Emporio Armani Renato AR2434 Mens Chronograph Watch Review - Watches Up Close & Personal

[@Heizzer47]

I bought this as my first watch and I’m glad I came across this video as I had no idea what to do with the dials and what they meant

[@geekanoids]

Glad it helped 🤓👍🏻

My elder brother gave me this beautiful watch as a birthday present last week. He bought it from the United States. A little heavy on the wrist but great to wear.

[@geekanoids]

Congrats on your new watch.

[@dan01S]

I have this one and my wrist is only 6.4inches and it fits pretty well. I like them a bit bigger that way they cover more of my slim wrist. But its not too big it does not look weird at all everybody hur compliments me on it and wants to wear it themselves

[@geekanoids]

Nice choice. Congrats.

[@parthjgarchitectvastuconsu9303]

Ironically I bought the same watch 7 years ago, and still iam wearing it. After seeing this video my love for my watch increased. Yeah it's not that shiny n polished as in d video cause I am wearing it for d last 7 years straight in all weather. And it is still running.. I love you emperio Armani

I bought one used today and will let it get adapted to my wrist tomorrow. Until now it seems very good, nice quality feels solid. Only bad point is the stopwatch that doesn't reset to 0 anymore, it stays at 2 seconds( I'll get that fixed as well)... Pays 70 bucks, I think that's a good price

[@geekanoids]

Sorry I no longer have this to check.

[@georgiospapailia8588]

Yes thats normal. The seconds and minutes timers are used to measure the time after you press the A button, sort of like a stopwatch. The hours are there to show whether it is pm or am and is not related to the other two.

Umm you just set the date when the hour hand was in between 10pm and 2am That could damage the mechanism inside They suggest changing the date out of that period of time

This is true, but the time was between the pm setting so was safe to do in this case.

El reloj no está mal, reconozco que lo adquirí en un momento en el que no sabía bien lo que estaba comprando. Lo volvería a comprar? no, hay mejores opciones por el precio por ejemplo un Orient Mako por el mismo precio. De nuevo, no es un mal reloj, el movimiento de cuarzo Miyota VD530 es bueno pero es relativamente un movimiento muy barato, pero como pasa incluso en los automáticos, terminas comprando una caja bonita con un movimiento muy barato. Aparte del hecho de ser de cuarzo está que las manecillas no están alineadas, vaya es cosa de meterle mano y alinearlas pero esperarías que al menos vinieran bien alineadas. Lo otro es que se deprecia mucho, si lo quiero vender, te ofrecen a lo mucho la mitad de lo que te ha costado, si bien te va. En su favor puedo decir que la caja de acero esta bien elaborada al igual que el armis que se siente muy cómodo y fácil de quitar. Los acabados están bien entre cepillado y pulido pero debo decir que se rayan muy fácilmente. En conclusión luce bien, aunque la caja y el armis están bien, el movimiento barato de 10 dólares no justifica el precio. También sería de ayuda al comprador que incluyeran la información adecuada del modelo de mecanismo de cuarzo. (miyota VD530)
