@BlaBla-jj6sh my 6 dachshunds are all Treat Enthusiasts and Lap Enthusiasts, not Watch Enthusiasts. I'm preaching to the wrong crowd with short stubby wrist. They are the chewable "Smart Watch" crowd like these tech kids these days. 😞
The logo of Christopher Ward watches is actually 2 symbols, the first one is the cross of Switzerland and the other one with the 4 squares and cross in the middle is the flag of UK
I have a Speedmaster Pro (sapphire sandwich and I love it) and I got a good laugh from this video! I have to agree with everything you said. But what watches do you recommend?
Seriously honored a Speedmaster Pro owner found and actually enjoyed this! Thank you so much. My opinion is, people should get any watch they want and can afford; they should get whatever suits them no matter what others think and that perfect watch is different for everyone. But in a vacuum, I like these from Omega: vintage pie pan Omega Constellation Omega Seamaster Diver 300M 2552.80 Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra with the blue deck dial For non-Omega, I admire many different watches including the Vacheron Constantin 1921, Casio F-91W, and most of all the Seiko Sarb035.
Hmm, I have a Speedmaster and a Hamilton Khaki field watch. I wonder what that says about my taste... btw, I think the Speedmaster is one of the best looking watches ever (I just wish it were about 2mm smaller in diameter) along with the Tank and 38mm and under Calatravas...
Jane, love your unvarnished take on things horological. No sacred cow is safe from your verbal stilettos plunged straight to the heart! Thanks for not being a fawning diplomat like so many watch reviewers. It's all right to have unpopular or even controversial takes. Nobody should be so precious as to imagine that their watch choices are exempt from criticism ...or roasting.😂👍
I went to buy speedmaster racing because of the look, color and racing heritage. But I end up with speedmaster because it super light at 80g and thiner 13.5mm. Very comfortable to wear.
I share your views about the Christopher Ward logo. It appears unbalanced, unsettling, and uncomfortable to look at, even after understanding its design concept.
Hard agree on the IWC and Grand Seiko! They know they don't have to pick a logo from MS Word fonts right? And yes, on the portuguese it's just criminal, it's a huge watch with a busy dial the last thing it needs is giant letters that serve no purpose. Christopher Wards makes me think of those electronic brick games.
Guys like ugly things and our color palettes are questionable because we have a high chance of being colorblind; with the majority not discovering it until their have retired.
I was going to hate and troll, BUT you make a lot of valid points. And from scientific known facts on what is considered beautiful. Symmetry, flow, colour science. Specially about the Speedmaster. All the speedmasters owners will cry and want to get you thrown in jail for slandering their watch. You are going to make a good wife and good mommy. Because you are smart, firm, but fair.
@@SalPerez-io3mz You are an incredible writer. That was such a fun note by you! Thank you for telling me exactly what you think. Whether you have hate and troll or compliments, I will always want to hear. Cheers!
Thanks for the laughs, us watch geeks need some LOLs from time to time, constantly hearing lug to lug and sapphire crystal this and that gets tedious. Not to mention NATO strap, god I hate that.
You are right about CW. Before they changed, their logo it was worse. Especially when it was had the full Christopher Ward name on it 😂 Also you missed Oris, sounds like a toothpaste or mouth wash brand 😅
My wife says the same thing about just getting a Hamilton field watch instead of all the other watches lol 😂 100% true about the logo fonts!! Never noticed but now it’s so obvious what they look like 😭
@@janegoldberg The sunk in sub registers, the step dial, the Tachymetre bezel and case thickness all make this watch stunning. Combine that with the new retro bracelet and the romantic history of this watch, make it a truly amazing time piece.
You do know the Chinese invented Fraktur at the same time they invented spaghetti. Look it up! By the way if I asked you if you were from the "Orient", would that be offensive?
Since you were so nice to ask for my critique on another (supposedly better) video, here you go: 1. Lower the music or get rid of it as a whole. There is no debating that the general demographic and audience of wristwatch reviews and content is for older men, men who are straight forward and would rather recieve helpful information and content from a shorter video instead of witnessing another goober try to elongate a youtube video by stick in transitions, music, and other party tricks just to increase production value. We like people who get to the point in a quick and informative matter, so editing isn't crucial at all; there are hundreds of watch videos that are just raw iPhone footage, and they've all done great due to sufficient content. 2. Your reason for shitting on a speedmaster makes 0 sense at all. Props to mentioning horology and it being famous for being on the moon, but watch guys do not care about color palettes at all. You're quite literally buying a piece of watchmaking history from Omega, and trying to say it puts a bad look on it's wearer because it doesn't go well with skin tones seems like the stupidest way you could have went about making this watch look inferior to others. It's also a chronograph, and one of the more affordable swiss chronographs, relatively speaking, allowing you to activate pushers on the side of the case that allow you to time events just like a stopwatch on an iphone. If you even manage to convince one person that because of this color palette shit that black and silver watches don't have a place in society, does that mean all black or white colored clothing should also be abolished? 3. Grand Seiko and Orient have both been listed as shitty watch brands to your standards because of the logo. You're absolutely right! Don't buy LV, Balenciaga, or whatever you folks purchase nowadays, completely forget about the product and quality they're bringing to the table relative to their pricepoint, and solely gauge how great of a watch brand they are by taking one look at their logo design as if THAT should be the ONLY deciding factor between good and bad. Hope that explains why 14% of people have disliked.
Wait what? I'm not the only one who thinks the Speedmaster is ugly and boring? There are more of us. Oh God, that's such a relief. I thought there was something wrong with me. 🧐
@@the_n0mad I think deep down maybe I like the vintage Omega Constellation and vintage womens watches; it's hard for me to accept the aesthetic of the modern Omegas. But the modern Aqua Terra with the blue deck dial seems very cool.
Baffling. Criticising watches with decades or centuries old brand fonts and logos. For example, saying IWC, which started in 1868, copied the font of a fashion watch started in this century? These Swiss maisons have huge brand equity within those fonts and logos. Are you trolling?
Is this a watch roundup or a company logo review? Please dont post watch content, it doesnt seem like you know anything about it, and stick to fashion. Still cant tell if this is just a troll vid or not lol
Dear Jane, I think we can all agree that you have demonstrated a rather poor taste in watches. Your choice of blouse color is a tragedy. And what's with these sunglasses? That's something I would see in old cartoons. :))))
@@janegoldberg I know, I was just trying to match the tone of your vid. Watch opinions aside, you do stir a reaction with it, so you must be doing something right. gj

Abstracted! That's good to know, thanks. :)
Hey. I'm half British, half Swiss. Still looks shit.
i absolutely love the winged hourglass of longines
Same!
my close friend says the same thing. totally fair take by you!
@@janegoldberg You asked why the wings on the Longiness... it's because of their aviation heritage.
Another take on the winged logo could also be a nod to the Latin phrase Tempus Fugit (Time flies), which is often symbolized by a winged hourglass.
The medieval gripe with Grand Seiko's font only makes me want to buy one more 😂
It’s hard to resist the spring drive
I like your dry dark watch humor! You say what others are thinking but since they dropped thousands on a watch the shame keeps them silent. 🙄
the shame!
Love it. Jane is funny, a natural comedian. I still love my Speedmaster though. Keep up the hustle
No idea why I haven't discoverd this channel earlier. Super fun!
Thank you for your support!

The fact that you accurately called the Speedmaster ugly has got every Boomer clenching an Arthur fist right now 😂

Now that was a breath of fresh funny air!! Loved it. Will watch some more now…
Seriously honored!
The Speedmaster Racing is my favorite. Absolutely beautiful.
Agree 100%. That one is gorgeous.
Grand Seiko should make a limited edition snowflake out of chain mail. Now that I think about it, so should Goldman Sachs.
Haha then they should duel for the use of GS

Good luck with your channel.

I went to buy speedmaster racing because of the look, color and racing heritage. But I end up with speedmaster because it super light at 80g and thiner 13.5mm. Very comfortable to wear.
That’s an interesting comparison. Do you regret not getting the speedmaster racing or are you happy with your choice?
@@janegoldberg The only regret is that I bought just 2-3 months before they expand warranty from 1 to 5 years.
The Zenith Revival El Primero is one of my many dream watches ❤
I’ve played with that one at the store. Wishing you a happy purchase in the near future!
This was a great segment & very funny. Just subbed (still love wearing my checkered vans though lol).
Thank you Luciano! I still need to try those Vans; there must be a reason why they're popular!
Luv it. Go big or go home! 99% of sport watches have black dial with white indices. Great video. Thank you.
Interesting point. And thank YOU! :)
Hahhaha i find these funny u taking the piss out of their logos
