Best Affordable Watch of 2024!

[@momentumwatch1980]

Just so everyone knows... we have updated the Lume for future productions, and a couple new features and changes!! Brand new (*old*) (see what I did there) watch for us and love the feedback from our community

[@stuartdavies7351]

@@momentumwatch1980 this is great news. Will you be improving the bezel action also? (I’ve put my name down for the waiting list.)

[@5alasmashy]

Can you also make the hands color around the lume the same color as the case (dark greyesh PVD)? Also please make the digital display smaller, like retro.

[@window3640]

@@5alasmashy Yes, that will be out next.

[@mbnv99234]

You have my interest. I already bought one of the original release Solar UDT’s. If the new one will have a backlight for the display or a count down timer I will hands down by another one haha Any hints if I’m close with these two additions ?

For less than 100 quid more you can get a Seiko Arnie. So get the Arnie.

[@octaviussludberry9016]

Quite. Or the Casio Arnie for less than £200, for the fat-wristed people.

[@roverguy78]

This is a very nice update to an 80’s classic. My UDT has no QC issues, and is a very solid watch. Improved lume will be nice, but I’m satisfied as is. The larger LCD makes the watch quite unique. Great matte PVD. Bezel action is very solid on mine.

[@GarryJakes-gl9sw]

Over the weekend I had to say goodbye to my pulsar anidigi diver bought 40 years ago . Salt water had entered the case last time I wore it surfing. I have deconstructed the watch saving everything apart from the movement/ module in the hope of finding a replacement unit sometime in the future. It will need a new crystal due to deep scratching but everything else will be good to go .

[@chuckcribbs3398]

This channel is addictive.

[@lancemclean5700]

Got it love it. After a quick qa/qc related swap out I am now wearing it pretty much daily. I also have the Sea Quartz and I find this sits better on the wrist. Growing up in the 80’s I could not say no to these. Btw even though the lume is not as good as the sea quartz I do not have a hard time telling time in the middle of the night.

[@momentumwatch1980]

Thank you for the Video Russ! Maybe the wife needs a different watch from our collections to review?

When you hold them up side-2-side I really like the UDT, looks class! Awesome vids man!!!!!

[@antwontwontwon2378]

Splendid watch, I just wish it was cheaper, but that's with everything I own!

[@garethsigrist8714]

I love that Momentum are doing an ana/digi! I do agree that it would make more sense for the red on the pushers to show when they’re unscrewed rather than screwed in though. Would have been nice if they could have incorporated a backlight or stronger lume but otherwise loads to like here. Awesome show MWC!

[@kylesalisbury6789]

They had me at Rambo I love my Magnum PI. It looks great. Fits comfy and each time I wear it I feel like I am a kid again. I will be ordering this to keep supporting the company though this one might just go into the collection and not see much wrist time.

[@stuartdavies7351]

Hello Russ - I had a Bucherer branded UTD based on the Chronosport which I stupidly flipped around 12-years ago. Helova watch! I sincerely hope Momentum take on board the negatives here - sorting out the bezel action should be simple enough and imho is more important that the weak lume otherwise the watch would just feel cheapened thus not worth the asking price.

[@mannycuellar7426]

👏👍 Been looking for another ani digi after my GA2100

[@chrisdenning8905]

Going to have to agree with you on the red ring on the pushers.. sorry Canada, but the Germans it right, with the Nomos Club Sport Neomatic which shows a red ring when the crown is unscrewed. Great video!

[@eatkosherbacon]

This may be a hot take, but on its own merits and without movie association, I think the UDT is better looking than the Arnie

[@eternalmemri]

Not a better feeling than traveling in the middle of nowhere for work and listening to some MWC😎🙌🏼

[@THEMADWATCHCOLLECTOR]

All the best to you my friend! Hope you get back home or somewhere familiar soon!

[@TCL_Dasler]

The prices are not horrible at all. Very good value it seems. And bloody hell it looks so damn Badass. I mean, this could match a gshock, decentish Lume, ceramic bezel,M, 200m WR? But it needs more impactful hands. But it needs a backlight

[@TempusDan]

Just picked up a 38mm solar diver SBDN075. It's not related to this video, but I have to say this is a cool looking watch. I still like the Arnie better, I don't like the side crowns on left on the arnie vs the original but that's just me being picky.

[@monsta3038]

They were very popular in late eighties I had several great watch

[@sandylman8219]

I like it but no backlight for the LCD screen is a crime! Also is the LCD screen off centre?

[@mattkinsella9856]

Cool watch but I think I'd be more interested at £180-200. I feel like there's slightly better ani-digi options at the £300-400 price point. I recently looked at a Seiko Prospex PADI Solar for (I think) about 350 quid which just seems way more watch for the money.

[@markhyde7217]

Love the Matt bezel and the overall look of it to be honest .

[@adk7962]

Very cool. This one isn’t quite my bag (I’m not really into ani/digi), but they seem to have some other very cool watches. I especially like their field style GMT. Thanks!

[@TheSimTetuChannel]

Green rings on the buttons and crown, problem solved!

[@Madmaxthundrdome]

[@shambollock6861]

Mad to think I’ve been a fan since 5K subs. Congrats on your success so far

[@MyRetroWatches]

I like it but I don’t at the same time. Like that it’s an ana-Digi but bezel action , mismatched lume and maybe the size too, 80s watches were not massive. For £333 it’s a bit of a stretch but I do appreciate what this company is trying to do.

[@dunderhay9169]

It's a good looking watch and it is great that the movement controls both hands and LCD, I hate ani-digitals where the analogue movement is showing a different time to the digital. Good review 👍

[@S-Ltd1000]

Thanks but I'll stick with my Arnie.👌

[@mell3109]

Looks good! If the quality was a bit higher I think this would be a great design

[@mrmagoo.3678]

[@joshuagrote9170]

There’s another review of this watch from a channel that’s actually independent called Working Man’s Watches. I’d trust that one more. He isn’t anywhere near as complimentary (or insane).

[@edwinandianeutube]

great video as usual. don’t think this watch is for me, but can appreciate it. on a side note, didn’t like the slam on Vostok. keep up the good work!

[@gunnerman1880]

I really like it mwc military looking but I do like the black matt look. Maybe those things will be ironed out btt it comes out. Also depends on the price.

Cool watch but, 350 USD means 8 Casio, so I choose the casios. Greetings from Coyhaique, Chile.

[@typerightseesight]

Depends on what you call affordable. But, the grb300 is only like $285 and gives you dials other watches wont.

[@THEMADWATCHCOLLECTOR]

True my friend but it’s bulky and ugly. It’s not versatile in the slightest. This bridges the gap between practical weekender and outdoor sporting !

[@typerightseesight]

@@THEMADWATCHCOLLECTOR Have you seen one in person? When I bought it I thought it was going to be but when I got my hands on it (no pun intended). The dials are teenie tiny you can barely read em until you get used to it. hahaha

The LCD is a let down. It looks like high quality, but still feels like a beater Casio with tenth of this watch's price. Their other watches in this price point look way better without the LCD.
