- These are the watches Vladimir Putin has given his troops as they kill people in Ukraine. 2000 dead already. Are you proudly wearing yours as you watch the bombing of civilians? THIS IS WHAT THE VOSTOK WATCHES ARE!
In early 2010, Vostok Watch Factory filed for bankruptcy and their official website was disabled. The Factory has been split in more than 40 juridical entities, most of them no longer have links with watchmaking.
Fortis just when into bankruptcy so? doesnt make them bad its just that times have changed.
Its makes them bad because they are bad watches. Why are you so upset abut a watch you don't own? People go on about the history but its not the same company it been bought by someone else who are just using the name and making bad watches.
@@TheNomadsLens I do own one along side the same casio you showed. For my personal preference i think they have the most bang per buck even over casio.
You like it good for you. DOn't tell me I should like it.
Almost all of the watch companies aren’t the same founding families anymore....take Swatch Group and Richemont for example.
It’s just the way it is in this era. The further we are in time from the founding of companies the more likely that the companies have nothing in common with the original founders and their descendants. It’s not just watches either.
These are basic Russian watches based on old technology. They are what they are. I own 3 and find them quite charming with a real history. They are very comfortable to wear, and I consider myself fortunate to own them. Enjoy them for what they are, no more no less. And I adore that Made in Russia logo. I want to thank the men and women who built these watches for us all to enjoy.
Exactly...& I intend to buy at least one very soon. They're not quite as accurate as the fine mass produced Swiss movements BUT are more durable...& what other new mechanical jewelled watch can be bought for this kind of money? Answer: None...
They do have more "upmarket" ranges that use Seiko mechanical movements BUT they're far more expensive. I think they're quite fabulous in their own utilitarian & practical way...& of course serviceable too.
Send me a link to buy
I m not ablt to check out at their website
I like that positive thoughts
Thank you for helping me spread the word that these watches are junk. With every comment it helps with the engagement algorithm pushing my video further with the recommendations. Please feel free to add more comments. I really appreciate your help and support in making this video a success. 💏
A couple of things I noted. (I bought a proper Vostok Amphibia '100' series watch a month ago)
1. The Komandirskies are not the variant of choice. The unmarked rotating bezel is a stupid idea on the Komandirskie and one of the reasons I didn't go for that model. You would have seen that in photos before you picked it, so you've only got yourself to blame there.. The Amphibia is more logical with its rotating marked bezel.
2. The dial of the Komandirskies are pretty bland and school-clock looking compared to the Amphibia. But not helped that you picked possibly the blandest dial of all the Vostok models and the blandest looking of all the Komandirskies. But again, why you're complaining about that, I dunno because you chose the bland dial variant yourself.
3. The crown has a clutch, and is designed to be wobbly, so it is not easily bent or damaged via being accidentally struck. If I could show you what the clutch mechanism looks like inside, you would understand why it wobbles and appreciate the engineering of it, instead of going off just the wobbly feel alone.
4. You said you were unsure how waterproof it is. A quick search gives the Komandirskie water resistance as similar/same to the Amphibia. Look at the caseback- it has the very well engineered 2 piece caseback and that is very, very robust.
5. The issue with the date adjustment- I never had any of that with my Amphibia. You got a bad one, unfortunately.
6. The straps are all crap. We all know that. We don't buy them to keep the shitty straps on them. I had a stainless Shark mesh strap here in the mail before the watch even arrived. I never wore my Amphibia with the crappy strap. I took it off straight away. I also don't recommend you buy the narrow 18mm strap case like you did. You should have got the 22mm wide strap/case variant as it is nicer.
My Amphibia has run perfectly so far and its one of my favorites in terms of its solid feel, weightiness, reliability and the compliments its had so far, from people who think it looks more expensive than it really was. And the stainless mesh bracelet (which I sized myself at home because it was too fiddly for my watch dealer) ups the look and feel by a whole lot. What you bought here is pretty much the anti-christ/complete opposite of Vostok I would have recommended you to buy.
Love to see a video. Please make one amd post link.
Solid feel? I haven't seen one that I'd consider solid feeling.
Probably the worst watch review I’ve seen, please don’t continue.

@Camille Desmoulins its funnier than your video, Whats that you're to much of a spunktrumpet to make a video. Agreed

Not a fan of this Komandirskie design, but this is the worst watch review I have ever experienced. You bought a $40 watch (new!) you didn't like, just to make a 23min. video, repeating how much you don't like it, and then you return it to the seller asking for your money back (cause you don't like it). Seriously? This watch is still a far superior product than your efforts at film making and watch reviewing. It's just silly.
Its the worst watch review because I didn't say I like it? Are you saying I don't have the right to to my own opinion? Where do you live? Tell me which part of the review is wrong?
Do the hands line up?
is the lume bad?
Is the time keeping very bad?
Its it poorly made with cheap metal?
Is the date faded?
Why does the beszl move?
Do you own this watch?

If you can do better lets see your video. If you're too scared to mae a video then don't criticize other because you're to scared.
@@TheNomadsLens I didn't say it's the worst watch review, just the worst watch review I have experienced. There may be worse reviews, I don't know. I too have the right to an opinion. I don't have to make videos to be able to say I don't like a video, just like you don't have to make watches to say you don't like a watch.
it's the worst watch review but not the it's the worst watch review. wow you really are dumb. You're so much of a coward to make videos. Which part of my video is wrong coward?
@@TheNomadsLens As much as I crticize your work, I never called you names and insulted you personally, did I? I just didn't like your video, I think it's shallow and unprofessional. It's not informational, as you lack knowledge on the subject you are reviewing. It's not very entertaining, quickly gets repetitive. I skip forward and it's the same narrative. Many others (all I've watched) do a much better job than you. All I see here is you pathalogically insulting everything that comes into contact with you. Calling the watch a "junk", and me a "dumb coward" for commenting with an opinion. You didn't like the watch and I didn't like your video. Now, after repeatingly insulting me, I don't like you either.
"This watch is still a far superior product than your efforts at film making and watch reviewing. It's just silly." I find that instling. When you make your own video which is better then come back to me but as your a coward and just like to troll people i don't expect a video from you.
I think you understand nothing about watches....

A word of warning to all, regarding the watch.
This watch is a tool watch.
Not a watch for tools !!!
tool watch? it tell you the time just like every other watch. I think you got it wrong this was is made for tools
nav san He’s insulting you because he’s calling you a tool, which is an insult.
@Alexander Vickers and your point is?
nav san I don’t have a point, I was just explaining what he was saying.
Sarcasm is "a sharp, bitter, or cutting expression or remark; a bitter gibe or taunt". Sarcasm may employ ambivalence, although sarcasm is not necessarily ironic. Most noticeable in spoken word, sarcasm is mainly distinguished by the inflection with which it is spoken and is largely context-dependent

How do you change the time? The way I do it is pull the crown out, How do you change the time?
@@TheNomadsLens pull the crown out all the way to position 3 to set time
Put into position 2 you’ll hear the winding screws
put it back in position 1
Go from 8:00 to 12:00 to change dates
Thats the way I do so why did you say I don't know how to change the time. BTW you have to hold the crown out as you change the time on these watches so it look like you have no idea on how to even change the time...…. Don’t give them a good wrap because you don’t know how to use the watch.
@@TheNomadsLens AFTER SETTING THE TIME YOURE PUTTING IT IN THE WRONG POSITION!!!!!!! YES YOU PULL IT OUT ALL THE WAY TO SET IT, NO YOU DONT JUST PUT IT BACK IN AND SCREW IT IN
What do you mean putting in the wrong position? do you mean I should have put in the bin after setting the time? I think the best thing for you to do is make a video and show everyone how to set the time and then put in the bin.
you "just couldn't wear it anymore" after two days?

Wish u good luck 😕
I don't know anything about watches, and I've never worn one, but after watching your video and reading your comments, I bought this one. It's epic. I'm going to buy some more as gifts.
Congratulations. These are the watches Vladimir Putin has given his troops as they kill people in Ukraine. More than 2,100 residents of Ukraine's besieged city of Mariupol have been killed since hostilities began, the local authorities say, raising the toll by almost 1,000 since Wednesday Are you proudly wearing yours as you watch the bombing of civilians? Food and water scarce and the power grid obliterated. THIS IS WHAT THE VOSTOK WATCHES ARE!
@@TheNomadsLens dude shut up.
@@TheNomadsLens Are you bot or maniac? You reply the same things to several people down there
When to shoes fits for the fan Putin boys there is only one thing to say.
@@TheNomadsLens same reply as before, it's Bullshit. Many people I know - including me - own these watches and absolutely despise Putin. Terrible, short-sighted conclusion you draw there.
This is a retro design watch as it’s been produced since the First World War. It was made as a utilitarian watch that is robust and fairly waterproof. For the price they are still excellent value. Simply tearing it apart as being useless is missing the whole point of the watch and when it was originally designed. The watch contains many clever innovations which were developed in a tight budget and have been proved very successful over time.
I suggest you buy a Rolex and then you’ll have no reason to complain. To sum up your review was insulting in the extreme.
I have Rolex's, JLC, Zenith, IWC, breitling, Omega etc check out my other videos. BTW follow up video

"a watch that screams to the world I am poor!" Is what you said in response to someone who said they liked the watch.
This is disappointing to see from a watch enthusiast. Watch collecting isn't about showing off to everyone how rich you are.

The one thing that viewers have to know about this review.
He's clearly over hyping and exaggerating what he sees to be negative points.
It's a $50.00 watch.
For what you pay, you get a lot of durability and functionality.
I have several of these Vostok watches along with a collection of much, much more expensive western watches and I can tell you that the Vostok products are worth the money. Change the strap (I put NATO straps on all of mine), remember to wind it in the morning and you'll love it.
Don't let biased, subjective reviews like this influence you.
This guy clearly has some sort of an axe to grind with Vostok.
I’m sorry if you don’t like my honesty, in fairness I don’t like your lies.
@@TheNomadsLens - well that's your prerogative, but I don't tell lies.

@@TheNomadsLens look in the mirror lol
@BatmanXC And?
The Vostok is an interesting little beast. The leather straps and bracelets are immediate throwaways. The wobbly crown is actually a engineering choice as it takes the lateral pressure off the keyless works when the watch is being hand wound. Just pure practicality - remember this was and is a military watch and not made for owners/collectors that delicately and lovingly wind their watches. It is cheaply finished. And I agree with some of what you say about dial and bezel, but there are a million flavors of Vostok. Yes all equally cheap with a few exceptions, but that appeals to some. You can certainly find your flavor in case/dial/Bezel with Vostok.
Well! After watching your video I just had to get one. I can agree on the quality of the watch strap, it is shocking. The watch itself is brilliant keeps really good time, ticks away nicely, looks good on your wrist and is a good talking point.
These are my findings, I love the watch!
Good for you, As long as you like it thats all that matter.
It's built like their tanks. Crude and simple to maintain. Russia!
It costs less than 50 usd (in Russia) and you expect Hublot quality out of it? 😂
What I expected was a
watch that didn't run 60+ sec fast a day 😂
Who’s lume last more than 60 sec 😂
Hands that line up 😂
That was not made out tin and poorly made 😂
Why is a CrapStok watch with a gimmick crown good? 😂
What did you expect when you clicked on the video? Did you read the title? JUNK Vostok Komandirskie is the worst watch I have ever experienced. Did you expect the ass kissing video that this watch is great with a title like that? I made it very clear from the title this is worst watch I have ever experienced so you knowingly watch the video then bitched and cried.
I don't think you quite understand the mindset of the Vostok community. You're absolutely right, by most watch standards they appear to be absolute crap but in other ways they are pure genius. Let me explain. The Komandirskies like this one are really, really cheap and look tacky granted, but look at the amount you paid for it. Vostok straps and bracelets everyone knows are so notoriously bad the first thing anyone does is chuck it and stick something decent on. And the lume can be very hit and miss but I have Chinese watches that are the same, if not worse. The watch you have here is a chrome plated brass model and I agree, they look crap and cheap BUT if you'd spent a little extra there are now stainless models which also have good 100m water resistance. It means you can swim with it unlike the model of Komandirskie you show hear and 99% of Chinese looky-likey diver watches. Not all Vostoks are created equal.
Step up to the Amphibia is great, and shares the same movement for about £50 and you get 200m water resistance. The watches themselves aren't always perfect cosmetically but owners just love to mod them with new bezels, hands, perhaps a dial, and straps/bracelets. After this you end up with something quirky and unique and yes, often the mods cost more than the base watch but the base watch is sound. And it's just something some people like to do. It has a reliable movement that doesn't need servicing for over 10 year and that keeps reasonable time for a mechanical watch and that wobbly crown IS a design feature. It doesn't matter whether or not other watch manufacturers use it. NO OTHER car manufacturer other than Porsche is stupid enough to stick a high powered engine in the BACK of a sports car but it's what Porsche do!
You bang on about "Why didn't Rolex do it if it's so good?" The answer is back in the 1960s the Russians needed a dive watch for their military and were not going to buy licenses from the Swiss, so they came up with their own design which from an engineering point of view is far superior to most dive watches, and if the Swiss had made it instead of the Soviets you'd be singing their praises about how good it is. The wobbly crown detaches from the stem which means any sudden shock to it won't damage the movement. But yeah, go on keep knocking that which you are actually showing your ignorance about. To those who understand Vostock watches you are coming across as arrogant and not knowing what on earth you're on about. Think about it, it might not be the prettiest thing on the planet and it's not perfect (a unidirectional bezel should be standard) but a Vostok watch costs less than 1% of a Rolex that you keep comparing it to. If it wasn't a Soviet design from 50 years ago you'd probably a small fortune if it had "Swiss Made" on the dial. Seriously, look at some of the videos about Vostok's history and you might start to think a little bit differently about them.
But at the end of the day it's about having FUN. You don't HAVE to buy the watch if you don't like it. But some guys just like to mess about with stuff and why not? Just because you don't happen to like something you don't have to dis it for people that do, we all have to get along and it's not worth falling out over something as totally irrelevant as a watch, I mean SERIOUSLY - some of the comments, geesh! You have the think of Vostock owners a bit like VW camper van owners. You can own one from the 60's that's slow, noisy, breaks down, but has bags of character and fun, or if you just want an easy life and a comfortable camper van experience you can splash out on a new VW T6 California. Both do a job, the same job, just like watches. So, chill and have fun; if you don't like this watch and think it's crap then that's absolutely fine but if you buy it as a piece of fun that has a weirdly painted dial and a useless bezel, hey, what's the harm of someone enjoying that? Each to their own, and just enjoy life. And chill out, just because someone doesn't necessarily agree with your point of view it doesn't make what they say a lie. Don't take things so personally, we're all here to share. Have a great day.
wow that was a long rant. I got bored and stopped reading but you basic say weeh weeh weeh weeh weeh weeh weeh weeh weeh
@@TheNomadsLens shows how ignorant you really are the guy gave you a good argument and told you the valves of owning a vostok watch and you act like a little child because you really have no come back other than trash talk
Could you brake down his long rant and give me the less boring points. Thanks. You own this watch right?
nav san Firstly, let’s try NOT to get off on the wrong foot again. I own several Vostoks which I enjoy modding and a 1960s Komandirskie that keeps excellent time. I don’t own this particular Komandirskie at the moment, but I plan on getting one to strip the chrome and give it an antique brass finish. Secondly, Russian watches were built in a certain way because of the communist Soviet regime of the time. They haven’t really caught up with 21st century manufacturing but why should they when they can trade on quirkiness and charm rather than having to go to quartz and compete with the likes of Casio? Waterproofing is almost genius on the Amphibians as the greater the water pressure the better the case seals and it seals so the gaskets don’t need replacing (think Kilner jar = Vostok vs screw-top jam jar = every other sub/diver) Downside = acrylic crystal is easily scratched. Also, 10 year servicing is possible; yes, Rolex now do 10 year service intervals. Basically, enjoy what you wear. You don’t happen to like this watch but you also said you didn’t like the design of the Amphibian dial and that’s why you didn’t get one. There are literally dozens of dials and case styles in the Amphibian lineup and, dare I say it, in the Komandirskie range. To compare it to a Seiko 5 costing 5x the price isn’t really fair. That’s like comparing a 1970s Mini to a modern day one i.e. they’re totally different beasts.
@@TheNomadsLens I'm not going to break down his rant for you I'm sure you can get someone to read it out for you it's your video so you should at least read what people put up in the comments section or if you cant be bothered simply turn off comments
Its a military watch built to a design first laid down in the late sixties, its not fancy and yet is fully functional and these were tested to destruction in a simulated sea bed submarine rescue to 800metres and certified 200m due to the ingenious glass and back cover design. Vostok straps have long been a bone of contention, I tried mine on a 5 ring NATO and it looks just wrong, so put it on a proper divers ND strap and looks just so much better. It really is horses for courses, if you want a Ferrari of a watch, buy a Rolex or Omega, if you want a Ford Cortina of a watch then a Vostok is very much that, my main wearer is early eighties and is absolute top dog for accuracy and I can get it wet too, that the waterproofing is still active 40 years on says a lot.
I've an old Soviet Komandirskie. It's was made in the early 80s. It has the bronzed submarine face and the date wheel. Considering these watches were made enmass for the Soviet military, finesse wasn't high on the list of priorities. They were built to take severe punishment. Along with low manufacturing cost, reliability was the main consideration. I use this watch as my everyday beater timepiece. It keeps excellent time for an old mechanical movement. It looses about a minute a week. It's waterproof too. Not like the Amphibia, which is a darn good low cost diving watch. However, it's good enough for swimming, snorkeling, sailing, kayaking etc. It's a very reliable low cost timepiece. I've fitted a NATO style strap to mine. The original straps are awful. I was happy to see fitting a NATO strap to a Soviet watch, didn't cause a chain reaction that exploded the watch 🤣. I've heard the Soviet Komandirskies, are tougher than the modern Russian made models. Vostok Komandirskie watches are great no frills,, low cost beater watches 😃.
why did this guy even buy the watch? from the moment he opened the box, he's already talking shit about it.
This guy bought the watch because it his own money so he can buy what the fuck he likes. From the monent he opened the box he coild see this was shit that why he said it was shit and not like the ass lickers who don't know or own this shit watch.

I think that Vostok watches are just cheap and fun. I don't think that anyone really believes that they're particularly superior to other brands but they can serve as an approachable way to enjoy watch collecting. It doesn't really need to be any more complicated than that.
I think this review is terrible. My father died while fighting in Afganistan when I was young. He was killed in a P.O.W. camp. His best friend who served with him (SGT. Walken) survived the camp. SGT. Walken came round one morning and interrupted my viewing of spongebob squarepants. I can't really remember exactly what he said to me, but I do remember him handing me this watch saying he hid it in his rectum while he was being held prisoner.
Great watch. 10/10 would receive as a gift from dead dads best friend via rectum again.
Do you think if you dad had a better watch he would be alive? I'm just saying maybe he should have had a better watch then he would not be dead. I like soldiers that don't get captured when invading another country.

BTW Boomer why only 1 comment today? with other 20 comment thred you should be posting on all.
I think you misunderstood me. I always said Vostok watches were junk and I said you are an idiot. I would say it is an easy mistake to make as your an idiot who can't makup his mind.
As for crying - only one here is crying is you - the rest of us are all pointing at you and laughing, please refer to your own comments - do any of people who are ridiculing you and laughing at you again, I would say it is an easy mistake to make boomer. What's your instagram? 😀 This is fun, can't wait for tomorrow. 😋

What do you mean baby girl, mate, dude?
Wow this may be the worst review on YT. It’s also racist.
Racist? Wow this may be the worst comment on YT.
nav san “We’re talking about the Soviet Union here, you know, the one that doesn’t exist anymore? You know the one that lost the Cold War? So if they’re so great , where are they?”
Sounds to me like a salty Pom who probably voted leave because he still hasn’t come to terms with the fact that the British Empire is history. You know the one that the Sun never set on? You know the ones who cocked up Suez?
Right so just because a nation was once much more powerful than it is today, we use that to malign products made in that country? Idk man looks a bit like a prejudice against the USSR.
Seriously, why was the outcome of the Cold War relevant to this watch? Or did you just bring it up because you’re a little racist?
And how is that racist? Soviet Union has all but broken up, Cold War is over and Soviet Union has all but broken up, And where are they now?
You sounds to me like a salty dumbass who is crying over a watch that you don't even own. I voted to stay. British Empire is history and the world is a better place for it, now all we got to do is get the bitch out of the buckingham palace. who cocked up Suez and does that make this was less junk or you a dumbass? I have prejudice on junk watches. Sounds like you have prejudice about a Pom.
Seriously, why was the outcome of the British Empire is history, cocked up Suez, berext relevant to this junk watch that you don't own Or did you just bring it up because you’re a BIG racist?
nav san And how is that racist? British Empire has all but broken up, it’s the twenty-first century and the British Empire has all but broken up, And where are they now?
Just because it’s true doesn’t make it relevant. What are products from India terrible because of open defection? Would you criticise a Chinese watch by saying that they aren’t a democracy? If you did it would be racist.
Mate I brought the BE up precisely because it has nothing to do with anything? The collapse of the British Empire has zero relevance. I did exactly what you did.
I thought it was obvious that I was mocking the UK only to prove how pointless and irrelevant mocking the USSR is.
The outcome of the Cold War has absolutely nothing to do with the watch and wasn’t pertinent to your review. But you threw it in for what reason? I asked you why, you still haven’t said. I’m left to believe it must be racist.
The outcome of the British Empire has absolutely nothing to do with this either and I brought it up only as an example. I don’t care about Brexit. I didn’t bring it up because I’m racist I used it to attack you personally.
nav san you ask “how is that racist” to bring up the Soviet Union’s demise?
You then also ask “How was the outcome of the British Empire is history, cocked up Suez, Brexit, relevant to this?”
Well if the watch is shit and it’s Russian, and the review is shit and it’s British. Right but you call me “a BIG racist.” So you proved my own point.
What a mug! Can't beat a vostok!
Yes you can, Seach my videos you will find a 12 years old girl beat this watch.
Hilariously awful review! 😂
Yep a review of a awful watch. You must be glad you didn't buy it. You're welcome.
I have 3 amphibias and 2 komanderskie and I love them, this is the worst review I’ve ever watched. This is a vintage watch and should look like the way it does.
This is a brand new watch and not vintage, Clearly you don't even know about watch for a troll who claims to have 3 amphibias and 2 komanderskie, if you have these watch which I don't think you have why do you need to watch video about watches you own?
Firstly, I meant these watches were first produced in 1965 and are still produced the same way. Secondly i watch videos like that to see what other people think about them, but clearly you arent intelligent enough to understand that.
The point of these watches is their history and not comparing them to a rolex or omega.
Where in the video was I comparing them to a rolex or omega?
Firstly, In early 2010, Vostok Watch Factory filed for bankruptcy and their official website was disabled. Which is the real company Vostok EU or the other? Secondly you watch videos like this to see what other people think about them then then get triggered when they don't agree with you, clearly you arent intelligent enough to understand that we have freedom.
More like the "worst watch review I have ever experienced", as your review only mentions the negatives and quite frankly, it's not a balanced review. Vostok watches are tool watches, and they get the job done. And the main reason why watch lovers get them is because of the fact they are easy to mod and its horological history. Fine if you don't like the watch, but you could have mentioned something positive about the watch or the brand's history. I got 6 Vostoks in my collection and never had an issue with them. But I do agree the straps/bracelets aren't great, so most watch enthusiasts swap it out for a different strap/bracelet.
As you say it a tool watch and they have a job which is to tell the time. The time on this will be wrong everyday. Couldn't find your balanced review. Why?

@@TheNomadsLens but it's not wrong every day as you say. It's standard with most automatic mechanical watches to have the time off by a bit, including luxury watches like Rolex (I have inherited a Rolex from my dad and I noticed that). If a Vostok watch becomes less accurate, you can adjust it by opening up the watch. There are videos on UA-cam on how to do this, so it will make the watch more accurate.

Everything you disliked about it is what gives it it's charm. That's strictly my opinion. I think if you take it for what it is, and doesn't pretend to be anything more, it's a damn good watch. The thing is tough as nails and I get compliments on mine all the time.
That's strictly your opinion and you're welcome to it as is my opinion and the fan boys should chill.
Putin says to buy this watch.
So, buy this watch...
Trump is that you?
Nope, it's Hillary Clinton seeing if she can make some more $$ after selling 1/3 of America's uranium supply to Putin.:)
I love the line "this is a watch you give a 10 year old" I feel that's an accurate statement. Then followed by "I just couldn't wear it anymore"
You have no idea what are you talking about. I own 2 Vostok and 20 other from Casio. Citizen, invicta, bulova, and tissot. Vostok still my everyday wear watch. Keep time perfect, it’s a work watch this is not a fashion watch, the crown is like that to serve a purpose, this is a Russian watch not Chinese or Japanese. Read the history of the watch and brand. You need to educate yourself before you make your self look dumb.
These are the watches Vladimir Putin has given his troops as they kill people in Ukraine. 5000 dead already. Are you proudly wearing yours as you watch the bombing of civilians? THIS IS WHAT THE VOSTOK WATCHES ARE! Read the history of the watch and brand. educate yourself before you make your self look dumb.
@@TheNomadsLens this comment just made me buy a Vostok watch
So you agree with Putin. I guess you would be one Putins guys who gang raped the Ukraine woman as they made her kids watch.
I picked up this model a couple of weeks ago. It's become one of my favourite watches. I can wear it in almost any situation. The main minus might be the non-quickset date.
Glad you like the watch. I didn't like it. Too many Vostok fan boys try and force other to like what they like. and get triggered when you don't.

They were never meant to look refined. That's exactly why we like them.
I don't think they're selling like hotcakes among collectors. the hype has died down and the majority of people who have bought these I've either sold them or throw them away. I don't think the military uses these watches anymore because they are so bad. Do you have one?

@navsan well, no, actually it's my collection, but there are several model for sale on ebay, you will find some interesting ! 😊
But they ould also be bad and yours is 100%. how about this you make a video and show everyone how great your watches are. BTW whats your insta im sure you have lots of photos of your watch.
It's a $30 mechanical watch that's been using the same movement for decades... Everything you listed as being problematic is well known and widely discussed on the web; so much so, that people buy Vostoks *because* of their little idiosyncrasies. Why buy it if you already know what to expect?
But if your ego is so fragile and so delicate that me saying that this is a junk watch ruffles your tail feathers as a front to your delicate sensibilities then guess what you can make your own video telling everyone how much you love this watch.

Probably was a decent watch for what it was made for, but today there are so many options that it’s value can’t compare. That being said for 50$ it would be worth owning just for its history in my opinion.
I'm with you on this. Two different cosmonauts chose the vostok amphibia in the early 350 case when they went into space. No swiss company will sell you a genuine space watch for just $60-100
@Jonas Rodger cosmonauts didn't chose the vostok amphibia it all they had no choice in the matter. You can buy a Casio for $60-100, cosmonauts have used and still use Casio. The fact you can't buy a swiss watch for $60-100 just shows how over priced they're.

I have had my 436783 ( the same watch, except mine come with a diver's bezel and a nato strap) for two years now.
Can't complain at all. Any scratches are quickly removed with toothpaste. Tough as nails.
You do have to change your mindset when you start using mechanical watches. I.e., do not think of the second hand as a time keeping tool. (See it as showing elapsed time, but not to tell you what time it is to the very second.)
It will never be as accurate as G shock, but it will always be a conversation piece.
In my case, it fits into my airline job nicely, giving me a couple of daily rituals ... I set it every morning with the current time using the plane's GPS, and I wind it up while enjoying my afternoon coffee.
Working with it, I find it much easier timing with an analog than a digital watch. I can keep both hands free, and not have to fumble around with pushers, and its much easier keeping a mental image of where a hand was than trying to remember a number on a digital display.
Give yourself time to understand it for what it is and the world it came from, and you will enjoy your Vostok.

Good health is reborn in personal brightness
The adult baby keeps repeating over and over again how he’s been effected negatively about a $40 watch. Maybe in another 45 years he’ll mature and stop being terrorized by a $40 watch.
And?
First off, the crown is supposed to be wobbly; that is how it's designed. It is like that because back in the 50s and 60s, to build an affordable watch, creative design was better than brute-force crown-guards. Built wobbly, the watch does not need crown-guards yet can take a hit to the crown without compromising the water resistance of snapping the stem.
Secondly, in order to advance the date by moving forward and backward over midnight, all you have to do is move it like an hour further. In the video, I can even see the date reset occurring as the date wheel briefly moves in the opposite direction. Once it moves far enough, it will quietly click, from there, just move it forward again and it will change forward. It's that simple.
You are entitled to your opinion, but please, use your brain and not your snobbery as your judge.
Thanks for the info,

Can you tell me what type of brute-force would damage the crown that it needs to have wabbly crown? anything that would impact the crown would also brake your hand. So your hand would be broken but you're cheap watch would be ok. Why does the watch have crown guards? The watch is 30m water resistance so you wouldn't even shower with it on. today is 9th and the watch date is 11th so you have to move forward and backward, forward and backward , forward and backward, forward and backward, over midnight. whats the benefit?
You are entitled to your opinion, but please, use your brain and not your snobbery that this is a good watch.
BTW do you own this watch?
@@TheNomadsLens It depends on what model you get, but the low quality is just a consequence of the low cost. However, they do hold up pretty well in day to day wear.
It's a watch not intended to be as accurate as reliable. In other words, it's Soviet brute force design.
Vostok is infamous for a general lack of product improvement over time. Both Vostoks that I own have a rotatable bezel with either numerals or little dots.
That issue is just a consequence of what I admit to being terrible quality control. With some work, the hands can be realigned without too much difficulty.
It's no Rolex or Omega, but at the end of the day, the time can still be read.
If you read up on the origins of Vostok watches, you soon find out that the designers could not use any foreign patents such as crown guards. Damage to the crown, and subsequently the stem, could include dropping the watch while winding. These "innovations" are likely overkill, however that is what makes the Vostok so quirky.
The Amfibia is the Kommandirskie's cousin in the Vostok realm, it is also a dive watch intended for 200m max dive depth. As mentioned before, Vostok is infamous for lack of product improvement over time, which comes down to the fact that both the Kommandirskie and the Amfibia basically use the same case and movement.
The movement in these watches hasn't changed in many years, it is extremely outdated due to a lack of product improvement over time. These movements were first built before the quick-change date was a common complication. Even some vintage Rolexes don't have a quick-change date, it was just a sign of the times. It is frustrating, but you're fine if you never let the watch go unwound.
Sorry for the last bit, I was a little bit of an asshole there. I turned out the knee-jerk response because one of the Vostoks I own carries a very personal significance for me and my family's legacy. In short, the Vostok I wear today survived a desperate escape from Soviet Russia to Canada in the late 1900s.
BTW I do own the watch.
@@TheNomadsLens i own one my bezel has markings, i have adjusted it to run 4 seconds a day the acrylic crystal is there for more water resistance (more pressure pushes the plastic expanding the sides making it tighter) other watches dont have the wobbly crown because when it was being designed it was not allowed to use other patterns. Yes they have invented a new seal that does no need to be changed every 2 years. I can give you a watch makers link and what he thinks. Granted the strap is bad and the lume is useless but the same design was used since the 50s.
@Zane Domke
What are you talking about “watch not intended to be as accurate as reliable” That’s s stupid thing to say. What’s the point of having a watch that can’t tell you the time. The point of a watch is to tell you the time so how is it reliable if its not accurate. You might as well wear a brown watch which would be right 2 times a day and they will its reliable. “dropping the watch while winding” for people who drag the hands on the floor maybe. Vostok went bankrupt and now owned by someone else so its not even the same company it’s just the name you’re buying.

You tell people that we are basically murders for purchasing these watches, but apparently, it's OK with you to make some coin creating a video about them.
Yes. And?
You are obviously free to have and express your own opinion of the watch, but I believe your thoughts about fans of Vostok watches was a bit presumptuous. Many watch collectors and people just fascinated by watches have an affection for Vostok watches that is not just some kind of unfounded loyalty. Yes, the Amphibia is many people's favorite, but the Komandirskie has fans too. Beyond just their basic time keeping function, these watches also have a certain "character".
For some collectors, it takes time to develop an appreciation for them, as I've know a few who disliked the watch at first, and later it became one of their favorites. The history of how the design was born out of necessity in the 60's is also interesting. It's rather a remarkable piece of engineering with the floating crown, stem and internal clutch system, along with the two part case back/gasket where added pressure actually increase it's water resistance, but the way it contacts it, doesn't wear out the gasket. They can be regulated to be very accurate, are also very sturdy & reliable, and can go for many years without service, unlike many Swiss mechanical watches. They also have some unique dial designs, each with their own following, and with the "scuba dude' being one of most popular.
I personally have half a dozen Vostok watches, different styles and models, but find them all fascinating and interesting. My daily wearer is a Amphibia with the Scuba Dude and tri-color Nato strap. For many people, one of the coolest things beyond the inspired
engineering of it, are the interesting looks & designs of the dials which give Vostoks a unique appearance, unlike anything else. Anyway, even though you intentionally selected the most conventional looking dial and bezel, it's still a cool watch in it's own right, and you may eventually come around to appreciate it. Plus, where else could you get a unique watch, with a 17-jewel in-house mechanical movement that should last for many years, for a mere $40 bucks?
Nav, I agree with your obvious point that these nasty comments attacking you personally for a difference of opinion in your reviews is wrong & indefensible. It's never acceptable to insult someone just for disagreeing , or for appreciating something you can't understand.
Seriously: Please, check all hes comments below! (I just did that now.)

Mine ran a minute fast each day,but after adjusting it,it runs at about 3-5 secs late.It's neither rubbish nor fantastic.It works well for the money.
You get what you pay for. This is the cheap end of the range.
Only mechanicals from a real manufacturer (ie not knock off shitter factories operating out of a garage somewhere in south China) that is in a cheaper range is HMT from India. Buy one and you'll see how lovely Vostoks are.
Best bang for buck is definitely proper Chinese manufacturers like Beijing and Sea-gull for mechanicals. Seiko obviously as well but that money only buys the low end Seikos from Malaysian factories. Orients too.
Absolutely horrible review. I bought myself one over a year ago and still running strong and absolutely love it and for the band almost every budget was has very horrible cheap bands. When you’re only paying 20-25 bucks for a watch obviously the band probably isn’t going to be great and the watch probably isn’t going to have a silky smooth feel but that doesn’t matter what does is does the watch work does it keep time well now that’s what matters!!
Oh Karen the truth is still the truth even if your feelings are hurt it doesn't take the fact that it is the truth the way your feelings do not outweigh the truth. A watch that screams to the world I am poor!

Well, a friend sent me a Seiko 5 as a gift. I set the time and out it on, you are unable to wind by hand, and it started working instantly. After wearing it for a month straight, it is keeping time to the minute. I guess i was wrong about the Seiko quality. I can admit when i am wrong, unlike Mr. Nav who is wrong about Vostok watches.

This is by far the worst review I've seen on one of these watches, and its very clear he bought one for the sake of clickbaiting.
You're paying $60 for a mechanical, hand wound watch based on Russian technology. Did you really expect to be receiving a sea master?
These things are some of the best deals mechanical watches. You can mod them, they're accurate (unlike what you said), and they're cheap.
Some watches, like the 811818, are fucking beautiful too.
And before you spam your panic copy-paste, no, I'm not making fun of you for your English, and I'm not defending Russia. The watches are different from the Kremlin.
P.S.: Russia doesn't have a standard issue watch and not even the Soviets had one. No good commander is going to go into the field wearing a highly reflective, blingy ass Komandirski
I expect the watch to work. Which part of my video is wrong? worst review because I pointed out all the faults?
@@TheNomadsLens The fact that you're paying $60 for a watch and expecting it to be your $500 Seiko. You're getting a cheap Russian movement from a company that doesn't even exist anymore. You got what you paid for. It's $60.
In my experience, these aren't -20/+60 like it's listed, mine only drifts 10 seconds, which is pretty average.
As I said before I expect the watch to work. Which part of my video is wrong? worst review because I pointed out all the faults? I see you deleted your other comment before I could reply. are you say they lies and the No good russan commander don't wear this watch? then all there marketing is a lie?

Maybe one or two Russian commanders were given these as gifts, but the Russian military as a whole never got a standard issue watch. Neither did the soviets.

I think you're missing the point. I doubt anyone buys a Vostok to get a perfect timepiece. They have a charm to them and part of the charm is their clunkiness. For me the graphics on the scuba dude are really corny and really cool. And the bi directional bezel with the black and red dot's is useless but fabulous. Tragically I think the guys that run Vostok these days probably think the way you do and are attempting to make more contemporary watches. Big mistake if you ask me. There is no other brand like Vostok, they were a law unto themselves. They should be very careful with the products they make or they may well lose their mojo. Keep em weird!
You don’t buy a Vostok for its cutting edge technology. You wouldn’t buy a VW Bus for its speed and reliability. It's like a cult. I can't explain. I imagine chickens running through a dusty factory with pigeons sitting on a statue of Lennon. I own a couple of Scuba-Dood which are better than a Kormandirskie. But I love the Kormandirskies war on minimalism and modern taste. I can't explain it. I have a collection Vintage and new. It’s like an addiction help!
*"wHy diDn'T rOleX dO iT tHeN?"*
Do what? Make cheap watches that don't work? I don't know why don't they
I think people who criticise Vostok watches invariably know nothing of the history or back story of them. We know the straps are terrible, we know the crowns wobble (a design feature). A good analogy would be the Mini. There is no way on earth, the original mini is the best car ever made, but try and find someone who wouldn't want one. Vostoks are not meant to be competing with Rolex, but the huge choice of dials, bezels and other modding options, makes them attractive to people who are not watch snobs, but watch enthusiasts. I have several of these including Komandirskie's and an Amphibia Scuba Dude, and the Scuba Dude in particular has many design features which make you wonder where the boutique companies come to their pricing? As for the time, running fast or slow, these watches are easily adjusted and run very accurately after this is done.
Ultimately, you either love them or hate them, but I think that for the most part people who think that only expensive named brands are worth having, they will never appreciate them. Personally, I love them!
I do find it interesting that you compare it to a Chinese watch. A quick peruse of your channel, show that you have a great interest in China. Maybe, a little bias is clouding your judgement............?
Please don’t interrupt me while I’m ignoring you.
"Oh I don't know why your able to turn the bezel, makes no sense..."
"Oh its stiff??" Do u hear yourself? Lol Your a very preppy individual. Diva. Your the prime example of who this watch ISN'T for. A bit of research will tell u not only is it shock absorbant it requires it! Vostok movements are more accurate the harder your working. It was built for the Russian army so it had to be cheap and take a beating. It is and it will. In the army anything extra isn't good. Less is always more when it comes to a soldiers attire
Thank you for helping me spread the word that these watches are junk. With every comment it helps with the engagement algorithm pushing my video further with the recommendations. Please feel free to add more comments. I really appreciate your help and support in making this video a success. 💏
mostly right. wobbly crown is so the stem is not stressed if there is a case movement misalignment when screwed down. something some Omegas suffer from. The nicer amphibia is a triumph of good design overcoming poor production processes. the compressor case can withstand over 20atm without the high quality materials and precision fits of a Rolex and this is why the watch is of interest to me. I also own an MZ motorcycle which has a similar design ethic
oh i had 3 MZ bikes in the 1980 the ones with the tall tanks,real knacker busters .. jeff ..
You can change the date by going back to the 8 hour position and then to 12 instead of rotating full circle two times, at least on the Vostok 2416 automatic movement that mine has. Repeat until date adjusted. Also, depending on the case it will either feel tinny or like steel. They had supply issues and were making some components not from steel on the cheaper models. I got my self-winding Komandirskie (case no. 020) for 85$ and it works good. I tested it for accuracy and it is +10s daily. Pretty much like a Seiko 5, but better because you don't have to flail your arm like an idiot until it winds if it discharges.
You can spend 30$ more and get the full solid link bracelet for the price of a Seiko 5. The wobble is a feature. The Komandirskies and Amphibias are made to be shockproof. I believe they did it with the wobble because at the time they were designed, they needed to develop a new shockproof method because they could be sued by the likes of Rolex, Omega etc. for patent infringement. Had my Vostok fall on its crown and somehow it still worked.
For it running faster or slower more than 1 minute, take it to get demagnetized or let it discharge and try winding it again. If you overwind it, it can go crazy long before you break the main spring. I overwound mine and it gained 86 seconds on the day. After letting it unwind, it went back to 10 seconds a day. If it still doesn't work, I'm pretty sure the crown got hit or something in transit and it bent the main spring.
All in all, it is a cheap watch that can't approach better brands like Hamilton, Certina, Bulova, Breitling etc. but is a nice every day carry watch. It keeps the time okay.
the crown is suppossed to wobble.If you hate it that much send it to me.
Nice looking watch! I think I will buy one now. Thanks for the review!
Any time! Enjoy your watch.

@@TheNomadsLens It wobbles to prevent over-winding it dumbass.

@@TheNomadsLens it wobbles because it is linked to the movement through a cable and friction, instead of a "stick" (sorry for the term but I'm not english) like in traditional watches. In this way if you hit the crown by accident there is no risk of damaging the movement inside, while a traditional stick would damage the movement

I get you don't like it. But for a third the price of a Seiko 5, it's going to be a bit rough round the edges. Vostok spends far, far more time on ensuring durability and service life than appearance. There is a combination of a couple of factors- parts are deliberately built with loose tolerances between parts so as parts wear down they still function properly and also allows use of harder alloys than in other watches because deburring doesn't throw out part tolerances, and also allows buildup of grime without stopping function, and additionally a hugely overpowered mainspring results in the loud tick and reduced need for lubrication, plus helps to clear out grime buildup. They are designed to be regulated by the user, they spend less time in factory regulating and pass that saving on to the end user, same with dial decoration etc. This is typical of Soviet technology- things were built to be durable and user serviceable, not pretty. I've looked at museum collections of Kalashnikov pattern rifles, and they are much the same- often handguards don't quite fit right to the rifle and they are always overgassed. Using them is not a great experience. But they do work, and they will work through anything, and any failure is going to be able to be fixed with minimal tooling by the user. This is the same with cars like the Lada or Trabant, or Soviet radios, cameras, essentially every technical product. Are they "good"? No, not by Western standards. A seiko 5 is a much better watch, really. But they are a statement for right-to-repair and independence in the day and age of Apple and watch corporations that void your warranty if anyone but them pops the caseback that it's hard to ignore. I ask you this; the Casio F-91W is an unattractive digital with limited functions that is about a quarter the price of a G-shock. Would you make a video saying how you just don't get it? Why would you buy this when the alternative is so much better? And if you say no, because the F-91W keeps good time, then why would you not then make a video saying any automatic is bad because it keeps worse time? The objective appearance and capability of keeping time is not the reason people like watches.
You might want to check the price of them now. They're about same price are seiko.
many of them are cheaper than seikos dude and do u just hate them because of them being used by russian
Well you didn't pay Omega price for the watch.
The English always whinging.
Nope I paid more then a $1 which even for $1 is a rip off.
I have a Vostok Amphibia which I've had since May of last year, and it's been a great workhorse of a watch. Yes, I needed to regulate the watch a bit to improve the accuracy, but that was relatively easy to do (as long as you watch the videos that are easy to find and follow online). It took a little bit of time, but it was absolutely worth it. Before, it was gaining about 30-60 seconds every day or two, but afterwards, I only have to adjust the time about once a month or so. A truly solid watch. Can't say I know if this is the case with the Komandirskie which Nav San reviewed, but I can say that, at least with my Amphibia, it's been a rugged and reliable watch. Yes, I have heard of some quality control issues in regards to Vostok, but you have to remember that even the best manufacturers of watches have quality control issues. That's just the nature of something as intricate as watches. This guy's video deterred me from getting a Vostok for a while, and I instead got a Seiko 5. A few years later, and after doing a lot more reading, I decided to give them a chance, and so far, I don't regret it. For a brand new watch with an in-house movement that's under $100 USD... you honestly can't go too wrong with Vostok, although I will say that the Chinese market has been quickly catching up in that regard.
Glad you like your watch. wear it in good health but why are you and other fan boys to determined to force other to like this watch? Do you not belive in my right not to like somthing? You like it then you do you boo. from all you're other comments you're attaching me for having my own opinions.
@@TheNomadsLens You can like or dislike a watch, I just think, based on what you showed with the video on your 12 year old daughter apparently breaking it, that you might be misleading people on this.
Did you watch the video? daughter? I don't think you did. Maybe watch the full video before making comments. So you're watch has it and mine didn't. And? What makes me dislike this watch more are the fan boys who spend days trolling me and not just move on and say this guy didn't like the watch but I do and get on with there life but no just like you spending hours going on how much you love the watch (again like I said in the other comment I love my family and not a inanimate object). Just move on with your life.
Idk man... you did buy the absolute shittiest/cheapest model they offer. There is a legitimate reason that they do the wobbly crown thing, and from what I remember it had something to do with the soviets not wanting to have any design elements borrowed from western makers. They wanted a purely USSR designed movement. Also something about if it gets bumped hard the movement won't be affected, just the stem that is easily replaced. These watches are well known to have the occasional QC problem as well, so the functiinality issues you are having are not the norm. I have had 3 vostoks and they all functioned much better than yours and had no alignment problems. You can also mess with the movement and make it a good bit more accurate, although the accuracy you are getting is not typical from my experience. And dude. . The complaints about the looks are kinda on you. I imagine there were pictures of the watch where you got it. Did you ever think maybe it isn't the brand as a whole that sucks but rather this particular watch?
Can you tell me what type of brute-force would damage the crown that it needs to have wobbly crown? Anything that would impact the crown would also break your hand. So your hand would be broken but you're cheap watch would be ok. Why does the watch have crown guards? The watch is 30m water resistance so you wouldn't even shower with it on. Today is 9th and the watch date is 11th so you have to move forward and backward, forward and backward, forward and backward, forward and backward, over midnight. What’s the benefit?
The wind is a design feature. They are fabulous watches. I own very good watches and I think there needs to be an understanding of the engineering. They are very special.
The caseback design that is often lauded as an engineering marvel is based off older American designs. You can find exactly the same type of caseback design for water resistance on vintage 50s and 60s Bulovas. There must be others too. It's definitely not Vostok invented since they didn't do this back in the 60s. It's just a good idea they used as well. Nothing to be particularly ashamed or proud of. Just a good engineering decision.
better than overpaying for a rolex
Josephus Bilbao ehhh... not really overpaying

I have a Vostok that I paid $40 for at a flea market in the mid 90s. Never serviced. Still runs fine at +20 s /day. I have Seikos older than that still running fine too. A ten year service interval is more than often enough for a proper watch.

@@TheNomadsLens I own a different Vostok (Amphibia SE) , no one bought the name, they got over the finnancial issues they had an the factory where it's made is the same.

I watched the video expecting to see some arguments as to why the watch is bad (you could have talked about the precision for example that is worse than on some other mechanical watches) but you mostly criticizes aesthetical aspects. Btw the wobble of the crown is intended as the watch was built for the military, so the crown was built to last when the soldiers mistreated the watch.
Sure sure you own a different Vostok (Amphibia SE) To bad your to scared to make a video about the watches you don't own.

NOw, I was already planning on buying one, model no. 710059 and doing some mods on it, different bezel and bracelet as well as adjusting it to be as accurate as it can be. Just as one would do with any mechanical watch and the engineering skills to work on such a fine piece.

UA-cam suggested this video to me awhile ago. You have had a complete blast haven't you responding to thousands of viewers who have responded!!! Great job. Keep em coming. I have bought 3 Vostoc watches since viewing this video the first time. Not the 30 dollar Komandirskies. I have a K28 Komandirskie in nice heavy duty case plus 2 Amphibia's. I love them. I am also getting into Shanghai handwind watches. I like those as well. They are just a different class of watch. I agree with you the cheapest Komandirskie watches wouldn't be my cup of tea. The ones I bought though are decent tool watches that I enjoy very much. Keep up the nastiness dude. It's popular!!
Just ordered a komandirski out of curiosity, i have a automatic Vostok anfibia that i purchased for about 90/100€ and i am very impressed with it, keeps great time and feels tough. Someone even made a video testing a similar model to mine and found the accuracy to be outperforming many luxury brands. The komandirski line was even in the soviet times meant to be cheap and accessible, and as far as hand wond movements desinged in the 1960's go like no shit it has +/- 1 minute. Youre comparing a cheap 1960's design againts modern digital watches. and it wasn't used by the Red army. It was only the anfibia sub-brand that was used by Soviet frogmen and certain sectors of the navy... I also don't understand the complaining you have a about the strap, its only function is to keep the watch on your hand and unless you cant operate a buckle it does the job good enough.
Truth be said the komandirski line in its current form is an exercise in nostalgia for people who remember a time before quartz, and enjoy the noise that's made when you wind it up.
I will intrested in watching your video review.
