If you're not bothered by "made in Switzerland" you can buy something made in China that will cost half as much and probably be better.

@the_watchgent 5 күн бұрын

I'm not so sure about the probably be better part, but they are cheaper. Chinese watches are good for their price point.

@@the_watchgent with all due respect they are better than that. I would put San Martin up against anything Tissot produce. They also produce parts for many high end Swiss watches. I have many Swiss made watches, including Rolex, Tudor, and Chris Ward, and the finishing on a good Chinese watch is as good

I bought the blue version before this as it was on a heavy discount. It was so good I bought the black dial and the green dial also. I love them to bits. Regulars in the rotation. All run about 5 - 6 sec a day on the wrist. Certina quoted me a service pre pandemic at 180£. Apparently they simply swap movements and send the old unit back to swatch for a recondition. Work guaranteed by Certina.

Both Certina and Hamilton use the same powermatic 80 movement, I believe. Personally, I prefer the Certina, though, due to it having a ceramic bezel and micro adjustment on the claps.

@DarthPlaya 4 ай бұрын

Good video, Thumbs up given. C-Ward all day every day! One of the most important feature when it comes to choosing a watch (for me) is beat rate. That being said, the fact that Certina lowers the beat rate of their Power 80 movement in order to achieve their higher power reserve, always puts them at a disatvantage in my opinion. I know what I'm about to say is probably a hot take and will have the Certina fan boys "At Me" but as far as I'm concerned the Power 80 is barely better than having a "standard" beat Seiko NH35A in their watches. (OPEN FIRE!)

@the_watchgent 4 ай бұрын

The Nh35 is still a great movement, I do love the sweep of the Trident second hand over the Certina but the 80 hours power reserve is a great advantage. Personally, I find the stp 1-11 movement in my roamer a far better movement. Thanks for the thumbs up and glad you enjoyed the video.

@DarthPlaya 4 ай бұрын

@@the_watchgent You have a valid point, well taken. For me, since I have a good number of watches in my rotation and almost never wear any one watch more than a day or two, power reserve is of little concern to me. i hope I'm not sounding like I'm poo pooing the NH35, it's in some of my most loved watches, and a reliable workhorse. But for me high beat rate is king!

@the_watchgent 4 ай бұрын

@DarthPlaya everyone is going to have a different opinion on their tastes, this is what makes watch collecting great. there is so much variety. The sweep of a high beat moment is great and definitely ad's class to a watch. I'm not bothered about the slower beat rate in the certina as it feels a rugged watch. Something like a tissot prx the lower beat would put me off a bit.
