A Glimpse Into The Future of Mechanical Watches?

[@sweetcorn1968]

It certainly is a unique design. Not something I'd usually go for, but the design would make it a conversation starter.

[@HonestWatchReviewsHWR]

@@sweetcorn1968 If it didn't have the mechanical element to it, then I wouldn't like it anywhere near as much I don't think.

[@Ed30675]

I echo your comment... interesting but not for me....

[@redbarchetta8782]

That is interesting, and the prices are reasonable.

[@HonestWatchReviewsHWR]

@@redbarchetta8782 Have you ever seen anything like this before?

[@dunderhay9169]

Thanks for reviewing 👍. That really is very impressive, they've re-invented the way to display time, no hands/discs etc and they seem to have thought it through with that sleep mode and light. The fact that it actually looks OK on wrist is the biggest surprise though, I'm intrigued to see what they come up with next.

[@HonestWatchReviewsHWR]

@@dunderhay9169 It really is a well though out and impressive overall design isn't it? I was also surprised at how well it wears too. But given the dimensions, it makes sense.

[@spydergkh6337]

Nice Review!!! Awesome watch!! I've had mine about 2 weeks. 👍 It's the yellow / black (PVD) combo. I ordered mine on the leather strap + the flurorubber strap. MECEXP mentions 30-35 days on a single charge. The triple LED backlight is very cool, too!

[@HonestWatchReviewsHWR]

@@spydergkh6337 Cheers I'm glad you liked it. Which strap have you been wearing it on the most then? Yeah the battery life is really impressive isn't it?

[@spydergkh6337]

@@HonestWatchReviewsHWR Still wearing it on the leather strap. I'll probably try out the rubber strap in the next few days. With that said, the leather strap is very comfortable. Both are really nice quality, for sure! Both straps are signed. 👍 All around, the entire MS1001 is an impressive package! Yeah, 30-35 days between charging seems crazy! Impressive! 🍻

[@HonestWatchReviewsHWR]

@@spydergkh6337 It's got to know that the rubber strap is good quality too 👍

[@spydergkh6337]

​@@HonestWatchReviewsHWR I installed the rubber strap the other day, and it is a really snug fit to the case! It took a bit of work getting the pins to engage in the lugs. I seemingly had both installed. But; they weren't. I had to push on the strap pretty hard to get the pins to fully engage, although looking through the drilled lugs, it looked like they were in. Once in, perfect! Super comfortable rubber strap! So; if you do buy the rubber strap, make sure that you do a tug test to confirm both strap pins are in before wearing it. 👍🍻🙂

[@HonestWatchReviewsHWR]

@@spydergkh6337 That's good to know, thanks for the update mate 👍

[@Harriswatches]

Hello there, interesting. We just wanted to take the opportunity to quickly introduce ourselves: we are Harris watches from Germany. We have just started. Our watches are probably unlike anything you might have ever heard or seen before. If you share our kind of weird humor, that is. Regards.

[@magstheonlyone]

I think I'm convinced, nice specs for the price.

[@HonestWatchReviewsHWR]

@@magstheonlyone They did a really good job didn't they? It's definitely been thought out thoroughly.

[@drebarthelotte5712]

I like it. Nice chunky design that makes noises and lights up. 😊

[@HonestWatchReviewsHWR]

@@drebarthelotte5712 It's quite deceptive when it comes to the size... Yes, it's quite chunky, but it also wears smaller than you'd think a watch of this style would on wrist too. The electromechanical movement is pretty cool isn't it?

[@drebarthelotte5712]

@HonestWatchReviewsHWR that's why I like. I'll take a noisey 8215 on my wrist knowing that is a tank. Why don't people like hearing their watches I flick my wrist just to hear. I don't own any apple or galaxy smart watch. It's a mechanical love

[@drebarthelotte5712]

That back light is perfect

[@HonestWatchReviewsHWR]

@@drebarthelotte5712 The backlight is very impressive.

[@akash_goel]

1. "MechEx" would be perfect. 2. If they made a solar version of this, it would be perfect.

[@HonestWatchReviewsHWR]

@@akash_goel Yeah I'd have gone for MechEx as well. Solar would have been a nice thing to have.

[@brettsanders2102]

Now you have had it a while, what's the accuracy like?

[@HonestWatchReviewsHWR]

@@brettsanders2102 No issues at all with accuracy.

[@hootonhoot]

Like the sounds it makes too!

[@HonestWatchReviewsHWR]

@@hootonhoot Yeah they're cool aren't they?

[@mauricesoulis1590]

Hi James- meh-too goofy 4me and I dig weird watches😂 There was a digi version of this back in 2005 I recall. I bought one. Terrible product. Great review🚀🏆

[@HonestWatchReviewsHWR]

@@mauricesoulis1590 Interesting, do you mean from the same brand?

[@mauricesoulis1590]

@@HonestWatchReviewsHWR No-a cheap Chinese digital that had 2 columns akin to the one u showed- I paid 60 usd & returned it promptly- the parent company was “Swiss legend” tho.

[@HonestWatchReviewsHWR]

@@mauricesoulis1590 Ah ok, I get you.

[@adk7962]

Very cool. A watch that’s cool and can help occupy my mild ADHD 😅. And we have same size wrist so I know it will fit. Although another reviewer with smaller wrist reviewed it and it seems to fit him ok also. Thanks for the great review!

[@HonestWatchReviewsHWR]

@@adk7962 I end up playing with it far too much because of my mild OCD... Once I start it's difficult to stop 😆 What size wrist did they have?

[@adk7962]

@@HonestWatchReviewsHWR It was Zee from the Watcher. His wrist is 6.5in.

[@HonestWatchReviewsHWR]

@@adk7962 Ah ok.

[@michaelj8793]

First of all it's just not my cup of tea although I can really appreciate the work that went into creating this one of a kind time machine for the wrist it should be very interesting to see what they might come up with in the future Thanks for sharing my friend Be well and Keep em coming 👍

[@HonestWatchReviewsHWR]

@@michaelj8793 That's when you know they've done a good job, because you're still interested to find out about it, even though you wouldn't buy one yourself.

[@WatchTheFeck]

That's a great design that would no doubt cost thousands if it was a big brand. Definitely a bargain conversation starter

[@HonestWatchReviewsHWR]

@@WatchTheFeck Yeah it absolutely would.

[@gregtolley3455]

I was prepared to hate this but it's a very cool piece. Probably be able to pick it up for $250 or so on sale.

[@HonestWatchReviewsHWR]

@@gregtolley3455 The electromechanical movement is really cool isn't it? Have you seen anything like it before?

[@kyledriscollmusic]

it's a bit too big for me and the branding is kinda dumb, but I like it

[@HonestWatchReviewsHWR]

@@kyledriscollmusic The diameter and lug to lug are pretty good, but it is a touch on the thick side though. The branding is a bit odd, but when you explain it, it kind of makes sense then.

[@freepeacesweet.7547]

Mechanical Exploration.

[@HonestWatchReviewsHWR]

@@freepeacesweet.7547 Yeah, you're right.

[@bernardbarroga1497]

It’s like a Hybrid cars.🚘 😅😂

[@HonestWatchReviewsHWR]

@@bernardbarroga1497 Yeah I guess it is 😆

[@PINKFL0YD-s2h]

It's a homage of the belt

[@HonestWatchReviewsHWR]

@@PINKFL0YD-s2h I can't tell if this is a joke, or you're being serious...

[@chrishiggs5313]

Its mechanical exploration. Will order one soon. Its cracking

[@HonestWatchReviewsHWR]

@@chrishiggs5313 You're right, I got that wrong. Which one are you going to go for then?

[@bitterboar]

Cool watch. Horrible name.

[@HonestWatchReviewsHWR]

@@bitterboar Once you know the meaning behind it that helps though doesn't it?

[@bitterboar]

@@HonestWatchReviewsHWR well, not really. Lol It’s still hard to say. If it was me I would have named it Mechanical Experience and just made ME the logo. 🤷‍♂️

[@HonestWatchReviewsHWR]

@@bitterboar That could have worked too. I'd just drop the 'P' and call it MECEX

[@TomasWatchReviews]

cool intro

[@HonestWatchReviewsHWR]

Thanks very much. I'm glad you liked it. What do you think of the watch then?

[@TomasWatchReviews]

@@HonestWatchReviewsHWR I am more into small classic vintage style things :)

[@HonestWatchReviewsHWR]

This is slightly different to that then 😆
