I’m wearing mine on a Barton’s Elite silicone strap, which brings this top-heavy watch head to a whole other level of comfort, while looking perfectly classic 👌
@@NordicWatchChannel It’s the M1 on a black/ red underside - red accent plays well with the second hand red tip. Strap has slight preform built in to really aid and control that top heavy watch head. It really does have that sophisticated Aquanaut sports watch vibe going now!
I traded this watch for a Certina DS Action Diver 38mm a few months ago! I liked the watch but the deal was so good I had to take it😁 The grey dial did not grow on me as much as I had hoped it would (I would have liked the black dial better) and the watch was quite hefty for its size. The case felt quite top heavy on the Yema leather strap. Other than that, it was great!
@@NordicWatchChannel Ahh! Gotcha thanks for letting me know. It was on my radar, but now I'm feeling like maaaaybe not...after reading a lot of CS issues...I started to stray away from the automatic/mechanical watches from YEMA! Thanks for your input, most likely if purchasing from YEMA I'll get a mecha-quartz or quartz!
I’ve also heard some CS complaints after making this video. It’s a shame, since I feel that they make really nice designs. I think a quartz version might be the right call with Yema!😎
@@NordicWatchChannel Hi, I'm actually thinking about purchasing the 38mm Certina. How do you like it so far? Do you think it is a better watch than this Yema? Thanks
@@NordicWatchChannel hopefully they have a promo or it comes up in the 2nd hand market because it's quite a good bracelet which surprisingly has a diver's extension. Anyway, great review, I have the same watch as well. Quite undervalued in my opinion.
Purchased recently black dial, beautiful watch, accuracy in spec, really comfortable on nylon strap it came with.
Congrats! I would have preferred the black one also. Agree with all the points you made :) Great package for the price👍🏻
Great review Anders,
I was waiting for it 👌
Thanks mate! Glad to hear that :)

That sounds like a great match! What color, if I may ask?

That sounds fantastic! I used to have a barton elite silicone so I know exactly what you mean! Great choice!👌🏻
Like sound of that.
Interesting alternative, I like it!
It’s different! I like it too👍🏻 Nice to have something a little more original and out of the ordinary.
I have the same yema and like it. The Sinn dial looks more crisp however.
True. The black dial contrasts more strongly with the numerals. And the white paint on the Sinn numerals is super bright and crisp too👍🏻
How do you like it? Do you still have it? (:

Well, this answer is long overdue. But I did prefer it over the Yema, yes.
Looks really nice, just a word of warning. If you need to use their customer services, just be prepared for a headache.
I’ve actually heard that before! That’s disappointing to hear👎🏼
@@NordicWatchChannel I had a nightmare getting my watch sorted. Ended up selling as I can't support terrible service like that
That’s a bummer. Did you get it sorted before selling at least?
@@NordicWatchChannel Yeah after a fashion.
Ok well glad you got it sorted in the end. Sad to hear that their customer care sucks.
You can order just the bracelet from Yema or Gnomon watches.
Yeah but it’s like 200 USD or 170 EUROs. Not worth it imo🤷🏼♂️
@@NordicWatchChannel ah true. Thats why I always try to go for the bracelet version when able. Because aftermarket can be crazy sometimes.
Yeah same here!👍🏻 Always go for the bracelet if you have the option. This time I didn’t😕

Hope so! Thanks mate, glad you enjoyed it👍🏻
