Swatch YVS45G Review - Not Your Typical Swatch But Is That A Good Thing?

What's happening good people, today I'm looking at a Swatch that isn't a normal Swatch and that could be a good thing or maybe not. What it is, is less hyped than the moonswatch, cooler imo and better in a lot of ways.

The exception to this is the list of videos where I showcase watches and products I think you should take a look at but I always advise you to do your own research first.
Thanks again.

Good to see you back man! That looks pretty good on you bud! Id rather have this than the Moonswatch! Its not that busy for a chrono actually... No unnecessary text, unobtrusive date window. Not bad at all! I dont like the exclusive strap options but I am sure there are alternatives out there that would make this more comfy. This would look sweet on a nato strap. Would I buy this over a Citizen or Seiko... probably not.

[@WesWatchRoom]

Thanks mate and glad to be back. Agree with this 100%, if they'd have given the option to swap the bracelet out it would be so much better and yeah I'd get a seiko over this anyday, shame really. Thanks very much for watching, enjoy your weekend.

@@WesWatchRoom Thanks man! Have a good one!

[@XjohnjohnX88]

Hey Wes! Great review! Can't wait for the next one

[@WesWatchRoom]

Thank you mate, its not my best work but I'm trying to make this style work as its all I have time to make now.

[@XjohnjohnX88]

No problem mate. It's all good! 👌👍

[@thebaldwatchcollector]

Boy I've missed that "What's happening good people", good to see you back mate

[@johanvandersandt8904]

Agreed!

[@WesWatchRoom]

Thanks Troy, its good to be back making videos again.

[@thebaldwatchcollector]

@@WesWatchRoom hope all is well and good to have you back

[@WesWatchRoom]

@@thebaldwatchcollector All is good thanks mate and hope it is for you as well.

[@watchsixto]

Yes definitely change the hands no lume might as well be empty. That's why I like you can make video anywhere

[@WesWatchRoom]

The white does match but they could have painted instead of pointless lume, but just my opinion. Appreciate you watching mate, enjoy your weekend

[@MirrlyonTime]

Nice review as always. Agree these type of bracelets need half links for better fit, just hit and miss with these type bracelets. As far as the subdials, have to disagree with you on the 1/10 per second subdial, I think for a chronograph it is proper to have, as opposed to a 24 hr subdial which is far more useless for a chronograph but that’s just my opinion. This is actually a swatch watch that I could go for, looks wise. Agree why bother with lume if you aren’t going to apply enough?

[@WesWatchRoom]

Thanks mate and I get that its more useful than a 24-hour too but surely there's something better and more useful than the 1/10 chronographs could have. Can't recall a time where I've ever needed to time 1/10 for anything. Appreciate you watching. Enjoy your weekend

[@WATCHingJames]

It is an interesting offering. One of the best looking I’ve seen from swatch. It is a shame about the fit.

[@WesWatchRoom]

Yeah, if they'd have done a more traditional lug arrangement, it would make it so much more appealing as you could swap it out for something else. Thanks for watching

[@cshawncarr1]

i’m new to this space but is it possible to get a higher quality bracelet. i love the aesthetic as well but worry about the fit. i’ve been doing quite a bit of reading and watching vids that say don’t let the bracelet put you off a watch you like. there any reason that wouldn’t apply to this watch. disclaimer im a newby and this may be an ignorant question

[@nickdsnik1675]

I don't understand what the top right subdial is for. Does it only work after the stopwatch is stopped?

[@WesWatchRoom]

Its a pointless 1/10 second timer, it really has no purpose from what I can gather. Probably they had loads of this movement and decided to use it? Thanks for watching

[@jamesblonde2271]

Quite cute, looks big on you mind.

[@WesWatchRoom]

It is, I have slimmer wrists than average so for a normal size wrist, would likely be fine. Thanks

[@scatterbrain9490]

Straps always look good too

[@WesWatchRoom]

It is nice looking for sure, just not practical.

[@gachachampion7895]

C'mon Swatch? Make the ETA 251.262 yourselves for your chronos, will you?

[@WesWatchRoom]

That would be a massive improvement over the one in this

[@sugashack74]

There is a HACK that I figured out and I will tell your viewers. If you buy any 43mm Irony watches and want to add a NATO band, get the band for the SKYBOND YVS409. It is comes with a NATO strap adapter that fits the lugs of most 43mm. I have two NATO dedicated Swatch watches and just bought a third and that band and will add it to the third. The YVS407 is the other NATO Swatch that is 41mm

[@SekundenZeiger]

It´s Plexi Glas not Mineral!

[@DanielPaladino]

YVS495G?

[@glenng8787]

👍

[@WesWatchRoom]

Thanks

[@Zotrax1946]

More swollen?? This one is very much not my cup of tea

[@WesWatchRoom]

Yeah, I couldn't get my words out properly 😂. And I like it but I get why. Thanks for watching

[@alerojas2952]

The word is swollen

[@coldude2559]

Too big

[@WesWatchRoom]

It is a bit, but then again, I only have very slim wrists.
