Cadisen C8220G Full review why didn't seiko make this siz

[@timault9420]

Just picked one up for $62. Thank you for your reviews and your comments on Reddit!

[@EscapeWheel]

Wow, nice pickup! You are very welcome....enjoy the watch once it arrives!

[@mrdbmckenna]

24 seconds in, "what"?

[@EscapeWheel]

Lol. Woops. I actually said "Hot" that's my metal generator box, which had been baking in the Florida sun for a good couple hours and it was Hot AF. Just missed deleting the audio for that clip 🤦🤦🤣

[@mrdbmckenna]

​@@EscapeWheelCould have been a lot worse. 🤣

[@EscapeWheel]

@@mrdbmckenna I stayed pretty cool...but it was a tough 7 seconds 🤣

[@GunGuy258]

I need that Orange dial.

[@adk7962]

Again, I am willing to pay more for some better specs and finishing, but there are a lot of people who cannot or will not pay more. Thanks as always for the great review. Looking forward to your content on the upcoming sale. I think it’s going to be pretty insane. Thanks!

[@brianmsahin]

Excellent review. I do have a blue Seiko 5, 42mm and it's just about right though heading for small on my 8.1" wrist. This would be too small for me but is definitely a good size for most people. Your question is valid, why don't Seiko make a 40mm?! Maybe the short lug to lug makes most people, even those with slimmer wrists happy enough. Maybe it's better they didn't, people can take advantage of the Cadisen at a great price. The play in the bezel is tiny, not an issue. The dial is very well done. "Automatic" is copying the Seiko font very closely.The hands are a little rougher on the edges than my Seiko but who looks that closely ! I am happy to report mine does line up by the way but I bought it at an AD so was able to check it personally before handing over the money. The lume though, it might be ok , but with the markers disappearing you'll never get that on a Seiko. However for $100 with sapphire it's great value.

[@a0r0a7]

Wow, that Wise is beautiful. Cadisen offer alot for the money.

[@Bristol1]

Good looking watch, I like this size change. Thanks for the review

[@EscapeWheel]

Same here...thanks for watching 🤜🤛

[@tohian]

Definitely getting one of these. Thanks for the review! 🙏

[@TheJoel1892]

I wonder how moddable it is? Dial and bezel insert mainly...

[@BridgeIsSky]

I'm exactly 6.5inch should I not buy it? I don't like it thight but definetly not loose either

[@EscapeWheel]

You'll be fine. 👍

[@BridgeIsSky]

@@EscapeWheel I just read a comment about a guy having 6.5inch and could not adjust it properly. I also have another Cadisen which is even smaller in size, and happened the same. I guess it's something they should change ASAP, since I don't like wearing watches on straps. About the review GREAT as usual. And please you deserve more views / likes. I love this video formats they are really usefull, I think you should keep this format but also add "Top 5" or "top 10" videos since you have reviewd so many watches. Something like "Top 5 best divers", Top 5 smallest ali watches, etc and pack them in smaller videos and a link to the review. Please consider and thanks again

[@EscapeWheel]

@@BridgeIsSky great idea....I'll have to think about it for sure.

[@kevinwagner9934]

Love your style of review and the $ conversion chart is really appreciated. Thanks Steve, keep the content coming. I hope to use your affiliate links for future purchases. 👍🏻🇨🇦

[@EscapeWheel]

Appreciate it man. Glad to know that price conversion chart is helpful to someone 😂👍

[@som4nova]

Hi, what is the perimeter of this watch if we remove all the removable links from the watch strap? Will it fit on 6.2 inch wrist?

[@EscapeWheel]

@@som4nova it will be close. I have 4 more links to remove, so 6.2 will be close

[@jorgeolguingarcia]

Good review. I have seen videos for the orange and blue, but don't remember watching one for this green. Looks really good. I'm considering it. Thanks!!

[@EscapeWheel]

Thank you. I reallylike his shade of green. Pops nicely

[@rumcajs009]

Picked it up for 40$ orange first, and a month later a black one for the same price.

[@EscapeWheel]

@@rumcajs009 just nutty for the price. Enjoy them!

[@wtechdude]

The chapter ring misalignment maybe is intentional. 😂 After all, it makes the homage more authentic.

[@EscapeWheel]

This is true 🤣

[@siki6176]

Bezel insert dimensions?

[@bulentcetin2551]

Turuncusunu aldım 17cm bileğimde çok güzel duruyor

[@BosworthMcG]

The black one is cool

[@SergeiVnv]

Yeah, I have it.. very accurate.. perfect 👍💪

[@EscapeWheel]

Agreed, looks badass

[@SergeiVnv]

I have a pvd black version.. i should say it's very very accurate.. no adjustment required during three month already, just once date changing Feb/Mar. One may think it either radio/atomic or quartz watch. perfect with FKM strap

[@anthonydevono8833]

Nice selection to start with hopefully more colours added later the cyclops is no for me but the quality looks like it is there I’ve got one cadisen and it is great on the QC

[@stevenmccarthy112]

Looks like a good deal. I would like to see a homage to the "dress" KX.

[@JowcoI]

The seiko SRPK is 38mm and the SRPD is 42mm, what are you talking about ?

[@EscapeWheel]

This slots right between at 40mm. 38 is too small for me, 42 felt too big. It's just personal preference though.

[@iktidersomhan]

I recently got the blue one And this is absolutely sick. The only con I found was that the crown was a bit tough to handle due to the long crown guards.without that it is perfect

[@EscapeWheel]

For sure the biggest drawback of the watch

[@magstheonlyone]

I bought that same color last year on 11.11 for 40 USD, and as soon as it arrived I sold it to a friend who fell in love with it. Such a great size and color, but the crown was a bit odd to operate. Great review

[@EscapeWheel]

Thank you. $40 is an incredible deal for this thing.

[@GuySasha2022]

Looks best on mesh.

[@keving4408]

Thorough and informative review as always. Thank you for it. While this watch is solid from a spec standpoint, I have no idea why one would opt for this over the Seiko 5 Sports watch that it copies. The Seiko is perfectly affordable.

[@EscapeWheel]

Still at LEAST double the price. Plus you get sapphire, and I do think the size is a big selling point. No doubt the 5KX is a decent value, though...it's just big enough that I don't enjoy it after a couple days on wrist. This one is much more manageable

[@keving4408]

@@EscapeWheel Fair points, though the 5KX now comes in 38mm (I believe). And the Seiko might be more expensive, but would also be much easier to sell should you wish to do so at some point.

[@turradi1126]

Really cute little watch. Thanks for the review.

[@EscapeWheel]

you are welcome. and thanks watching.

[@dunderhay9169]

Great review 👍. They got the perfect dimensions and made a really good watch for the money, but the issues add up. The bezel action and no lume pip, the misaligned chapter ring, annoying Rolex style case back, unnecessary cyclops and worst the awkward crown.....

[@Shadowmoon71]

Pretty much all of them straps was ugly 😕

[@EscapeWheel]

Lol, the green is tough to match well.

[@Uchoobdood]

@@EscapeWheel I thought the straps all looked great!
