    Just got my 3rd Wise watch, the Damascus 39mm Adamascus AD760-- wow! can't stop wearing that one too-- amazing watches, could not be happier, they are quality that is 2 to 3 times their price! --- someone has said they are the Grand Seiko of Micro Brands--- I have to agree!!

    Thanks, Shane, for this review. I started to pre-order this exact colorway when it first listed last year at $600 with $120 off. It looks great. Maybe I should have bought it then! My only wish is that they either skipped the polished center links or perhaps made them either BOR or "J" style as those bracelets don't seem to show scratches as much on the polished links.

    @benjaminvis Před měsícem

    In comparison, I look forward to the Henry Archer, especially the two tone. I would have great expectstions from the brand and was seriously tempted, but rationality won the day. I don't think I'd even enjoy a travellers gmt movement so much. Wise, here, is moving more toolish, inspite of the use of a touch of gold. And personally, I think they shine brighter along the dress-sports spectrum. Watches that are effectively just more jewel-like. I do agree with the now often heard criticism that despite their brilliance, the AD8 shoudk have had some alternate finishing, and I would tend to agree. This suits the genre and juding by yhe excellent brinze variants I don't think it would have detracted one bit from the impression the watch makes. This design direction is also too busy for me. Since I have no experience with (recent) CW, it is difficult to comment on whether that association holds. One thing is for sure, Wise pushes quality harder than outright specs for bucks, and I actually appreciate that. I just hope they stay true to that more affordable formula of quality at a great price. There are certainly signs of them looking for the way up.

  • @HVG67
    @HVG67 Před měsícem

    Great review as usual. Cool watch and I was really tempted to get one (Batman version), until I saw the shape of the hour hand and the fact that it can cover the GMT hand which is a big design flaw in my book. Even my $100 Timex Three GMT does that way better: you can always see the GMT hand. And then that shape of the hour hand 🍆? Also, I'm not convinced yet by the Miyota GMT. The ETA 2893 offers independent date movement and I dont think there is that much of a price difference? Even my Pagani GMT with a Chinese ETA clone has an independent date.. oh, you get $50 off with a code from their site.

    • @RelativeTime
      @RelativeTime  Před 24 dny

      Between the two, I think I'd go with a Jack Mason. I think the Wise has a more interesting dial design, and definitely better lume. Yet for some reason I like the Strat-O-timer better. Maybe because it's more conventional... maybe it's the American Assembled bit, or maybe because it's a little more comfortable. As it has a leg up when it comes to the bracelet. Plus the newer Strat-o-Timers are supposed to have added a scratch-resistant coating.

      While there are a few similarities (inner GMT track and polished center links), I think the rest is different enough to be original. And I'm writing this as I'm wearing my Caliber 400 Aquis.
      As for cheap movement... cheaper maybe. The Oris is based on a SW330... not an in-house movement by any means or a massive improvement. Now if they came out with a GMT version of the caliber 400 that would be a different story, and I would love to see that.

      @RelativeTime  Před měsícem +3

      I think you and I have been down this road before. But as I've said in multiple videos now I don't think either is better than the other. It really depends on your use case. For me, I vastly prefer the true / travlers over the callers. As when you're actually traveling you don't have to train yourself to look at a different hand, the date is synced up to where your at, and you can move the hand backward instead of a full rotation if you're traveling west. Making it easier going back and forth between time zones. Which in my mind makes up for the lack of a quick set date.
      That said... I think a callers is a more versatile setup. As it's much harder to use a True GMT to keep track of a remote time zone you aren't in. Whereas a callers has an easier time doing that, and can still easily be used when traveling.
      As for the term True, as I've also said before, I think it is a bit of a misnomer... but people still use it. More importantly, people respond to it more, and it's shorter and easier to throw up on a thumbnail.

      Whoa, chill a little! I don't care for the "true" GMT moniker either - there's no such thing as an "untrue" GMT - but I can also understand the desire to properly differentiate between the two types, particularly for those new to this previously obscure complication. For a non-frequent time-zone hopper like me, a caller/office GMT makes *far* more sense than a traveler GMT would: for starters, dealing with resetting the date on a traveler would drive me nuts in a hurry. As for the usefulness (or lack thereof) of tracking a third time zone, I do occasionally find this handy, therefore I'm glad to have it (Seiko SSK003 in my case).
