The Orient Watches 'Capital' Wristwatch: The Full Nick Shabazz Review

[@annieetc.563]

“around 40 millimeters exactly” is a really odd phrase for a scientist to say

[@thebeemd1470]

It's a "specific approximation", I think.

[@markprice6911]

Nick, for god's sake. When you show your wife an expensive item, we want them to think it doesn't cost much. My wife still thinks single malt scotch costs $30, cigars cost $4 and a H & K 9mm costs the same as a Ruger. You're going to mess this up for all of us. Be more careful, please.

[@Greg-qw7xl]

Super video! I applauded for $2.00 👏

[@unknownriderinbound]

"Because, 80 bucks." Now your speaking my language!

[@jannovotny9630]

Nice watch and great review. Have you thought about reviewing some kind of Citizen stiletto? Very thin, relatively affordable and solar - seems to check a lot of boxes.

[@Toogoodtobetrue458]

The date window is oddly placed

[@carpandrei7493]

I really appreciate the love you show quartz watches!

[@EAS573182]

Nick - been watching your channel for years now. Love your take on knives and watches! I actually bought a Casio Oceanus after watching your review and absolutely love it. I would like your thoughts on the Orient Kamasu, if you don't mind. I am very close to buying the green dial version, but just need that push over the edge. Thanks for all you do!

[@simong6855]

A new review from Nick. That's a beautiful thing ;)

[@12stringblues]

I have the Orient symphony 2 which is a very similar watch it has the same dial design with the dolphin hands. The big difference is that it has an Automatic movement (which I prefer) and Sapphire crystal for superior scratch resistance. I have really like the Symphony 2 it looks great with a veriey of straps and you can use it for casual or dress-up occasions. The Symphony runs about $99-120 and I recommend it. Thanks for the Capital review.

@@davidnicholson6901 yes, lol auto correct ...

[@craiglachman1379]

Thanks

[@mellypro]

Good to see that you are getting more into watches, Nick! Looking forward to more reviews

[@charliedoyle118]

Someday you need to go in reverse order. Ugly, bad, great, and good. Completely just bash a watch then gently build up its self esteem.

[@jkstdstang]

Charlie Doyle Charlie my long lost uncle!

[@kingjgregory]

This would be much more compelling without the day on the dial. I don't usually mind a date on dress watches, but the day seems a little out of place.

[@d3xmeister]

KingMaker Day and Date are absolutely must have for me for everyday watches, but on this watch and its purpose, 100% would be much better without any of the two complications

[@pkbaker100]

KingMaker and while they’re at that take “Water Resist” off of the dial.

[@LamarFaciane]

Nice watch, I think the handset is too short.

[@ricktemmen6272]

I agree that collecting too many Quartz watches can become a battery replacement dilemma. Really nice review Nick. I would spend a little more for the Automatic version of this watch.

[@georgebeckford728]

Bought a quartz as well, a Grand Seiko SBGX261

[@pitiedvod]

I wear a dress watch 4 or 5 days out of the year, so that works nicely for me. Right now I have a similar priced, though slightly smaller diameter, Bulova watch on and it works fine for telling the time and nothing makes me cry more than a big hefty 14mm thick sports watch with a suit, despite how nice it looks.

[@chefduane3742]

The Capital is such a great watch and a great value that I bought two of them. One in gold and one in stainless to wear depending upon attire. Best of both worlds.

[@divinewind86ful]

9:21 Thats what He/She said?

[@rashid_art]

Michael Minehart you are a hero

[@pkbaker100]

Michael Minehart why would “He” say that?😂

[@divinewind86ful]

I don’t judge preferences 👍🏼

[@hugedickerinokripperino5299]

Michael Minehart gayyy

[@UsernameInvalidTHIS]

40mm is too big for that kind of watch IMO. One would think that when the movement physically can't output enough torque to drive a second hand long enough to reach the markers, you might ask "is the dial a bit too large?"

[@edwardsauve4836]

Good looking timepiece , classic design , will never look dated . Great price !

[@thomash4578]

Or it will always look dated and retro Which may be a good thing. This is a brand new "antique" watch :)

[@thomash4578]

If only Nick would tell us the price once in a while

[@ClarenceKansas]

I still think Orient is underrated based on value for money Love my Ray and bambino on a bracelet. Saving up for a Kamasu.

[@davidnicholson6901]

Nice review Nick, as ever. Off topic: I would be interested in a review from you on the Bertucci field watch A-2T in titanium, quartz with a 10 year Li battery (now that is a good thing) and sapphire crystal. Price around $200.

[@MrBacchus18]

Better than MVMT or DW in my opinion.

[@davidmarshall7752]

"It sounds like something you play with a broomstick".

[@cloudcleaver23]

Any other titanium-solar-quartz-radio watches on the horizon for reviews? I'm still in the market for one.

[@thomash4578]

I would love to see Nick review the Citizen f900. I like mine. It GPS synced, which I like a lot

[@ZayneCristian585]

Sure it’s not perfect like you said, but the second hand on Orient quartz movements hit the chapter rings far better than most comparable Swiss-made offerings which are 3x the price. The classic and contemporary line are underrated and such a great value.

[@robertlacasse]

Nice review Nick!

[@the_9ent]

There’s a lot to like with this watch. Looks. Cost. Dimensions. Winner 👍

[@valueink]

The ticking is loud like Timex

[@silvanigra]

Your voice always takes me by surprise! :))

[@sealevelbear]

A smaller case/dial, or longer hands, but in this proportion it is just........ no.

[@mriegger]

Looks like an enlarged version of my Orient Star Classic for a quarter the price.

[@Tsar239]

So...Apple Watch Series 5???

[@jamesbarisitz4794]

All alone here with the first like people. Maybe they need to add "Express" under Orient? C'mon don't leave Nick and me here by ourselves. Eighty bucks... Step right up. Hello?

[@jackzhang5431]

maybe a railway watch. Like Omega railmaster. They can name the model express?

[@davethebarber62920]

Nice "The Office" reference.

[@jkstdstang]

Love orient watches! I own a couple of their automatics and they offer probably the best bang for the buck imo. This is the first time I've seen this particular model as I don't generally care for quartz watches but they are good for some occasions. It would make a good daily beater. I appreciate you bringing the capital out into view. For the price of a fossil you can have an Orient, an attractive one at that, and it won't drain you of too much of your capital.

[@zipstring]

The second hand (non)alignment is annoying. Take it off.

[@thomash4578]

Nick. By aligning the hands with respect to the sun, you can tell which way is North. This means that this watch can help (Puts on Batman mask) Orient you Eh? Eh? But I digress

[@NickShabazz]

Amazing

[@musicmotorskate7540]

$110.00 bucks in 2021, still probably a bargain.

[@thomash4578]

This is fake news!! There is no way The Nick can do a "full" review in just 15 minutes

[@alfredolie5793]

Oh no, water! 😅

[@russellharris5072]

Well Nick,am i getting old and tired?I have quite a few watches with indices rather than at least a numeral at the cardinal points and indices are beginning to look like an easy out for the designers,a kind of get out of jail free card.I have a $19.00 watch from china and it has very attractive printed numerals AND an automatic movement,surely for $80.00 orient could have given us a little more eye candy.................................

[@Ryomichi]

Your Citizen BM8180 has 100m water resist for $100. I think this Orient watch would be better if they invest another $20 into making a better water resistant watch.

[@knoxknifemods]

Nick - are you pro-Office Reunion?

[@clintonlewis1261]

😀

[@eagleeye111pindi7]

You talking too fast.

[@mountainhobo]

Day date window on a dress watch is like a neck tattoo on a pretty girl -- cheapens the image in one glance.
