My first big watch purchase is in 3 days and it's going to be the black Bay 36 mm blue dial, hope I've made a good choice...... being a 24 year old uni student 4,000 Australian dollars is a lot of money and its not a watch I would want to wear ever day for that reason. so as an everyday watch I can see the blue dial Traska making a perfect option for something I don't have to be as mindful of when it's on my wrist and something I can throw straps on all the time and not have to worry about.

Great piece overall. I have found when a bracelet has polished center links on an oyster type, I’m less inclined to purchase that watch. Those center links are a large canvas for scratches. Jubilee style bracelet partially alleviates that sends the center link is broken up into multiple components. Nothing is worse than scratched polished surfaces on a bracelet.

When trying on a watch, I'm always surprised by how the thickness, lug length, and lug curvature can affect how it lays on the wrist and can really make or break whether it feels good on the wrist. It's a combination of things, however, as some 13mm thick watches are unwearable to me and others feel fantastic!

Bought Sumiteer V2 since I loved the design and also Teddy gave a good review overall about the V1 watch. Hard to comment if Teddy is biased in the review or their build quality has dropped in V2 release. What I like: Design Box crystal looks great Curved case Surprisingly light Comfortable on the wrist Cons: AR coating is poor Bracelet is noisy The click on the clasp is unpleasant and cheap sounding Bracelet buckle doesn't feel like it's milled but like it's pressed from a thick sheet metal Lume is okay-ish Overall finish is average If usually buying microbrand watch you may feel like you are getting a bargain for the price , with Sumiteer V2 it seems more like - you get what you pay for. It's okay - but I had my hopes higher.

I have a suggestion for a new video. You always talk about quality watches such as Orient, Seiko, Omega.. Also, you talk sometimes about bad fashion watches such as MVMT and DW. But you (and all other KZbinrs that do watch commentaries) do not talk anything about Fossil Watches. Here in Europe, I do not see much advertisement for Fossil watches but almost everyone (including me) had one Fossile watch as a first watch ( Thanks to your videos, I am an Orient fan now :) )I think they are not extremely good but decent, and a bit overpriced fashion watches. So my suggestion for the next video is: Top 10 fashion watches.

All watches over a certain price, no idea what price, should have an adjustment like glidelock. I find I wear my sub more than anything else helped by that function as I adjust it during the day. If I am out I wear it slightly tighter, at home I wear it loose and of course adjust for temperature changes. For example I like the BB 38 as much as the sub but don't wear it as often because it does not have that functionality.

Hi Teddy, love your channel and the content. I have backed this on KS after seeing yours and a couple of other reviews. In respect of the 'must have' specs for a watch; aside from the obvious (sapphire crystal, hacking-hand wind etc) there are a couple of things I look for. 1) Micro-adjusts on bracelets - my wrist is an intermediate size/shape (a little over 7") and prone to swelling - so the more micro adjust on the bracelet the better. 2) As my eyes get older and I'm a little colour-blind, the ease of reading of a dial is really important to me.Again, great job with the channel and hope you are well.

For me, it's the bracelet quality. If I'm buying a watch with a steel bracelet I need to know the quality of it. I compare everything to my Christopher Ward Trident Pro 600 because it's the nice steel bracelet I've handled (even against watches 5x it's price) besides the Rolex Oystersteel. I've seen reviews where it's mentioned the bracelet feels nice and then after seeing it myself thought it actually felt cheap.

Hello brother. Thank you for all your reviews. I've always liked watches, and your videos are helping me expand my horizons so to speak. I am always looking for good budget watches, typically (not always..) in a minimalist (mostly diver or field) style. I am a big guy and heavy as well. That being said, would you be interested in doing a video concentrating on large budget watches? The closer to a 50mm+ case, the better. I'd have to say the smallest watch size that really looks and feels right is around 45mm. My mother always told me it never hurts to ask, so I'm asking. Thank you again brother, I hope you have a great weekend. Mike P. WhorizonEarth

@lolroflkartoffel123 I disagree with your thoughts on many levels. You put way too much emphasis on status and brand-recognition. 99.9% of people you'll interact with won't even notice the watch brand, and only few will notice if they think your watch looks nice. And even if someone does notice you're wearing a Rolex, you think all reactions will be positive? Absolutely not. No, you buy a watch mostly for yourself. And you're basically saying that anybody buying anything between the $100 and a Rolex has no self-respect and is lying to themselves? You're being ridiculous, and also rude. If you want to spend thousands extra because it says Rolex on the dial and you think that recognisability is everything, have at it. But don't talk this rude nonsense. You sound like an absolute tool.
