The Grand Seiko SLGH005 | A Week On The Wrist

[@Watch.Hightower]

Brandon Menancio 👏🏽👏🏽 Bravo I'm so glad Hodinkee acknowledged your incredible talent 👌🏾You a House hold name now brother 👊🏾

[@Tdr-jv2nc]

I really like him, I hope he does more videos . Keep up the good work Brandon 👍🏻

[@CaptainFury767]

"Attention to detail." A phrase beaten into my brain as a young Naval Aviator and my lodestar ever since. I'm pleased a younger generation still embraces it. Your Dad was a wise man. Well done.

[@demetrist8537]

Absolutely love this guy and his review! Who would have thought that Lionel Ritchie looks would be so well matched with electronic/ Tron style music...? Ah, incredible watch as well! Seen it in the flesh, looks and feels a lot more expensive than it actually is

[@ewhulbert]

He's a fantastic reviewer. Doesn't do a ton, and its mostly watches he personally purchased, and his production quality and depth of review is excellent. Also, he's a Naruto fan who puts expensive watches on miniature figurines of Jiraiya and Minato, so definitely appreciate the nerdiness to make this fun. Check out his channel for others, Brandon Menancio is the name.

[@erythuria]

Brandon's a breath of fresh air!

[@hubertkolka3107]

I love how lively and enthusiastic this a week on the wrist is while still seeming authentic. One of the best ones yet. Great job Brandon, hope to see more content soon!

[@rhendog7]

Love Brandon's content, glad Hodinkee gave him the nod for this one... Perfect guy to review this watch in particular.

[@joshn.5625]

Agreed. Brandon is great.

[@BrittPearceWatches]

WOOOOAHHGG! Brandon is on HODINKEE?!?!?! I had no idea!!!! AND WHAT A PERSON TO BE ON TEAM! I love it! Definitely lucky to have him!

[@MinuteMon]

Great to see Brandon on here for a Week on the Wrist! Love the SLGH005

[@stewester]

Loved this. Brandon is the kind of guy the watch world needs! Genuine enthusiasm!

[@SwissWatchGang]

Love both White Birch models! :)

[@zim312]

I was confused what channel I was watching for a second. Awesome job, Brandon!

[@neyraofficial8722]

Awesome debut Brandon!

[@ChrisVPlant]

This is Hodinkee on a whole other level with their week on the wrists, great music, great editing. Feels more like a lifestyle video than a standard review. 🔥

[@richardsmegma5081]

Eagle-Eye Cherry has reinvented himself!

[@Iexpedite1]

Eagle, who now goes by “E” has a day job now. Four years ago he began saving his royalty checks to buy watches. The royalties aren’t what they used to be, so he occasionally performs with a group of other one-hit-wonders. This GS is the result of recent concert T-shirt sales. Thank you Cleveland!!!!

[@przemyslawskoczylas5183]

The attention to detail gave him the eagle eye nickname, right? 😂

[@hzee13]

Was so confused when the video started. I thought I pressed on the wrong video expecting Brandon haha Awesome vid as usual and always nice to see another GS

[@123ClassicRock]

Congrats on Hodinkee Brandon!!

[@cardinalj]

Soooooooo confused. Wish i could like this more than once Brandon... Great video!

[@WATCHingJames]

This has quickly become my most wanted grail watch.

[@aarronwalter]

Like the subtle humor Brandon brought to this video and the fresh feel of the production. More from Brandon please!

[@StandardTime]

After having John Mayer and Ed Sheeran on this is the next best thing you’ve done Hodinkee! Certainly the best A Week On The Wrist I’ve seen 🙌

[@speed1281able]

I’ve the SLGA009 with SLGA007 two of my most favourite watches in my collection.

[@TheDerisavi]

I like and enjoying watching this guy more than Grand Seiko itself : )

[@chowow.211]

Love the White birch!

[@SteveDion]

Brandon, what can I say, another great video!

[@sunshinesuen6998]

vow finally，the hidden gem go public😄

[@flowremix]

Whoa! Hodinkee...not on Brandon's channel. Not even addressing it. Cheers to you Brandon. Good pick up hodinkee.

[@rajnil_thakur]

The dial is mesmerizing.

[@filipl5490]

That is a proper man with a proper watch. I like it.

[@filipl5490]

4.35 also a really nice outfit

[@jameskwon7617]

Great job Brandon. Awesome video on an awesome watch.

[@vintko]

That was a GREAT review. Well done.

[@ebiedog]

Finally a hodinkee host with personality and style

[@barryvercueil2346]

Awesome video Brandon. Love your channel.

[@stebesplace]

I love everything about this watch, except the bracelet. More taper and a micro adjust would have made it perfect.

[@Rafa-yw8nu]

is it a right thing to do to put a strapcode bracelet on a $10k watch?

[@WatchCrunchOfficial]

The only thing spicier than that watch is that man 🧔

[@BB-gl7zt]

With you, You're Terrific, Brandon and Miguel doing watch reviews, just shows why the West Coast is the best coast

[@SoCalWatchReviews]

@@BB-gl7zt ❤️ ❤️

[@wojciechfortuna8500]

BEST. WEEK ON THE WRIST. EVER. I love your videos Brandon, man you're on a different level.

[@A_Dude_And_His_Watch78]

Love your reviews and this is a nice collaboration with Hodinkee. They got the right guy for the job on this one.

[@tab3Gator]

Brandon is BACK! Love your videos and special shouts to Hodinkee for providing you this platform.

[@mb-watches]

Brandon, good to see you there with Hodinkee now. Big respect and cheers from Germany.

[@calmenda]

I loved this review. Brandon has great energy, it was very informative, and since I am a cyclist in Los Angeles it was nice to see him on the bike in LA.

[@timelesssneakersandwatches]

Brandon!!! My boy!!! Congrats!!! Wow, well done, well deserved! An inspiration keep killing it bro 👊😊. Also, I have to agree with you GS is just at another level. Congrats on the acquisition 🔥

[@wurmhat1501]

Brandon is the man.

[@ejjrl1ify]

The quality of this production is otherworldly. 👏

[@DingsGuy]

Love Brandon’s reviews! Great production quality, honest and clear commentary, and relatable storytelling.

[@edjack1993]

When you’re considering buying a watch and the first KZbin review that comes up for it is from Brandon 🙌🏻

[@admiralunicorn9256]

Cinematography is one of the best🔥

[@jez443]

This video sold me on this watch. What a stunner of a dial.

[@mikemush9741]

Brandon my man! Great to see you on Hodinkee. Great move for both parties. Love your reviews and hope to see more of you on Hodinkee!

[@cjsolarmusic]

Love seeing Brandon... one of my favorite youtubers to watch. Great collab 🤘🏻

[@georgegopiao4411]

I just picked up a GS White Birch, and I’ve been watching multiple reviews of the watch. I must say that your review was the best and spot-on. I reckon it helps that you actually own the watch that you reviewed; thus, I sensed a little more passion with your content. Great job 👏🏼

[@alexchu8434]

superb new style of video! Lovin' it Brandon and Hodinkee!

[@RocasThePenguin]

GS is up there in my favorite watches range. Omega and GS really. When I get home, I think I am buying the Spring Drive variant of this piece and I can't wait. I do wish they would upgrade their bracelets, but no watch is perfect. ---- Rocas

[@altherr1957]

Pure Gold!

[@rabo4ii]

This video was as good as the watch itself. Bravo!

[@JJchin306]

Wow! Thought I was watching a different channel at first! Love this, so good, and congrats Brandon!

[@blairphelps7215]

The power reserve on the back through the display case back is brilliant. Also, I love the drilled lugs.

[@pensforgts]

this guy is talented and i watched every video of him. Pay him well hodinkee

[@tonylee1835]

Congrats on making the big leagues and taking team dream team with you!

[@markp9416]

I was pumped to see the week on the wrist notification for this watch now even more excited it’s you doing it. Congrats🍻

[@danijayyy1]

Congrats, Brandon! Hodinkee found themselves a gem!

[@vincentton4449]

Brandon over here killing it! Keeping it so fun

[@jason_jay3868]

Brandon! Been waiting for another video on your channel, then find you contributing to Hodinkee. This was great, nice to see it is still your video with your style, flavor and humor.

[@kennetha.1937]

Brandon on Hodinkee! Great to see! Keep up the awesome work, man!

[@davidpatrick9302]

Fantastic review! Every part of it was on point.

[@Stanjara]

Wow, who is this guy? Extremely good taste. Music, style and energy is on another level in this one. How he pulled Grand Seiko on a bike idk, but it works. Real talent!

[@tods.9947]

Hey Brandon, it’s great that you are a Hodinkee contributor. Bravo!

[@jonryan5386]

When I heard the voice at first I was like wait a minute am I watching the wrong channel? I never comment on videos but I have to say… Congratulations Brandon!!

[@aklmad]

This guy is awesome! Would’ve never pictures a review in this format for a Grand Seiko. Kept me hooked till the end. Great job !

[@SuperAJ360]

Wow! From one of us mortals to one of them watch-Gods! Brandon is climbing up the ladder! Cheers!!

[@mrb317]

Brandon is a natural. Great watch and well presented

[@defenestratedone]

Brandon moving on up! Great to see some iconic LA locations as well.

[@RobinHood-us7sg]

Great vid 👍🏻 subscribed to Brandon’s channel a while ago and glad to see he’s getting the exposure he deserves.

[@michaelriera6277]

Technically superior.

[@robbiepurvis]

Fantastic video! This chap is up there with Ben’s original Talking Watches. 👏

[@actnaturally388]

Brandon elevates Hodinkee’s AWOTW to a whole new level, well done! 👍🏻🎉

[@jeffdj1975]

Good job Brandon!

[@EverydayWatchGuy]

A big hats of to your video content Brandon! We have very similar taste (Birch and Lake Suwa brothers) and I picked up the Grand Seiko SBGM221 shortly after your review of this GMT. Hodinkee is lucky to have you :)

[@stapleboss]

Once again, your camera work and editing are excellent.

[@Schlammalammadingdong]

Personality Personality Personality I’m talking about the Grand Seiko ohh and you Brandon were a nice breath of freshness into the Hodinkee characters that bring such great content. Great music throughout added that extra pop of Flair… it didn’t go unnoticed.

[@Tdr-jv2nc]

I like seeing watches being used in these videos. Great video and a great presenter!

[@Kbo513]

Oh nice! Brandon Menancio - love his content!

[@wilhelmjonsson3971]

Brandon did an amazing job! Perfect review!

[@0388nemo]

Just got this watch yesterday. Amazing from all aspects, the dial is unbelievable beautiful, comfortable bracelet ( if GS can add micro adjustment function it will be even better, but the bracelet fits me well, so I am happy) decorated movement, for this price point, I don’t think you can find another watchmaker provide another decorated movement to compete with 9SA5. Bonus point: you can get discounts for this loving timepiece 😎 Highly recommended!

[@ayibeden]

Loved this review and the watch.

[@Gilschmidt89]

This was awesome 😎 love the watch, love the brand, love the the episode. Brandon crushed this!

[@BrandonMenancio]

Heeeyyy! Thanks!

[@francoroche4662]

Great adding to the team!

[@ShizAudi]

Idk what I like more, the watch or the master roshi hoodie haha 😅

OMG Brandon on Hodinkee! Well done as usual :)

[@SV8812]

Amazing vid, hope this guy becomes a staple on hodinkee!

[@MrClaudeCrook]

Congrats Brandon!I love your content!

[@sammyzaf]

Super well shot and creative. Nice video!

[@vktravellog1242]

This new movement blows away their older designs! A huge upgrade to their movement and is the right direction to compete with the swiss!

[@suteeth5573]

Great vid and style. It’s totally different from what I’ve seen in the past from Hodinkee but it reaches the quality as usual.
