[@WatchWitt]

@@rotweilerscholar1181 It's awesome! Red leather on the top side, FKM rubber on the underside. Best of both worlds! I got it from Juelong on AliExpress.

I’ve been seeing this watch pop up lately and it really does seem like a great value. Thanks for the giveaway and please keep up the good work…really enjoy your reviews! Excellent photography and you’ve got the best voice in the business!

[@felo6035]

This new iteration is much nicer than the older ones and an even better value now. Thank you for sharing and for your generous giveaway. Happy Thanksgiving Witt .

[@WatchWitt]

I totally agree! The previous model looked nice, but far from an homage to the clock. The lumed dial sends this one over the top, too! Happy Thanksgiving!

[@deseds]

Pretty decent watch. Just subscribed! Great review! Merry Christmas to all! And good luck!

[@WatchWitt]

It's a nice budget piece. The full lume dial is much cleaner than I thought it would be. Smiles all night long! Ha! Good luck in the giveaway...!

[@piquetuk]

It's super clean & the dot of red lume on the seconds hand just makes me want one more.

[@WatchWitt]

What’s really throwing me off is that red colored lume doesn’t usually have longevity. I wonder if it’s an eye trick if red lume and the green lume dial playing with each other?!

[@jz3433]

Great video as always - you're one of my favorite watch youtubers! I've always enjoyed videos about underappreciated quality Chinese watches, and I'm excited to see how the perception of Chinese watches evolves in the future.

[@WatchWitt]

Wow, thank you! Chinese watches are similar to ones from other countries; there are varying degrees of quality, value, and perfection. They have already made an impressive shift in the market. I think a lot of that is seeing, quietly, the influx of microbrand pieces that use Chinese manufacturers. It has allowed them “sneak” in without an obvious preconceived notion.

[@louis111]

Great watch and love the lume on it. The red strap looks even better on it than the mesh bracelet. I have a quartz mondaine, but now i want one of these. 😊

[@WatchWitt]

The red strap MAKES it! Mesh bracelet is nice, though. For the price, I’ll bet you’ll enjoy it as much as your Mondaine. Around $65 USD with coupons in Black Friday sale.

[@Basman59]

I have a Mondaine navy quartz this is a step up how can it be so cheap. Wonder if there is AR on the sapphire front side.

[@WatchWitt]

I don't believe there is any AR, but I found legibility to be great in all conditions.

[@flyinhawaiian57]

I love the negative timekeeping of a full lume dial. One of my favorite styles.

[@WatchWitt]

Same here! Impressed with how clean the luminescence is…

[@darrenjones2070]

Love the watch. Never heardcof Berny watches but definitely a good looking watch. Oh and that lume that is crazy lume love the lollipop seconds hand that glows that's the cherry on top. Thanks for the video great content.

I think its a great watch the thickness gives it that 🔥 kick... The dial is easy t see and reminds me of london or somewhere over seas ...ty for the review wow its stunning and a great timepiece

[@MrDwaynelockett]

The Lume is the star of this watch.

[@WatchWitt]

I think so too! I was surprised at how clean the application is. The trade off is that the dial is not completely white during the daylight, though.

[@takisleras902]

The Lume and the minimal design is making this watch unique

[@WatchWitt]

Yes! Well, the design is credit to the Swiss Railways Clock, but the lume is all Berny!

[@timetowatch_francois]

Hey WatchWitt! I just subscribed, love your format. As for this full Lume version, I’d go for the “pure” white look-n-feel of the Bertucci any day, regardless if it’s not as bright. Thanks for sharing!

[@WatchWitt]

Thanks for the sub! I subscribed to you a while back! My first thought is to agree with you, because I love a pure white dial and the lume on the Bertucci is sufficient for visibility all night. BUT…the STRONG lume on the Berny sucks me in! Haha! LOVE super bright luminescence!

Full lume dial does it for me, such a great looking watch!

[@WatchWitt]

Totally agree! I think the little tinge of green in the daytime os ok for me, since the lume is so impressive.

[@jimg8887]

Really like that watch, nice clean look

[@WatchWitt]

Yes, super clean, minimalistic look...but a touch of boldness from the black handset and indices, and the red seconds hand!

[@luistrujillo6885]

Gives me the vibe of the wenger attitude. But the wenger was pointy and uncomfortable on the lug on my wrist on a daily wear. That berny looks sharp and clean. Great review.

[@WatchWitt]

Love the look of that Wenger too! The Berny is pretty comfortable, even on this mesh bracelet...which is very silky. Good luck in the drawing!

[@BCallum]

Not a great name, but a lot better than some of the other AE brands. This is a great homage/photocopy of the original. Build looks nice!! Thanks for the video.

[@WatchWitt]

Yeah, I’ve always been a little standoffish on the name, but when I saw this watch I decided to look past it. Glad I did! It’s a great watch!

[@grayzischke9182]

Nice looking watch…especially for the money. The red dot 🔴 rocks.

[@WatchWitt]

Definitely a great buy…and yes, the seconds hand rocks! Love it with this red strap I paired with it.

[@ToddsWatchshop]

I was impressed with the overall quality at this price point!

[@GregMilner]

I got one of these last Fall and I really do like it. Shortly after I got the Full Lume Atlas Momentum Automatic and it has even better lume, if you can believe it. But it costs a lot more. Titanium and Miyota 9015, though. Nice review. Thanks.

[@WatchWitt]

That Momentum looks awesome! I'd like to check one of those out. Great looking Field Watch case and dial. Anybody wants to check it out, here's the link: momentumwatch.com/products/atlas-automatic-38mm-white?variant=43651747905760

If they ever make this in 36x44 millimeters with a VH31, titanium case and rubber strap, I'm buying with my eyes closed. Nice stuff!

[@alexi21san]

@@WatchWitt version 3 might get a better movement perhaps ,and a better bracelet.If it’s tweaked correctly it might almost be perfect.

[@WatchWitt]

That’s true. Wonder if they’d consider a 9000 series? Speaking of which, this date window is too small for me, but maybe it’s a good compromise for those that prefer no-date??? I like this bracelet, for what it is.

[@Cuccos19]

I love the design, but: - I hate date watches, ghost date ones equally. - I hate display caseback, good for nothing. - I prefer quartz movement, less hassle with that (Seiko VH31 is a great movement for example). - I prefer at least 100meters of water resistant. Okay, no big deal the 50meters, but better having 100.

[@WatchWitt]

They have a no date quartz version too. www.bernywatch.com/products/berny-men-quartz-railroad-watch-2678m I’m the opposite…love date complications. I’m always looking down at my watch for the date. And if it has day complication too, even better! I’m with you on water resistance, though. 100m is my preferred minimum. I want to confidently take any watch in the water!

[@dead_shot]

I’m going to be honest with you Witt, the name is a bit tough as a sell but the logo and look of the watch screams 1970 Tudor and that’s really neat - the crimson strap definitely makes it though

[@WatchWitt]

Yes, the name has kept me away too! But seeing this watch in person, and as you say a logo improvement, is opening me up to the realized value. I’m glad I checked it out! Anyone who buys this watch needs to find this red strap to go with it! 😂

[@Shri_V]

Looks awesome on the red strap!

[@WatchWitt]

Honestly, I didn't want to give it away after I found the red strap pairing! The mesh is nice, but red ties in so well and very comfortable. This is the new leather (top)/FKM (bottom) strap from Juelong...also on AliExpress.

[@lulul]

looks like a cool casual watch and i bet that dial is something else when you enter a dark space. the problem with community tabs is that new posts don't show up in the subscription tab, so maybe tag the winner in the announcement so there would be some sort of a notification.

[@WatchWitt]

The lume game is strong! Towards the end of the video I have one of those wrist shots where I entered a dark room after being outside. My goal with the Community tab is to make sure people are actually CHECKING to see if they won. Contest entrants should GO to my channel's Community tab on 12/23 to see if they won. Yes, I'll tag if allowed, and probably have a picture of the watch with their username bannered across it. I've skipped doing giveaways lately because of the risk of subscribers getting scammed by impersonators. I hope my announcement of the winner NOT being replied to here will at least help minimize those chances. I'd like to start doing giveaways again. This is a test!

It is a great, timeless, Swiss design. You can buy the original from the Swiss brand Mondaine. I would advise the Chinese producers not to invent watch brand names like Berny and Skmei at all. Stick with an acceptable logo.

Yes, Mondaine is the original homage of the clock. The Chinese brands REALLY should run their proposed names by an English speaking consultant!
