March AliExpress sale - Whats in my basket?
Thorough and insightful review as always. Nice looking Casio. If it had the same case dimensions as the Casio Royale I'd get one.
Totally agree, thanks for watching
man I have this watch and I'm waiting for making a review for ages now, but one thing or other never get it done... you get so much for so cheap, first one my dad snatched for himself, second got "made" into a casio and is now a... casioisen? 🤣 have another one hope to get the video out asap
I was quite impressed by it, thanks for watching
Big fan of small divers. In fact, I’d say we need more 34/35/36/37mm divers. A lot more. Thanks for the review! 🙏
Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for watching
The negative display actually looks legible in this video - is it as good in real life?
It’s fine from certain angles, others less so, thanks for watching
Its a cool take on a classic digital with an interesting button layout. You are right. The watch is iconic due to Ripley! Take care man!
Thanks for watching!
Great review 👍. I liked your comments on Alien, a fantastic film! I bought an Armitron that was a similar size, but gave it away after my wife actually said it looked tiny on wrist ☹️
A lot of watches look tiny on my wrist… thanks for watching
For me the most negative aspect of this watch is the plastic case ...I think Casio could do better than that. A good reissue with a full stainless steel case would certainly be in my shopping list.
I’ve kinda got used to plastic cases on Casio’s, would imagine the mod scene will throw up a metal a100 kit at some point, thanks for watching
Really wish I could get it for that price. £47 at the moment
May see the price come down on Black Friday, thanks for watching
I have the blue and the black one and I love them! The Black one with a leather Strap, and the blue all stell
It’s a great watch, thanks for watching
Thanks for the review. Such a beautiful watch. But why does a 38mm field watch need a 47.5mm L2L? I have a Timex field watch that is 38mm x 43mm. Those are perfect dimensions!
I guess it depends how big your wrists are! Thanks for watching
@@gorillasinthewrist My pleasure. Just found your channel and subbed. 🙂 And you’re right. 43mm suits my 6.25” wrist perfectly but the big wrist folk probably wouldn’t mind the longer lugs.
I got the titanium version a week ago and it’s absolutely great! 🕐⚙️🍸
It really is! Thanks for watching
This is so tiny it looks like a watch shaped pimple on your wrist. nice watch though.
I was impressed by this one, a decent watch, thanks for watching
Jesus mate, the fit is terrible. You'll cut the circulation off wearing it so tight!
The curse of being a gorilla in the wrist… thanks for watching
appena arrivato bellissimo funziona alla grande ho cambiato subito il cinturino dato che il suo è molto rigido e scadente con uno nappato beige cambiato totalmente
Glad you liked it, thanks for watching
Happy for the size. I bought it for a young female friend of mine. She loves red. This is red. Hope she likes it.
I’m sure she will, thanks for watching
It's this watch original or high copy?
TBH, I’m not sure. It reminds me of something else but can’t place it, thanks for watching
Looks like a Luminox. The KHURABURI, is a much nicer watch.
Thanks for watching
You should check out the PD1790 for weirdness, it has two running second hands.
So if I get one of those it balances out this one 😀😀Thanks for watching
@@gorillasinthewrist I bought it just because of the weirdness.
I think you don't love it because it's quartz.
Never had a problem with quartz watches, so not that, I’ll figure it out one day… thanks for watching
where did you buy this watch?
Bought it from AliExpress, there’s a link in the description, I think of it as unisex. Thanks for watching
Is it this watch for men or women?
Nice video, but you missed one minor point. Unlike most quartz movements ( Timex is an example.) this movement is smooth and quite. No one would know this was a quartz watch, until you tell them. Also, at 38 mm wide, this watch will fit almost anyone. Is this the perfect Field Watch ? If you disregard Hamilton's imaginary history ( They are no longer made in the U.S.A. and are NOT the same watch company ! ) , then YES ! This Militado IS THE REAL McCoy !!! I give this watch an 8 out of 10.
I agree, it’s a great watch, that’s why it gets so much love… thanks for watching
I got one of these two weeks ago. I really like it but I agree the bracelet is really cheap. The setup instructions are useless. Once I set it up myself. I'm really happy with it especially at that price
Glad you like it, thanks for watching
It's surprising they have hand shift features and world timer for this cheap price.
since they didn't go automatic, they should've gone for a solar powered engine instead
I suspect that would have been hard to do for the price… thanks for watching
Great overview of the watch dude and it's a no from me also, not had a pagani that I've liked ever, think they cut too many corners, looking forward to the casios 😎👍
Had a fair few PDs through my paws but only one ever stuck, the 1644 Daytona homage on a jubilee, I think they’re ok for the money. Next up the A100 and the 5600 I bought to replace the one I gave to my dad, thanks for watching, love your content…
@@gorillasinthewrist ah yes think i reviewed the 1644 back in the day 😅 keen to see your take on the a100 as it looks great but the bracelet worries me and the 5600 is your workhorse square and I'm sure you'll feel the same 😎👍
Nice review, it's a good looking watch, but that 24 hour dial is such a waste of space, if only Seiko would revise this movement and put a running seconds at 3. I think your thoughts on this sum up my feeling on Pagani Design, for example I wish they would stop including a sub par bracelet and spend extra on the lume. I've never bought a Pagani, but I've been happy to buy and wear Berny and Tandorio.
I like Berny and Tandorio too, I have had some decent pagani’s but the lume is never good… thanks for watching
This should be automatic
Thanks for watching
It's an Engineer style bracelet, not a Jubilee style @Gorillas in the wrist
Good spot, thanks for watching
That watch is shit. What can you expect for $10.
They are what they are, they tell time. I also have two! 🙂
I have more than I care to mention, thanks for watching
I don't think the movement is made by SEIKO, the specifications just say quartz.
You can find some YT videos with caseback openings: its a Seiko-Epson AX32A.
I think it’s a hattori movement owned by Seiko, thanks for watching
Thank you for the review! 👍 So a rotatable bezel and a Seiko-Epson movement inside with hands hitting the marks for only 10 USD. Thats great!
Isn’t it just,thanks for watching
What is impressive is that the second hand seems to be hitting the markers all the way around. Seiko can’t manage that on watches costing four figures! 🤣
Skmei must have better QC…. Thanks for watching
I'm glad you're back, and reviewing a SKMEI 😁. While I won't buy one myself, as I already have too many watches, I do think it is great that they make a decent looking watch at a price anyone can afford, not everyone wants to wear an f91w.
I agree, not for everyone but decent enough. Thanks for watching
These watches arent half bad. They make good beaters and I dont feel bad wearing the one I have to the gym or in the garden and to be fair it has help up pretty well. I think you got your moneys worth and then some! Hope you have a great weekend!
Well said! I think these have a place, not without flaws but then who is… thanks for watching
@@gorillasinthewrist
Seriously? Why would you want to wear an obvious shamelessly ripped off _quartz_ Seamaster wannabe? SMH. No thanks. I'd be too ashamed to even be seen with it. I'd rather wear a five dollar no name digital Chinese quartz that DOESN'T pretend to be a luxury watch. Or, in this case, I'm going to put on my actual Seamaster professional instead.
Thank you for the feature!
My pleasure, my fave brand
Nice watch, but you have a big wrist. Still looks very nice. Yacht master just a bit more classic than a Submariner.
Gorillas wrists indeed, these are a lot of watch for the money. Thanks for watching
That white dial from Cadisen is one of several great white dial offerings from Cadisen this year. A very underrated brand.
They went awry for a while, but have definitely had a resurgence, thanks for watching
Very nice video. It really is that good, I bought 3 so far this year. The best diver on Alix.
The cyclops is massive… thanks for watching
Had also bad hands alignme t od Addies...in a different way though, ...hour hands touched the dial and minute hand was like installed at 45° angle...like drunken hands. Seems addies qc issue.
Sorry to hear that, did you have trouble returning it?
Many thanks for very useful and clear review!
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching
4:36 Still waiting for you to give us that lug to lug.... . Thanks in advance
It’s 47mm, sorry it took so long to answer…thanks for watching
Not a mineral lens it is acrylic plasic.
Every day is a school day, thanks for watching
If no chronograph I would put the triguer🤔
Thanks for watching
Can't find one of these Synokes for less than about £6-£7 on Ebay in the UK (aka 'Rip Off Britain' or 'Treasure Island', lol).
No surprise there, I can’t get a GShock square for under 50 but 41 bucks in the US… thanks for watching
It’s a watch you wear simply for fun and a laugh. No sensible person will use the chronograph!😅
Certainly a fun watch, thanks for watching
What is the size of the crown please.
Not sure and don’t have the watch any more but it was a good size
Yes I bought one.and set it to my dab radio clock.3 weeks later it's still to the second when the second hand lands on the 12 .
It’s very reliable, thanks for watching
The insignia is for the signal corps of the military.
Every day is a school day, thanks
This watch has a battery?
It has a quartz Seiko vh31 movement, so battery powered, thanks for watching
