Best Affordable Grand Seiko? Erebus Ascent Review
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 30 ก.ย. 2024
- Fresh off the back of the release of the Origin, Erabus are back with a GADA watch! 12 different dials, different straps you name it, you can have it! But does offering so many different options dilute the watch and brands design?

Thanks Russell and Mrs Russell! Great to hear your thoughts mate - as always - and all points noted. Can I book you in now to look at all 26 versions of watch #3? Cheers, Jody.
😂
We like the options Jody. Keep them coming...all 26 of them!
A watch enthusiast brand for sure!!!!! Bring’m on!!!!!!
YES!!!
Yes pls!
A superb watch from Jody and a bargain too, but I have to say your review was so well balanced spot on Russell, particularly your observations about identity and brand family connections. What the Wife said, always makes me slightly anxious beforehand but she has an uncanny knack of cutting through the froth to deliver a laser sharp killer response. Logo like a cats arse, yikes! that’s gonna hurt but hey, she’s spot on.
The 9015 has a unidirectional wind, which I am surprised was not mentioned. Some people don’t like the feel of that.
Erebus use DHL so it absolutely WILL cost an extra £100 on import taxes and handling charges. It's a nice watch but this kills it for UK buyers unless you really want one.
I agree that's why I made a UK microbrand spreadsheet so I can track the local stuff
Well, it is better looking than the first model… the writing and logo- na…
I disagree with your statement that there are too many dials. Yeah, it might be better for the brand but not for us customers.
Thank you Jody for releasing all dials in one go and not taking the Seiko route with loads of special/limited editions! I‘ve frequently felt somewhat left behind by other brands when they launched a much better looking version while I had already bought one of the older ones.
I hear you my friend! The Origin was a huge deal wasn’t it ! The first watch from a starter brand . It feels that the watches dial options have been spent and the team have moved onto the next watch! This one feels that way again! The boys have another watch to get out in 3 months time !! ? An iconic watch needs to time to bed into the psyche. If the Origin and Ascent were to have a passport each , which watch would be the photo?
There is an idea in psychology called the “paradox of choice”: when people have too many many choices, they often end up less satisfied with what they pick.
@@THEMADWATCHCOLLECTOR I did not like the Origin design enough to buy it, so I won’t suffer from this “problem” 😁
I do feel there are a lot of dials to choose from. 'Too many'? Perhaps, as I've seen many folks in the group say something similar but I 100% knew I was going to order the white enamel and if I were a touch more adventuresome, the orange fume. To the notion of offering, say, three dials initially then adding five or six more a few months down the road, I think that would turn off more initial buyers.
Well said. My sentiments exactly. Also….I don’t want too many makes and models of the same watch, differentiated by the trim.
Knocked it out the park i think. Ref the choice- nothing more annoying than buying a new watch and then later they do a "special edition", so i think they've been super honest releasing all together.
Yeah I agree with you mate. I’ve been stung that way plenty of times.
This is an aside to your excellent review! But I have to disagree about your take here on sports and dress watches. I think most enthusiasts would place watches like the Rolex OP and the AP Royal Oak in the sports watch category, and I'm not sure I'd want to go hiking, mountain biking, or mud wrestling in these. Are we talking about a GADA sports watch or a tool watch/beater/G-Shock?
The line between dress and sports watches has definitely blurred, for sure, but I guess I have a more conservative view, and the Ascent is a long way from something I'd consider a true dress watch. 100% a GADA sports watch, though!
Cheers Max! It’s the balance of lume to shiny surfaces on the dial. The watches dial is a dress watch man and op is an all rounder for sure . The Royal Oak is half as shiny as this :) .
I’ve handled millions of watches now , it’s just my opinion based on that
@@THEMADWATCHCOLLECTOR Fair enough! You've convinced me it must be pretty shiny in the metal! I absolutely respect your view, but dress watches to me aren't worn on metal bracelets but on fine leather straps, and look more like a Calatrava or a Tank, for example, than the Ascent does.
PS - the EREBUS font alone kills all dress watch potential for me. Fully agree with you that there's an identity crisis going on with these multiple typefaces!
@@max.loves.watchesdefinitely agree there my friend!
Aye GADA for me is along the lines of what you say Max, as I never go mud wrestling or mountain climbing. I would usually wear a quartz on my bike though but that's about it. For my unadventurous lifestyle, a GADA doesn't need to do too much, just have 100 m WR 😂
It's a casual sports watch that can make a "pass" as a dress watch. Not a high business dress watch or something I would say fits well at a wedding or funeral but it could make do.
And like you said it's definitely not a "tool" watch but something you could wear out on a vacation or weekend out on the town... and also wear to work in an office environment. Just might want to upscale to a real dress watch if you are talking business executive/senior management level though.
I like this better than the Origin.
This is a great review with solid points made. I expect Jody and Mr P to use this moving forward and building their brand. This review also reaffirms that your reviews are truly authentic. Great job!
Brian thank you!
If you think of Grand Seiko, it's a dress watch.
If you think of Omega Aqua Tera , it's a sport watch.
When I think of any current Seamaster apart from the 007 no time to die one and Ploproff! , I think dressy office watch Aqua Terra ain’t doin no sport with me!
@@THEMADWATCHCOLLECTOR Completely agree.
I think it's ok for the sports watch and divers to differ in look. My first thought was that a submariner and a date just dont have that much in common either. Though I do get the point about brand identity and how some brands have made a real effort to establish their "look".
Completely agree that they should have staggered some of the colour releases but also kind of glad as a consumer that they didn't so no colour or style was subject to an arbitrary limited edition scarcity tactic or other marketing ploy.
The cat's bum is the new dog's bollocks!
Love the video, as usual. I have to disagree on limiting the number of variants. I have serious LIMITED EDITION FATIGUE! It was refreshing to see so many choices. I bought 2 watches and my wife bought 2 watches. I have skipped buying a watch because I am waiting to see if they come out in a different dial color and now I know not to buy your next watch if I really like it, but I will wait to make sure I can't do without it because you may come out with something I like even better as a "special edition" later.
Hahahahahaha do t have the money of me the thickened skin to own a brand. Hopefully you’ll see a diver collaboration with Radcliffe and it will be using British MOD specifications!;)
Releasing dial varieties over time and limited editions are two totally different things...
I love how real you are. Integrity and honesty are sadly missing in this day and age. Well done for having spades of both.
Thank you my friend!
@@THEMADWATCHCOLLECTOR No worries mate. I commend anyone who is living their best life through a passion.
Thanks for the 100% honest review! Much respect!💪🏾
Nice review. I'm personally glad that they chose to give all of the different options at once. I like the idea that I'm not buying the same exact watch in the same exact configuration as everybody else who buys the watch. I think I would have been upset if I only had a couple of color options, chose one, and then a little while later they came out with more exciting ones. I'm glad they did it how they did it.
Thanks my friend! Listen in the whole scheme of things finding someone in your town wearing an Erebus is next to slim!!!;) I don’t think you’d have to worry there!
I think you voiced some good niggles there. But at the same time, I think it is of Erebus' best interest to move as many watches as they can at one given time, to make it cost effective to produce. Producing more than you can turn around and keeping stock cost lots of money.
Personally, I really dislike when companies release a product that you buy in to, only to release a "better and improved" product a few months later. So I much prefer that they are offering all the dials at the same time.
That being said, I did not get the feels enough to buy the Origin, but I ordered the green fumé Ascent pretty much right away.
Bet you they come up with a slimmer Origin
made by san martin , another Chinese ali express watch but over priced one, soon we will see it at 70% discount, maybe even same watch with different branding .
Like most GADA watches, by trying to be everything to all people they inevitably lack identity and bore me. If I want a dress watch I'll wear a dress watch, likewise with a diver, field or pilot's watch. I wear a watch to match the occasion. That's not to take away from the obvious quality of this piece mind you, it does look very well made and has a great movement. It's just boring.
I don't disagree with you completely, but outside of the watch community, most folks probably have one or two watches they wear regularly. For those looking for one single watch for most occasions, a slightly dressy sports watch is a great choice and is, what I consider, a GADA watch.
Am no expert in a lot of things and a specially watches but just enjoy your enthusiasm that comes a cross on your channel
Danny!!!!! You are one of my favourites!
Enthusiasm …. Or manic energy of a teenager gorging in red bull with adhd issues ? 😯🙄
People enjoy watching this hyperactive loon talking b******x ?!!! Wtf !! 😮.
Nearly choaked on my slice of pizza when quoted the wife's opinion especially the logo comment regarding it resembling a cats jacksey !! 😂😂😂😂😂😂
The end link looks too protruding. It looks uncomfortable and awkward. 6:33
Well the watch wears smaller than 39, I think it gives more of a presence , didn’t feel uncomfortable. If the watch was 41 mm maybe but I didn’t get that
I agree with you about the Erebus DNA. They should think about it more seriously in the near future. Think less about putting good things from other sources together with minor changes, but more about the originality. I agree that more generic and safer designs are okay at the beginning, but that phase should not last too long.
I will buy the Ascent. Just because I like it.
I agree with the Lorier comment on making an actual impact to the market. This Erebus brand is just…a brand that’s a good value. It’s just like every other entry level brand though. Good business decision? Most definitely, I could see any average Joe wearing 1 or the other
Good review! Still looking extremely forward to my two ordered Ascents and I wouldn't have ordered two units if only two dial colors were available from the beginning. Personally, I love the approach. And, by the way, why should two models of a brand have similar crowns or cases? Look at all well established names, they significantly differ from model line to model line too! Well done, Jody!
Congrats my friend and absolutely
I definitely get a SARB033 vibes from the Ascent. The SARB is certainly on the dressier side of the GADA watch spectrum so I guess it makes sense. I liked the diver but I am much more of a GADA watch guy so this is very tempting! Jody is a total legend of the watch game so it’s no surprise he and Steve have nailed it once again. Anyone interested in one of these will be getting a cracking watch, I have absolutely no doubt!
Awesome show as always MWC 👏👏👏
Thanks Gareth!
Great review, but I think I disagree on the number of dials available. I think people, Jodi and Steven included are tired of the limited edition slow release b.s. and I believe they'll sell more as people have a choice from the start. This type of watch doesn't usually do anything for me and with only one or two dials I wouldn't have bought one. But because there were so many my order has been placed for a Purple Helix on a "J" bracelet.
That Ginza style "helix" dial is stunning 😯
Although I don’t always agree with your opinions on certain pieces, I appreciate that you kept it real in the last part in the video, when you talked about the brand intangibles, despite your friendship with Jody. It is more than commendable that they launched so many dials and they’re trying to please as many enthusiasts as possible. But branding is also developed by people talking about your releases in anticipation, about possible v2 dial colours, about design language, etc. I too agree that they are so well intentioned in terms of pushing these great watches to as many wrists as possible that they are leaving these more long-term aspects behind.
It’s interesting to see where the brand sits in 5 years from now! I definitely think the brand is here to stay but the identity or character of it needs to be addressed
Its a nice watch. Is it $300 nice that I would pull the trigger? No its just ehhhh. Not bad but its not saying hey take my money.
Naah. Way too Ali express bitzah for mine .. and coming from a guy who flogs all things Ali express watches .. what else to expect from a YT watch reviewer?? Bizarre watch designs and mish mash branding .. And the high price?? For that money I’ll buy a Seiko please… Yawn ..
Hi Russell. You complain about the italic font. To me, that is a pretty obvious tip of the hat to the SARB033, and therefore it is AWESOME by default !! 😄
Thanks for the great review! We love our cats bum here at Erebus!
I think she only said that as she couldn’t find anything to moan about Steve! Well done incredibly made watches!
Thanks mate - we sweated on that one a lot!
wife's comment killed me 🤣
I don’t usually go this way, but I’m going blingy for this watch. I love the Purple Helix dial on the Ascent.
DO IT!!!!
I ordered that on the Jubilee. Can't wait to see it come in August or so.
I'm a toolwatch guy so the Erebus is more of my thing. The only mineral dial I would even consider in a more dressy watch would be a labradorite dial.
Besides the finishing, what makes a GS is the movement. Nice watch this, but no comparison.
I’m curious, why would you never buy the Aventurine one?
I’m on the fence on that one. I think it looks great in photos/video, but I’ve never seen an Aventurine dial in person.
Curious about your thoughts.
Thanks. 🙏
The dial while awesome and looks like a galaxy far far away just distracts me from seeing the time my friend
Limited edition marketing scams. I disagree. It is great that we have a large variety of dials. Good job Erebus 😊
Doesn’t have to be a scam?!?! Make 50 of each mineral dial once there gone there gone ???
I pre-ordered the malachite and aventurine - seemed to go better with the overall design aesthetic. Bracelets look awesome at this price point.
Yeah no. These watches are generic and lack personality. Next!
Very nice but boring...
Luckily for Jody, Cats Bum was exactly the look he was going for. Nice watch, though, to be fair. Meooww !!
I'd rather buy a Spaghetti Scametti than this boring thing.
Looks like a roamer
Yeah I thought the italics weren't a favourite element when he unveiled it on his channel
I allready have 30ish watches. I know exactly what I want in a watch. I love that Erebus gives choices, I don't care about brand identity becouse I can only have 2 watches of a brand and I prefere that the designer has freedom. I will never buy a Lorier becouse I don't like the estetic.
That’s great for you matey!
Well........ great review, i very much like the green dial however now all i can think about is a cats a-hole !! 😂😂😂 your wife's thoughts never disappoint ❤
Definitely agree regarding the font. It just doesn't look right and some brushing on the case would have been more fitting for a sports watch. However, for the price it's still a good buy.
It’s an awesome value proposition
Spot on...
I am new to your channel. That is a truely honest review, you do leave out the negatives, much more honest than the others. Personally I don’t like the Word ‚Erebus‘. It is a dealbreaker.
Great watch, great review.
But I must say, it is pronounced mee-yo-ta, not mai-yo-ta. Cheers!
I never mentioned that word in this show!!!!:/
The comment of the wife about the logo, that was rough.
Think it was cos she couldn’t find much about the watch to moan about!
I reckon Jody should send you an Erebus special couple t shirts with extra large cat bum logo! Haha
I like the logo!!
Zelos releases new watches every couple months, and releases many different colorways each time. That approach has not seemed to hurt Elshan at all. Zelos remains one of the most hyped, respected microbrands out there. I have a feeling Erebus will do just fine with their current approach.
Although I prefer the male end link because it feels sturdy, I feel like the end link is designed to be too long.
I agree with you about the brand identity. Jody clearly understands what the watch collecting community like and look for in a watch, so both releases have been checking all the boxes - but perhaps that takes away the charm of a unique identity.
It’s so hard isn’t it my friend! Sometimes the lack of something in a watch adds to its character . But what that could be ????;)
@@THEMADWATCHCOLLECTOR lack of marketing blurb, fabricated brand stories, maybe? A watch brand by a watch enthusiast, for enthusiasts, checking all the boxes there are! I still value the unique design features in watches though
@@THEMADWATCHCOLLECTORit's a bit like a Lamborghini. When the car was a bit worse before audi/vw take over, it was a better and more exciting car! Partly coz it had worse handling, unreliable and a bit slower. Humans are strange! Haha
More an every day office watch
other than bussines advice and personal taste I can't see any downsize, (for me it would require a little bit of adjustment since this would be my smallest watch and my wrist is masive) the watch is great, Jody and Steve knocked it out the park with this one.
this is surely an Ascent from the previous model.
I'm 100% agree with the negatives. you made a good point with sorta brand DNA. they're just another well made homage brand at this point.
The American accent in the price drop. I love it 🤣 I smiled.
Much love from across the pond in WI 🧀
Generally, this is a thoughtful review. However, I do appreciate that Erebus watches offer so many color variations. May I also suggest that different styles on different watch models can be a virtue? At least Tissot, Seiko, Longines, Hamilton, and many other venerable brands seem to think so. I suspect that most watch buyers are less interested in a brand having a consistent aesthetic than the company presenting a range of designs that might appeal. The Ascent logo and fonts are attractive, at least to this prospective buyer. I'm most interested in the black and blue enamel variations. Congratulations to Erebus for this new release!
Infinitely preferable to to the aliexpress photocopier watches. This is a winner, if the quality control is up to scratch .
8:55 Mud wrestling 😂😂😂
I do think your point about the two Erebus models not having a family style is correct. It just goes to show how hard coming up with new original designs is.
Why would you want all the watches to look the same? If high quality is the through line, I'd much rather have that, than the same watch with a different dial/bezel.
But Jody does seem to miss something with each watch. The fonts don't look good on the watch, they're clashing with one another.
@@gilbertoflores7397 I'm not saying they should look the same, just they should have a cohesive design language. Your comment on the fonts backs this up to an extent.
Its fine, i dont need one. Dressysport i think is spot on. At thoes prices its surprising there is a lot of options with that movement about more than you think in the uk.
A very good review and balanced, you are right about drip feeding would have given it a longer sale life.
Thanks TB!
Lol 🤣 jody is like ok dude wait until you bring out your next watch lol
Just received (DHL shipping ) brand new Ascent with Green Malachite Dial - great watch and looking like a pro , runs great and 100 meter water resistance is great bonus !
Jodi is selling $1000 watches for $400. Insane value
Absolutely
Ahhh no lol. This is in now way equal to a $1000 watch lol. $300 yes, $1k no way lol.
Actually it is the other way around: a lot of brands are selling $300 watches for $1000.
@@daleyfamily2179 I like my $300 Orgin more than my $900 Zelos Eagle 2 and much more than my CW Trident. The Origin Lume throws off my circadian rhythm, but find it worth the chronic fatigue.
Oh my...had a chuckle with the logo comment...LOL nice review for this watch. The black one screams "Seiko, you shouldn't have discontinued the SARB. Now we take all the money." Brilliant watch Jody and Steve. Entertaining and informative review as always TMWC. Agree with your comment on having the designs between the Origin and the Ascent being disjointed, but maybe its just Erebus finding their groove. Let's see what comes next.
Hrmm... I always enjoy your views. I agree that I don't love the 'Ascent' on the dial, mostly because of the different font compared to the depth rating. That is a very small niggle for me. I personally don't agree with the lack of a cohesive look between the watches. I mean, the 6105 'Willard' looks NOTHING like the Alpinist and those are probably my two favorite current Seikos (RIP SARB) and the Aqua Terra looks NOTHING like the Speedmaster which are my two favorite Rolexeseseses. If I were to use one unifying word for the Origin and the Ascent, I'd call them collectively 'no nonsense' meaning, though they are obviously VERY different, sharing nothing except the brand name, they both look like the were designed by someone (or 'someones') wanting to take their favorite aspects of a handful of their favorite watches without adding anything too out of the ordinary. Some said the Origin was too plain or had too much open dial. I saw that as uncluttered and VERY legible. Sort of 60% field watch, 40% diver which I thought was great. I might order another at some point. I dunno. As a fan of slightly more dress field and sports watches, the Ascent is literally right up my alley. The Aqua Terra is my favorite Omega and the SARB033 is probably my favorite Seiko. Grand Seiko is never a bad thing so of course I was going to love the Ascent and I'd absolutely wear mine every day if I didn't have 100 other watches, 20 of which aren't too dissimilar.
With Seiko you are talking about 2 watches that were made 20/30 years apart with the Willard and Alpy! When Seiko made the 6105, take a look at the other “sports” watches they were making . The 6139, the 62 Mas , the Seiko 5 sports. they all look like they came from the same family !
Honestly, my only moans and niggles with both the Erebus Origin and Ascent is how I can't purchase multiples of each.
I could easily see myself purchasing 4 of each type........
If only I had the wrist time and the $$$
I like it alot. But what a massive selection of dials as you said. Cestrian master series kind of only slightly better made and movement. With import tax on the Erub the Cestrian being a UK brand clinches it for me as the gada watch on a budget.
I agree with what you said about people buying this watch for the dial. I am one of those people. I was not impressed at the watch in the release video, until Jody showed the purple helix. I ordered one the same day.
Second video on the trot that's absolute mustard 😊
These look very nice indeed. If they applied the Erebus logo onto their divers, I think that would be a boss move and definitely a watch I'd buy because everything else looks perfect.
It makes a stunning dress piece. I would love to wear one of these to church.
Hahahahaha
Spot on....😂
or should I say Superlative review as usual MWC! Agree with most things, the quality definitely looks great and they need to sort out the branding before it becomes like CW. Less choices would be good, but they will still sell, however your marketing brain would be useful to them. I don't believe they have as much character as the mad hacker, but they are great watches. You can't lose being so similar to a GS, but I think they need to find their own identity. 👍
Cheers Stu!
I’ve preordered a purple fumé on o style bracelet with black strap pack. I’m very strongly considering adding a white enamel on j style before the preorder period ends 😊
congrats my friend!
Wow, what a beautiful review!!! The watch is nice too though! :)
It’s a clothes off sports 🏏
EREBUS traded customer choice over Brand Hype, thanks Jody, we appreciate it.
Perhaps that's the branding that EREBUS wants to be known for, customer choice, service and satisfaction.
I'd prefer to buy into a brand that values those things over their design language any day.
The way this vid is edited makes me think the target audience is not older than 14 years while the content is clearly targeting people older than that. It was just too much for me. Just my two cents.
Boring. I’ve literally seen that watch from 500 different watch companies before. Guys, let’s come out with an original watch. It’s a blue dial watch, wow, how original. I’m getting so bored with the fact that 99% of watches now look the same. Zero originality
It is like an upgraded SNXS77. Upgraded size, dial, crystal and movement. Even the position of the date window is an upgrade IMHO. But resemblance is uncanny. So it looks like a modded seiko for my untrained eyes. Wish they differentiate their watches a little more like you said.
There's a pun in there somewhere with Erebus being the ancient greek embodiment of darkness / underworld and the logo reminding of a cat's bum 🙈....anyways, quite tempted by the Ascent, the black helix dial in particular.
Too many choices? I cannot stand it when corporations play, cat and mouse games with my wallet. I’m a big boy and can choose a watch; thank you for giving me the choices. I’ll take the purple-fume (nearly burgundy?) - seemingly a scarce offering in the watch world. Just another indication Jody is a genuine fellow and TRUE Scotsman and NOT another corporate-watch turd
I reckon 99/100 I completely agree with 'the wifes' no holds barred punchy reviews. Should there be a Mad Wifes Channel? Just putting it out there.
I definitwly with you about the number of variants. Too much.
Even the Ascent itself, I believe it was launched too early.
As you said, it is still in the Origin's honeymoon phase and Jody gives us another watch.
After ascent, hope Jody and Mr P learn a thing or two about marketing campaign/product release strategy.
All the design decisions were perfect. Nevertheless the final product looks unexciting unfortunately.
I think Jody is leaning too much into Zelos's M.O. and isn't really doing anything exceptional to separate from Zelos. Even the dial choices are pretty much carbon copy of a lot of zelos releases. Looking forward to seeing what the future holds for Erebus, but I'm underwhelmed with this release and the origin.
Probably gonna get flamed for this take, but I'm alright with that I guess
I'm going to be nice for a change and suggest your wife is clueless. Oops, I lied. I passed on the Origin but absolutely think Jodie and Mr. P hit the Ascent out of the park. I'm ordering one on a 'P' bracelet, I just need to decide which dial I like best. Tell your wife to get back to the laundry.....
Keep your Friends close and your Enemies Closer. - Jody
Cat sphincter?! Hahahaha!
I seem to recall he had words about your watch that weren't all positive so fair game.
And I totally agree they should have staggered the release with the dials and kept some familial design language with the Origin and A Scent.
I disagree with putting a limit on the dials, it’s absolutely amazing that they launched all 12 options!!! For dial people like me, having a dial to choose from the beginning is super important! 😁
Russell you need to be Jodie's marketing advisor and they should get your input before production, but a nice watch in the style of my Grand Seiko SBGX261
While I like it a bit more than the origin, (and both get so many things right for the money) , there is nothing that really sets them apart, or says "that's an Erebus watch" besides text or a logo.
It feels like the best parts of so many other watches, yet loses its own identity by doing so imho.
I guess by enthusiasts, for enthusiasts and pulling from the most liked watches out there and giving tons of options is the model? 🤷🏾♂️
All said I like the orange fumé. That would be my choice.
I’ve been hanging out for your take on this one as I think the ascent is really nice and despite the current discount it’s still a fair bit of coin to consider parting ways with. Totally agree on the branding comments, just not a big fan of the Erebus font which devalues it a bit for me. The logo seems to look better in 3D at least. I just have to work out if in 5 years time if I’ll be glad I spent this much on this brand of watch. I definitely normally don’t care about brands at all so it’s mostly the font ha ha. Great value for money otherwise!
I did buy the black enamel in the end haha. Can’t resist a bargain.
It's unusual that you'd name your watch brand "a personification of darkness" or alternatively "a place of darkness in the underworld on the way to Hades"🤔
Thanks for the balanced review…I thought you were a bit too rosey during your Origin review. This review was more balanced. I am sure it is well built, but there are many well built watches. Just doesn’t seem like anything special. It’s safe…even boring.
I have the blue enamel and orange fume in the cart, but waiting for more reviews to decide which 2 to buy.
I disagree with you on too quick of a release. I cannot wait for #3. The Origin I bought to support the brand, ended up being much better than expected and is now my daily driver. If anything, Erebus illustrates how big brands with history and name recognition are ripping off its consumers with higher prices and lower specs.
