UNBOXING MY NEW Cool Quartz Watch! Fun Mondaine Stop2Go BackLight!

[@SwissWatchGang]

What do you think about my new watch? Would you like to see more affordable watches on my channel in the future?

Yea, I do mess up the time on the watch a lot during the day haha. :)

[@springinfialta106]

Last time I looked at Mondaine, only the automatic version had Stop2Go. Glad to see that they now offer this feature with quartz.

[@SwissWatchGang]

Haven't found a automatic version of the Stop2Go yet, do you maybe have a link so I can take a look? Regards, Marko

[@springinfialta106]

@@SwissWatchGang I might have been mistaken. When I was looking a couple of years ago I saw both a quartz and automatic version of the Railway Watch. There was also a Stop2Go at about the same price or more than the automatic so I assumed it was an automatic. But then I've noticed that Mondaine has severely reduced their choices since back then. So maybe they're scaling down due to the recent economic downturn and it turned out to be a limited release watch.

[@SwissWatchGang]

@@springinfialta106 I think there never was a automatic Stop2Go model since mechanically achieving this feature would make the watch much more expensive. The Stop2Go is more expensive than some automatic models though so yes might´ve looked like that. Haven´t found anything online so we´ll just go based off of that for now. :)

[@markedfortime]

I generally don't like anything to do with quartz movements. However, a few have made it through my filter. This is one of them. I've had issues with the second hand failing to move. There's a reset function to align the second hand, which gets it moving again. I have replaced the battery and it seemed to solve the problem, but it recently started up again. Maybe I have old batteries..or a defective watch? Regardless, I do like this watch very much for several reasons not mentioned.. The second hand clicks 4 times per second. So it looks like an automatic low beat. It comes on a black or red band, but I have it on a vintage inspired red nato that looks absolutely stunning with this watch. I heard somewhere this actually has two movements in it, one for the second hand and the other for the hour and minute. A quartz watch can find its way into my collection if it is very unique..this one fits the bill...now if I can only get it moving consistently again!

[@SwissWatchGang]

So far mine is working fine but I will keep an eye out for the seconds hand, maybe you should send it back in since it might be broken or something.

[@nerminsalkic6360]

Nice watch

[@SwissWatchGang]

Thank you Nermin!

[@Mike-kc8rl]

This is a classic of the future and it's superb! I don't have it but have got a regular quartz 40mm version. I have looked into Mondaine watches before but never quite got to a purchase until recently. The stop 2 go is the one I should have got but I don't see it available from Mondaine Web site and have read its discontinued, so not sure why unless it was a poor seller but I would have thought the Swiss would have jumped at it ?

[@anotherknight75]

Nothing wrong with a good quartz. I wear my GShock GW5000 as my beater.

[@SwissWatchGang]

Exactly, love the GW5000, might buy one!

[@oklahomahank2378]

I like the basic 5600, though I have a 5610 and a GW-S 5600 as well. The basic 5600 shows the current time in the stopwatch and timer, but the more sophisticated modules (like the 3159) show the hours in stopwatch time and the beginning time in the countdown timer. Careful, G shocks can be addicting.

[@dominikz.1376]

Honestly, the movement captivated me to such an extent that I was able to ultimately break the grips of a long time sexual addiction I had (i.e. compulsive public exhibitionism.) I think this watch is not only my best buy and conversation piece, but a breaker for evil compulsions and evil spirit posessions

Quartz is cool too - as you're aware, I own a quartz Victorinox, and I'm very pleased with it. I think you should do more quartz watches under two conditions - firstly, if you're going Swiss, I suggest that you either go high - end, or if you're going low end, go for something iconic like the Mondaine/my Victorinox. If you're going Japanese, you should check out the GS 9F series, the Citizen Chronomaster, and the Seiko Kinetic line of watches.

So... The second hand rotate at 58 second in total, not 60 second? You can't use this watch to set your other watch unless the second hand is at 12 isn't it?

[@SwissWatchGang]

Well yea, but that's how you'd set every watch no? When the seconds hand is at 12. U just maybe have to wait a seconds and catch it so to speak but I do see what you're saying.

[@watchnerds]

@@SwissWatchGang I see... So the "second hand" moves 2 second faster than normal seconds hands then... Idk why they didn't implement the system of the Glashutte Original Senator watch in settings as well, cz the minute hand in GO moves in 1 min increment instead of sweeping that causing unprecise hand placement in this watch...I wonder if its due to the play between each gears though its easily fixed with composite gearing instead of spring and jumper mechanism.

[@SwissWatchGang]

@@watchnerds Something like this yes. Maybe GS uses something similar like tha dead-beat second movements just that it jumps every minute instead of every second.

[@watchnerds]

@@SwissWatchGang I wish more manufacturers done the same. JLC does so too with its gyrotourbillon minute repeater perpetual calendar, the minute jumps each 1 minute

[@SwissWatchGang]

[@andysmith7903]

You may wish to know that these watches are very sensitive to the battery voltage. When it is low the second hand will not continue to stop at 12 it will tend to stop at various positions anti-clock wise. It is so sensitive that leaving the watch off your wrist (lower temp) for a few days that the batt voltage will drop and the second hand will no longer stop at 12. It can be reset by pushing in the crown for 3 sec but it will loose position again if the voltage drops.

Is this quartz as in solar?

[@SwissWatchGang]

No, just Quartz.

[@sharponsocks889]

Just returned it. The height is 'only' 12.7mm but seems much higher because of the design. Too bad, I find the idea very original and one of the few quartz movements that I would pay a premium for. The 30m water resistance and the stamped clasp could be better but I could live with that. Let the next version be better designed, there is still margin to sell this more expensive.

If the Swiss made a new automatic movement that achieves the Stop2Go with a sweep second hand... yes, that would be 'proper'. But a second hand powered by a quartz Ronda movement that runs 58 seconds and halts and then continues... oh well. For me, it is the iconic Bauhaus movement. But you are right, the baton hand and just playing with it until we get bored with it... I love the look but 'quartz' to me is a horological joke.
