    Big thank you again to Hywel for allowing me to have a go at his brand new Helm. The Vanuatu is just how I remember it. Big, chunky and fabulous, but now about 1/3 lighter than before. There is nothign that can touch this design, build quality, and attention to detaifl from the brand owner, for the money. End of. Cheers, Jody

      Reviews like this are gaining Helm more and more customers. Received my Komodo 2 weeks ago after almost a 2 year wait. The watch is amazingly done for the money for sure! Currently # 971 for the Miyako, and #6395 for Vanuatu. Roughly 8 months and then almost 4 years. Worth the wait? I would say yes.
      My Komodos NH35 movment has been crazy accurate I'm the 2 weeks I've had it. Hasn't lost or gained a second as of yet.
      Good luck to all with the long wait ! Cheers

    I've had my Vanuatu for a few years now and I opted for the stainless bezel addon. It doesn't seem to come up in reviews very often but it looks really sharp and it's quite easy to swap them out. They also offer this with the Titanium version. So far there hasn't been any negative effects on the bezel action and I've switched mine several times.They really are a fantastic watch.

  • @rogerd9405
    @rogerd9405 Před 2 lety +9

    So, I didn't realize the the San Martin version was a homage. I just saw it and really liked it, so I bought it.
    The thing I can say about the San Martin version is that it's smaller than the Helm. The case is more like 40mm and the strap width is 20mm. 5 years ago me probably would of gone for the larger Helm but the current me is happy that he accidentally bought a homage that is sized down from the original. Also, one of the reasons I bought it is because it has a Miyota 8315 in it as I wanted to try something different from the standard NH35. As usual, the build quality is very good with the San Martin.

    • @MarkusGebauer

      Have to admit I stumbled upon the San Martin before I saw the Helm, so I got myself the Chinese watch. The San Martin is great. It is one edgy, toolish, heavy watch, especially compared to this titanium version. I like it very much the way it is. The Miyota 8315 has got a hacking second, 60 hours power reserve, handles well and runs accurate. I prefer the Helm's dial detail over the San Martin's, though. Thank you for your interesting review!

    I am on the waiting list for a Ti Vanuatu #263 and a Miyako #1614. Currently I have a Khuraburi, a stainless Vanuatu and two Komodos. I must say that I prefer the waiting list as the previous "first come, first served" was awful. The available supply of watches in that sale were snatched up in mere minutes. I kid you not. One sale lasted about three minutes. That was the reasoning for the waiting list. I know it sucks but it is what it is.
    You will not be disappointed when you receive your watch. I love the brand. I think it is the best bang for your buck.

    I bought the Original Vanuatu over 3 years ago after watching your review. I love that watch! It’s interesting to me to see the shift in release style. HELM have the waiting list and most people seem to enjoy that because they have a guaranteed spot. Whereas Zelos have kept the first come, first served model that HELM had originally used. A lot of consumers seem not to like this model, but I thought it was the most fair & exciting way to release a run of watches. Regardless I’m waiting for a Khuraburi, number 2,500 or so, and I’ve been waiting for a year already.

Its just as at home in the sun but something about it just feels right in the harsher conditions of the year. Note, I've been wearing mine for almost a year at work around trucks, loading and unloading daily, using tools, fabricating manual labor in general. not a mark on it.

    I got my Steel Vanuatu back when Helm was still doing the first come first served method...before the wait list....love it so much, great watch. Helm makes great watches...I decided to go on the wait list for the Kuraburi Ti and have had it for a couple of weeks now...another great watch by Helm. One of my co-workers liked it so much he decided to check Helm out....he's now on multiple wait lists lol....he's at about 8075 for the Komodo!

    Received the email from Helm that my number came up back in October last year and received my Ti in November. Felt like I had won the lottery!! I LOVE this watch and it’s my daily. I have a small wrist but due to its light weight find it comfy and it doesn’t wear as chunky as the looks would suggest. Put your name down on the waitlist, you won’t regret it!!

    Hey Jodi, great video as always. The San Martin was pretty good I'll tell you that. I have to say that I never handled a Helm before and it does sound like a very very good deal but a two year waitlist for a 350 dollar watch is a bit too much. Keep it up and thanks for incognito shout out.

  • @jSatch1

    Just received the newest version (2?) of the Ti this week (6/22) via their lottery. The outer bezel is Ti, but the teeth are now a steel insert on the underside of the bezel to alleviate the Ti ratcheting feel. I don't know which version you reviewed, but easy to see if you pop the bezel off. And BTW, Helm sells replacement bezels if you have the older version. Helm (Matt) has been an incredible company to deal with, in my experience. Very long wait times but on the flip side it's like dealing with a small Mom and Pop store in terms of service and communication. Thanks for your informative and entertaining videos Jody.

  • @michaelkaliski7651
    @michaelkaliski7651 Před 2 lety

    The whole point with Titanium is the feel rather than lightness or susceptibility to scratches. Titanium instantly feels warm on the wrist due to the metal’s poor thermal conduction and so more comfortable, particularly in colder climates.

    • @7CharlesV
      @7CharlesV Před 2 lety

      Never knew that about that characteristic of Ti! I personally like the chonky feel and the weight of SS, but I can see that appeal of the immediate comfort of titanium, and yes, in cold temps the stainless will be a constant reminder. Time then for a change-out to a leather or one of Helm's nice canvas straps!

    #1581 on the list for the KOMODO. I started trying to get my hands on this watch back when Helm would send an email letting you know when the watch would be available for purchase on their site. I jumped on the site on the day and time announced but the demand was so high the site crashed once and the second time I just couldn't process the purchase fast enough. . My taste in watches has changed over the last few years but I still love a great dive watch. Once I get the KOMODO in hand if I don't love I can always sell it so no real lost for me. Thanks for another great review Jodi. Keep up the great work! Cheers!

    I've got both the Titanium and Steel versions to compare and I'm going to keep the Titanium. I like how light it is and darker colouring, but the bezel insert appears to have brushes around it.
    I've managed the Titanium and Komodo after about a year. 2 weeks before the titanium Vanuatu I could've had another steel, but I'd already picked it up like new at a good price.
    I've also got a used Khuraburi but I'm not a fan of the Miyako. I think I prefer Helm to Zelos overall.
