Welcome to Chao Time!
This is a channel for watch nerds, enthusiasts, and those getting into the hobby. I wanted to start this channel because when I was getting into the hobby, I would watch TH-camrs review watches and mentally compare watches I was interested in. Whenever there was a comparison video of two watches I liked, I would watch it over and over again, poring over the details. When I read forum posts or social media posts, I see questions like, Left or Right? Should I get this or that? These were the types of questions I saw and honestly, had myself. And like many watch enthusiasts, I just didn’t have the money to buy the watches and try them out for myself. I wished there was a resource for making quick and easy comparisons between watches I was interested in.
So, one of the missions of this channel is to help straighten it all out. And I’m going to do it rigorously and as mathematically as I know how.
I hope you enjoy the channel!

Watch Review Omega Speedmaster 1957 - The Broad Arrow
Hi y’all
My name is Mr. Chao and welcome to Chao Time. I’m back with the last watch in my four part chronograph series. This is going up against the Sugess Chronograph Mechanical, Bulova Lunar Pilot, Seiko SDGZ019. Of course, this is the most expensive, so it would make sense that it ranks highest, but how will it rank in terms of value? Let’s find out.
The reviews start with my as objective as possible scoring against a rubric to get a total score. I then take the score and apply a value multiplier to get a value score. Then, I rank the two scores against all the other watches I have reviewed up to that point. After the review, I give a completely subjective opinion which takes into consideration everything that goes into buying a watch.
Before we can begin scoring the watch against the rubric, we first need to understand the purpose of the watch and what design language inspires it. Well, it’s a chronograph with design cues from a very popular and historic timepiece, the Speedmaster Professional. However, it has a bit of a dressy flair.
So, let’s get to it.
