These don't come along every day, do they?? Don't expect a luxury watch for that price, but it does have a lovely dial. And I can see quite a few pairs being bought as a sneaky way of adding JOMW. Cheers, Jody
Our respect to Mrs JOMW for putting up with all this watch stuff.
Ms
@@ScoobieDoobie197474No, Jody said "Mrs" first :)
I think that Mrs JOMW is a bit keen on watches also.
I just tell the girlfriend 'hey, it could be heroin'
"Missus" is a general term for female partner - I get it a lot and I'm not married to him :) But either way, I'm sure once it becomes a career / job rather than a hobby the habit is more agreeable!
If an $89 watch can have a sapphire crystal....why cant Seiko put sapphire on a $300 watch???? 🤔
Because seiko has a lot of baggage. This microbrand may be using cheap, underpaid labour for all we know.
@@troll2637 Seiko does it to make you purchase their overpriced higher end watch. Nothing to do with costs or labour.
There has to be different grades of sapphire I take it? The cheapest going into your ali express crap
There are no grades of sapphire, although you can have three levels of finishing, least expensive to most expensive are flat, single domed, double domed. And please be real about AliExpress “crap” … Seiko is overpriced garbage compared to San Martin, Sugess, etc. @@cj.6988
That is the question!!
I often rock a vintage 35mm and a Bauhaus 37mm so 36 is absolutely fine
Shoutout to Miss JOMW for being such a good sport and its easy to see why she's fond of the ladies version as its quite simple yet elegant and puts more known brands to shame by including sapphire crystal... Great video! 👍
Simp.
The model is aptly named, as it has a strong Universal Genève vibe, although it's not a 1:1 copy. At least in my eye. Love it. Also the fact, that finally, someone made a proper dress watch without a seconds hand. Thumbs up! (Wrote this before I watched the video, so ...)
Yes! Also in 36mm. Dress watch that is not a dinner plate.
@@Stanjaramarketing the 36 towards women is a horrible move. I love thin vintage sized watches and I don't think I'm the only one.
36 is definitely big for women
As a Malaysian, I'm really happy to see Revelot get some recognition. Have you seen the Hexmariner?
What differentiates this "microbrand" from all the other rather nice Chinese quartz watches (Escapement Time, Loreo etc.) in the $10-30 range.?
This is just a great idea, executed brilliantly. The cost makes it viable for getting a matching pair without denting the savings for that luxury watch for yourself. The design appeals to both watch nerds and 'normal' people and a simple two hander makes it great for both people too. Hats off to the business decision making behind this.
The best value microbrand I’ve come across is Kingsbury. In particular their MS4 Regiment for $189USD. Plus this one is a auto with a no date Seiko.
The 36 looks perfect on your wrist
I was tempted to place an order and fought the impulse, this time with some success. With a screw on back, it might have been harder and I do know it was probably incorporated for a bit of thinness as well as cost cutting but I do already have a watch. An another, etc. Close call.
These reviews are powerful. Went to the website and couldn’t find this color dial. Many more are sold out.
The 36 looks fantastic mate! The 40 looks a bit like a "dinner plate" fashion watch from afar but up close it's got the finishing to stand up for itself. Some of the color variants are better than the others, but it's really good to see these show up at this price point.
Thanks for this video! I have been seriously considering this watch and am eagerly awaiting the launch. Hard to pass up such a great looking watch, that seems to be well made and with a sapphire crystal for under $100. I am a highly frugal spender and have a knack for talking myself out of purchases, but if I can make it to August 31 I just might pull the trigger.
"Glow in the dark handels" I like that. 😂
I wouldn’t have bothered with the date but decent for the money, the dial is so much of an improvement on the mid century minimalist pumped out by you know who
Another great review! Mrs JOMW is a hero.
I've been tracking this release and I'm excited for it. I actually like that they included the date complication. It balances out the logo on a 3-9 mirroring with the single line of text
I quite like the 36mm. I do like my 60s watches in my collection of this size despite having nearly 8" wrists. The one I like is the stainless case, light blue dial, and dark hands. I think I'd want the canvas strap... im fussy with leather straps. Anyways, I signed up and I'll likely be buying one.
My partner wouldn't be interested. Only watch she wears is her fitness watch with gps for swimming tracking. Her favourite watch I own is the Alpinist, cause "its green"...
Bahaha that last bit is too real
Ms. JOMW - the breakout star of the episode!
I definately like that they added lume considering most dress watches seem to save money by not having it. It's a nice little feature
Love your (much) better half's choice of the Chopard... though not into watch diamonds myself i was intrigued by the moving design when i first stumbled across it. oh and the Revelot email I received would have got more interest but for the ridiculous date window
Wow that salmon and blue dial is killer and you are correct, it definately punches well above is $89 dollar price tag when it comes to specs and for a micro brand, that amazing!
Kinda coincidental, I just bought a vintage 2 handed watch (Seiko chariot with 2220 movement) from buyee. It was supposed to be my dress watch but my wife claimed it as her watch since she really reeaaally likes it. Probably my best impulse purchase so far, but it's also not mine anymore lol.
Very nice design! Genuine improvement over the watch that inspired it.
9:21 - All watches need these 😉
Welcome Ms. JOMW! It’s an interesting direction they are taking. I love their Divers and GMT’s though. I don’t wear dress watches so I’m hoping they come out with a cool sports / GADA watch. Thanks for the great review and hope it didn’t cost much more than giving her a free watch for her to take part. 😉.
Revelot has an amazing thing going on. I ordered R10 Admiral, for which I was quite hyped, but I was innitially disappointed that its launch was in fact a launch of pre-orders and the watch will arrive only now. I can imagine Universal will be the same experience. So be ready to wait.
I did the same and still have not gotten a shipping notice email yet. Hopefully you have better luck!
@@SamPho Fedex is already handling my stuff. Despite them having only a slight delay to the promised July/August and they did acknoledge it, I still find in bad taste that these launches make you wait for months after purchase. Launch should mean goods is in stock. Nothing wrong with kickstarter approach but reviewer should mention that in a review.
That tuxedo version at that price looks outstanding.
They are all nice, thanks for the heads up, Jody. But my favourite version, the one 2:15 is not on the website 🤔
Zs
Glow in the dark handles, that's what I'm gonna call them from now on 😂
A recommendation for a watch for Ms. JOMW: one of the Casio LA670 or A159 diamond versions. They’re technically real diamonds, with all the fun of a basic bracelet digital Casio.
With this Universal, seems like a decent watch for the price. I like the two hands style, and wish there were more two-handers out there. However, the subdivisions on the minute track seem really excessive, and I might have even skipped the minute track. Just seems a little busy, and without a seconds hand I’d just embrace the minimalism.
Thank you for the assist, Mrs. JOMW! Haha. Very fun addition to the channel
Hey Jody, a greta video as usual, and an interesting watch. I'd love to see you do a review on the Lorus Lumibrite, especially to compare it to some of the best lume watches you have in your collection and how it stacks up. Personally, I've had it for a few weeks and don't really have any complaints, especially for the £30 price tag. The lume on this field watch is probably the most interesting part, and I'd love to know how well it stacks up.
i have a revelot r6 diver. its a great brand with great value for money. its an automatic diver with a miyota movement and sapphire crystal glass. the finishing and the band is extremely good. and i got it for just a 100 bucks. its sold at 200 bucks but i got it for 100 so no complaints. its just perfect for me. this is a very good microbrand.
The black and white variant is something :O it could be a very good replacement for my Daniel Wellington I bought years ago not knowing it was cheap material but I still like the look.
Nice vid and so good to see a brand taking the second hand out it looks so much more classy this way. 👍
Big thank you to Mrs JOMW for making the ultimate wrist sacrifice!! I like the watch but for some reason I perceived the dial as looking cheap. The reflection kind of reminded me of the same light play you get from coated plastic or resin like some Casios. I would need to have this one in hand before I took the chance even though it is a bargain price. Another innovative approach to another video. Jody you are the watch review master! Merci.
Looks good to me! Well built, attractive, and nicely priced!
It's nice, dial is wonderful for the price and quartz is a good movement to keep it slim. It's not my cup of tea, but my wife really likes it, but even though she has just a 5.2“ wrist, she likes the 40mm better. I wonder, what happened to the slim mechanicals. I have a 1958 Swiss watch with seconds hand subdial, 5.2mm thin. I think someone should bring back affordable slim mechanical watches.
Timex Marlin is the only one.
@@StanjaraYes indeed, right you are. We definitely need more of them.
Nice looking watch. I’d like to see a head to head comparison with the Australian Houtman now on sale $65 watch.
no second hand means you can't tell it's quartz but you also can't tell if it's stopped or the battery dies.
Nice touch to invite Mrs JOMW's arm :)
By the way nice and well complete little watch (and also very cheap) !
Very nice review. My warmest greetings to you both!
Great stuff from this brand, superb value, great design incredible execution for this price. Shows up Seiko etc for not offering saphire
Great to see Ms JOMW getting involved! Surely a Happy Sport isn’t too high of a price to pay for love?! 😂
The waffle dial sort of reminds me of the HMT Sona which I have worn in the past at 36 mm. I would have no problem wearing this in 36 and I have a six and three-quarter inch wrist.
Morning Jody, Luminous handles, love it!
Mrs. JOMW stole the show. Appreciated her insight. Thanks, Dr. J for sharing.
I hope you review more couples’ watches, Mrs. JOMW is lovely!
I have excellent Ali Express NH35 watches with at least 100 meter water resistance, sapphire, screw down crown and case back for roughly $100 each. Must be due to massive production volume. But this watch is very attractive imo!
I have a ladies Alba quartz with sapphire crystal for under 50USD.
I'll stick with it for her.
Glad to meet Ms. JOMW! The watchers have a Skagen vibe. Which I fell prey to once buying duty free on an international flight… Cheers!
very nice looking watch would be cool if they offered a no date version though
If that was my first watch when I was a kid I don't think I would have ever needed another watch
You say that mate, but these things are addictive! 🤣
@@JustOneMoreWatchit doesn't even matter what price a watch cost it's the matter of the bloody thing tickling your funny bone as soon as you look at it
To me it tells me that the person that designed it has a the same watch disease that I do LOL
Nice to see some more quartz on this channel. :)
Your wife seems like a cool lady. Happy for you brother!
Love Microbrands that can go all over the price and spec range. Will definitely take a look...
Have you seen the newish Panergani? I’ll be curious to see if it gets a review!
A steal at 89 bucks. Looks incredible. Gives me Omega Pie Pan dial vibes too.
I have the new Revelot admiral and its a beast! Absolutely beautiful watch and spec monster!
Please review it.
Nice looking watch. Thanks for sharing.
Hellooo, Ms JOMW!
Lovely to finally meet you!
✌️❤️⌚
As has often been said. put your money into what you are going to wear. This is a great dress option for someone that wants to put most of their money into a sports/dive watch. 2 hand quartz is fantastic to keep away those horrible seconds hands that miss the markers.
Not for me though...I picked up a Citizen AR3072-09A for not much more than this and swapped out the strapped for something a bit more manly.
In that same price range, check out the offerings from Tandorio, Parnis and Corguet. VERY wide range, and I've had a Tandorio diver for over a year as my daily beater; it keeps excellent time and is very rugged. 200m water resistant, sapphire crystal, NH35a movement, screw-down crown and caseback, ceramic bezel and terrific lume...for under $80. The bad: the rubber strap it came on was cheap junk. Now it's on a nice hornback alligator strap from Vietnam, and I still have only about $100 in it. Looks great!
Looks like an airport, duty free Skagen watch to be honest. Wishing them all the best.
Her voice makes her sound like an absolute sweetheart but yes you can tell there's a fiery personality attached, congrats Jodie, the best of both worlds lol.😁
A quality watch for non-enthusiast, at the very least I'm glad these exist
Not a bad looking watch, nice to hear and have an appearance from Ms jomw too 😂
where the second hand at?
i think the date wheel should have been black with white lettering. Then it would have reflected/balenced out the brand logo on the top half of the dial better.
Mrs. (Ms.) JOMW giving the online watch community a much-needed, healthy dose of reality. 😉
Wish my other half had been as excited. OK. Satisfied with her recent acquistion. Loved it on the website. liked it day 1, moaned continously day 3 onwards.
The tuxedo version of this looks really good.
Glow in the dark handles 👌👌
@JustOneMoreWatch Any updates on your watch venture? Nice video - I'd wear the 36mm version on my 5.5 inch wrist but could pull off the 40 as well. I've been wearing my skx009 on a Barton silicon elite and remembering how much I love the thing.
September 30th..... Save the date!
@@JustOneMoreWatch awesome! And congratulations 👏
@@JustOneMoreWatch Is your watch an Scameti Spaghetti?
@@JustOneMoreWatchwoohoo! So excited
Woohoo! Good luck!@@JustOneMoreWatch
Great to see Ms JOMW!
Nice to meet your other half🙂
Here's hoping Russ the Mad Watch Collector does the same😁
Thanks Jody and Mrs JOMW for spending the time to review our watches!
Ms.JOMW very much more Australian than I was expecting 😂 like a guest star in a soap. We'll see you in future episodes madam 🍾🥂
Usually sub 100 USA dollar watches don't have sapphire crystals. Nice and thin. I have a feeling with the thinness the battery must be a very small one and might not last long. The other concern is the strap you said felt like it was going to fall apart. A good leather strap is not cheap. The mesh idea is good. Too bad they did not send you one to show it. Nice of your wife to get involved a little in your video. Does she think you are nuts for having so many watches?
Holy crap 10 pm and I get to see JOMW before I go to sleep
Sunday midday for me mate, and I'm in a random shopping mall in the north of Sydney 🤦
Got mine today. Took 2 months. Ordered on first day. They sent an email with details of order and it was the wrong watch. Emailed them straight back. They apologised and amended the order but said they had sold out of the one I wanted but were getting some more. I also noted that they had overcharged me and told them so. At first they said it was due to the different currency but I pointed out it was not. They offered an extra strap so I picked one. I received it today and it looks great on both straps but they are a bit short being on the last hole on my wrist. Will keep as I have very few dress watches.
The 36 mm for me . A stylish , classical design .
Cheers to Mrs JOMW!.
Quartz dress watch without seconds hands and a tiny, tasteful date window: win-win. Of course i don't mind the ladies-gentlemen bias, the 36mm has a correct size for that kind of watch as well.
What's up with that Tudor?
A very Smart pair of Watches @ a Fantastic price.
i gotta start looking at more watches with handles
Looking forward to more appearances from Miss JOMW.
Saw this a few weeks ago and put my name straight on the list for one.
doesn't matter how good the dial and overall finish is... how good is the price... I want my watch to have a second hand... That's one thing that keeps me sane when I'm lone.. When I'm busy or surrounded with people, i don't think of my friend on my wrist.. Sad but true..
Get this deal from ashford (deal in my opinion).
Domed sapphire, applied indices, both Swiss made and tissot on the dial. All for the princely sum of $118.95 😅
I'm saving for something decent, but this was so cheap that I couldn't pass it up
Only for US customers, though.
Quartz of course, but $30 cheaper than Amazon and 20mm lugs
When swiss is competitive to Chinese, I have a hard time going Chinese
I wanted a beater and baltany was going to be it, but this was cheaper with domed sapphire and applied indices
It was nice to neat Mrs JOMWA!!!
One question though, why put milliseconds marker on a two-hands watch? It kinda ruins the overall looks of the watch in my opinion.
Follow up after receiving the watch - After watching Jody's video, I set my alarm and was able to buy one of the copper dials (it sold out within 15 minutes). I received it in the US on October 9th (it was shipped via FedEx). The dial is fantastic and the supplied strap seems to be better quality than what Jody reviewed. In addition, the Malaysian currency dropped in relation to the US Dollar between the advertised price and the order date, so when I bought it in late August, it was for less than advertised because the sale was conducted in Malaysian money. I think my price was around $85 plus shipping with a total price of $103. Needless to say, I'm thrilled with my purchase.
What a great looking watch for the price. Mrs. JOMW is taking her lead from Andrew Morgan.
with that design 36mm is the best choice for male and female.
It's been so long I didn't know they made watches under $100 not named Casio.
Pretty nice looking, a possible new dress watch
Hi miss Jomw! First Andy had miss floating hands amd now it's miss Jomw on the watch UA-cam world
