New YoureTerrific video! Have I already watched other videos about this watch? Yes. Am I in any way interested in this watch? No. Will I watch and enjoy every second of this video? Absolutely. Do I know Evan’s wrist size? In every unit imaginable.

I really like that Formex is using the SW-300 and not just another 2824 or its clones, when they absolutely could have for the same price. Hopefully other brands like CW start to use this far better movement more often.

I like what Formex is laying down. They really seem to listen to, and try to cater to, the core watch audience. I met up with them at a local event in Dallas and they were really nice as well. Interesting engineering and approaches to adjustable clasps, cases, etc.

@MJ-we5if 5 ай бұрын

Both are cool and I love what Formex is doing relating to engineering. Slim diver, quick release system, and adjustable clasp is really crazy at this price point.

39 is a great size with huge market for it... great move by Formex to release the Reef in 39mm

The baby reef with the silver dial and the blue bezel looks TREMENDOUS. Now, if I only had 2 grand to frivolously spend on a watch.....

@JackG7786 5 ай бұрын

Just to toss it out there Formex did confirm to me that there will be a Baby Reef GMT sometime late this year or early next in a Facebook comment in their group. Big big fan of my Reef diver. Highly recommend anyone who is interested try one out. They can be had for incredible prices on secondary if you’re unsure about the price on a “micro” brand, but I assure you it’s worth retail all day long if you actually plan to keep it

@thetimist 5 ай бұрын

Both sizes seem wearable, but that's also dependent on the shape (not just the overall circumference) of ones wrist. I'm liking the matte finish on the bezel. It's giving me Rolex Yacht Master vibes.

The Essence Leggera on the rubber strap is my summer watch. The glide adjustability of the strap is very useful in summer, as it is more precise than just selecting another hole. I wish you could show us what the Reef looks like on a 7" wrist. I guess we have to buy one to find out.

Cute! A watch like this though fits better in a 42 if you ask me. Also damn 170 for a bezel feels kinda steep. Maybe. I don't even know anymore.

@HaonProductions 5 ай бұрын

Maybe it's an optical illusion, but the Baby Reef looks like it wears small despite the weirdly wide bracelet. And that's perfect by me, my dream watch is a 38-39mm Seamaster with the thinness of the 90s Brosnan models, and this comes damn close to that. Can't decide on a colour though!

How big is your wrist? Would be interested to see what it looks like on a 7" wrist... Anywhooooo, huge fan of their 41 Carbon Essence, the 39.5 is an awesome size. Also, anyone who hasn't used a deployant clasp with micro-adjustments, has no idea what they are missing out on. If you work out, run, or are physically active then you'll notice your wrist swells and contracts throughout your activity / day. The micro adjustments allow me to quickly adjust my watch as I go from rest to active and back to rest. This is super useful in the gym or rock climbing.

@oni-one574 4 ай бұрын

@@r3dsnow757 To each their own, most people don't bang their wrists often in the gym and if they do, sapphire + zirconium + carbon fiber don't take scratches easily, if at all. The way the face flexes is comfortable too. My watch still looks like new, despite the fact it's been on rock faces, gym rock walls, yoga, and a weight routine, weekly, since I got it in 2021. My old $100 Citizen with crystal on the other hand has giant gashes from where the rock has scrapped across it.

Long time watcher, first time commenter. Least I think so, I did sell my santos for an explorer and may have mentioned it. Anyway, I was really excited to watch this as I like Formex watches but find them too big. I was hoping for a 37-38mm width. I currently have a Seiko SKX013 and love the dimensions, aside from the case height. I haven’t tried on the BB54 yet, but do you know of any comparable dive watches on the smaller side? In any event, love your channel and your approach to this crazy hobby of ours.
