A very solid effort from a new brand, but then again, when the boss already has 5 years making micros under his belt, is it a surprise? The 'Bang For Buck' is unquestionably there, and the watch has plenty of neat touches, and insane lume. I wonder if they will lose sales by not offering a 'plain dial'? Tell me what yo think! Cheers, Jody

[@mikesmith5389]

Everytime I hear yet another batch of these micro brand watches has a Seiko NH35 the first reaction is 'Oh no not ANOTHER one' and the next reaction is 'Yeah but what else is there that's as good?'. Love it or loathe it, the NH35 makes owning budget watches a pleasure rather than a pain and must be included in 'The best movements of all time' category.

[@richardbriscoe8563]

For the life of me I can not understand why the Miyota movements, which are supposedly a step up from the NH35, do not have bidirectional winding, particularly when the number one complaint about them is that they are noisy when the weight freewheels.

[@zerox615]

@@richardbriscoe8563 I don't know what people are complaining about miyota being noisy. I don't even notice it when doing everyday activity. People who complained about the noise are probably masterbating with the watch on.

[@richardbriscoe8563]

@@zerox615 Numerous reviews both on KZbin and elsewhere comment about the noise associated with the freewheeling weight, “spinning” in their description, because of it only winding in one direction. Not winding bidirectionally also reduced the efficiency of the movement compared to those which wind bidirectionally. Some people making comments on these reviews say theirs isn’t that bad.

[@marksaxby607]

Totally agree - The NH3* series is a cracking movement - No, it's not beautiful to behold, but it's remarkably accurate - Better than the supposedly superior Seiko movements I have in their own watches! Ultimately, for me, cost and performance, rather than on-paper specs, wins!

[@thehorologychannel]

So true! I am happy to know that there is the same movement in my 60-dollar Pagani design (not a microband, but still) as in my Seiko 5KX. What is interesting - it's even more accurate (6 sec vs 8 sec a day). After some years I can throw it away, I can service it, I can leave it for details, I can simply order another new NH movent. And this is possible because it is so reliable, affordable and widely spread

I have read some other comments and I'm not a diver guy either. I'd rather a 12h bezel like on my hamtun kraken meteorite titanium 12h. Since buying a hamilton interstellar daydate white dial 42mm, I realised I didn't like bezels at all, including 24h gmt I. have made an exception here though and will be the only diver in my collection. I think it could be that a black bezel makes the dial look smaller, such as the psychological reason for painting your house rooms white when selling it. Taking this into account, I'm hoping the abalone dial 42mm blue dial will have a lot of realestate.

[@henryettoit897]

they are very safe and always sell like hotcakes, microbrands need the funds, so [ just another nh35 diver ] is the easy route.

[@stratonwatchco]

@@henryettoit897 exactly that - its a business decision. No matter what one does there will always be people who do not like it. I put out there retro designs with Straton Watch Co. which are very polarizing and risky in terms of design but I do it because I love it. Why did I create Signum? Because the market loves divers especially “generic” designs, they simply sell, however as Jody pointed out its the dial materials that are a focus here, we are the first commercial brand to do a heat treated meteorite dial, and I will put more emphasis on exotic dial materials with the next release, a bronze diver with labradorite dials, forged carbon infused with lume dials, heat meteorite dials, green copper turquoise dials. Creating Signum was a business decision because dive watches are the largest and most popular watch segment, Straton is very niche and through the success of Signum I want to push Straton even further. Having two successful brands is better than just one :)

@@stratonwatchco and those dial materials receive nothing but hardy 'thumbs up' from anyone who has received and seen them in person (including me), so mission accomplished!

Similarly to Straton I love the branding. Just a small logo and the confidence that the watch speaks for itself without whacking some ridiculous text or a bloke-from-down-the-pub's name on it. Very tempting, I must say. Great review!

Apparently they had some QC issues with the abalone dials, and kudos to doing the work and checking them before shipping them. I like that he avoided both the SKX and the Mercedes handsets. I am still waiting on my Abalone 40mm no-date, and am really looking forward to it. I wish that Kyle was a bit more proactive about the communication on order status, and I have had to reach out twice to get updates, when I was told I would get a tracking number a couple weeks ago.

[@stratonwatchco]

Hi John, I have responded to your emails :) I did send out more texts to customers waiting as well but some never received them. TBH it was not anticipated some dials did not make the cut but its being sorted and everyday we are assembling and shipping. It was mostly abalone and meteorite dials. Only about 10% of the over 450 orders are remaining to be sent. Thanks for the support! 🙏 Regards Kyle

[@kevingilhooley2064]

John,I had exactly the same experience as you only I ordered the 44 and date for my son who is a volunteer doctor in Thailand,it was for his birthday and unfortunately that date has passed and no watch obviously.I got an SMS on 16th October saying the watch would be packed and shipped within a week , but after not seeing anything I contacted Kyle who stated they had quality issues with the dials,I was offered a cancellation which was a bit disapointing but decided against it as I knew my son would be gassed with the abalone dial...looks like I will be saving this as a Christmas present instead for my son who is a keen diver,Hope you get yours soon.

[@JohnClarkW]

@@kevingilhooley2064 sorry to hear that. I think Kyle is a great guy, but he just needs to be the one to initiate the customer discussions. I would rather get it right than fast, but if it is going to be delayed and the date is open ended, a weekly update seems like a good idea. I also wish he would send me email, instead of SMS, it is easier to search, tag, organize, etc. I ordered it within the first 5 minutes they were available, and there are tons of people who got the watch already. I am in a FB group for microbrand collectors, and I have seen people posting pictures of the exact watch I ordered, for the last two weeks, which just makes it worse. This was also my replacement watch for the Helm Khuraburi that I have given up on. I tried ordering that the last 6 times they were available, and never managed to get one. Last time 6 seconds wasn't fast enough, and I am done with Helm now. I know Jody loves Helm, he has clearly never tried to order one.

[@kevingilhooley2064]

John,I agree that Kyle is a good guy and I'm certain he is doing his best to get a good quality timepiece to all of his customers.The coincidental thing is i also tried to order the Helm Khuraburi and gave up after many failed attempts.I don't like the way Helm operates and it would maybe do them some good if people did not buy their watches until they change their modus operandi.....it stinks.

Quick tech tip: if you use Polywatch to take scratches out of plastic watch crystals, another type is cheaper and works as well. Mothers Mag & Aluminum Polish for autos works on metal, as well as on headlight lenses and plastic watch crystals. A 5 oz. container will last a lifetime. I was travelling, scratched up my Casio MRW-200H, only had Mothers, tried it, and it took out all scratches perfectly.
