Sugess M199: Perfect Functional Elegance??

AliExpress' top dress watch, Sugess M199 captures the essence of functional elegance. The wonderfully textured dial, high polished stepped mid-case to a sapphire crystal, elegant handset, 50m WR, date and lunar complications, and an ST1908 movement with a display caseback showcase these elements. The cherry on top, this factory direct watch is within +/- 7sec/day. This is the second such ST1901/1908 movement I've received from the factory with superb accuracy.

they should use images of your video instead of the website stock photos, superb video and quality, going to get myself one! Cheers from Brazil

[@Realidealgear]

Thank you for the compliment. I really enjoy the photography portion of what I do. Stay in touch and well in Brazil!

[@FiremanFrach]

That’s one beautiful watch.

[@Realidealgear]

It is for sure!

[@adk7962]

Wow. First 10 of the year. It’s a stunning watch, but I just don’t have anywhere to wear a dress watch. Thanks for the great review!

[@Realidealgear]

I'm in a similar situation. I've gone from CEO type work to manual labor. Dress watches are the ones I restrain from getting most for that reason.

[@christopherblair6636]

superb video

[@Realidealgear]

Thank you.

[@davidtheking8091]

I like your videos Tim thank you. Very nice watch !

[@Realidealgear]

Thanks for watching. It's a keeper!

[@derekshearer9049]

Fantastic photography!

[@Realidealgear]

Thank you. I recently updated to better diffusers. Have a great week.

[@derekshearer9049]

@@Realidealgear what are you using? If I may ask? I'm a photographer as well.

[@Realidealgear]

Canon R with 24-105 lens. Three lights with diffusers and various accent lights. On the rare occasion I use accent lights, I find flashlights (NiteCore MT21C, Acebeam H16), because of their magnetic base and articulating head) of differing temps, LED colors (RovyVonn, Tunege), and intensity...prefer variable intensity like the Sofirn SC21Pro or Thrunite T1. My primary light is the GVM with an 80W source with diffuser. I tend to use the egg-crate to keep dark what I want for darker background/foreground. I use a another portable 10w Aputure light with a diffuser to add another angle. I've got the wide dispersion of light covered with the GVM so I get a little more specific with Aputure setup. Funny thing, I use cardboard with white paper stapled to it for diffused sunlight. I love using sunlight (many time the shadows are interesting) and prefer to get outdoors on 'thin' cloudy days. Takes the bite out of the shadows.

@@Realidealgear Excellent, thank you.

[@gie5669]

Beautiful sir, i have exact same model. Now i have it for 2 years, the watch is wind every 2 days so basically 2 years a non-stop ticking and still accurate

[@Realidealgear]

Great to see. Thanks for sharing.

[@matthewjames8052]

Another great, detailed review that I appreciate. I've been interested in purchasing a Sugess, seems like this one would be a good candidate to start with. Thanks for the quality review!

[@Realidealgear]

Glad it was helpful!

[@Plexcom60]

Nice review, thank you. I have three ST1901s and they all keep excellent time.

[@Realidealgear]

Thank you for watching.

[@redbarchetta8782]

I am a fan of Sugess watches. I have just picked up their Tourbillon. I do have a Moonphase Master with the 28.8 movement and it does have the 29.5 day moonphase.

[@Realidealgear]

What do you think of the tourbillon?

[@WUDN-WatchUDontNeed]

I usually don’t like watches with white or light colored dials , and I definitely don’t like watches with Roman numerals. This one however is an exception! A beautiful choice of strap, I think it really adds to the overall aspect of the watch. It looks so beautiful! Also, that is a really good looking Bible you have there… What year was it published?

[@Realidealgear]

I'm not one for the florentine aesthetics on a watch...but this one maintains practical over frilly. 1905 is when the Bible was recorded as having been given to my wife's great grandmother. I think it's safe to assume it's publishing was just prior to or just after 1900.

[@quarters-eye8922]

Very nice 👍👍👍

[@Realidealgear]

Thank you, have a great week!

[@karlsenula9495]

Sugess usually have nice products.

[@Realidealgear]

Agreed, 100%

[@ichito_j]

Yes but I think it's commonly underrated.

[@ramoverde4133]

This watch has been doing its job for me for 2 years. I like the watch very much! But yes, the crown is very slippery as you have also experienced.

Hola Tim buenos días desde Argentina Buenos Aires, que hermosura de cronografo,te comento me gustó más la parte trasera que la delantera 😊. Me recuerda al orient sun and moon te felicito muy buen gusto. Yo tengo dos cronografos un Bulova sea king y un Tissot seastar 1000 pero de cuarzo o zombies 😂. Tim amigo te mandó un fuerte apretón de manos y un abrazo de oso y que sigan los éxitos Dios té bendiga!!

[@Realidealgear]

Buen día, amigo de Montana, Estados Unidos. Gracias por compartir. El Bulova Sea King es un hermoso reloj y el Tissot Seastar es uno que he estado viendo durante algún tiempo. ¿Encuentra que el Heigh del Tissot fuera de la muñeca es cómodo? Con tal calificación de profundidad, me imagino que es un reloj muy grueso. Estoy fascinado por la construcción del Seastar con calificación de ultra inmersión ... a pesar de que nunca voy a profundizar más de lo habitual profundidades de natación/snorkel. El Orient Sun/Moon es un hermoso reloj y definitivamente veo las similitudes. Cuando enseñaba matemáticas/ciencias de quinto grado, tenía un estudiante cuya madre era de Argentina. También tuve un colega de la ley que era un ex piloto de vuelos comerciales internacionales y entusiasmó cómo Buenos Aires tuvo el mejor bistec que haya tenido. Si bien esas son mis exposiciones limitadas a Argentina (incluida la conversación con usted), tengo mucha curiosidad por la aventura fallida del Polo Sur de Sir Ernest Shakelton. Si no recuerdo correctamente, él ordenó su expedición de Argentina. De Dios, espero viajar a tu país. Mi fe en Dios es un regalo maravilloso de él. Todos los días es suyo. Manténgase en contacto y gracias por compartir.

[@MichaelTravis12c27]

That watch is gorgeous. If I wore a suit more than once in a blue moon I’d be all over it.

[@Realidealgear]

It is that for sure.

[@OriqinLCinema]

Wow this watch looks a lot more expensive. Is it normal that these complications are possible at such an affordable price?

[@Realidealgear]

Chinese movements, yes. It's one of my favorite dress watches.

[@user-es3fj7uj2x]

is this strap by yourself buying? or include in the package at purchase?

[@Realidealgear]

I belelive so, another AliExpress strap.

[@karlsenula9495]

Is it an actual moonphase or a sun/moon phase aka. Day or night indicator?

[@Realidealgear]

It's a pseudo-moon phase based on a 31 day calendar.

[@AnyoxB.D.]

I’ve heard it is a 28 day moonphase

[@Realidealgear]

It's synched up with the 31 day at the 12...I don't believe it's a 28 day. I'd love to be wrong about that.

[@johanvandersandt8904]

For some reason these types of watches remind me of that verse that says there is a season to everything... The endless march of time and how fleeting everything is. Must be the cream dial and the smooth flow of time. Could be the day night indicator. 😅I like it. Its really is very pretty and elegant! The accuracy is pretty good! Good call on the strap! It looks great! "3 To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven: 2 A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted; 3 A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up; 4 A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance; 5 A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing; 6 A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away; 7 A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak; 8 A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace..." Ecclesiastes 3 KJV Take care and be blessed my friend!

[@Realidealgear]

It's got that vintage, 19th early 20th century feel...almost a 'cordial' timekeeping vibe. It seems like history is wrapped up into this piece. Thanks for the passages. I'm reassured that time is temporary and that God is full control of events within time. The watches I wear are a reminder of Christ's creation and return...the beginning and end of time. For example... God speaking to Jeremiah: (Jeremiah 1:5) 5 "Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you, And before you were born I consecrated you; I have appointed you [Jeremiah] as a prophet to the nations." God goes on to tell Jeremiah a prophesy (626 BC) , 15 For, behold, I am calling all the families of the kingdoms of the north [Babylon]," declares the LORD; "and they will come and place, each one of them, his throne at the entrance of the gates of Jerusalem, and against all its walls around, and against all the cities of Judah. 16 And I will pronounce My judgments against them concerning all their wickedness, since they have abandoned Me and have offered sacrifices to other gods, and worship the works of their own hands." and yes it happened, Jerusalem was conquered by king Nebuchadnezzer and Babylon 605 BC: Jeremiah 39:1, 2 1 This is how Jerusalem was taken: In the ninth year of Zedekiah king of Judah, in the tenth month, Nebuchadnezzer king of Babylon marched against Jerusalem with his whole army and laid siege to it. 2 And on the ninth day of the fourth month of Zedekiah's eleventh year, the city wall was broken through. God says it's going to happen, it's going to happen. Time keeps ticking affirming His commitments. If there's one thing the Bible is, it is historically accurate. Dozens of prophecies recorded in the Bible, written hundreds of years earlier (as verified by historical references and linguistic patterns of an earlier time), have came to pass and have been verified by external historical documents...as the Bablyonian conquest of Jerusalem has been. Time keeps ticking... I'm blessed beyond what I could imagine my friend.

[@johanvandersandt8904]

@@Realidealgear Indeed my friend. God is omnipresent and knows the beginning from the end and everything in between. I think you are right. God is beyond time. It has no effect on Him yet its something He values. Everything in its appointed time as scripture says. Prophecy is fascinating. For the Christian it shows us that God keeps His word. That which has to come to pass and that which already perspired. The world is a chessboard my friend and the pieces are always moving until the game is set. God is good indeed! Have a great day Brother!
