[@victormeyer4282]

I am wayching a lot of watch review, wanted to say the quality of your video is stunning ! Thank you for the quality and effort you put in 🙏🏻 Went for the quartz option yesterday in super early birds

[@walkaroundwatches]

Thank you so much. That means a lot to me 💜 I think you'll be really happy with the quartz. Glad you got on the super early bird 😊🐦

[@imranhusain1657]

It’s really nice accompanied by this super presentation! Very tempted.

[@walkaroundwatches]

Go for it 😂😂 thanks for watching 🧡

[@Sophie-ji3wi]

Awesome production as always! Love the colour and the Chevron effect 😍💜

[@walkaroundwatches]

Thanks S ☺️☺️

[@mattpyfer3296]

Really enjoyed your review! You give a great sense of what the watch will be like to wear.

[@walkaroundwatches]

Thanks for your kind words 😊 Glad you enjoyed my vid 💜

[@Sustainable_Me]

Nice video, as always!

[@walkaroundwatches]

Thank you 🫶🏽💜

I was going back and forth between the quartz and mechanical, but this video helped me decide that the quartz is absolutely for me. Love this watch. Might even go for the purple dial.

[@walkaroundwatches]

Nice one! I think that's a great choice! Also for the colour too! I don't think you'll be disappointed ☺️ So glad this video helped 💜

[@WatchWitt]

Great looking dial! I like that they went with a wide bracelet (relative to the case) to balance out the proportions.

[@walkaroundwatches]

Me too. Would never have considered this sized watch based on dimensions alone and was surprised as to well it fit. That bracelet width definitely helped 💜

[@Sphere.Squared]

Nailed the review ❤

[@walkaroundwatches]

Thanks 😁

[@cunawarit]

This is one of the nicest micro brand watches recently! I love that they gave us a quartz option which to me is more in keeping with this kind of watch which harkens back to an era when quartz was rightly seen as the superior movement. I love it!!!!

[@walkaroundwatches]

Couldn't agree more mate. Also, no seconds hand on either quartz or the automatic so may aswell go for the quartz, save some cash and have yourself a brilliant grab and go!

[@asiantimepieces]

Oh wow it looks awesome, 100% Genta on earlier AP and VC models. Great specs… it goes to my wish list right now 👌🏼👌🏼

[@walkaroundwatches]

Nice one mate! Launches on Tuesday so if you do back it get on that EB 🫶🏽

[@mr.eswatchreviews]

Agreed 💯

[@conzmoleman]

10:35 they have added a butterfly bracelet option

[@walkaroundwatches]

Yes they have and I, for one, am really pleased 😊😊

[@bluecollarwatches7048]

That purple dial really pops in the sunlight.

[@walkaroundwatches]

Really does mate (on the rare occasions we get sun in the UK!) 💜

[@wallyofjericho]

I was in the original kickstarter and will be again as soon as it re launches. Can’t wait

[@walkaroundwatches]

Nice one! You going for a quartz or a mechanical? 💜

[@wallyofjericho]

@@walkaroundwatches I’m still on the fence but I think quartz at the moment

[@walkaroundwatches]

@@wallyofjericho good choice ☺️

[@ashleym4019]

Thanks for the video! Nice watch and nice place in Manchester!❤️

[@walkaroundwatches]

My pleasure 😊 Thanks for watching 💜

[@iViperful]

Am I able to buy any of these? Sold out until september on website

[@walkaroundwatches]

Hi mate. If they are sold out I'd contact the guys at Benjamin James directly via their Instagram. They're very responsive and may be able to let you know when more are in stock ☺️

[@jackandrews8048]

Just my cup of tea this. Love a lot about it, the size, the choice of colours (love the royal purple), the design however I’d avoid the quartz

[@walkaroundwatches]

Cheers mate. Yeah I'd go mechanical too 💜

[@channelartstudio1217]

What a beautiful watch, nice review. How did you find Manchester?

[@walkaroundwatches]

It really is 💜 Manchester was nice. Prefer Leeds though 😂😂

[@nayim1273]

This purple is the standout pick of what is available. Apart from the orange which is nice too the rest is ok Thanks for the review

[@walkaroundwatches]

Ooooo that orange pops too 🧡

[@Theoddoneout666]

Been keeping an eye on this. Nice to see a decent review on it. Might be a bit small for me but looks OK on your wrist actually....

[@walkaroundwatches]

Nice one mate. I was surprised how well it fit. Didn't ever expect a 31mm diameter watch to sit nicely on my wrists 💜

[@watchsixto]

Nice little watch, it definitely can be a great alternative to a Cartier tank

[@walkaroundwatches]

Defs mate! Same specs too as the XL Carter Tank 💜

[@Davidbrent1966]

For a 32mmx40mm it looks like it sits really well on your wrist pal. It doesn't look like a petite watch. Nice dial and crisp colour 👍🏽

[@walkaroundwatches]

Thanks mate. Yeah I was surprised as to how well it fit 💜

[@jjstrickland9536]

The Sellita version should have a seconds hand 👍🏻

[@walkaroundwatches]

I agree wholeheartedly 💜

[@sage9743]

I like this watch but will pass for this reason. The Maen Manhattan 37 would be my preferred option at this time.

[@walkaroundwatches]

Great shout on the Maen. I agree it's a shame this didn't have a seconds hand 💜

[@jjstrickland9536]

@@sage9743I’m unaware of that watch. I’ll have a look thanks

[@mr.eswatchreviews]

I really like the dial makes me want a green and purple suit and a vigilante bat to fight 😂

[@walkaroundwatches]

😂 Weirdly enough, same here 😱💜

[@mr.eswatchreviews]

@@walkaroundwatches yeah my first impression as soon as I saw it was oh that looks like a watch The joker would wear and of course I like the old saying goes growing up you want to be Batman but once you're grown The joker actually makes more sense

[@walkaroundwatches]

😂 Basically when you're a kid you love the hero but when you're all grown up you wanna be the bad guy?

[@mr.eswatchreviews]

@@walkaroundwatches not exactly you have to listen to what the joker says a lot of the times it's actually although cruel but extremely accurate to how life really is then there's other times it's just crazy for the sake of being crazy put the joker does have some very profound lines

[@walkaroundwatches]

@mr.eswatchreviews ahh I get you. I'll have to listen to what he says. Similarly, I think the same of Thanos. Complete menace but there's a charm to him I like (murdering aside)

[@Christophe-k8s]

Hello and thanks for this video. I don't mind about square shape, got one. And I'm really into dress watches, got more than one. Plus, I have some kind of passion for microbrands. And I also really liked your vid. But this scarifour model really didn't do anything special in me. Perhaps have I seen too many micro brands watches at this time ... 😮

[@walkaroundwatches]

Cheers buddy 💜 That's fair enough mate, though I think I've seen too many microbrands too recently. Might need to get me a Casio next just balance things out 😱💜

[@Christophe-k8s]

@@walkaroundwatches Really? I thought exactly the same thing few days before! "What about some Casio or G-Shock now?" 😂😂

[@walkaroundwatches]

@user-ke6xt1yl1l oooooo I quite fancy a G-Shock 😂

[@joeykeel2117]

On the fence with this, but hope they do well 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

[@walkaroundwatches]

Me too 🇬🇧💜

[@micaljimenez7381]

Nice square and colored watch,i think big size is a mode who wil, pass one day,years ago any dress watch were in 33mm or 34mm,and looks great and normal,in fact 41mm is too big,just for easily scratch your watch,and now your attack if you wear a luxury watch ,big size to be a bad idea and its better to come back to more discretional watch..

[@walkaroundwatches]

Cheers mate. You're totally right and I agree... I think we all go on a journey whereby as you get older you wear smaller watches. Five years ago I'd never wear a 40mm or below but here I am donning a 31mm and I quite like it 💜

[@micaljimenez7381]

@@walkaroundwatches exact,i have before a santos 33mm,also a nice chaumet in gold 33mm to and now i own a rolex air king 34mm so perfect size and would like perhaps to buy or a pasha 35mm because the price is the more afordable in chrono24 or a bulgari 33mm...its the momeNt to buy little size because everybody want big,its incredible to see a rolex day date 36mm for 17000euros when customer fight for new 41mm and pay 45000 for this,insane and ridiculous...i am just sad because your nice watch are under waitlist,,,just like rolex.gasp

[@rwyo83]

Beautiful watch, the size doesn't look bad on your wrist. I want to buy the same purple watch in quartz. "The best part is no part"~Elon Musk

[@walkaroundwatches]

Thanks! It definitely wears bigger considering it's a petite watch. And definitely go fo quartz... easy pick up and go!

@@walkaroundwatches I live in Ecuador, do you know if they will ship worldwide?

[@walkaroundwatches]

@rwyo83 hi, I'm pretty sure that they do ship worldwide ☺️

[@inspectorchicken]

It's beautiful, but I'm afraid the quality is not that impressive. Even in the videos and pictures, it shows rough edges and manufacturing imperfections. Clasp looks bad, too chunky and huge gaps. I think it's a fun watch and an amazing dresser, but due to its lower end quality and specs probably not an everyday dresser. Sadly no alternative to one of the expensive squares like the tank or santos.

[@walkaroundwatches]

Fair comment. Can't say I disagree entirely. The move to the butterfly clasp on the classic helps as, you're right, this clasp was just too bulky for such a petite frame
