Nice. A little trivia, in the 1980s anyone in the US Military who handled demolitions were not allowed to wear a digital watch. They might emit enough RF, radio frequency emission to set off an electric blasting cap. I just think it's hype anytime anyone says a watch was worn by SEALS or Special Forces. They may have accepted a free watch but they couldn't wear it doing any UDT work. I wore a Seamaster automatic watch.
I really love this. I'm not able to buy a watch now but it's going on my list. After being a quartz guy & discovering automatics, it's time to grow up & give quartz the respect it always deserved again.
@@VikCain It's no so much restraint as acknowledging the reality that a man has bills to pay. Someday, I'll be able to buy whatever watch I want. Today is not that day, though.
It’s a good looking watch, and I’m a ana-digi fan, but the user interface seems to be severely lacking, and the absence of a backlight is a pity too. I’ll stick with the Arnie.
If you want a movie watch but for tiny coin many casios have appeared on the big screen. From Mr Fox in BTTF to Mr Cruise in early MI right upto Kevin Heart wearing a Royale in the new Jumanji but to name a few all less than $50
well.... the middle pusher is not a "bit of issue". it is a "huge & major issue" if you ask me. I am certain that 99% of watches will be returned if they sell as it is. Hopefully they can fix it before actually selling them. Thanks for the review, Jody.
Arnie definitely is a classic and icon, this Momentum pales in comparison. This is the reason why Arnie is so ever popular. But the best bang for buck for a solar AnaDigi is still a $40 Casio AQ-S810W you reviewed before. 😀
This looks just like the first real watch my dad got me as a kid! Really like it and it brings back good memories, plus that was a great strong watch since I wore it for my whole childhood and didnt have to even replace the battery (it definitely wasnt a solar since this was the early 90's)
Sounding a bit rough there fella. Wishing you better! I’ve just bought the new Citizen Promaster Land which has fulfilled my modern Ana-digi desires for the time being.
THANK YOU JODI!!!!! I've had my eye on this watch for a bit now but wanted to hold off until I saw your thoughts on it! I bought the sea quartz after watching your video and I absolutely loved it!!!! Sounds like I'll be holding off to see if momentum fixes those issues before I add a udt to my collection! Thank you for yet another awesome review! Keep up the amazing work! Cheers from Canada!
Momentum's QC leaves a lot to be desired... I have had two SQ30 Eclipse watches come with misaligned hands/ seconds hands. (must have been made at 3:58 pm on a friday) .Sent them back the 3rd one was the charm.. Soured me on the brand.
Misaligned second hands are very common with quartz watches, most quartz watches do not have second hands that are aligned correctly, even the expensive ones.
@@Murtagh653 that may be so however I can with great confidence say I have many many quartz watches battery powered, solar powered ,kinetic powered. Including king of misalignment Seiko.. All of them were perfect. Only my Momentum Eclipse 2 of them before I got a good one were misaligned.
I had a Bucherer branded UDT which had super clean looks. I’ve previously put my name down for one of these but they need to sort out, matching lume for the dial and hands, miss-functional buttons, weak bezel action and back-play. No date function is a bit of a let down too, as is no backlight.
The old one looked a lot more interesting, with the seconds and the fourth hand timer thing (I assume it was a timer). It doesnt really look similar enough to be the same watch if they're going for Rambo fans as their audience. The pushers not working makes it moot though.
I've recently began my obsession as a watch collector. And i must say- out of all the luxury brands I've been researching, for me the AMZWATCH's watches are the most intriguing.
Great looking retro watches. That's one thing I like about my annie digi g-shocks. Very little to no lume on the dial, however a decent l e d back light lights the dial nicely. Definitely can find one of those 100 bucks or less u s. Have a look at the GA 700. It's a little Chunky, however it does the for legibility.
Love the look of this but as I wear my Arnie while watching, it doesn’t inspire me to change. The Arnie is just great…but a head to head video would be fun
thanks, Jodie: I now know not to bother with this one! I'm no fan of inconsistency for the buttons, given how repeatable the F91W is (for £10). When you consider how much better the light is on the F91W, it's no contest.. :o) Tbh, the Momentum seems like a bit of a let down for the money, given the import charges will take it toward £400 UK
Very nice. I think I like this better than the Arnie. Although I’m not quite into ani / digi watches. Of course that’s what I said about quartz watches not too long ago, and I’ve done a complete 180 on that…😅
I think the case and bezel are beautiful, and I love a good ana-digital. Great that they used a solar movement. I wish the dial was more than a draw-on. No backlight on the LCD is quite puzzling. What on Earth is going on with those buttons? If Momentum could clean up some things, I think they could be a really big player in the watch game. Their customer service is reportedly incredible. I think their yellow M20 MSS Diver might be one of the most attractive watches I've ever seen, but I haven't grabbed one because they just do a few weird things (like a 1-100 track instead of seconds, no applied logos, and I'll be snookered if I've ever seen their second hands hit the markers). Still, I stare at it dreaming of owning something that fire-hot gorgeous. Would I take this UDT over the Arnie? The truth is, I'd grab one of the colourful Citizen Promasters before either because it's simply better looking, better QC, and cheaper than either. No digital window, but I just don't know that the digital window is enough to overcome my reservations. Sure does look great on your wrist though.
The problem with the pushers ( I’ve owned / own this watch for the last few months ) is that the reason the pushers are hard to work / sometimes doesn’t register a push- is because you have to make 100% sure the pushers are all screwed all the way out. If you just “loosely” unscrew the pushers they WILL work their way back into the case making them unusable. You have to really screw them down when you unscrew them to make sure they dont work their way back into the case. Found that fix out in the first few days of the watch wondering why the middle pusher wasn’t working a lot of the times and found it it was getting loose and seeing some of the red again.
Thanks for reading my comment ! And ah man sucks that that didn’t work :( This is a great watch but they do need to improve on the pushers, add a backlight and a countdown timer and it would literally be almost perfect for me.
Well I own 3 Momentum watches. The watch repair shop in my city is a dealer of momentum watches and for the price of alot of the watches they make is really good I think. Like I said I have a few watches from Momentum but not a sea quartz or this watch in your review but I would like to get a sea quartz but I think I am going to wait and see if they do fix any of the problems with RAMBO here
Oof. I really like this, the look is cool, the sizing is good, but they NEED to fix those pushers... Glad to see you are still able to criticize where it's merited even in a sponsored review!
I certainly understand why they want to focus on the Rambo, Chronosport reissue, Navy Seals connection, but it's also a 'cousin' of the Breitling Pluto 3100. The uncommon quasi-double reissue
Well as far as I'm concerned I would prefer a comparison between this watch and the Certina DS 8 rather than the Arnie, or better still all three of them compared.
I was this 🤌 close to pulling the trigger on one of these after someone reviewed it earlier in the year. I love ana-digis and think this looks the business. Although the quality control needs to be addressed; that would drive me nuts. Guess I’d better “get off the pot” this time! Cheers!
I love the design but there are manufacturing defects - my unit arrived with pushers that get stuck when you push them in. Some of my friends who got this watch are having issues with worse than expected lume. Hopefully they fix this stuff
@@misaroorasim never used the F91. The ProTrek has quad sensors. The compass on the watch is a good backup to the standard issue compass; something I wish I had when I was an infanteer
Love the look and was about to jump on the website to gauge pre orders. But: the lack of seconds hand, lack of backlight, average lume and issues with the pushers have convinced me otherwise. All of the things this does poorly, my Seiko Arnie does well. Shame, really.
I'm a massive ana digi fan and always have been since I was a kid growing up in the 80's. I have 2 different Arnies as they are the apitamy of Ana digis (IMO) I also have 2 Citizen Aqualands to compliment the collection. I would buy this momentum but not with those incompetent buttons and lack of back light, not to mention the price tag by the time UK customs slap their charge on it. Personally I think the original UDT is far more interesting and believe Momentum dropped the ball big time on this watch, at least the Magnum watch is a faithful recreation. This version is only a wiff of the original and not a good wiff either. Momentum you need to do a version 2
I just bought an auld gruen precision 510. The first watch to appear on Sean Connery's Bond in Dr No. Can see it in the opening sequence. I Can't afford a Rolex or Omgea Seamaster so went for the best Bond watch tribute anyway ha!
Because I am such a nerd, what is the Star Wars book that is always on the shelf in the background? I have been trying to figure it out for a month now and comparing to the books in my collection and I can’t narrow it down.
I have the Momentum solar sea quartz 30. I know pretty sure it's a Seiko/Epson movement. Does anyone know the exact movement? Thanks Jody! I would definitely go for the Arni.
Momentum has a nice back catalogue glad they are reissuing them. I've been eyeing up getting a Seiko Arnie but with their price increases it is good to have an alternative option. Yeah no back light and sticking buttons need to be fixed before i'd but this.
As much as I was looking forward to the release of this watch, I'm happy that I don't preorder it. It seems more like a prototype than a usable watch. They should improve the lume and go for white hands in the future and of course get the pushers working. Btw. UDT stands for Universal Diving Timer at least that was the name of the Chronosport version. No clue why they referre to underwater demolition team, probably because it's cooler.
Thanks for another great video Jody! I'm probably far into the minority, but I can't get myself to be interested in either digi or ani-digi watches, whether movie icon or not. They just scream cheap to me (no offense intended to those who love digital). I do own a Casioak, but I wear it primarily during sports and outdoor chores because it's light and tough, and not for its digital functionality or looks.
No day- date screen and no light on the digital display? This could have been good but it ended at meh… The point in my opinion of an Ana Digi is functions, lots of them, day and date, multiple alarms, light, etc
Message to Momentum: THANK YOU MOMENTUM for using a Seiko quartz calibre in this one! I learned to totally HATE and absolutely distrust Citizen/Miyota quartz, with only ONE survivor out of maybe a dozen or so in the last 36 years, while all of my Seiko/Hattori/TMI calibres are still alive and ticking!
Perforations are not there for sweat itself, It's if the straps start to crack , you just lead the crack to the next hole and you're set. Kind of a failsafe thing.
$369 and the buttons don’t work and you can’t see the digital display in the dark. A $15 Casio has a backlight. It doesn’t deserve to make a comeback until those issues are fixed.
Good to see an honest "moans and blinkin hells" in a review of a giftred watch. Restores the cred of at least one of the TH-cam watch reviewers! Having said that, who actually uses the features on their ani digi's after the first few weeks, unless it is your only watch?
I like this. Get the crown sorted and this is really cool!! Momentum’s rubber dive strap are the best I’ve ever known. Mine has a nice subtle vanilla scent too.
Bought myself the „Magnum“. It looks great. But do not expect a good allignement … it‘s really bad. Hope the quality control is better than Rambo II (Rambo 1 is a masterpiece).
Great video, looking forward to the comparison! Like what Momentum is attempting here. A thin solar ani-digi ion plated diver with a tact-i-cool look is awesome!!! To get on my list I wish it had white hands, a second hand, a count down timer, bigger indexes that color match the lume on the hands. There is a lot to like here.
i love an anidigi dive but im going to skip this one, i dont like the bezel { it should be properly graduated }and the almost nonfunctioning buttons is an instant deal breaker
To be honest, I don't see anyting ''military'' there, that thing is too big to be a military watch. But okay.... did you ever think about a review of a real icon, a Casio G-5500, a reissue of the ''Arnie'' Casio, a ''Running Man'' Casio II? Hand down for a Seiko Arnie but a Casio have some horse for the race too, is it? Like
The Momentum Mini Eclipse is actually really neat. 30mm is way too small for me, but probably one of the nicest small divers I've seen. Solar Quartz, Sapphire crystal, 200m WR, a handset that doesn't seem copied from any particular diver, a unique dial layout (a big 12, round pips everywhere else except for the 4 o'clock date), black or silver/white dial, bezel inserts in every color of the rainbow, and on either a bracelet or rubber strap matching the bezel. Looks great, unlike anything else, and probably the most interesting small-small diver I've seen. I can't quite make peace with any of their big watch designs.
Nice. A little trivia, in the 1980s anyone in the US Military who handled demolitions were not allowed to wear a digital watch.

If you want to make it a threeway, the Citizen Aqualand might do well in the Arnie vs UDT, though it isn’t solar.

Analogue-digital is the perfect military watch. Sadly it seems only Casio does this style the best, e.g. the ProTrek line
I’ve spoken to a few soldiers and many of them used Casio f91ws and they were more than happy lol.
@@misaroorasim never used the F91. The ProTrek has quad sensors. The compass on the watch is a good backup to the standard issue compass; something I wish I had when I was an infanteer

I like this. Get the crown sorted and this is really cool!! Momentum’s rubber dive strap are the best I’ve ever known. Mine has a nice subtle vanilla scent too.
Steven Seagal had one in under siege
Really? Lol, the kiss of death. Sorry, Momentum...
No secret hand is strange
Bought myself the „Magnum“. It looks great. But do not expect a good allignement … it‘s really bad. Hope the quality control is better than Rambo II (Rambo 1 is a masterpiece).
Great video, looking forward to the comparison! Like what Momentum is attempting here. A thin solar ani-digi ion plated diver with a tact-i-cool look is awesome!!! To get on my list I wish it had white hands, a second hand, a count down timer, bigger indexes that color match the lume on the hands. There is a lot to like here.
Rambo wore a watch? 🤣
I'm not sure if I have ever watched a movie where I noticed that less
Didn’t Magnum predominantly wear a Rolex GMT?
i love an anidigi dive but im going to skip this one, i dont like the bezel { it should be properly graduated }and the almost nonfunctioning buttons is an instant deal breaker
Confucius once said in a conversation about watch bloggers: "Once they have their own microbrand, they become boring."
Confucius should have tried starting his own to prove the point then, rather than just bitching from the sidelines
So it doesn't really work then ?
Crime Is a Disease, and I'm the Cure
Great line from Cobra Sly Stallone wore a awesome 👌 Heuer 2000 diver in the film 🎥
To be honest, I don't see anyting ''military'' there, that thing is too big to be a military watch. But okay....
did you ever think about a review of a real icon, a Casio G-5500, a reissue of the ''Arnie'' Casio, a ''Running Man'' Casio II? Hand down for a Seiko Arnie but a Casio have some horse for the race too, is it?

The Momentum Mini Eclipse is actually really neat. 30mm is way too small for me, but probably one of the nicest small divers I've seen. Solar Quartz, Sapphire crystal, 200m WR, a handset that doesn't seem copied from any particular diver, a unique dial layout (a big 12, round pips everywhere else except for the 4 o'clock date), black or silver/white dial, bezel inserts in every color of the rainbow, and on either a bracelet or rubber strap matching the bezel. Looks great, unlike anything else, and probably the most interesting small-small diver I've seen.
I can't quite make peace with any of their big watch designs.
I really like it, but wouldn't buy one with the current build quality issues.
original prettier, and I want the 3rd pusher at 8
