The 2022 Aquastar Deepstar is one of a kind, sort of

A look at the new 2022 dive chronograph watch from Aquastar and Rick Marei.

[@UnspokenBurdens]

I am continuously enamored by how easy going yet focused without being overly critical you are in all your videos. You really come across as a guy who just likes watches and wants to check them out without taking it too serious. Truly a breath of fresh air in the KZbin watch space that is very much needed.

[@YoureTerrific]

That’s me. I appreciate the recognition.

[@josesaurooo]

Your videos are so good that I watch them start to end even when I dont like the watch being reviewed.

[@michaelfierman3256]

Great to finally see a review of this watch, especially the blue dial since most of the IG stuff is the grey or black. Also the first explanation of that incomprehensible bezel! I kept wondering what that normal was all about. Loved this episode!

[@YoureTerrific]

"Normal" but definitely not normal.

[@BrittPearceWatches]

As always…. This video just made me happy! I always learn so much from your videos !

[@Mike51689]

Hi Brittany 👋🏼

[@BeerNye]

Fantastic video! Awesome to see it get your spectacular treatment! I have the 40.5mm version with the green dial, and have taken it diving, where it performs swimmingly. Fun fact- you can use the chronograph underwater.

[@YoureTerrific]

Hell yeah!

[@BobbyLegs]

Awesome review. Evan, your review game is off the charts. No one on KZbin is doing it better than you. Great stuff.

[@YoureTerrific]

Too kind.

[@gyang333]

Good call out. I probably have undiagnosed ADD and can't make it through videos longer than the Tim Mosso reviews (and even some of those I fast forward). The review style here keeps my attention the entire video.

[@deskdiverdanny]

I think you might be my favorite watch youtuber right now! Stellar job (like always) and what a cool watch!

[@noboxnopaper9018]

Fantastic as always, Evan. You might be the first one actually mentioning about the non-tapering bracelet purposely chosen to better balance out the relatively heavier watch head. For instance, Damasko bracelet doesn't have any taper nor folding clasp. But it just works so well somehow.

[@dingodave3966]

Again you give us an informative and knowledgeable review. Good on you Evan. Really like this one, too much watch for me however.

[@YoureTerrific]

Thanks, Dave

[@henkvandebeek7921]

Great stuff! Refreshing to see something other than the usual big brand stuff

[@YoureTerrific]

That's what I'm here for.

[@UnbiasedBoss]

Yessss! Man I can't explain the jolt of energy and excitement I get every time I see you uploaded.

[@Kyle-xk4ke]

Your music taste is impeccable my der friend

[@ThePrice425]

Completely addicted to this channel!

[@YoureTerrific]

I’ll try to keep you from withdrawal.

[@Nefville]

I am so glad that LJP* movements are finally making it into microbrand watches. Zelos used one, now this brand is... ETA cutting off outside movement sales is one of the best things to happen to affordable watches since I've been collecting. Brands like Damasko and Oris have gone in house and fantastic (Citizen owned) Miyota and LJP* movements are replacing the 2824 and 7750's. So glad indeed.

[@gyang333]

LJP dawg

[@Nefville]

@@gyang333 You're right, thank you

[@cjmcaulay]

“I’ll tell you: I don’t know.” Haha, perfect.

[@davidoleary6631]

Big and bulky but not without charm. It won't be going on my dream list but it's good to know more about the brand. Great video Evan, keep doing what you're doing - those subscriber numbers are climbing.

[@gqwarren]

How come nobody ever went ga ga over the "Tiffany blue" box? 😆

[@eyeheartsushi2212]

LOL

[@jorgsofi]

Great watch. You won't see many other people, if any, wearing it at your local watch club meeting, which is a plus for us watch geeks who enjoy seeing something different. I've got the same exact watch, but without the chrono function. Looks just as amazing, and is less expensive. I get compliments from strangers every time I wear it. Personally, I've never found a need to use the chrono function on a watch, which is why I don't own any. Thanks for another terrific review.

[@MrJonasWar]

I watched all of your videos. Some on multiple occasions. Very high quality stuff. I digg it.

[@YoureTerrific]

I appreciate that!

[@pedramfirooztash8452]

You really do a great job of reviews….well done 👏🏻

[@superudi]

Love your writing rhythm, man. Shalom from Tel Aviv 🤙🏼

[@YoureTerrific]

Shalom, my dude

[@evano8312]

Love the variety in this channel and your name lol

[@YoureTerrific]

You have the best name. I’m jealous.

[@CraigG21]

Interesting to hear your theory about the thicker bracelet better balancing the watch on wrist. I’ve long thought the same exact thing regarding the bracelet on the Omega Seamster 300m Professional.

[@Mike51689]

“Even a 1.5mm change in length or width can make a noticeable difference” That’s. What. She. Said.

[@TheEzandy]

Thank you for taking some wrist shots with this watch. I have the same wrist circumference, so I appreciate a 'hypothetical' of how this might look on me. So want to pull the trigger on this, but it is a chunky boi. More to ponder!

[@EaGilgamesh]

Rick Marei the necromancer LOL

[@YoureTerrific]

🤷🏻‍♂️

[@sinepari9160]

The II is on my wishlist.. if they offered it in titanium, I would already own one.

[@alflimabr]

Very good!I'd like to see your review of the other Aquastar watch, the Solo Tempo, that I bought and was quite disappointed with.

[@Honraxxx]

Cool watch. Just not $3,779 on a bracelet cool.

[@davidbcg286]

This has such a strong Zenith El Primero Revival vibe... :) I wish more micro brands would pick this up so I can finally afford one! lol

[@HRM.H]

I will eventually end up buying one of these. Love the design

[@NickNick-id8sb]

Really good looking watch. As said in the video it has really hard competition. Personally I'd pick a German watch over this one. Something like the Tutima M2 chronograph or the Sinn EZM 13.1. Overall great video, nice watch.

[@wingeren]

Definitely an oddball piece, but with its own charm. Not exactly intended for the mass market. Nice review.

[@YoureTerrific]

Agreed on all points.

[@WatchesBeAwesome]

Great info, history, and review. Thank you!

[@justthepip]

I've literally never heard anyone explain one of these 'no deco' bezels more clearly. But I've also just forgotten everything you just said, per your instruction.

[@YoureTerrific]

No legal liability!

[@jamesblonde2271]

I do like these. Very 70's cool

[@taterporkchop]

Love the Deepstar. But at 40.5mm it's on the small side (OK; the "Too small" side) for my slightly larger than 8 inch wrist. 43mm/44mm; I'd buy one. Doesn't look like it'll happen. Which is too baf because this watch is lovely.

[@chrishennemeyer7276]

Back in Nov. 202, I ordered the Deep Star II, about a grand cheaper and significantly smaller. The company has missed their delivery date and "communications" are spotty to be generous. But fingers crossed.

[@thewatchmission7693]

I'd forgive any of its legibility flaws, that is one hot watch!

[@omarmb1539]

Love classic intro

[@gyang333]

Wow, I was kind of curious what the lineage of Aquastar was (but not bothered enough to look it up lol). Interesting that it traces its history to Jean Richard.

[@saikiranmushkara8955]

Perfect colour on the watch-box for this channel :P

[@YoureTerrific]

I thought so too. A nice surprise.

[@saikiranmushkara8955]

@@YoureTerrific Have you seen the new Farer Aquamatic diver in the exact same Teal colour as this box? Can't wait to see that and the other 3 variants on your channel!!!

[@asdfyxcv1100]

almost bought one but then realized dimensions are off at 37mm diameter yet 12mm thickness

[@supportdesk7703]

Still have a Benthos.. although parts are horrible to find.. impossible to work on and most watchmakers do not want to touch it..

[@japd7897]

Such a cool, beautiful, nice ... watch!!!. How can they achieve 200m WR in a chronograph with no screw-in pushers?, if that is achievable, Why other brands don´t do it?.

[@IamRolling]

Love my Deepstar ii

[@nbcuni]

It's gorgeous but their website now says $1000 higher than you're saying here. ;(

[@TheAmericanStranger1]

It's different, but not on my radar. Looks great on your 7 inch/ 18 cm wrist though. :)

[@underachievingwatchcollect1878]

A watch for true watch geeks 😎!

[@markgoudsblom]

Love this!!!

[@A_Dude_And_His_Watch78]

Cool watch.

[@hakanskog391]

Don´t you forget to talk about Aquastar Regatta ? Not only dive watches where made by Aquastar. The regatta models are well known, or ? You are even showing a couple of models in the video without talking about them.....

[@eyeheartsushi2212]

Me too

Correct me if i'm wrong, you said your wrist is 7 1/2 inches, right? (love this, never gets old! 😂😂😂) Be well, cheers.

[@YoureTerrific]

Banned for life!

[@stavros_katsopr]

@@YoureTerrific Damned??? Can i still watch? (heard hell has windows, to make you suffer more... 😉) [ "hell has windows" aka inner joke for (tech...) geeks] 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@rodsalvador3608]

Funky! Watcha think of the resurrected Nivada Grenchen brand?

[@YoureTerrific]

I like what I’ve seen so far.

[@pistonburner6448]

Well, yeah, but the Tissot Heritage 1973 is Hubert Bonisseur de La Bath, OSS 117's watch so that's pretty unbeatable... Only the CFB Manero AutoDate on John Wick's wrist can beat it!

[@mnt6458]

very nice watch and unique look but height is a deal breaker for me!

[@mattmcdonald641]

JEAN JACKET!

[@YoureTerrific]

Heck yeah

[@JosepHayes]

Another YoureTerrific video, another watch added to the wish list. It’s a dance as old as time…

[@jlg395]

Thanks for the caseback shots! Oh...oh, wait...

[@istvantoth7431]

Unidirectional or bidirectional winding?

[@marvinberwart]

Interesting, but quite easy to find vintage. Matter of taste, but I find the "real" one has much more charm.

[@seanlingham5254]

Too thick. Need the Deepstar II chrono at 39 or 40 mm.

[@johnmonachelli5256]

Cool watch at 1500

[@m.e.p.r]

Some of the best whiskeys and wines in the world are blends. The same goe's with some watches, but unfortunately this is not one of them IMO

[@PoltergeistWorks]

Not a fan, too busy and all over the place, at a quick glance looked more like something the soviets would've made, not the swiss...

[@davidward5225]

Nice watch, too expensive

Thicker than a double double animal style and darn near the cost of a used Pelagos…pass

[@totkamacedonia1337]

I have a deepstar 2 with a misalligned bezel. 3 emails later - ZERO response! DO NOT BUY FROM THESE GUYS!

[@fmartmart8099]

charming but ugh. doesn't seem like, wearable.

[@adolf-8834]

Garbage of a watch, at that price. Insane.

[@PaoloZucchetti]

sinn is better

[@UltraDoug]

Sweet fancy Moses, that is a seriously bUsY watch. 🫤 the dial for sure, but the whole thing, there’s a lot going on.

[@gmshadowtraders]

16.8mm thick, what an absolute joke. And you can't even read the time due to the overbearing sub-dial to the right. My god man, who okayed this abomination.
