**Important Note**
I really enjoy watches and that's why I started this channel so I could review them regularly but my satisfaction is not found in owning or experiencing watches, no matter how many I may accumulate or how luxurious and expensive they may be . . .
Wise King Solomon said in Ecclesiastes 5:10 "He that loveth silver shall not be satisfied with silver; nor he that loveth abundance with increase: this is also vanity."
The truth is, material possessions of any kind, money, power, etc. never can and never will satisfy our hungering souls. Only knowing, loving, and serving God can truly satisfy.
The only way we can have a real relationship with God, the Creator of the Universe, is through the Lord Jesus Christ, the sinless Son of God.
"Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me." John 14:6
Through Christ's sacrificial death on the cross, for my sins and your sins, and His resurrection from the dead we can have peace with God (Romans 5:1), forgiveness of sins (Acts 10:43), eternal life (John 3:16), and so much more!
In Christ, we can know true joy now and for all eternity.
"He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life." - 1 John 5:12

The SS Aquascaphe on the beads-of-rice bracelet interests me! I’ve got a Miyota 90S5 in my Lorier Falcon that is slightly slow when on my wrist & slightly fast on the dresser, so it stays within 5 sec over a week’s time. It outperforms my 2 sub-$1K watches with Swiss movements (ETA 2824 & Sellita SW330), so I’m pretty impressed with it!
That's great! I like Miyota movements for sure! Thanks for watching.
I recently bought the Aquascaphe with the same movement. I regulated it by myself and after 4 days it is still on time. Over the the day on my wrist it gains around 2 seconds and loses the same amount over night. I cannot ask for better. But when I got the watch it was around 25sec/day too fast. To regulate it with the help of an app, not having good eyes and no screw to regulate it was just luck. Really, if you push the lever even a micro distance, the watch will run 30 sec slower or faster. Incredible hard to regulate without a screw. And always the fear to slip the screwdriver into the balance wheel.
BTW: its easy to open the back without a special tool. Make yourself a small ball (golf ball size) of duct tape, remove the straps and turn the caseback with the help of the sticky duct tape open. But be aware that the watch, after opening and closing, is maybe not water tight anymore.
No matter the price range QC issues are unacceptable to me.
Otherwise the watch looks nice and great video. 🙌
I agree! Thanks for watching!
I have the black one, cool peace, great quality, no qc-issues, lume is amazeballs. The movement isnt what you buy it for but its good enough, I had less watch for more money before so I think its worth it. Nice video! 🤘
Glad you're enjoying yours!! Thanks for watching!
Hi, when you say "the movement isn't what you buy it for" , does it mean it's worse than its competitors, say Sellita/ETA/Seiko?
Hello! I only had it for a few months, but during that time I didnt have any problem with it, and I think it ran about +7 spd, and my guess is that it is at least as good as its competitors. But then I cant say too much since I only had it for a shorter period of time
@@johansoderstrom5424 Thanks mate! Any reason you let go of it? Am just worried that this watch has problem that I'm not aware of
the thing that bugged me a little bit was that it was a little too light for my taste, and the indexes on the dial was slightly greenish in daylight, couse all of the lume (this is the black version, the blue has another color on the lume I think)
Other than that I thought it was a really cool watch!
Getting my black one back this week after sending it off for repair. Bezel insert wasn't flush. That white spot on yours would drive me crazy! I'd definitely have to send it back haha
Hope your issues are fixed! Thanks for watching!
Bought the Black color of this watch and it is hand down best thing I’ve ever bought!
Glad you're enjoying yours! Thanks for watching!
I have the same crown wobble issue with my blue version. Also, the bezel has a little play in it when pressing on the sides. It annoys me. I wrote to Baltic and they say they have a fix for the crown issue. I am returning it for them to fix the crown and bezel. Otherwise, a very nice and accurate watch (+2sec/day).
Thanks for sharing your experience too! Glad they are taking care of you. They offered to change my bezel insert too but I am going to be selling mine so I will let the buyer know that if they want it changed they can.
Just wanted to report back on my issues with the bezel and wobbly crown. After contacting Baltic, they paid for an express return label. They fixed the crown and the bezel. After 3 days I had the watch back in my possession. Talk about express service. The bezel still some minimal play in it, which is acceptable, but the crown and stem is now stable and stiff as I should be. Really happy with this quick and effective customer service. Thumps up Baltic!
I had the same problem with the crown. They did not offer to fix it. This is what they said:
“This is normal, the crown is a bit wobbly on the Titanium and there's nothing to be worried about.
It's a specificity of the movement.”
I agree with you on that movement. There are many comparable Swiss brands using Swiss movements in that price range.
Thanks for watching Greg!!
Thanks for the review, I am still undecided to buy or wait when they fix theier issues. It is bit pricy for the specs and you pay a lot for the hyped name Baltic at the moment. At such low number of released watch there should be no qc issues.
I hear ya! Thanks for watching!
I bought the blue one for 710 as well I got the number 59/300 and so far I had no issues with the watch. And it’s worth the price. Congratulations to you tho
Thanks for watching and congrats to you on getting yours. Hope you enjoy it!
@@TheTownWatch thank you yes better than buying a Rolex for 1000 USD and purpose is the same 😊 plus Rolex was not famous from day 1 so let’s give other chance as well.
Buy what you love and love what you buy. Brother, if you are okay with the price and happy with the watch, the rest is white noise.
Personally, I find it above my comfort zone for price and the amount of issues for the monies paid. Sharp looking Baltic though.
I agree my friend! Thanks for watching!
Hey, Josh. I’m pretty sure I’m in the minority amongst enthusiasts, but I don’t understand the premium that seems to be automatically applied to Swiss Sellita and ETA movements. I consider the Miyota 9000 series to be perfectly comparable, so I don’t believe the price premium is warranted. As for Baltic, I have always liked their designs since I became aware of them 2+ years ago, but I have always thought they were overpriced. Not as badly overpriced as fellow French brand Yema, but still a bit too high. Fortunately, Baltic has great customer service, while Yema customer service is absolute trash. In any case, getting your hands on #8 is pretty cool 👍😁
Thanks for sharing your thoughts Cecil! I understand your point. Thanks for watching.
@@TheTownWatch Anytime, Josh. Shouting my opinions from the cheap seats here in the comments is a lot easier than producing video reviews 😁. Appreciate your content, Josh! And thanks also for posting about the Invicta Pro Diver on Prime Days. Though you posted for the Quartz version, I ended up getting 2 NH35 Pro Divers for modding for only $50 each. Awesome finds thanks to you!
@@cecilyau4440 Glad to hear that! Appreciate your kind words. That's a great deal on those Pro Divers!
I've had both the Sellita's and the Miyota equivalents and I have nothing bad to say about the Miyotas! Excellent timekeeping if regulated well, utterly reliable and a creamy smooth seconds hand sweep. Sellita are much the same though I had issues that I was told by hand winding them where the rotor bearing or clutch failed and the rotor would spin when the crown was wound rather than slip. Happened to me twice over the years. So not necessarily the case that the Sellita are more bulletproof
Congrats on 10k!!! Not an easy feat. Good looking watch. Bit pricey for a micro brand as micros should stay around the 500 and below mark IMHO. It’s titanium piece with a Miyota. It’s a pass for me.
Thanks brother! Appreciate your continued support! Thanks for watching!
Nice....got another Baltic in
Yes sir! Didn't keep it around though, already sold it!
Hi Josh great review, between this baltic watch and the san martin SN045G (previous review you did) which one of them do yo prefer?
Hello, thanks for watching. They are very different watches even though they are both divers. I liked both of them but I think the Baltic being more expensive has better finishing and quality control.
Great looking watch for sure but those qc problems are a real downer. For $700, that's Sellita territory. The Miyota is great but on $500 watch. Nice work with the review.
Thanks for watching Wes! Congrats on the name change!
@@TheTownWatch you're welcome mate and cheers. Enjoy your weekend
Hello Josh, great video. I really like this watch and the brand in general, however for $730 I would like to see a SW200. With the Miyota 9039 Movement it is overpriced in my opinion. As set I would not expect to pay much more than $500. Thank you again for sharing your thoughts. Have a great weekend my friend 👍
Thanks for watching my friend! I like Miyota movements but for some reason I feel the Swiss made options are a little better but I could be wrong.
@@TheTownWatch I agree 100% with you Josh 👍
They are a little pricey..but everything is expensive now..I like the brand
This is true! 😅 Thanks for watching!
How's the rotor noise?
It was definitely noticeable. Thanks for watching.
Great looking watch...could you let us know your wrist size please?
Thanks for watching! My wrist is 6.5 inches
Its a nice watch but I dont think its worth the $700 plus bucks with a Miyota movement and QC issues needless to say it may be pretty but I'm not buying one at that price point.
Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts!
My mate just bought one and i can say it was a let down! Nice watch but it just didnt have that wow factor...
Thanks for watching!
@@TheTownWatch NP...
Meh half of the parts of Swiss made movements are made in China anyway
Thanks for watching!
exactly! actually, more than half but they'll never admit it. the way they spin Swiss Made is BS!
its a very plain watch,therefore i would send it back to the place you bought it so they can replace that bezel.thats a high price to pay for defects and also no steel bracelet.for that price range i think maybe hamilton,iwc etc..
Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts!
It's so chic it looks like a ladies diver. What can I say?
😅 Thanks for watching Manus!
