    Generally i don't care about sweeping quartz but here it makes a lot of sense. I slowed the video and unless i'm mistaken the seconds hand is hitting marking in the chapter ring! I'd say this is a quasi-chronograph accuracy in terms of reading. Very cool.

    Just received one of these and I think it's great. Put it on a textured black rubber strap and it looks terrific. I love the "sweeping" quartz movement as well.

    It's nicely made 👍 Militado is doing a good job again and again ! Thanks for the video.

    Wearing mine just now. Great watch. I don't like the strap but this watch is a real strap monster.

    It’s an insane amount of watch you get for the money. Militado seems to have come of no where. Thanks for the great review!

      As far as I understand they used to be Baltany distrubutors but nicked their designs and sold them under their own brand name. Not great practice but I'm sure there's a lot of this going on with Chinese brands. I don't care as long as they keep producing these great budget watches.

    Take a Tandorio for about 50€ on Ali Ex with a Seiko NH35a movement and you'll be happy for the rest of your life! 👍🏼😎

      ​@@HorizontalvertigoI think they've made improvements with their claimed water resistance. I have a Tandorio and I've worn it in the shower and went swimming with it and I've had no problems. Tandorio doesn't have very good lume but that's the only flaw I've seen with Militado as well.

    Great review, finally a decent Murph homage that gets the dial, hands and case about right, decent value too 👍

    @MPiKMS72 Před měsícem +1

    That Is pretty cool. Particularly for the money. I wish they'd use a better lume bgw9 or something with more longevity. The Broad Arrow is a bit weird too, I don't mind it but I don't understand why they're using it either. They really should come up with their own vintage inspired logo or emblem.

    For my 16cm/6,3inch wrist the 38mm case diameter is about the maximum. Unfortunately many brands putting to long lugs even on 36mm watches, which is the real problem for those ones who have thin wrists, IMHO. This model has nicely short lug distance finally. I always loved the simple and aestetic look of the "Murph", but the original is not for me, and the homages were not right here or there. I think now this is the closest to my taste.

    Thanks so much for this review 😁 I'm thinking about buying this watch, but just want to know if the lume in the hands match the numbers? Hard to tell in the video and other pictures I've seen. Thanks in advance ☺

    • @EscapeWheel
      @EscapeWheel  Před měsícem

      if you can't tell in review will you be able to tell in person ? :)
      for real, there is a difference, the hands are lighter than the dial by a bit, but the surrounds on the hands separate them enough that the difference isn't very noticeable.
