Who Really Needs a Moon Phase? - The echo/neutra Averau 39 Moon Phase - Worn & Wound Review

[@mrbookends]

Features an incredibly highly reflective coating in case you need to use it as a mirror! - EDIT: I was cringing at your description of how to set the moon phase...... do it by look? Set the date to the day BEFORE new or full (pick one closest to your current date, as they are the easiest to correctly set in the aperture), adjust the moon by click (if it's a true 59 tooth gear for 29 1/2 days) to one click prior to your set point (new or full), each click should be one full day of moon travel, then roll the hands forward through the day and make sure the date and moon jump forward; then roll the hands through to your current date. Depending on the caliber, you can also set the time to your local new/full moon phase and make your click or pusher adjustments accordingly. A true 59 tooth moon phase gear will need one full click adjustment every 33 phases; do the math from your initial adjustment! Or you could just go here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jqO0dJyPrqiBhMk

A moonphase watch helps me to avoid werevolves.

Great review! I think you really nailed a great balance between presenting A LOT of information concisely while keeping it feeling conversational. Hopefully you do more like this. I’ve been keeping tabs on this watch since it was in development, and while was skeptical of the moon phase back then, I do appreciate how they’ve modernized the complication. The ambitions of microbrands are starting to be matched by their execution, which is great to see.

I think people forgot that our livelihood and earth in general works around moon phases and lunar cycles. Breeding seasons, pollination, ocean tides, etc .. just because we live in enclosed boxes called homes doesn't mean there isn't something called nature outdoors. Ocean goers, fishermen, divers, sailors, marine biologists, all require in some form or the other, readings about the current moon phase. I won't start a marine biology 101 here, but moon phase readings do matter to a certain group of people and I completely understand why you would think it's a gimmick if you're unaware of such people who require it.

Great review! I recently discovered E/N and I think they do great stuff. I also love the manual Averau small secs. They have announced the Cristallo, a beautiful divers watch that looks like a real Sea Dweller killer... Looking forward to watch the review on that one.

[@Stockholmspatriot]

Thanks for this great review, been looking for an affordable moon phase and ended getting the white faced one on a rubber strap.

[@jasonmccormack8993]

Excellent review! It helped me decide to purchase the blue variety (complemented with an aftermarket midnight blue NATO strap). I especially liked the “out and about” scenes getting coffee and such. That helped me see it in a natural setting. Thanks again!

[@alter7181]

Just came across this watch. What a great approach for integrating my favorite complication. Also, nice to see Gowanus Brooklyn in a video.

[@shakchatthapa6664]

nice video. was cool to see your updated intro and all. and good to see more than just your hands. cool watch too. keep it going!

[@sheldorleconcher8870]

This is the first time I've seen one of your shows and I quite liked it. Interesting watch that I did not know about but will be on my radar now. Thanks!

[@Milofchg]

Moon phase complications are perfect for us astronomy 🔭 enthusiasts. Comes in handy when it’s time to bust our telescopes

[@scottgregory885]

Hi thanks for the detailed analysis. Would you provide closer views of the watch when discussing its details?

[@storminmormondd]

Have this watch and it’s great. I use the moon phase for star photography. I can see at a glance if the moon will produce light pollution or not. Haha still useless in the grand scheme of things. Great review

[@juniorjohnson5961]

Is the watch a real moon phase ?

[@tomhawk733]

I live in a country that has a national holiday every full moon: it's actually pretty useful to know when the full moon will be for me 😅

[@MatthewMorse]

I keep seeing these pop up and I’m super curious about them. I think a 39 wears a little small for me at about a 7.5” wrist so I haven’t jumped on one yet, but I’m close to letting my curiosity get the better of me. Great review! Aesthetically, this is such a neat piece IMO.

[@kumbackquatsta]

are there any interesting ceramic cased/strapped watches like the j12?

[@tripreed]

Although my taste lean more towards the traditional, this is a very cool little watch, and as noted in the video, I appreciate the original design that they've come up with.

[@C.C._TJ_Jason]

Little known fact: moon phases are really impactful to flying aircraft on night vision goggles. There are certain times in the lunar cycle when the level of illumination is just right, times when it’s insufficient, and times when it’s too intense. Phase of the moon, as well as time of moonrise and moonset were always published on our daily flight schedule.

[@ngohung49]

The textile straps look great 👍

[@michaelwf3893]

Thank you for the video I’m looking to purchase one of these at the end of the month I’m just curious what is the weight like on bracelet…??

[@chrislasagna]

I like knowing the moon phase for astrophotography but it is definitely a niche

[@menssana88]

Someone who is aware of the several biological and therefore sociological effects the different moonphases have on us humans.

[@threethrushes]

Is there a watch which shows the sun moving around the Earth?

[@jorgeacevedo7934]

Can you do a review on dave berghold watches? Would really like to see this.

[@oOoScarecrow31oOo]

Indeed, not everyday you’ve got to see a sporty/tool watch with moon-phase ! 😳 I’m really not use to it, so I still don’t know what to think about it. 🤔 Still, it’s a great modern design. They probably just release the 1st moonphase 2.0 😎 ... and I don’t see many moonphase at this price range.

[@oOoScarecrow31oOo]

... the blue version is really striking. 🤩😎

[@emirsaracevic]

canvas strap makes it cheap...other then that very nice execution

[@theoldsargesays6176]

Echo/Neutra watches can be ordered with other straps/bracelets. Check out their site, there's a drop down menu under each watch, you can select different ones and get a look at what it looks like on the watch. Thisnone in particular, I'd lean towards the "Black Vegan" strap. It looks great on this reference.

[@v1d300]

It is a beautifully designed watch. Has a lot of information but does not shout any of it. I am new to this brand and seeing their website they have some really good watches.

[@andreimadasov4955]

Since you're greatly talking about it, especially about the complication, I'd greatly appreciate if you'd show the freaking watch.

[@angelmoreno2541]

Is good for fishing!!

[@nintendokings]

Looks like quite a lack of AR coating

[@zillsburyy1]

looks nice

[@causeandefect8252]

Moon phase is not irrelevant if you're a sailor.

[@rickywei1360]

Nice look, design, and movement, but not the price. $600 or so will be more reasonable.

[@arnavramanujam9606]

Honestly this price is quite reasonable. A well finished watch with and Elaboré Sellita movement and a complication to go with it

[@nigelward5494]

This guy doesn't like the moon.

[@michaelkilbride2927]

Werewolves find it helpfull

[@kumbackquatsta]

waxing gibbon lol
