Very cool, Eve! That seems like a very cool event you got to attend and the watch looks great! I like that blue dial version, I'll have to check out the brand's site that you linked. Have a great week! 😎👍🍻
Thanks Dave!!! Have a great week too!
Uy ganda ng date window nya...nasa 6 o clock position. Napaka symmectrical tingnan. Tsaka ganda ng cream dial.
I really like the 6 o clock date window too! And the framing. 😁
Very cool that you got to attend a watch event 👏
I wish Argo the best of luck 👍🏼
Thanks Miguel! It's not a watch event though. It's an event showcasing Filipino crafts, food, and fashion. I bought clothes and chocolates. 😋
@@AliasEveWatches got it 👍🏼
Thank you for the feature, Eve! 🇵🇭
You're welcome!!
I didn't know this microbrand! I love the blue dial one 💙
im glad you were able to find out about it here! 😄
I really like this watch. Like you said in your video it truly is a go anywhere watch. It almost looks like a dressy field watch in my opinion. I also appreciate they put the date window at the 6 o'clock position; something I wish was more common than the 3 o'clock position. NIce review!
Thank you so much James! I like 6 o clock date windows too. 😁 Better symmetry! I wonder why 3 o clock date windows became the norm. Dressy-field-watch is a great description!
Looks awesome. Definitely better to support a micro brand than buy ANOTHER Seiko. Cheers.
While I'm not in the market for another watch, I wanted to use my efforts in promoting a microbrand that would bring in work for fellow Filipinos 😁
Huh cool Microbrand love the blue dial one.
Glad you like it! 😁
Great video, Eve,thank you😊👍. The dial is beautiful, especially the cream. So hey, how was the metal bracelet? Looks like the strap is quick change, how is it?
I wasn't able to try it on the bracelet because it was wrapped in plastic. I got to try the one in rubber, which was quick release. 😁 I checked back the unused b-roll (in my recycle bin), the links are solid but I can't zoom in to see if it's split pin or screw links. The buckle has 4 microadjustment holes.
Thanks so much for checking out the video! 😁
Wow thanks for the extra effort, Eve😊👍!
@@scottlalonde2878 Of course! 😁
Nice ❤
Thanks 😊
why are the batons longer than the numerals? should it be the other way around with the north east and west indices taller than the other ones? Notice how the date window is so high up different than the rest of the indices.. the whole thing doesn't work
Great watch, Eve. Wear it in good health! ❤
Thanks! But I just tried it on at the Artefino Festival, I didn't take it home with me. 😅 I'm still on my no-buy phase.
That's just me not paying attention. Hope you have a great week! 🙌
@@timeandnourishment1961 Have a great week ahead, David!
They all look awesome the one at the of video could be an alternative to the Explorer with a date window at the six
Yup! I thought it was explorer-ish with the 3/9/12 so i thought the Odyssey name was apt. 😁 Thanks for watching!
This is the third Filipino microbrand that i know of
Who were the other 2? 😁
@@AliasEveWatches Ibarra and Makina, both excellent. They also use Seiko automatic movements.
Hi, Eve! What's your take on the Filipino microbrand, Makina? Great vids btw!
I like the brand and I like what they're doing! Not all the designs speak to me, but i really like the Andras (grey rectangular one) and the Uriel V onwards with the Sellita mvmt. They're avant-garde at a relatively affordable price (in the global scheme of things).
@@AliasEveWatches The grey Andras is my pick too! I'd love to try one on before i can decide to buy or not. Sadly they have no displays in visayas region.
@@piseff2023 Oh :( Hopefully if you have a chance to visit Manila, drop by at Powerplant Mall. Argos and DeGuzman are also there!
That blue is real nice.
The blue one is nice but i dont think I was able to capture it given the lighting conditions 😁
There is an Indian watch microbrand called Argos and the font of that brand name looks very similar to this one.
i've seen some videos of it! 😁
Why is the brand claiming to be indian brand in the advert
There's also another Argos in India, no relation to the Philippine one.
Don't like the dial, the indices particularly.
What dont you like about the indices?
I rewatched it on the big screen and paid closer attention to the cream colour dial, could just be the video, but the detail came out much better on the cream dial. The indices looked taller and sharper and the dial looked more textured. The blue watch just looked completely dull and lifeless. If the blue one looks like the cream one, then I retract my statement. Looks like a domed crystal, I think flat would help keep that dial more clear. Don't need distortion on a dial like that.
That said, I think micro brands should have some wow factor, given that they make fewer watches and don't have to appeal to the wide general public. I personally don't even see any one single aspect of this watch that makes me say 'wow'.
Case shape looks nice. They should have made it all numerals, scrap the date window, get rid of the orange tip that has no connection to the rest of the dial .. I don't like the rehault .. I just don't want to look at that dial.. I don't like it.
I would never buy this watch and if I got it for free I would never wear it.
Not bad watches but a really unfortunate name if you live in the UK.
Ooohhh, what's going on in the UK???
Cheers
Argos in Britain is a big chain of discount stores , nothing wrong with that,but I don’t think many people would want that name on the dial of their watch.
Imagine the Walmart Odyssey.
@@leosmoonfish2849 Oh 😳😳😳 Good thing it's not used in the Philippines! Perhaps the UK-based Filipinos won't like that either. 😅
Even worse in Ireland as Argos ceased operation in here.
