Today we are unboxing another WISE, that if you follow my channel KNOW is one of my favorite microbrands!! Hand assembled in Thailand, each and every one was incredibly well made with almost no foreign materials found even under macro and with impecable finish. Their quality is so high and so consistent for the price, I started reffering to them as Grand Seiko of Microbrands!
The ADX is a TRUE travelers GMT as it uses a Miyota 9075 that allows you to move the hour hand independently, so changing time zones as you travel is easy and you don't have to stop the minutes and seconds, unlike more common "caller" GMT that we usually see on microbrands that use Seiko NH34 and ETA based GMT movements, where you can move the GMT hand instead of the hour hand.
This being WISE, they also made a PROPER GMT bezel that is not only bidirectional, but also has 72 clicks, as a GMT bezel should have. Again, most microbrands out there simply slap a GMT insert on to an existing diver bezel that is usually 60 or 120 clicks and unidirectional, showing WISE IS on a another level.
It is also another model of theirs done in 904L steel, the same one used by Rolex, instead of the more common 316L, and it comes on their new bracelet that, despite having T-shaped male end links, doesn't increase the total lug to lug of the watch, thanks to a clever design.
This is definitely THE BEST WISE I've handled so far and IMHO the best GMT under $1.000 on the market!
As usual, stay tuned for the full review

Wise makes some incredibly beautiful and incredibly well built watches for the money. For *under* $1,000usd this is absolutely worth it. This in this exact rootbeer(ish) color way will be added to my collection. I can't wait to see your full review after you've worn it for some time. Thank you.
this miyota movement was such a game changer for affordable traveler gmt's. citizen doesn't get nearly the amount of credit it deserves.
I thought I'd finished buying watches, then you opened the box on this one and .... wow! .... might have to reconsider!
I am right there beside you in that same boat. Such a gorgeous watch.
Ditto!! 😂
Same for me except when I bought my first Wise it also made me want to sell most of my other ones.Can't wait for my ADX to finally ship.
Doomed……we are doomed. Tiny, little hands in a tiny, little machine. Any decent Physicist will confirm…..time is NOT a thing(y). Doomed……watch collectors are doomed. BUT, when all this hatred and fear, and violence going on….man, I think about my little collection and I’m better :-) Great hobby!
That's pretty cool that they include the right kind of Loctite (222 I believe) for the screws. WISE has become one of the more interesting micro-brands for me. If I wanted a flyer GMT I'd choose the Miyota 9075, and it would probably come down to WISE vs. Jack Mason. I'd love to have a 904L watch in my collection, and there I'd be choosing between BALL and WISE.
What a beauty. I have checked for the “new generation” GMTs offered by microbrands. This is definitely a great choice for my collection in a short run. Happy to listen from your comments after several days or weeks wearing it. Thank you for the great video.
I jumped over to the website to check the color options. I'm not yet sure which I prefer, but they are smart looking watches. Looking forward to the review.
Truly a beautiful watch. Just learned about WISE and will be checking them out a little further. Lots of quality well built beautiful watches out there that are affordable. Can’t wait to see the full video and just may have to add this to my collection.
I am considering buying this model from Wise, so I am really looking forward to your full review of this watch; hope it comes soon!
Love it. May try to sell my Seiko sharp edge GMT for this, which resembles the Oris GMT that I loved but had only a caller GMT. This one would fit my wrist better.
My Bulova Wilton has the same movement and it's been very reliable.
I bought my first automatic not too long ago. I'm fallen down the rabbit hole bad. I'm really trying to fight the itch to get into collecting. This wise watch is really nice!
Very good looking watch. Really like the whole design and the dial is interesting. It's understandable that the GMT hand is just hitting the inner ring. Well worth the price. Only things I'd add is some taper on the bracelet, and a nice engraved caseback. The Miyota isn't really worth displaying. The lume is very impressive. I do like a good lume performance. Thanks for the video ! Look forward to seeing more about this watch.
Lovely watch, I own a Wise and they are great watches..But..if your buying form the UK don’t forget to add 20% to the price…it make the value proposition a little tighter ino, ..but still a lovely watch and maybe still good value with the additional 20%
Beautiful piece but I love Adamascus watch....I bought one after watching the review you gave....thank you ❤️👍
Edit: Adamascus AD861A
Great review! I love Wise Watches. I have a few. Keep up the great work!
Like the watch. Great dial and gmt layout. Wish they’d do it without the dive/gmt bezel
What a timely video for me. I’m considering purchasing one; the sunburst gray dial with gray/ black bezel or green/black one. Now you have me considering this model too…😂 I’m a female w/6” wrist and WISE told me the fit would be fine. I’m looking forward to your macro shots! The WISE YT video wasn’t very impressive with the bezel you showed; the brown looked dull & coppery.
I think for under 1k, this watch is worth it to buy. Its a GMT,looks luxury enough and that dial is simple i really like it. Unlike some gmt watch there's so many number on the dial which make it looks messy, well that's my opinion about this😅. Thanks to this channel, i just learn about this brand today.
I wish they had the logo in place of the brand name on the face.
Wow what a great looking over all watch love the color very pleasing to the eye.
Looking forward to the full review of this watch. I’m just waiting to pull the trigger.
Only thing I would like to see Wise change is the polished centre links of the bracelet
Every aspect of Wise watches exudes quality.
Beautiful watch. How accurate is it right out of the box? If it is 15 seconds out a day it is a nice paperweight.
It is regulated and while I can't speak for this watch specifically (yet), my Wise Hitman watch came in at about +0.33 seconds a day when I first got it.
Beautiful watch and excellent finish. Unfortunately 904L scratches too easily. A deal breaker for someone who is not careful like me...
Good looking watch but Wise use NH seiko movements. One could build their own custom watch for 200 or have a custom built for a similar price.
Great video thank you. I place an order for this model. I am excited to receive it. Just have to be patient because they have informed me due to the demand it’s taking extra 20 days before shipping 😢 I just hope it arrives in time so that I can take it on holiday.
Good vid. I like this brand as well.
Good camera?
I'm pretty much in agreement with you, but ultimately have to say that I far prefer the design of the AD8. Nkt that this is badly done. Not at all. I prefer it to the Rolex, but the additional time zone with a pretty promounced bezel makes it all quite busy for my taste. I woudl tend to agree, though, that probably the AD8 would be even better with just a couple of brushed accents. That would really finish it off 8n accordance with its genre, as they did on the bronzes. Except for that, arguably the only thing I prefer on this ADX is the hour hand. I'm perfectly fine with AD8's hour hand, but knowing it could have been shaped like this, I think that would be even better. I also very much like the crown guards here, but they wouldn't be right on the AD8. I guess, for me, I wouldn't decide to swap watches just to have differentiating finish from a brand, but then you seem quite enthusiastic about all the ADX represents.
Continually impressed by this micro brand.
Good looking watch
Great Video
There is no taper on the bracelet? It would be nicer
How is the precision of the movement per day?
This example is under a second a day late, which means I can keep it pretty much spot on by taking it off at night and laying it on its back (as that speeds it up to regain that fraction of a second lost)
@@WatchGeek awesome thanks for the information
the proportion seems off. lug to lug seems a bit long
Wanted a Wise, but they use wayyy too much polish on their watches for some odd reason. Glad this one is different, though I hate the polish on the bracelet.
There's a limited edition version with a green dial that comes on a curved ends rubber strap instead.
I like it 👍
This is a nice watch...hmmm, i need to check my bank account...good review!
Nice 👍👍👍
Wow this is a very nice sharp looking watch. Beautiful. Would have been killer on a better bracelet - jubilee styled or beads of rice or something of that sort, and tapering
Amei todas as bolsas lindas e de muito bom gosto.Parabens #mamacoo 😘😘
If you buy this watch in Thailand the price only 18,000 baht or 500$
Too bad flying there in person negates this discount 😞
lol.. i thought that said, $1 it needed a , rather than a .
Not sure why you would waste your money on a Seiko when you can get this.
Great watch for the price. Seiko doesn't do anything as good for the price.
Looks the biz
Super
The bracelet needs to taper off 💁
It feels perfect to me. Love my Wise GMT.
❤very nice
i love you so much! I recently just found your mamacoo and i’m in love!! Your videos are so fun and you energy is just MWAH! keep living your life
When it comes to fine imitation watches, amzwatch delivers. I've bought from them several times, and I've never been let down.
They havent tried very hard to make it not like a GMT II nave they? My biggext question would be, who's idea was it to have a Black and Brown bezel? Does this model also have a nickname like Dark & Milk?
The color scheme is known as the root beer. I agree the case and the bezel say Rolex but the dial resembles the Oris Aquis. Taste is opinion of course but I really like this love child of the two watches.
Nice looking watch but just too small for my wrist, needs to be a minimum of 43mm but preferably 45mm
$10/click
😄😄👍
It would be perfect without this "gold" color.
There's five different colorways, the one in the video is the only one with the gold handset and indices. All the other ones are silver.
I’m obviously colorblind I’m not seeing any gold….
Nice watch but it looks like ORIS
There are a ton of 9075 based GMTs. Wise is not ahead or special here.
Check out my other full reviews of their models, trust me, they ARE special. When you put them under a macro lens, you understand. Also, check out some Christopher ward under macro in my reviews and compare the two 😁
It looks like fake Oris )
Looks like something a pimp would buy. No class, just bling and dazzle.
I bet you would go blind if you saw an Invicta Gladiator watch
...only "one" year warranty... no thanks
Under £1 😂😂 that's cheap
Disfigured proportions, lug-to-lug distance too long, lugs themselves too basic, finish way to shiny and the dial looks like something from Daniel Wellington. An unattractive watch. Buy a Seiko, Certina, Tissot or Longines. Used, if necessary.
Not buying a Thai watch for 1000$. Not happening
It's 720$ tho
Looks terrible.
What a bad name for a watch brand. Bracelet and clasp way too large.
#amzwatch Bolsa réplica 1:1 con imagen reflejada, resistente y resistente al desgaste. Me gusta mucho.
you’re literally my comfort person i love you #mamacoo !
