    No one manages to make fun of rotor noise like you do mate! 😆 I absolutely agree with your verdict, the watch does OK for itself. Hardening coating is a stand out feature for this price. If it were a little but smaller, thinner and if it didn't have that day date complication, we'd definitely start talking!

      🥁You know it, bud 🤣it’s pretty insane for the price. 40mm… And no date?! 👌🏻Yes. Maybe they’ll consider it in future or something, but this will do until then!

    Great watch! The entire build feels way above this price point. I had a green dial in on my channel, but I really like this gray version you have. I thought this strap was really comfortable and fit the overall vibe. Good stuff!

    • @LumePip
      @LumePip  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Absolutely! I often think the more solid feeling watches at this sort of price, crucially, don’t come on a bracelet. 🤙🏻 Otherwise, it can be a bit of a different experience, shall we say, not to mention the fact they’ve spent a whole chunk of the budget on the bracelet and the rest has suffered… 😅

    I have this watch, it's absolutely lovely, a real bargain.
    I agree about the day/date not being needed, but I can happily live with it.
    Enjoyed the review, thanks

    I've got the more colorful version, the am-339m. The 2 o'clock crown is screwdown on the 339, and that was the deciding factor for me, and I got it for 107 off their website directly. Its got the 8215, no day complication, just date. The date is matched colorwise to the dial, so instead of a white background with black text, it's a black background with white text (I have the black dial). The lume is incredible... The indicies and the majority on the bezel are visible in dark after several hours... Unfortunately the orange on the second, minute hands and the 15 minute bezel markings is done for well before that, and my hour hand wasn't visible either.. so I could see the markings, but not the hands (not exactly useful at that point, even if it is pretty lol).
    8215 vs. the 8205 movement, with all it's warts. Standard miyota second hand stutter. Otherwise same specs. IF I'm being really picky, the 2 o'clock stem isn't as flush as the 4 o'clock stem when screwed down, but you can only tell if you're looking at the back of the watch.
    I agree, it wears thicker than it's specs. I feel the band is a bit excessive in length, BUT, I'm wearing it next to skin.. if I was in a wet suit, I might need that extra length, so it's nice to see they took that into consideration. I think this is going to be goto watch for daily wear, and I do like the quality of their builds. This is my second Berny, with the other being a full face lumed railway on a leather strap.

      Hi there! Thank you so much for saying so. Honestly, comments like these are really amazing to receive. It's so nice to know something I've done has connected with someone, so thank you for watching. Here's hoping I can keep going and keep making more 💪

    I have two Bernys. My favorite watches. A compressor and a Ti/Sapphire dress watch. Great. The rubber strap is useless though because the loops are too big. I got mine caught in my coat sleeve, the watch fell off and hit the ground. Dented the case. Got a decent nylong strap and all is good.

  • @WATCH-4U

    ive the older compresssor version that says FIRST TIME on the dial n the day date is not brilliant at all but the watch is very good indeed sapphire etc ...now for me no day date would be awesome .... great review

    Agree with the opinions on deleting the date window and adding more text above 6. I also think they should shrink "berny" down a bit...it is disproportionately too big. Great review!

    • @LumePip
      @LumePip  ปีที่แล้ว

      Great point, too - I think on some of their other models, with the new kind of shield-looking logo, it does make it look a bit more balanced. But for this text-only dial, it needs shrinking!

    Maybe is Berny or other manufacturers reading commends.

    At least it won't be another Rlx Master copy.

    The description says 8205. Would it not be the 8215, with the day and date? I find my Miyotas much more accurate than the NH34.

    • @LumePip
      @LumePip  ปีที่แล้ว

      There is an 8205 with day-date, it seems!

    Berny recently released their logo which looks nice. perhaps it would be good to wait if they updated this watch with their logo.

    • @LumePip
      @LumePip  ปีที่แล้ว

      I’m not sure it’s that big an improvement, but admittedly with other brands, I’m a real stickler. There will be some who definitely don’t get much from the current one but for me it’s the actual name itself! 😅 Not that it’s a real dealbreaker given the price

    I've got this watch and it's great, however with 7 1/2" wrists the strap only just fits me - I'm literally on the 2nd last hole which isn't ideal.

  • @johnjones928
    @johnjones928 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I'm not bothered by the day/date but i'd pay more for a Seiko NH36 movement. I'm waiting a bit before buying one because Berny usually updates their pieces after a while. The name is what it is, anybody want to guess what Rolex stands for? That's right, not a damned thing, it was contrived simply to sound exclusive.

    • @LumePip
      @LumePip  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Fair enough, yeah - I must admit, I'd like to see a no-date or smaller date integration, but I'm OK with it being a Miyota. Someone else mentioned a GMT version with the NH34, which would be very tasty indeed. And isn't Rolex just meant to be pronouncable to anyone regardless of their native language? That's the story I heard, anyways.

      @johnjones928 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@LumePip I have Berny's first compressor with the Miyota and it's only off about a second at day so yeah, at the current price point i have no problems with it But i'd still pay (a bit) more for the Seiko.

      There’s links in the description, mate - if you get it from the Berny site directly, I have a trackable discount code: LUMEPIP
      As far as I’m aware, they track that (and I can too) and know from where you’ve found it 🙌🏻🙌🏻

      First video of yours I have watched. Love your style. Subscribed. This watch is a beauty. I am going to wait for version 3 and hope the day date is simply a date. Also hoping for the NH35. Would be better with just the logo as well. Will eventually pick one up if one or two of those things happens. Hopefully Berny is listening!
