Thank you so much for WATCHing my video and I hope that you check out all my other content.
I release 3 videos per week, all watch related, including reviews, first impressions and general watch related topics.
I try very hard to diversify my content. Featuring known watch brands, microbrands, Aliexpress. Some I have purchased new, others second hand.
The majority of the watches that I feature I have purchased. I buy them to enjoy, wear, have in my collection. I then also feature them on this channel.
Being a smaller channel it is challenging to cover the cost of all the watches that I buy and partly because of this I have become an affiliate member with a number of companies including Aliexpress and Ashford.com.
If you are looking for watches from well known brands then it is worth checking out:
www.ashford.com
If you are looking for great strap options then definitely check out:
vario.sg/
and
artemstraps.com/collections/s...
As an affiliate member I may leave affiliate links in the descriptions of videos. These links will direct you to the watches that I’ve experienced, reviewed and would certainly recommend. If you choose to use those links I will earn a very small commission.
Thank you very much if you choose to use those links.

One of the best watches I have seen for a long time. The engineering that went into this is astonishing!
It is rather astonishing
Almost word for word what I was about to comment! One of the prettiest watches James has featured to date!
Whew! Really diggin’ this one. The lume looks fantastic! Absolutely love this bracelet style too…one of my favorites.
It is very cool. I am really enjoying all the design elements that just make it pop
I have to admit, I had never heard of this brand before. I must be slipping. It is certainly a looker, and a refreshing departure from the usual sub looking dive watch. I can hear Amy now, "Jimmy, will you stop playing with that bezel!" "I can't puddin, it's just too much fun!" Can't wait for the review. Thanks James.
Hahahahaha. Thanks mate
I bought mine with the green dial and bezel last month. Awesome watch, can’t stop looking and wearing it. My wife is getting jealous 😂
Well done Nove!
It is so impressive
This.this. this. A welcome departure from the Ali express garbage and some focus on a rather unique and interesting timepiece. Great video.
One of the most unique watches I’ve come across. I am really enjoying getting to know all the design elements of it.
James this is a dive watch and that bracelet extension is done like that on dive watches so it's easy to use even with a divers gloved hand to adjust to fit over your wetsuit . 😃
Thank you. That makes a lot of sense.
Hi James the "Small end links " are adapters to fit a rubber/leather strap onto the watch.😁
Ahhhh that makes a lot more sense.
Thank you
That bezel is wild!
I know. I keep taking it off to play with it.
It’s a thiccc thing. Love how it sits on the wrist with no gaps. Very interesting and unique design elements. Perhaps your next giveaway James !!!😊
I did consider that but this one may be staying in my collection for a while 😁
Great video as always James. That micro on the fly slider is actually a dive extension. It can be used as micro adjustment but a dive extension is the main function hence the design. Mido divers use them too.
Ahhh yes. It is very good at doing that. But I just don’t enjoy the look.
Plus. I’ve not worn a watch diving for years. Not since I bought a computer.
My favourite Nove is the Gemini ♊️ Completely Swiss 🇨🇭 but …. made in Hong Kong 🇭🇰!!!!! 😅
Thanks for WATCHing
Very cool. Looking forward to the full review!
Thanks for WATCHing
I like a big stainless steel watch that's well designed. The Orient M-force is a good example of this and wears much smaller than 45mm. Citizen Orca is another quirky design which looks good at 46mm. Citizen has a similar clasp setup to this which is one of the best I've come across. Looking at it I reckon Nove nicked elements of that design.
I had not seen that one before. Wow. Looks awesome.
Handsome watch!
It is very cool
Very interesting watch. Thanks for sharing this info. I'll check it out
They have some super interesting designs.
That looks very very interesting. Cheaper than a Tuna it looks like it has similar presence. That's one I might have to have a look at.
It would be interesting to put this one up against a Tuna. Hmmmmm
Invicta meets... Invicta! 😅😂
Thanks for WATCHing
Nice fit for sure
It is so different and well made that it is rather captivating
Nicely original design, I look forward to seeing how it wears for a few months 👍. At first look, I would say the dial looks rather small and there aren't minute markers on most of it.
Thanks for WATCHing
This one will take a while to find all the details and design elements.
it's freaky
Hahahahahaha. Thanks for WATCHing
"What should we do with all these bits we have left over?"
Definitely keep them.
I just leave them in the box so it’s all kept together
Wild
That’s what I thought too
Very interesting watch, I like this one. Thanks James.
It love how they have really thought out side the box with its design.
As always every watch brand tries to emulate Seiko design,this looks very similar to MM600.
Not sure if I agree. I don’t see much that looks similar.
But then again all dive watches sometimes can look a bit same same.
Bezel,lugs and those screws on lugs looks exactly the same as sprig drive mm 600.
Infact Seiko and Rolex are still the most influental watch brands in the world,all others just copy these two,it sems that every micro brand started as homage to Seiko or Rolex.
Please let us know if the locking lever is a snag magnet or if its pretty well tucked in. Im in between this one and the Marine models. Thanks for sharing.
I’ll keep that in mind for the review. So far I feel that it really ticks it self away.
But have not worn it with long sleeves.
Mmmm, looks very interesting ; )
The #Seiko #Omega etc.is pretty sad though IMO.
Thanks for WATCHing
Very different, I'd like to know what you think after the wear 👍
That’s the plan. This feels like a watch that will keep grabbing my attention.
And it’s hard not to play with that bezel.
Is the bracelet integrated?
I think it is but does not feel exactly like what I would normally think of as an integrated style.
I’ve since found out those spare end links are for use when wanting to use other straps.
Which is very cool.
@@WATCHingJames, Nice looking watch. I don't like wearing bracelets and it seems like changing straps is a bit of a hassle. I guess I'll wait to see what they release next. Thanks for getting back to me.)))
To thick and reminds me of Aragon watches...not my cop of te,but funky nevertheless 😊
Thanks for WATCHing
Do NOT waste your money on one of these things. I got rid of mine straight away. It feels like a tinny and cheap fashion watch. Very disappointing and I lost a lot of money. Big mistake. The bezel is a gimmick and the mechanism is a dirt & grime collection point. The only thing going for it is the swiss movement.
Thanks for WATCHing
@@WATCHingJames Sorry for the negative reply James, but I had a disappointing experience with this particular watch. I have to say however, Nove were very professional and courteous as a company and their communication was excellent. Maybe others will be very happy with one of these but I just thought it important to give my experience.
That’s ok. It’s good to see any form of enthusiasm about watches. Even if not positive.
I’ve had a few bad experiences too and I know how you feel.
What was the problem with it?
@@a.rafael.m.6493 It feels like a tinny and cheap fashion watch.
The more these companies try to enforce some unique design ideas, the more I appreciate other companies not doing that. Seems like it is made unique for uniqueness sake. I hate any screws or rivets visible anywhere on the watch cases + this bezel guard is an absolutely terrible idea and a gimmick. That bezel itself is cool though
I am enjoying having so many options to choose from now.
Its so confusing, it makes my face hurt. Hate it, also as a diving tool it's actually dangerous.
Thanks for WATCHing
Too many nooks and crannies, can't keep it clean, same reason I sold my monster.
That may be an issue. I had not thought about that.
Thanks for WATCHing
Not for me. Looks like the stole every big name watch ideas and shoved them onto this.
Thanks for WATCHing
Of course you've met them before - you are trying hard to sell their junk. All your hyper sales arguments are wasted on me😑
Thanks for WATCHing
Nice review, but this watch is... 😂🤮
Thanks for WATCHing
If you just bothered to read the watch makers website your audience could have benefited from the proper pronunciation of Nove ( Noh-vay). I’ve lived in Australia for 20 years and folks please don’t assume all Australians are this intentionally disregarding of name pronunciations. It’s a particular ilk of Australia and it’s a smaller older less worldly demographic and even if corrected on pronunciations they will insist on continuing to deliberately get it wrong and not for any other reason than they just don’t care.
This is the 4 th video I’ve watched by this vlogger consistently butchering names. It takes 5 minutes to make a better presentation and not come off as some old sloppy hack who just doesn’t have any sense of duty or respect for his audience or the builders of products he attempts to report on.
Cool watch, terrible execution of a promising infomercial 👎🏻
Thanks for WATCHing
