Always nice when something pops up an surprises me and this is one such watch. Looks amazing. Possibly more amazing than it feels, but that is hardly a criticism at this price point. I think the black or blue models would be a great one watch collection for anyone with a eye for style....and for value. Cheers, JOMW!

[@fatkev1983]

You've done it again... I'm seriously thinking of pulling the trigger on one of these. That is one belter of a diver!

[@ZaDude1970]

Taking your advice into consideration, I purchased the Tevise T801 & I absolutely love it. This is one underrated watch channel. Keep up the great work & much love from a nation that generally loves watches, Lebanon.

[@jefferyneu3915]

I have been an avid diver for over 40 years. I can think of absolutely no reason to have a 90 click bezel. At that price, it might not be a deal breaker. The watch is beautiful and has great specs. Nice review Jody!😍

[@masord9195]

I never really considered kickstarter/micro-brand watches until you started reviewing all these wonderful pieces which are amazing value. Thanks for bringing a breeze of fresh air on the tube, which was starting to get a little repetitive across all watch channels: one would always see the same top 10 watches under 500$, 200$, etc etc.

[@Michael-4]

Interesting reading some comments. I think we are a bit spoilt these days with the quality, value and the creative design micro brands are capable of producing these days. The bar has truly been raised and puts quite a few big brands to shame.

[@indyawichofficial1346]

That is right - BIG TIME!!!

[@juniorjohnson5961]

I agree paying big money for a name is stupid 🎄

[@triples4good]

The Ministry of Silly Walks. Love the shirt.

[@bigpizzapie]

Beautiful piece. Love the dial, love the font choice for the 12,3,6,9. And love the case back. I’m a sucker for a nice case back. For the price point it’s a great value. Thanks for the vid.

[@cooper65]

I really like the design. Simple and elegant. I would appreciate a diver's extention on the bracelet - not that I'm diving but it's useful in hot days.

[@Matty9003]

This watch is absolutely stunning. I’ve never ever heard of this brand! Thankyou my friend I know what my next purchase is going to be. I am blown away by how good this watch looks.

[@izzie1200]

Did you get it? How’s it holding up pal

[@csharpewalls]

Very nice watch, thank you for the heads up on the watch brand. Looks like a keeper.

[@paulstevenson200]

Terrific, informative vid. That really is one stunner of a watch and very impressed. Thanks.

[@jasonwilson7674]

Loving the caseback, I had the nh35 movement in my invicta, kept excellent time, very nice, and that watch check app is brilliant, I use it myself 👍

[@raserx63]

Rename the brand “Odyssea” and watch sales double...dudes names on watches reek like a fashion watch sold at JC Penney’s.

[@poulwinther]

And Odyssea reeks of even cheesier than the cheesiest ever Chinese watch brand.

[@Chris.Strange]

@@poulwinther At least it doesn't say "Cheronometer" on the dial.

[@Bonpu]

So no Audemars Piquet, Vacheron Constantin, A. Lange und Söhne, Jaeger-LeCoultre, Sinn, Breitling, Junghans, Cartier, Tissot, Piaget, Patek Philippe, Breguet, Blancpain etc. for you.

[@ryanpeck3377]

@@Bonpu Those arent the same. They’re Last name (or two last names) only, If this was just branded LeGrand it would be a 1000% better....The only Swiss made brand comparable would be Christoper Ward and I myself would never by a Christopher Ward due to that name on the dial. (I also refuse to buy Calvin Klein clothes for the same reason).

[@Kill0rbAg]

@@ryanpeck3377 Then you are a narrowminded person that acts on his feelings rather than logic.

Nice watch for $300 price point, personally I would prefer crown guards but the movement is reliable and AWESOME second hand by the way!!!

[@indyawichofficial1346]

Absolutely !!!

[@azrael9387]

Quick question does the one that shows the date do the same light flow up? I wanna buy this one but they’re sold out 😪

[@jorgealdunate9140]

Love it! Really beautiful watch! In my shopping list!

[@Zain.Basi1]

Gorgeous piece! This is exactly why I do my research ❤️

[@randomvideomaker321]

Thanks for the review/introducing me to this watch! Went ahead and purchased it. Had it for about a month. I must say I love almost everything about it. I love the way it looks, it keeps great time and boasts great specs. This is my first saphire crystal watch I love it. I took it swimming in the ocean for a week and it passed with flying colors. When the sunburst dial hits the sun/light just right? Ohh man this watch is BEAUTIFUL. My only two gripes: no day/date and the 90 click unidirectional bezel. I would like to finish with saying I highly recommend this watch! At this price point, with these specs, im fairly confident your not going to find better!

[@izzie1200]

How’s it holding up pal thanks

[@ziparis]

I went to their site and bought an Atlanticus Diver which suited my tastes a little better. If it's anywhere near as good as the Odyssea I'm sure I'll be thrilled. Thanks for the video, and yea, micro brands are killing it these days. If you do a bit of research and can step a bit outside of the mold you can find pieces that are much more interesting than what's offered in local shops.

[@jerryarnold1999]

Very good review, thanks for the upload.

[@Knightswhosaynee]

This looks very nice. Thanks for showing it , it is in the cart now.

[@Andres-kr7pi]

I need help. Should I get an invicta 9404 automatic watch, or a Vostok amphibian?

[@almcl9391]

Good value but suggest to finish off the bezel insert better in V3 (12' pip looks cheap and could use depth/frame and a diver with no 1-15 minute marks (even subtle/short ones might help)?

[@chrisauge6802]

Thanks for the review. Looks like an outstanding value for the money!

[@adrianmorris3772]

Smashing watch. I would like on of these. Case back is real wow. Thanks ,Jody. Best regards.

[@Dave062YT]

Looks great and a winner .Never wondered what the date was when underwater so well done RLG .{nodoubt the desk divers who work in an office will winge lol }

[@corbanfraser3582]

Seems like descent value and the blue looks amazing.

[@stritlit]

Hey! What's your opinion about the citizen Nh8350 range? Do you think it's a better alternative to the Orient Bambino?

[@BarnOwl61]

What a good looking watch, great specifications too. It is a nice crossover between diver and dresswatch. It reminds me a little of the Oris Aquis design, but not to much.

[@ashleyb66]

That is a great piece. That Ashley dude is a legend.

[@rsucesso]

congratulations, excellent finding

[@drwindsurf]

I really like the balance of the dial with the 3 6 9 12. It is a little odd that there is no minute track on the b bezel. This looks like an interesting watch for the price. Love the t-shirt! Thank you for another great video Jody :)

[@woonfaseng8737]

it should be really a diver style but more wears or function more practically like Explorer / dress watch combination like Explorer 1 or Seiko Sarb 033

[@ramspencer5492]

Only thing it's missing is a 60 or 120 click bezel. Most people buy these for style or use a different tool watch for deep diving. No problem swimming in this one.

[@drewfaille1528]

Great review. Beautiful watch for the price!

[@pederlindstrom3132]

Hello again from northern Sweden. That was a rather nice timepiece,,, does it come in green? Have you done a review on the Seiko Solar SSC513?

[@ChristianKrean]

Definitely gonna pick up this one !!!

[@anenglishmanabroad]

Very excited for the new, thinner version of this watch coming out soon. Without wanting to fat shame, our friend Richard LeGrand could benefit from slimming down around the waistline.

[@LouisWinthorpe622]

I'm on an economy drive at the moment, or else I would seriously consider one. I didn't think of it during the review but the people criticising the company and watch name choices have a point. They've built a piece that would appeal to a WIS but they've named it to appeal to the Joe Average fashion watch buyer. They should have just thought up a name during a daily commute like the man who came up with Rolex did; out of thin air. I've got no problem with the Superocean Heritage style bezel scale some people don't like. In this day and age practically no automatic diver is going on with a wetsuit, underwater. That job went to G-Shocks and Sunntos. It's good enough to judge heating a pizza or timing how long you'll be waiting for a train. If you've got the spare cash and a vacancy for a new automatic diver style watch it would be an excellent choice. I've been really warming to Arabic numeralled divers, of late. Like for modding ideas, etc. The Glycine Combat looks fabulous and the dial on this is reminiscent of an Orient Mako or a Longines Hydroconquest but with better balance without the date. What a great way of going 'off-Seiko' (like off-piste) it would be!

[@Jeroenoman]

Very handsome watch, I've recently been into dive watches without crownguards so this is right up my alley.

[@AvgJoeWatchReviews]

Nice review!

[@lupo1185]

another great review (as always) featuring an interesting piece! A watch I would like to see on your channel is the "Slow Jo" from slow-watches, a minimalistic 24 hours-one hand watch. Not everybodies cup of tea (and therefor perfect for your channel ;) ). I have mine now for a year and I'm super happy. Conversation starter and nice to look at (my model is a Slow Jo 3 but I sometimes change it to a brown-leather, epic as well...). Company is based in Hamburg, Germany, watch is swiss made though. Would be interested to hear, what you think about that one.

[@Davepool_TF-69]

That is gorgeous! Great video as always. You're an excellent presenter.

[@torbensvensson2093]

Very good of you to find out about this microbrand, nice price, nice specs and everything!! Does it have a date in this model to??🙈👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻

Do those watch winders work good in the back? Where'd you get yours?

[@rikitasrianto6872]

Hi.. how you compare this with steinhart?

Wow amazing lume shot 😊

[@sandorgyula7944]

Thank you i like you presentation perfect like always

[@watchalot919]

Looks nice. Parnis make a 200m dive watch that is superb. Sapphire window with AR coating. 316L case. Beautiful comfortable stainless bracelet. 100 click bezel with ceramic insert. Miyota auto movement. Cost £72, yes you read it right.

[@hockingham7160]

Very impressed at that price... The only gripe I have with it is the cylinder shaped case, a feature like that in a watch never really appeals to me. Think I'm going to make an exception on this one though ;)

[@RM-uz4fg]

Really great review. I am torn beween the RL watches and lorier neptune watches. Could you please do a review of lorier's watches?

[@jeremyhook1818]

Bought one in blue looks great I'm very pleased. Thanks for recommending. PS they are currently discounting the other two finishes

[@JustOneMoreWatch]

Glad you like it Jeremy, and thanks for the tip! I'll try and get a black one in for review as well. Cheers!

[@user-wu5rt1pk8p]

Where can we get this???? Is there any special website or vendor's page?

[@niveusgaius]

I really appreciate the no-date dial. I don’t think vintage-aesthetic dive watches should include it because it ruins the dial symmetry. Two of the better affordable examples are Steinhart’s vintage military and the new Chris Ward C65 vintage diver. On the high end the Longines heritage skin diver is another good example. Vintage is the hot look right now in desk divers. These pieces are not tool watches; there’s plenty of choices in that category. This is a niche all it’s own. That said, I think more brands will loose the date or at least give you the option like Phoebus. This is a real sleeper; thanks for sharing.

[@theplasticdesert2408]

Finally a blancpain I can afford lol. This is nice. Very nice.

[@seannforce2690]

Cool looking watch. Seems to be sort of a Fifty Five Fathoms copy, which I’ve had my eye on for quite a long time

[@manxology]

You do an great job.

[@oktc68]

Very nice, looks similar to one of the Fifty Fathoms, handset is very similar. Not a fan of ceramic bezel looks but sapphire, that really adds something. Dial is a classic.

[@joshuasamms8531]

I like the second hand movement

[@space.cowboyyyyy]

I cant decide between black and blue, my main color is black, but this blue is just WOW!

[@eduard2964]

hi bezel it is ceramic or sapphire?

[@johnklonaris9136]

Very impressive.

[@bhavs26]

Very classy. I would definitely buy a 38mm version of this in a heartbeat

[@stefpix]

Reminds me of fashion watches: name / fonts, the bezel, lack of minute markers. RL logo sounds like Ralph Lauren. For the same price Nodus Trieste, Helm Vanuatu, Seiko Samurai etc seem better.

[@TopSecretVid]

Love it... maybe they will do a green..as well

[@snacklofter]

A beautiful watch that punches well above its price! thanks snack

[@nickg2954]

Great looks and price

[@silverstaralchemist]

Somewhat unpopular opinion: I much prefer watches styled like fashion watches (I have yet to find a Seiko diver I find aesthetically appealing), but with the build quality we come to expect from bigger brands. This one definitely fits that bill! A beautiful diver and one I'll definitely have to consider in the future!

[@petershallis2294]

Very nice, something of the JLC Polaris about it...in a good way.

[@ABCTEST213]

like your review!!

[@stusims6567]

You really should review the Nautis divers. For a lower retail than this you get a chrono diver with a 200 meter water resistant watch in your choice of colors with a sapphire Chrystal screw down crown that is its own design. At this time they make only two models, the chrono and a non chrono that is considerably less expensive. These watches are built like an Abrams tank. They are quartz but I think they are a real value!

[@dainisrasa6586]

That case back is just - woow!

[@waktosha7378]

That's a nice looking watch. I like the minute hand and seconds hand reaching out to the markers. I would rather it be a Myota 9000 series, but I rather have the Nh35 over a Myota 8000 series movement. It would even have been nice to have the ne version of the 6r15 movement. For me it a shame it has no day and date though.

[@alimouad5120]

Indeed it is the classiest dive watch for the given price point. But my only objection is the "Hour Hand". I find it a bit short. I may be mistaken.

[@cucovermillion369]

The Black on black version look sick!!

[@BlankSpot07]

Nice watch !

[@josephkimjavier]

Can you please review the watch Stuhrling Original Ascot.

[@damionberv5074]

This one’s definitely easy on the eyes for sure. When you mention it doesn’t feel as good as it looks, is it too light, too heavy etc? Just curious.

[@titmusspaultpaul5]

What a stunning watch... and the price is sensational.

[@bubbab7792]

Would prefer a date window, nut still a very good watch. Thanx Jody.

[@TinBin-Craig]

Mmmmm... That is good. I do like the crown at 4 o'clock though... Maybe on the next version...???

[@williamparker2922]

Nice watch for the price. Great video and review.

[@JustOneMoreWatch]

Thanks William!

[@SunsetSheen]

Beautiful watch. Looks far more expensive than $300. I don’t mind a NH35 at this price point if the rest of the watch is quality (which this one is). Just wish the size was scaled down a bit. If this was a 40x13x47 I’d be all over it 💸

[@trubadyr99]

Agreed!

[@duddde54]

These watches that pop up on kickstarter makes me scratch my head hard at the more mainstream watch brands for offering less watch for the money as far as quality of bracelets, case finishings, and clasps go! The exception I'd make to that are for some Victorinox watches that take a deep price drop on amazon. You should try some out!

[@samdaniels1234]

Sweet

[@sebastiandavies7321]

I love the depth and shade of blue on the face and bezel but im not totally sold on the case its maybe a bit to thick and flat on top, sort of like a burger but flat, not sure

[@monirmualla]

very classy ! anyone knows where to get it from ? it is OOS on company site .

[@maxcarter9117]

Not bad, I’d like some type of pearl marker at the dot on the 12 like Rolex looks like it’s missing something there

[@InspireWire]

What a beauty 😁

[@kevinmain9882]

You should check out momentum watches it a good watch it form Vancouver British Columbia I have to of them and my son have one two

[@phantiensi8233]

Where to buy this watch plz?

[@Mike-nh3be]

The size, colour and movement are all good but no date... not even an option to have a date model plus they charge an additional fee for delivery (to Australia at least). I think the Phoibos Wavemaster is a better deal at almost a $100.00 less when you take into account delivery charges and that has a date option, sapphire crystal, seiko movement and ceramic bezel. I also think the Dan Henry 1970 is also better value at about $70.00 less and has the option of 40mm or 44mm sizes although it is a compressor style vintage inspired watch. The coin style case back on the Dan Henry is very similar to the Richard LeGrand which I think is a good thing. Perhaps they are from the same factory. The Chinese made microbrands are certainly churning out some nice looking watches but the prices are getting up there noting how cheap the movement is (US $35.00) and that sapphire crystals are not that expensive now. Credit to Alson Lee from Singapore who developed the watch through kickstarter though, I think this is still a fine effort and if it were US $250.00 it would be a winner. PS I also love the shirt, 10 out of 10 there.

[@ifall5651]

It seems to reflect a lot of the features of your Oris.. without the pricetag of course.. Can you take a look at the Baltic BiCompax. It seems to be a decent value chrono that isn't a direct "homage" (alpha I am looking at you)

[@bnick25352535]

i think one thing microbrand can offer is a no logo or branding version,but this watch really does look nice

[@sbsb4995]
