[@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 👍🏻

[@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!

[@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!

[@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.

[@erythuria]

Brandon's a breath of fresh air!

[@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!

[@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.

[@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.

[@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

[@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. 🔥

[@zim312]

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

[@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 🙌

[@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 🔥

[@SwissWatchGang]

Love both White Birch models! :)

[@cjsolarmusic]

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

[@neyraofficial8722]

Awesome debut Brandon!

[@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🍻

[@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.

[@sweetluisp]

Wow....great review Brandon (as always) and congrats on being added to Hodinkee's staff......great pick up Hodinkee, Brandon always produced superb videos!!!

[@mikemush9741]

[@kennetha.1937]

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

[@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 :)

[@123ClassicRock]

Congrats on Hodinkee Brandon!!

[@wojciechfortuna8500]

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

[@SteveDion]

Brandon, what can I say, another great video!

[@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.

[@mb-watches]

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

[@cardinalj]

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

[@JJchin306]

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

[@barryvercueil2346]

Awesome video Brandon. Love your channel.

[@alexchu8434]

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

[@WATCHingJames]

This has quickly become my most wanted grail watch.

[@jameskwon7617]

Great job Brandon. Awesome video on an awesome watch.

[@lingogringo]

Congrats Brandon on this wonderful video and the recognition!! Very happy for you on your success. Please continue to amaze us with your creativity :)

[@gottadrumitup]

TOO GOOD!!! Brandon, the video and the watch! Bravo 👏

[@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 !

[@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 👏🏼

[@DingsGuy]

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

[@vintko]

That was a GREAT review. Well done.

[@ejjrl1ify]

The quality of this production is otherworldly. 👏

[@ebiedog]

Finally a hodinkee host with personality and style

[@ewhulbert]

Congrats on being a Hodinkee contributor Brandon, and excellent review as always. Its not every day that a leading channel adds some random contributor and the production quality actually goes up.

[@speed1281able]

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

[@RobinHood-us7sg]

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

[@edjack1993]

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

[@rabo4ii]

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

[@tods.9947]

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

[@jamiebarrett8095]

Great review. I love Brandon and his enthusiasm for Grand Seiko. One on my favorite reviewers is now on Hodinkee. Incredible!

[@davidpatrick9302]

Fantastic review! Every part of it was on point.

[@stapleboss]

Once again, your camera work and editing are excellent.

[@TheDerisavi]

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

OMG Brandon on Hodinkee! Well done as usual :)

[@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.

[@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? 😂

[@admiralunicorn9256]

Cinematography is one of the best🔥

[@robbiepurvis]

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

[@chasingpham]

Congrats on the purchase! Hoping to add this to my collection.

[@twocentsworth3391]

Haha! Yet another amazing segment from the long lost brother of Super Mario! Always entertaining Bro! Congratulations on the watch, what a piece 👌🏻

[@SV8812]

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

[@rajnil_thakur]

The dial is mesmerizing.

[@danijayyy1]

Congrats, Brandon! Hodinkee found themselves a gem!

[@Tdr-jv2nc]

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

[@mracekproductions]

Awesome review and congrats Brandon perfect fit for sure !

[@SoCalWatchReviews]

💯

[@Gilschmidt89]

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

[@BrandonMenancio]

Heeeyyy! Thanks!

[@chowow.211]

Love the White birch!

[@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.

[@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.

[@actnaturally388]

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

[@flowremix]

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

[@Kbo513]

Oh nice! Brandon Menancio - love his content!

[@jason81949]

Great video with the sunshine, outdoor, activities, bar environment shots! To update, With the Hi-beat~~ how has the accuracy been now 2 years passed ?

[@vincentton4449]

Brandon over here killing it! Keeping it so fun

[@sammyzaf]

Super well shot and creative. Nice video!

[@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!!

[@wilhelmjonsson3971]

Brandon did an amazing job! Perfect review!

[@jeremyestevinho9425]

So so so happy to see this video Love the brand Tanks bro 😎

[@tonylee1835]

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

[@frankespinal2086]

Brandon M!!! This is awesome!!! Couldn’t be a better pair. 💪🏽 wish you the best and can’t wait to see what you do with Hodinkee

[@MrClaudeCrook]

Congrats Brandon!I love your content!

[@ayibeden]

Loved this review and the watch.

[@SuperAJ360]

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

[@nate.or.nodate]

Cool to see Brandon as a Hodinkee Contributor 👌 His content and @youreterrific are on another level 💫💫💫

[@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!

[@defenestratedone]

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

[@blairphelps7215]

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

[@sunshinesuen6998]

vow finally，the hidden gem go public😄

[@mrb317]

Brandon is a natural. Great watch and well presented

[@ilmaestro6582]

Magnificent watch. Magnificent video.

[@filipl5490]

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

[@filipl5490]

4.35 also a really nice outfit

[@altherr1957]

Pure Gold!

[@SoCalWatchReviews]

This man deserves an award 👏

[@bobj8877]

Excellent video, and a great watch too of course. Based on the comments, I would assume the higher ups at Hodinkee would be doing anything they can to get Brandon more involved. I'd love to see him make some appearances on Hodinkee Radio as well!

[@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

[@plmilligan]

A near perfect watch, its dimensions, it's dial & the movement...real nice watch & a great review 😊👍

[@RebirthBeyond]

Excellent video and there was a step up in production quality. Finally. Comparing this to H vids for a couple years ago… The old production does not come close.

[@francoroche4662]

Great adding to the team!
