Wise is online only for international buyers, but they do have physical stores in Thailand.
I literally just ordered mine ... same colorway only with an orange gmt hand. Can't wait for it to come in.
Same here but red GMT hand. It’s taking a week or two longer than normal to process due to demand.
So glad to see wise getting more attention. They've got so many great models, I have the ad7 and it's amazing
same, it's incredible, especially at the price you can get it for after their discounts. Imo, one of the best value-for-money watches on the market
I do like the new logo, the previous logo was just WISE in aerial font (lol) which was the only real complain I had with WISE watches. They still refuse to put the logo on the dials.
I rather like it.
904L is used by many brands; Ball, Milus, and Steinhart are three that spring to mind 😉. And now Wise too! The big brands should get on it! 😂.
The reason for the extra shine is it has twice the nickel content (so if you have a nickel intolerance, take note) of about 25%, compared to 316L. 904L is slightly softer (Rockwell HR-B of 80 +/-) than 316L (Rockwell HR-B 95+/-), but much more corrosion-resistant for acids, although in horological applications this is utterly unimportant unless you want to go diving in sulphuric acid…
Damn you ruined my weekend plans 😅
@@jacobpartin4553 😂😂
I always thought 904L was more resistant to salt water corrosion and also stronger than 316L?
@@anandmorris 904L is indeed more resistant to chlorides, particularly warm salt water, although whether noticeably so in a swimming environment is another matter. For tensile strength this is as much dependent on how the SS is worked and treated. 904L cannot be hardened by thermal treatment. The details of this is not my area.
@borassictime918 thanks for the reply. I think for the strongest stainless steel, i would look at Sinn watches.
904L steel is more corrosion-resistant - useful for a dive watch. More of a practical reason to use it than "it's shinier".
Yes but the corrosion resistance is fairly negligible for all but the most hardcore divers. To the 99.9% of us the difference is simply that it is shinier
@@michaelsilva-baca2966 Why are you paying nearly 1000$ on a diver's tool watch if you're not a diver? It makes you look like a fake person
@@user-ln3ch7hy1x Man the overwhelming majority of dive watches are worn by people who don’t dive. It doesn’t make you a fake anything. The submariner is the most popular and recognizable watch in the world. But you won’t find anybody who actually dives with them.
The same reason people buy sportscars (and bikes, see profile pic) who are not racing them. We can appreciate the design, engineering, comfort, and they're just nice to use. Do you think most owners of Rolexes are diving with them?@@user-ln3ch7hy1x
Yes, 904L is a classed as a 'super austenitic' stainless steel. 316L is pretty much bargain basement for ASS; it's used everywhere. 904L certainly is 'marine grade', as watch makers like to say but I would not classify 316L the same way.
You need to check out their Adamascus line (specifically the AD7). They're beautiful dress/sports hybrid watches, with crazy specs and finishing for around $550 USD after their discounts. They use 9L4 stainless steel for the Adamascus as well.
I bought one and am very happy with it!
Considering I bought my Bulova Oceanographer, 2nd hand, 6 months old for £420 and this is the same movement. Also Bulova reduced the prices a lot. The previous owner bought the watch for 850 Euros in Spain from a retailer - I have the whole paperwork.
So. I would argue that's a deal
There's no argument about it .
I wish they would go with that W logo on its own instead of the plain all-caps logo.
Finally! Watches from them are the Best ! THE BEST!
A beautiful watch and very well priced! I love Wise watches, they have their own design language. I already got my (only) bronze case watch from them and it is beautiful. Their watches have great attention to detail which even extends to their watch boxes. I am thinking about getting another watch from them, maybe not the GMT, but they have some very nice dress watches in 904L or damascus steel.
That watch just made the short list of GMT watches I may buy in the future. Right next to the Zelos Spearfish GMT.
This costs more than I want to spend on another GMT, but it is impressive and I’m interested to see what will be coming out of Thailand going forward. As always, Ben, I appreciate your commentary; you also have a special place in my heart as the only one of my favorite UA-cam watch reviewers with a wrist smaller than mine (6.5”). 😃 Keep up the good work!
I have two other models from Wise and they are both outstanding. Might have to get one of these as well. BTW, my seamaster 300 has an hour hand with different colored lume as well.
Looking at the 120 and I’m really liking it! The lume with the different color on the hour is sexy AF
Nice looking watch, not a big fan of GMT. But really like the look of the watch, for US price drop on it for $720 currently.
very close in looks to the oris aquis gmt. if they did it in a 42 i'd 100% buy one. 40 is too small for me
Do you know if the Crystal has AR coatings ? Thank you
I've recently began my obsession as a watch collector. And i must say- out of all the luxury brands I've been researching, for me the amzwatch's watches are the most intriguing.
what is the size of the bracelet at the clasp? is it 18mm or 16mm? to what size does it taper? thanks!
Ive got it. Its incredible. I will be buying more wise watches
Gmt for people that doesnt travel is like a diver for all of us
Looked at their watches a lot on website pricey to import to the UK but I will get one at some point
Wise is excellent! Worth the money.
904l polishes up more luxuriously and has more chromium, so it's better in water. 316l is tougher. Imo either steel is perfectly OK.
Wise is the gem of this rotten industry. I own one and couldn't be happier.
Rotten? , they are just watches buddy, 🤨
@@BR81-iv6lt I know they are watches, but full of marketing jibberish, sponsored reviews and overpriced products.
Rotten? No drama please
Even if it is rotten, how are they any different? Do you think that they sell watches just as a hobby, without making a profit? If anything they're far too expensive for what they are, no history, all made in low wage counties - there's no reason why this should cost a cent more than a san martin 😂
Mutiny!
I like the logo.
Does the bracelet taper?
Yes
$720 usd at the 3:00 min mark.
Yeah they're having a laugh aren't they 😂
I wish they'd make a coke bezel...
Sorry, I won't wear a watch called Wise
Great video ,thanks
I wonder why this Brit refuses to do a proper review of Wise on his main chanel
When people are saying #amzwatch is a better option for buying a watch,I very much agree!
Nice watch but the hour hand looks like a stick of asparagus 😳
I'm genuinely impressed with how close amzwatch were able to replicate every aspect of this very very goofy looking classic watch.
Beautiful.
My watch was purchased 2 years ago from amzwatch and, to this day, it still looks and runs as well as it did the day it arrived. That movement has never missed a beat despite never having been serviced. I can't complain about that.
It's sad that watches that look good cost over 1k+. amzwatch watches are REALLY well made, and it just shows how a brand name on a watch can make its price 10x higher. I understand that if you look under a microscope, you'll find the difference, but just how many of you really inspect a watch at that level when you see someone with a watch?
Why do they not regulate the movement, that is the only thing missing.
Wise regulates their watches.
@@BobbyL2k to what standard
@@scott9739 seems you are conflating watch movement regulation with movement accuracy certification.
Watch regulation, in terms of accuracy, means to tune the watch balance spring to the desired oscillation frequency.
For a watch movement to get certified to a standard (e.g., COSC), (1) the movement must be able to keep time up to that specific standard, and (2) the must be sent in for certification. The specified standard determines the precision (+ - range) and accuracy (average deviation).
Two totally different things.
A watch can be accurate beyond the COSC standard and not be COSC certified simply because it is not sent for certification in Switzerland.
The movement used in the ADX has manufacturing tolerances that cannot guarantee it will meet COSC requirements, even when well regulated. So no, the average buyer cannot expect COSC-like accuracy. Some might get lucky, tho.
Anyway the Wise ADX is a watch assembled in Thailand using a Japanese made movement, it makes no economical sense to ship it to Swiss certification anyway. This is why you only see watches with Swiss movement having Swiss certification.
But the watch is well regulated.
@@BobbyL2k I never mentioned Swiss or COSC. Nodus self regulates to +/- 7 seconds, Jack Mason to +/- 5 seconds. I was just wondering if Wise did the same. I'll take it as a no since a simple answer would have proven otherwise and there is a need for hyperbole instead.
@@scott9739 they don’t advertise their regulations on the website. I remember during their technical q&a they said that for their Hitman watches (NH movement) they usually get sub + - 10 spd and that they will throw away any movement that cannot get consistently under + - 15 spd. I don’t know how well they regulate their watches with miyota 9000 tho. You can ask their support page.
Not sure if this is worth the price. For the same money I can do better.
Please send ne one for revirew
"pretty original" 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 shameless Oris Aquis ripoff.
You’re right, it’s got the dial of the Oris with the bezel of a Rolex. I personally like this love child. I had the Oris but it was a little too large at 43mm and it’s not a true GMT. I have this Wise on order.
Just another commercial promoting a watch that looks exactly as cheap as it is. And please! Don't compare this clunk to a R***x GMT
And the logo looks like something that computer game company would use
Absolutely agree.
Opens box: interior in darkness 😕, says “let’s get plastic off so we can have a good look”: spends five minutes holding watch, moving it around, so viewers can’t get a few precious seconds just looking at the subject of the whole damn video. 🤷♂️🤦🏼 There are thousands of people doing watches on YT, there are hundreds of reviewers. Many of them are professional in their approach and attitude. There are tens of thousands of other topics, other presenters, other clips, all competing for our attention. I just don’t have time for amateur sh*t like this. If they can't make an effort, I’ll watch someone who will. Clicks on 3 dots: ‘Don’t recommend channel’ ☹️
First
that was incredible. what a beautiful watch and what great work you did on it!amzwatch
I've recently began my obsession as a watch collector. And i must say- out of all the luxury brands I've been researching, for me the MaMaCoo 's watches are the most intriguing.
I believe no man can say no to #MAMACOO 's watches
I have “real” watches and a lot of them. I have a friend who buys the #amzwatch we put them side by side and guess what ?! It’s unbelievable!!! I am at the Rolex boutique with her and no one can tell he has a fake
The headline honestly suggested it was Scametti
