Thank you, I have to say its impressed me. I don't own a huge amount of watches but mulled over this for a while. I dont think you'll be disappointed if you get it. 👍
Lovely watch, in your video you moved the fingers backwards and forwards I'm sure you are not supposed to move the fingers backwards on an automatic watch could be wrong though
Thank you, I tend to set watches going forward. But general consensus is its fine to wind back. Below is a good link www.reddit.com/r/Watches/comments/kqit2/i_have_an_automatic_watch_can_i_turn_the_hands/
Wanted to get an everyday watch that I don’t mind banging, scratching, and getting wet. I got the same model with the orange 15min marker and I was surprised to find myself wearing it 24/7. It doesn’t have much to brag off but something I just can’t explain keeps attracting me. Weird but in a very satisfying way...
Thanks for the comment, like yourself I find it staying on my wrist most days. I think for the money it's a really solid and nice watch. Glad you liked the one you bought. 👍
Bought in UK from their main page. Took about 2 weeks to arrive and had to pay around £75 customs import as well. I very nearly chose the turquoise face, I just liked the black bezel and deep blue of this one a tad more. I'd say go for it, you won't regret it 😁
I have to say it's one of my go to watches. I can't fault how it looks and feels on. I think the Swiss automatic movement is a little misleading as its a Chinese movement shipped over and tweaked just enough to qualify. But mine has been faultless since I bought it. And turns just as many heads as my tissot. If that helps?
If your in the states they ship from there but are mail order only I think. Sure you'll be able to get a discount. Once you log onto their site they will send you lots of emails and discount promos. Good luck
Afraid I don't own an invicta so can't offer advice. I would say I have no hesitation in recommending the stuhrling. As long as you know what your buying. It turns heads to people that see it and has proven sturdy and reliable.
8:32 I don't own a single watch that will have the date between numbers (4 and 5 in this case) while the hands are reading 2:55 If the hands were closer to 12:00 maybe? Looks like a defect to me.
@@martynwilliams4767 Look at the 8:32 timestamp in the video. The date is between the 4 and 5 (no actual date shown in the window) and the time is almost 3pm. I know this is an older video but I was just looking to purchase a similar model.
Hi, I haven't formally measured it, but by the end of the week I would say its lost under 4 mins and needs a quick adjustment. I'd probably guess around 30s a day?
@@martynwilliams4767 That's about what I'm seeing. Between 17 and 25 seconds fast per day for me. Stuhruling told me these watches have an outer range accuracy approximately 39 seconds per day. Seems like a ridiculous amount to me so I'm definitely going to try and get it adjusted.
@@DantheGibsonFan let me know how you get on with that. I can probably live with the time loss, but if it doesn't cost much to adjust then I might consider it. 👍
Still going strong, 1 small scratch on the glass that I want to get polished out. Went to look at getting it serviced but the price was around £250 which considering its value wasn't worth it.
30 bucks in myota quartz ...you can't get better for less ,the automatic has too high a price, the competition is too fierce and many have sapphire crystals on all models .but the dial and polish are the big seller here ..
Thank you, have to say it's one that even now catches my eye. I'd strongly recommend looking at this and the aqua marine one they do. Great colour faces and good sturdy watch.
I believe from research its 28,800 but that isn't 100% Below is a link I believe relates to the movement. www.watchuseek.com/threads/how-do-seagull-and-hangzhou-compare-to-a-eta-an-in-depth-look.216945/

It's not an eta movement. From. Research its a Chinese sourced movement but enough of it is assembled/constructed/calibrated in Switzerland for it to be deemed Swiss. This is a bit of a work around to get that title, but does also mean it has to meet the requirements for that title. If that makes sense? I can't remember the exact Chinese brand used but if you Google deep enough you can find it. I would add stuhrling aren't the only brand to do this.

I would say the intensity is fairly average. It doesn't last as others that I own. It is fairly easy to read, I'm not a diver so can't comment on how well it would perform in that capacity, I'd imagine not the best in its class.
I returned my Stuhrling watch the same day I received it as this poorly made and horribly designed watch would NOT allow the crown to be screwed in properly so it will protect the mechanism from water. The reason for this horrible mistake is that the two prongs that are located on each side of the crown (for supposedly to protect the crown) were improperly made too tight (too close together) to allow the correct space for the crown to be screwed in properly to make it a decently tight and secure connection to the case. After screwing in the crown as far in as it would possibly go without over-tightening it so not to damage the threads there was an annoying gap between the crown and the case because the 2 prongs were blocking the crown to being screwed any tighter which made me feel very uncomfortable and very nervous. How careless can Stuhrling really be? Unbelievable huge mistake and manufacturing booboo. I will never buy a Stuhrling watch in my lifetime.
Really sorry to hear!! Are you sure it wasn't just a one off issue? It shouldn't happen and get through a quality control process. I have never tested out their customer service side of things but that would be a good test of them I guess.
As mentioned in the review when you do the digging the movement is a Chinese one. Granted they try and obscure it with the Swiss made but they aren't the only company to utilise external parts and do the bare minimum to meet the "Swiss made" definition. The reviews on the seagull movement (used in this watch) are out for people to read and most are pretty good. Definitely more good than bad, and having worn it non stop for a number of months I can say it keeps time well and is less noisy than other watches. It's definitely worth more than 15 notes, but I wouldn't say the value they claim it to be.
Celo thanks for question, I had to pay in US dollars as the company are based in the states. I want to say around $400 give or take and then had to pay import tax. My estimate of £500 is probably over slightly

It doesn't meet the ISO standard as I state in the video although has the features required of a diver. Dare I say brands like rolex aren't ISO tested (though I imagine they have a more stringent testing procedure). The movement can be called Swiss made as they skirt the legislation by having the bare minimum assembly and testing done in Switzerland. But you right the actual movement in a Chinese seagull one.

The bezel insert looks a bit off. Doesn't line up between the 12 and 6. Quite disappointing at that price point don't don't think?
