I have the blue dial & blue leather strap Jazzmaster and it's stunning! It's a dress watch that looks modern and doesn't have the grandpa vibe as many other dress watches.

I have two Islander watches, the Mitchell and the Port Jeff GMT. Both great values. I’m with you on the labels. What makes it a pilot watch? Anyway, I like this model as my old eyes can see the numbers.

Wow! Your video perfectly describes my experience with trying figure out the differences between the NJ0151-88M and NJ0151-53M versions. I mean, I’ve had it in my cart for the past couple days at Jomashop ($209) and have spent way too much time trying to learn the difference after realizing there was one. I even considered going to Macy’s! The funny thing funny thing is i’ve lived in Austin for 22 years and my wrist… you guessed it… 7.25” !!Please tell me you found out what the difference was shortly after making this video. Thanks!

Seiko will always leave something important in a watch.. they got my dream watch.. but this time in a big bezel! Where is the 37mm.. I searched a 37mm quartz from seiko but had hardlex. These people never get it right. Bought none

You're right, who cares what it is...pilot, field, dress....the bottom line like you said it's just a fantastic watch! I have the date version and as simplistic as it is, I find myself just staring at it in awe, so easy to read, easy to wear, strap monster....it has it all. Great review!

I own this on, one of five Islanders in my collection. I thought of giving it away as a present- many times. The small hour hand bugged me.. Yet it is still with me, for more than 3 years. it’s a strap monster for real and I played a lot with straps and bands on it. It has a very simple look, clean design, I think it’s a beautiful piece, great proportions a sizes, excellent finishing, Islander built quality- I don’t think I will be successful in departing from it😉.

yeah if you've "thought" about giving it away but just couldn't, then DO NOT sell it or give it away. You will regret it forever. I actually like the hands but I also REALLY like long hands so I understand what you mean

Love the muted grey of the titanium. I felt the stainless steel version was just too shiny for me. The titanium is more understated and the blue dial against the grey titanium really pops in the sunlight

I agree, the stainless is pretty shiny. I own a 38mm khaki field auto. completely different look for sure!

Dood. I gave you a like and watched all the way through to help you out, because your video came across my feed (I have a similar watch and love it btw). Maybe this comment will help the algo as well, but this comment is really a suggestion to go look at the definition of "Arabic numerals." There are actually eighteen Arabic numerals in the title of this video.

yours is the J1...Made in Japan variant, which the premier model. Toss the bracelet, and go either Seiko OEM, Silicone, or the others quality after mrkt bands.Would avoid the steel bracelets as the tolerances mostly are incompatible.

I couldn't help but notice that the Hamilton khaki auto has a noticeable white edge around the sapphire crystal while the other watches don't. Not a fan of this. I think it diminishes the look of the crystal and I've only ever seen this on AliExpress watches from China so I've always thought it was a budget thing but seeing it on a close to $1k Hamilton is weird.

Great video ! I love comparing watches too ! But before I buy and I get as much info as I can on whatever style of watches I'm into at the time and now it's all military watches ! What I do is get face on pictures of whatever watches I can't decide on then make a collage in the photo app and look at them all next to each other and that saves me alot of money as I only spend it on what I know I love and will wear for a longtime I've just bought the one you have the Hamilton titanium with the blue dial and its great ...the strap I love also ! They have such a big catalogue available to them being part of the Swatch group and the military watches of old ! Then 3 days ago I bought the new Hamilton pioneer chrono mechanical with the vintage dial and I love that too !!! The straps they always get right as I'm not a fan of tapering straps ....looks cheap ! Don't know why Rolex does it ?? If you see a Jeager LeCoutre the straps do not taper and they look amazing ! Anyway I look forward to your next video...and I to getting the Khaki Chrono field with the bund strap !
