- I finally get to handle this watch in the steel (or titanium in this case) and share my honest opinion and thoughts about it

Thanks for watching - Навчання та стиль
I loved reviewing this watch! Not an every day piece, in fact, probably a very occasional wear. One thing you can't deny is the genius and enginuity behind it!
Certainly very different that’s for sure
I love it! As a celestial navigation. Student, I love it (for the representation, the timepiece itself is u suited for CelNav ise).
That is a beautiful work of art, and I love how the time is displayed. the detail is crisp.
Your opening music is music to my ears, literally and figuratively
I saw many reviews about this watch, no one referring to another tweak: not matter difficulty at reading the hour, small fonts and so, you cannot read them night time due to lack of iridescence over the marks. Additionally, some iridescence over the map would be welcome as well. 😊
These really are unique pieces aren't they? More art than a watch really... I enjoyed checking it out a while back.
Good morning from the Bay Area, California! Love the reviews, keep’em coming.
Cheers
Thanks for the honest review, hopefully we’ll get a preview of the upcoming gilded version
It is cool it's like looking at Earth from space, and the tracks around the globe are the stars, there's a calmness about it.
The blue on that is gorgeous, I just want a watch with that blue on the dial!!!🤣
Telling the time on that would also drive me mad though!!👍
Very unique looking watch. More of a statement piece than a time piece. That being said, a beautiful and ingenious design. Nice honest review.
Cheers, thanks for watching
Thanks for the review Frank - I may pass on this watch given that Im in my 50s. But your honest review is a delight to watch and listen. Much appreciated.
Frank?..no problems Joe 😊😂
I would prefer this design in a wall clock for the legibility reasons
Thanks for the detailed review. This one really appealed to me. I like Ti cases. The time indication is clever. Unique? But what really caught my attention was the face. That globe is impactful. I wish it was displaying North & South America. I agree with you the hour numbers should definitely be larger. If they are in the same color blue as the globe so much the better. Also agree with you on that crown “ghost position.”
What is a Ghost Position?
AWESOME WATCH,,, OUT OF THE BOX IDEA,,,, WELL PRESENTED REVIEW
Fantastic! Good on Chinese. Extremely creative and they're just getting started
This is Definitely one I will be thinking about..
Applaud effort n drsign, very tempting, waiting for one to show dsy n night, but wishlist n $$$
Very cool actually!
Though I wouldn't buy one personally. Though it gives me the idea, could be really fun to take an inexpensive watch and add an earth design on the dial... 😮
So many world time watches seem to delete Australia from the globe. Good to see it has not forgotten Australia. If somehow they could use the globe as a world timer that would be amazing.
It deleted the usa because of the trade war which is funny
NZ always hidden 😭
Fun and interesting novelty for those with a few extra dollars and an empty spot in the watch box. This one would be a hit at the local Planetarium.
👍
Funky design. I agree that those hour markers need to be more prominent.
I like the case. It's like an Ikepod with the Earth inside it, albeit much more difficult to read.
I really like it. :) 🌍
Pretty cool....😎
Great videography for this Blue Planet, interesting watch on my list for its engineering & design attributes…
Thanks Peter👍🏻
Many thanks!
When I first saw this Peter some months ago I thought it was just ugly! But I’ve grown to love it’s obvious out there design. For mine, if the embossed pointer/compass logo was say in gold, it would draw your short sighted eyes to it!🤪I wear glasses so not so much of an issue. The biggest mistake made was leaving Tassie on the map of Australia!🤣😂👍🏼
😂
Nothing wrong with Tassie bro
@@PeterKotsa As a dedicated motorcycle rider most of my life, Tassie has the best riding roads in Oz! Plus it’s just beautiful.🤤😍👍🏻
I tell you Peter........i like it! I don't know why.... it's different. But i need reading glasses.....so what do i see without?
I have had one of these in the titanium variant for a few months now, one does not wear it specifically for the purpose of telling the time. It is to appreciate its innovation and unique design. I wish they provided different dials with other parts of The World. I live in North America and there is no reference of that on the dial. The tweaks mentioned by PK are relevant and there could be a couple more but nevertheless, it is NOT a watch for everyday use but occasionally especially as a conversational piece to draw people into what we watch collectors appreciate.
Nicely summed up Raymond
@@PeterKotsa PK continue to do what you do as your reviews are great!
@@mondrayuk I really appreciate the feedback
Hey Raymond,
andere Teile der Weltkarte scheinen mir keinen Sinn zu ergeben.
Unser Planet,vom Nordpol aus betrachtet,dreht sich gegen den Uhrzeigersinn.
Eine Darstellung der klassischen Zeigerbewegung,gibt vor,dass man vom Südpol auf unseren Planeten schauen muss...denn vom Südpol aus betrachtet, dreht sich der Planet im Uhrzeigersinn.
Hearty greetings from Germany

@@ernestoguevara2110 I did a Google Translation from German to English and I agree with you, thanks
This is not an everyday watch, is good for special occasions that can serve a reason for small talk when you need to break the ice lol
the design reminds me of Seiko WN-1 think the earth watch.
It's a watch and the biggest complaint is not being able to tell time 😂 still, I want it
😂
Lovely review. Good voice to listen too. Thewatch is in order. I will let you know if you need an eye doctor 😂😂 or that its truly bit unclear
Hahaha
Who modified the movement?
I need to get this one ☝️. Thank for the post
No problem 👍
Thanks for your video. Just bought the Titanium version on April 14 2023 during the Flash Sale for $959.20 and still waiting for it to arrive. They made the Gold version too. Please lets address the elephant in the room! You will never have to worry about multiple glances to see what time it is. The "Compass" is the elephant in the room. You just look at it and immediately tells you the exact Hour and the approx. minute.
So hows your new watch? I really like this thinking about buying one myself. is it hard to read the time. Now be honest 😂
I don't often complain about the price but here I have to. This gives me a huge sticker shock. The fact that this is a high beat movement based on the ETA architecture is completely useless here. It's just outrageously expensive for a novelty watch being virtually useless.
Yes a nice watch but why should i buy a watch that shows the Indian Ocean?
Is it worth 999$ ?
In the very first seconds, truth slips through your tongue, this (flying saucer) landed there...
[ CIGA, σιγα τα ωα!!! 😂😂😂 ]
Thanks mate, i'll pass for many reasons, may we go that my vision is not 20/20? 🧐😋 Be well, cheers.
PS You may not have to send it back, did you try throw this as a pebble onto the sea/lake/river??? 😎😎😜
Ε ρε Stavros, relax, ηρέμησε λίγο. Peter απάντησέ του χωρίς ευγένειες!!!

Δεν μπορείς να κόψεις ξύλα δίχως πελεκουδια, Στάλιν. Μην πεις ότι το ξέχασες! Μας προσκάλεσε ο Peter για κατασκήνωση στην Αφστραλια (είδες τι παθαίνεις αν δεν ξέρεις από διφθογγους;). Το σχέδιο περιέχει κυνήγι κροκοδείλων, καγκουρό -τι διάολο καγκουρες ειμαστε- τραβερσο ανάποδο στον Yarra Yarra, πιάσιμο kookaburra (γουστάρω το γέλιο τους, μου θυμίζει ύαινες) και φυσικά διαμονή στην ενδοχώρα, μακριά από το ανθρώπινο κοπάδι. Σφοδρή επιθυμία μου η κολύμβηση σε "ανάποδο ρεύμα" για ένα τεσταρισμα των αντοχών μου. Μην ξεχνάτε τα καύσιμα (ρακί, τσίπουρο). Θα ταξιδέψουμε με την PAN-AGROTICA. Καλή αντάμωση στα γουναραδικα!
@@leonidaskaragiannis7875 !!!!! Νταξ', το τελος ηταν ολα τα λεφτα! Χαχαχαχαχα
Μην ψαρωνεις ομως, ετσι κ κανουμε να παμε Αστραλια (χωρις Φου!), τωρα που χειμωνιαζει εκει, ο Πετραν θα μας αφησει μεχρι και το σπιτι του κ θα την κανει με ελαφρα για δωθε... (κι εγω στη θεση του, μαλλον το ιδιο θα΄κανα! χαχα).
Κυνηγι χοχλιου δε θα'χει??? Ειναι ζορικο να κυνηγας χοχλιους, τρεχουν οι ατιμοι, αλλα αξιζει το κοπο! Πολυ κρεας αδερφε μου!
Long hellos and short goodbyes λενε καποιοι, αντε να κανουμε καμια παρεα... καπου, καποτε, καπως...
Γουναραδικα εχουν μεινει πουθενα? Λες???? χαχαχαχαχαχαχα
👍🇺🇦👌
Cool piece, but 2.0 version needs better minute markers ⏰️
To me it doesnt seem hard to read. Which ever outside numbers the compass is between, then the smaller of those two, is the hour. Then which ever number the compass is pointing to is the minutes. So at a quick glance you're off by maybe a min.
Imagine this in a milanese bracelet.
the hour scale should not have any markings except for the hours, adding all this submarkers makes telling hour difficult, looks like an Ikepod..
Isn’t it similar to single hand watch
in a way, yes
Not for me but thanks for sharing
I didn’t think so 😊
Cheers Leon
does it tell time?!
Not yet Tommy, but make bello cafe. Ok Tom Sawyer? or Thomas or Tommy...
Who likes to see the indian ocean in the middle?
Nice watch, but a " general " idea of the time is not reason enough to buy a $1500.00 watch.
It desperately needs a 3-4mm smaller case and double sized hour & minute fonts in white. And the price is not right…
Not for me Peter, style over function, if you were running to catch a train by the time you've worked out the time the train will have gone...stay safe
Thanks for sharing John, you too mate, stay safe
For decades we make fun of the Chinese for making world class replicas. It's only a matter of time where they take those skills and create masterpiece matching up to FPJ, RM, PP, AP MB&F.
These moonphase watches lak dates etc....poor
Kind of a circus piece...
This watch doesn’t do it for me - a watch us to tell the time and it’s very difficult to read the time with most if the watch face taken up with some map design that is functionally pointless
If you can't read the time with this watch you may have been dropped at birth
Talk about gimmicky
Not unique at all. Its a copy of the think earth watch
Overhyped, overpriced, novelty jewelry.
Didnt like it when I first saw it, like it less now.
the more ugly and inutile map on the world even free i don t want this thing....never....beurkkkkk
It's too silly for me.
Wrong bro, you are silly
Not sure how a watch can win an award for a watch design when it's so difficult to read the time on said watch. That, is a fail. Chinese garbage. Sorry. Only being honest. That watch screams junk.
