- I hope my title wasn't a clickbait because I thought these quirks should be mentioned widely. Or maybe I didn't know any of these because I am new to watches. Either way, do what you will with my complaints, and thanks for watching.
The last time, I talked about buying #grandseiko Snowflake #SBGA211 was when Ethereum hit $4000 a piece in 2021. I almost sold two ETH for a watch. Fast forward 3 years, I finally stopped making random excuses and went into the store to find a GS for myself. Ultimately, it came down to two watches -- the #SLGA019 and #SBGA413. As you can see, my requirement is 40mm, titanium, and Spring Drive; the rest can speak (or show) for itself.
The SBGA413 seems like the most popular watch on Reddit for obvious reasons but I wish we could discuss the negatives more. Because, for me, it is not about how good something is when I purchase expensive items. When I buy something I want to know what the downsides of these items are compared to other options because nothing is perfect and it's all about tradeoffs.
A video about “should I buy SBGA413?” that is full of the negatives of the watch is definitely needed. Although, I bet other people probably have harsher criticisms that I didn’t mention in the video.
I didn't expect much from a small channel like yours but I'm pleasantly surprised by the quality of the review! Excellent work!
Thanks! I hope I provided some values. Glad you enjoyed it 🥹🥹
great review, thanks for talking about the less mentioned stuff.
No problem, I hope I helped you to make a decision even just a slight bit! Thanks for watching.
Nice video my friend. I still love this watch and plan to get one. But good to know all of these quirks! :)
My sentiment as well!
Great review!
Thanks for watching! I appreciate it!
The bracelet also feels more 'plasticky because titanium is not nearly as good a conductor of heat, so when you put the watch on it does not feel cold like a steel watch and bracelet.
This is true but you didn’t get nothing in return. I love how the watch is so light.
No instant date change also! But an amazing case and comfortable to wear
I kinda like how it slowly changes but it’d be pretty cool if it can instantly change. Which watches do you know have that feature(
@@Chris_Lan most do like all Rolex, and within GS also evo 9 range and most quartz are instant date change
are you able to find any leather strap that goes well with the watch?
Hey. I’m not looking for any leather strap right now. I let you know if I did though. Are you looking for one?
Thanks for watching!
Nice watch! What happen? Thought we were going to be rolly gang. 😂
HAHAHA. The video didn’t say we wouldn’t be!!!!
Also no micro adjustment is the deal breaker for me. Popular watch tho.
Right, I don’t think it is a big deal but I wonder if it’s because I never had a watch with micro adjustment so therefore I don’t see the need for it.
GS’s reasoning is apparently because the clasps and buckle is smaller and there for look cleaner and smaller. That was their “design choice”
I’ve heard some people say they can feel/hear the rotor rotating in the watch as they move around their wrist. Have you noticed any noise? Really want one of these but I’m very picky about noisy watches 😭
Oh! Yeah it’s definitely audible. Btw, talking about sound, the winding of the crown doesn’t sound too good either. It sounds a bit high pitch lol. Almost sounds cheap.
You should really go in and try a few. Videos dont do justice on how awesome they look. Plus you probably want to hear it yourself!
Good video, review, but you need a mic, to much background echo.
Hey! I do have a mic :) it’s actually a problem of my room lmao. Watch one of my old videos if you have time
Thanks for the comment. I appreciate it. Btw I’m on my way to a wedding.
