    Again, I am willing to pay more for some better specs and finishing, but there are a lot of people who cannot or will not pay more. Thanks as always for the great review. Looking forward to your content on the upcoming sale. I think it’s going to be pretty insane. Thanks!

    Excellent review. I do have a blue Seiko 5, 42mm and it's just about right though heading for small on my 8.1" wrist. This would be too small for me but is definitely a good size for most people. Your question is valid, why don't Seiko make a 40mm?! Maybe the short lug to lug makes most people, even those with slimmer wrists happy enough. Maybe it's better they didn't, people can take advantage of the Cadisen at a great price. The play in the bezel is tiny, not an issue. The dial is very well done. "Automatic" is copying the Seiko font very closely.The hands are a little rougher on the edges than my Seiko but who looks that closely ! I am happy to report mine does line up by the way but I bought it at an AD so was able to check it personally before handing over the money. The lume though, it might be ok , but with the markers disappearing you'll never get that on a Seiko. However for $100 with sapphire it's great value.

    I have the Batman version. It's dinky, but makes a nice change from the chunky SKX. Now I just wish someone would make a slightly oversized SKX homage. Sometimes I like wearing a big chunky watch tbh.

    Thorough and informative review as always. Thank you for it. While this watch is solid from a spec standpoint, I have no idea why one would opt for this over the Seiko 5 Sports watch that it copies. The Seiko is perfectly affordable.

    • @EscapeWheel
      @EscapeWheel  9 місяців тому +3

      Still at LEAST double the price. Plus you get sapphire, and I do think the size is a big selling point. No doubt the 5KX is a decent value, though...it's just big enough that I don't enjoy it after a couple days on wrist. This one is much more manageable

    • @keving4408
      @keving4408 9 місяців тому

      @@EscapeWheel Fair points, though the 5KX now comes in 38mm (I believe). And the Seiko might be more expensive, but would also be much easier to sell should you wish to do so at some point.

    I bought that same color last year on 11.11 for 40 USD, and as soon as it arrived I sold it to a friend who fell in love with it. Such a great size and color, but the crown was a bit odd to operate. Great review

    The chapter ring misalignment maybe is intentional. 😂 After all, it makes the homage more authentic.

      @@EscapeWheel I just read a comment about a guy having 6.5inch and could not adjust it properly. I also have another Cadisen which is even smaller in size, and happened the same. I guess it's something they should change ASAP, since I don't like wearing watches on straps. About the review GREAT as usual. And please you deserve more views / likes. I love this video formats they are really usefull, I think you should keep this format but also add "Top 5" or "top 10" videos since you have reviewd so many watches. Something like "Top 5 best divers", Top 5 smallest ali watches, etc and pack them in smaller videos and a link to the review. Please consider and thanks again

      This slots right between at 40mm. 38 is too small for me, 42 felt too big. It's just personal preference though.

    Great review 👍. They got the perfect dimensions and made a really good watch for the money, but the issues add up. The bezel action and no lume pip, the misaligned chapter ring, annoying Rolex style case back, unnecessary cyclops and worst the awkward crown.....
