Quartz for the win... of accuracy and reliability!😋

But they don't pop and snap and skip and speed up and aren't 'warm', oh wait, that's another silly hobby

Love the display back! I think it is beautiful. People complaining about quartz watches remind me of all the sundial users who complained that clocks were soulless.

Quartz is King, and I love that caseback, but I’m into digitals and especially ana-digis and I’m so hoping for Erebus to go into that market 👍

[@davidrosenblum2178]

It's a handsome bugger and I love that they put an exhibition caseback on a VK63! A bit derivative of a Dan Henry 1963 (minus the missing date complication) and I think they need to tweak the alignment of the second hand a bit. But after seeing this and your last video I pulled the trigger on an HZ.01. That one just really appeals to me! Cheers!

[@chunkhenderson1878]

Usually not a fan of Chronos but the understated pushers make it work.

[@opotopo1]

Looking forward to the first Erebus quartz watch ...

[@WMIYC]

6:09 I hear this phrase about the moon phase being useless a lot these days. However, I live in a coastal area with nuisance tidal flooding and as a visual creator I occasionally photograph and video the moon. But it does mostly look cool.

[@jeus_saaa]

that display case back is something i actually like! i wish more brands did display case backs of their quartz offerings. imagine being able to see 9f quartz or precisionist movements!

[@jwags24]

I agree! I think it looks almost futuristic.

[@jltrem]

Quartz accuracy, the reason when I finally bought a Submariner homage I got the Addiesdive MY H3, the quartz version. I wanted a daily wearer Subby and wanted the time to be accurate.

[@davekat4680]

Ultra bargain value sub ….👍

[@Horizontalvertigo]

I mean, your phone is still going to be more accurate than that quartz, so does it really matter if you have to reset a mechanical watch every now & then?

[@bboooobbyy]

Love the exhibition caseback! very cool and a bit different

[@xtgt326]

I’ve ordered the black one! Go Aussie watch making!

[@JS-ev4xc]

For that price range, it is good to check out Yema chrono quartz with a strong brand heritage.

[@diogocantuaria7083]

It's almost an UG "Nina Rindt" homage..... Maybe a hybrid with a Heuer Autavia powered by a Valjoux 72!!! A handsome watch!!!

[@RandallSlick]

"Now, do pay attention!" Yes Miss. Promise not to stare out of the window again Miss.

[@johnhanlon6061]

Very nice watch, nice and clean design. I don't understand why quartz gets so much hate, some of my favourites in my collection are my Eco drives.

[@KurisuTravel]

love the cheeky honesty to show off the VK movement at the back! reminds me of the 90s when every cool and geeky tech was made transparent and see thru

[@kyledriscollmusic]

honestly love seeing the movement, just a bit thick for quartz

[@Horizontalvertigo]

The thickness is probably a result of that exhibition back tho

[@kyledriscollmusic]

@@Horizontalvertigo partially for sure

[@jwags24]

What an insane value ! This is the quality of watch I wish Dan Henry would move into. The excellent lume, sapphire crystal, sapphire caseback, titanium. This thing is awesome!

[@mikebutler3846]

One of my favorite brands is Sector from the ‘90s. Swiss made with Swiss quartz movements. Have eight in my collection. Most of my collection is mechanical movements though. I like this watch Jody…not crazy about the exhibition back though.

[@ijrm37]

I just put an order in. Love to support Aussie watchmaking.

[@grant703]

Don't want another chrono, but love the design language of this watch. Display caseback is a genius idea, quartz is great why not show it off. Always loved the Bulova Accutron. Be keeping an eye on HZ. Thanks for another good review.

[@turbyoulance]

The green one that you bought reminds me if a Speedo dial from a 1950 60's car from Britain and I do like it.

[@ChrisAndrusiak]

Went with the blue, excited to see it in person!

[@brianmurphy8154]

Love quartz. I do think that chronos need to be at least 39mm since there is so much happening on the dial. But that’s just me…love seeing love for quartz!

[@rewolf1972]

If just this 24hrs indicator wasnt there. Its so useless, exept you are working in a submarine

[@victorutomo7244]

I think it is helpfull to set the watch. That we rarely do with quartz watch. 😅 Yeah, it is rather useless in this case.

[@G-rig6969]

Handy for am-pm but that's about all. It would mean going to a different movement though (most likely more expensive) and let's face it, almost nobody will be timing anything. Date would be useful.

[@Jelloc]

But you'd have to consider people who live in accomodations without any windows, and who are also unable/prohibited from going outside to see what time of the day it is

[@justincooper7015]

I agree, but honestly how often do you even use a stopwatch? I really like the design, that's why I'd buy it. Great looking watch.

[@Robban.D.Jonsson.]

Clearly you haven't thought of blind insomniacs who can't tell if it's day or night.

[@67nearmint]

The steel/titanium bracelet gives me some concerns about bi-metallic corrosion, since the two metals have different electrical potentials, some electron traveling between the two could result in some crud developing over time.

[@Jelloc]

Nah I don't think physics/chemistry laws apply when it comes to watches

[@hockingham7160]

You're not bathing in salt water long enough to have electrolysis issues

[@67nearmint]

@@hockingham7160 Sweat is pretty salty, so I don't know. Presumably they've r&d'd that kind of stuff, but who knows.

[@67nearmint]

@@Jelloc Physics laws are the whole reason watches work in the first place.😂

[@learndesignwithdev]

You are not wrong. My Sisters watch has salt deposit near lugs due to sweat. Now What I do to protect mine is wipe with cotton cloth dipped in water after wearing. And also lightly polish it with cream to have a layer on the watch.

[@gumbochop]

Looks like alot of watch for a great price! Glad to see something new and different in the space and not shying away from quartz.

[@xgford94]

I own a HZ01, love the Quartz … but I can’t get past the hours bezel on a Chrono ( just my taste though)

[@philiproberts1473]

Nice watch and good to see a chrono in this size but only 5 min markers on the 60 min counter makes it useless as a chrono unfortunately.

[@jeptime657]

This is so true

[@thetattedpharmacist3215]

Looks great! Now I’ve seen your review I’m happy I ordered the reverse panda you showed here😊

[@RenghisKhan]

😂 Very original! LOVE the exhibition case back showing the battery. Too small for my wrist but I'm sure there are some slimmer wristed people who will appreciate it to bits. 👍

[@wingi7722]

Get rid of the silly 24hr sub dial and replace it with a 12 hour counter. And please give me a magnifying glass to read the watch. Other than that it's a nice looker

[@thesolver1970]

what off the shelf quartz movement does that with that sub register arrangement?

[@rob.halpin]

There's an opportunity to fancy up the internals of a VK movement. So much color and finish could be added to various parts. Think they could look super under a glass back. Wonder if they chose a smaller-than-average case size so the movement would fill out that window?

[@adk7962]

I think it’s awesome. 37 does seem a weeee bit small though. It would have been perfect at 39. I definitely need to get a hold of their field watch though… thanks for the great preview and review!

[@G-rig6969]

Very nice attractive design from a newcomer, would be a great daily wear. Not muxh to complain about, agree about the proportions. A 38-39 may be better and seems too thick. More taper in bracelet would be nice and VK63 has a date so it must have a ghost position. Would be useful but 37mm probably too small to include it.

[@sealofthesea5233]

Love vintage sized chronos, could do without a millimeter of thickness though

[@Dialandhands]

I will say, the clasp integration is fantastic for the price!! I’m really turned off by a lot of watches with tool-less micro adjust because of how bad the gaps on both sides of the clasp. This watch makes it seem like other micro brands are just lazy with the integration. One that comes to mind is the Tuseno dive watch. I would’ve bought the white dial but the clasp just doesn’t sit flush to the bracelet.

[@engineering_guy]

Jodyy..time for a JDM beauty next :). Specifically the lineage line LIW M700D. You won't regret itt..its supposed to be a bestseller in Japan. I think its the most feature packed value watch ever made..that is not digital..

[@mercster]

Hah, I like it! Display case back on quartz, nice! 😏

[@AnyoxB.D.]

Live the exhibition Caseback on a quartz! Might have been better to use a Miyota 6s20 that has the 1/10th seconds subdial instead of 24 hour subdial, and still has smooth sweep, but overall cool looking watch.

[@aaronlouviere5797]

Like these watches a lot 👍 They would have been an instant buy if they were solar also.

[@AdAce21]

I'm a real sucker for reverse panda chronos. Love the sizing and that bracelet is awesome. But that 24 hour subdial.... ugh. The price seems really fair though!

[@sinesaii]

I love quartz.

[@JoseAntonio-yq4oj]

As a relatively new watch collector, at first I bought a bunch of mechanical watches, which I love and get the ´romantic´ aspect of them, but as a busy office person who doesn´t really have space for a watch winder, or can justify the purchase of as most of my watches are entry level affordable watches, I wish I had a couple of more high quality, enthusiast quartz watches I could grab and go, I have the ali express chameri Jody reviewed a few months ago, and I have the bulova super seville precionist, plus a couple of vintage inspired casios, and those are heavy in the rotation now, I think this microbrand has the right idea.

[@Horizontalvertigo]

If you're brave you can go vintage, the early Seikos are remarkably undervalued on the market atm & then if you're buying second hand there's always old GS quartz too.

[@JoseAntonio-yq4oj]

@@Horizontalvertigo hahaha I literally spent like an hour on ebay looking at vintage Seiko-Credors and high quality 90s and 80s Seikos, your comment confirming that is the right direction.

[@Vinylguy67]

Jody! I was literally just looking at the 01 model you reviewed earlier this year. The price with shipping would be. 240€ but with Finlands ridiculous 25,5% duty bumps the proce up to ~306€ (~497aud).Would you say its still worth the price?

[@AckoMunze]

Very nice. Titanium g5, design, bracelet, price, all respectable. But for me (emphasizing this is absolutely not bashing or criticism), it is way too tiny. 37m with such prominent bezel and dial becomes a must-squint-to-see. I'd like to see this one as 40-41mm with the color matched date, and with its 100m wr it becomes a great daily alrounder.

[@cosmodoc]

Nice watch, but I’d rather get the Dan Henry 1964 Grand Tourismo…

[@DC-uf6ve]

Good value and ticks every box..... of things I hate about microbrand watches.

[@ericc.7000]

Been subscribed for about a year now, and love the channel. l've just turned 64 this past week and can say l much prefer mechanical watches to quartz movements. But to approach it from a bit of a different perspective, l started riding kick-start street bikes in the late nineteen-seventies. Have a few classics still in the shed, but the ones that get ridden start with a ... push button! Classic charm is attractive indeed, and l seldom wear quartz watches, but the ease of use of electric cannot be denied.

[@rewolf1972]

Try guinand watches. Superb value.

Thx for the review. For me, the transparent caseback on an ugly movement (be it Seiko NH or, in this case, a quartz), is a nonsense : I like to see nice things only, better to hide the unpleasant parts :)

[@shj2000]

Very nice! And $250 seems a bargain.

[@MarcelitoRecords]

Finally a small chronograph !

[@mitchellwnorowski6747]

At 74 i have given up dealing with casebacks. I can buy a nice Lige quartz fir kess than the $15-20 most jewelers charge to change the battery. Thus when my quartz watch dies i give it away. I have a simple casio diver that uses 4 screws which i can deal with. Otherwise i am enjoying my aliexpress nh-35 homages.

[@HeroAntagonist]

I like they kept the same hands design from the first watch, and I'm amused by the rear showing the module. I'm not taken with the colours, seems a bit pedestrian. I do like what Hertz are doing just think at least one more colour variation would be more helpful

[@WH250398]

I wish the Pagani speedy homage deleted the date indicator on the black model.

[@adaptivekalman]

Quartz has superior accuracy, reliability and durability, also it's cheaper to change the battery or have solar than service the watch.

[@alho9231]

I didn't know Mrs Doubtfire reviewed watches... Who knewwwwww 🤔

[@DJModsChannel]

if the dial had a slight sunburst it would've kicked a massive goal

[@talega1]

My 5 cents, quartz watches should be solar.....; or use a battery if they are

[@russparkin6722]

i fucking love quartz

[@NPJensen]

As good as that watch looks, I just don't enjoy chronograph watches. Give me a date complication, the 24h indicator and Roman or Arabic numerals, and I'm happy. Love the display case back, that's the kind of thing, I can get behind.

[@Horizontalvertigo]

The 24hr indicator, really? Are you underground a lot or something?

[@jamesblonde2271]

Pretty little watch but the Ali Venus watches are much more attractive to me, sorry, still kinda want that "62 Mas" chrono...

[@bolchert]

Hellooooooo!

[@mihaimiu2561]

The australian alternative to casio

[@MosesRS]

I like it but don't care for the faux vintage look on the hands and hour markers and 37mm is too small for a chrono and in general. I do have a HZ.01(v2). It's really nice however the hands are somewhat hard to see against the silver background and even though they made the window larger you still can't see the date. Oh yeah...QUARTZ IS KING!

[@edmonguy]

I applaud any company that extols the superiority of quartz, because quartz is smart and mechanical is stupid. That said, I don't think Hz has quite found a winning design. They're too small and just not attractive enough for the money. I love the glass caseback; sadly, I'd rather look at that than the front. The HZ01 was a better looking (but also too small) watch. Sigh... if only Erebus would quartz us. 😢

[@Frantixj]

13mm thick? And a see-through back for a VK64... ugh. Yeah that's a pass for me but I wish HZ all the best.

No matter your stance on quartz vs. mechanical....you have to admit that as a "budget collector", quartz just makes sense for chronographs. And as an American, I'll go with "H-Zee". :)

[@herbalnedtv]

Imho, 37 mm is too small for a chrono to be useful. Should have gone 40 mm so we wouldn't need a magnifier for the subdials. Very attractive though!

[@Username.RandomNumbers]

The design is very nice. The exhibition case back is a bit naff but if it's not adding much/any cost, why not. In the absence of a date, the 24 hour indicator really can't get more useless. It bothers me more than it should.
