- Being a watch owner is simple, right? You put it on, it tells you the time? No, no it is not. Owning a watch may be simple, but being a watch owner, a watch person, is a very different story. We’ve got the new HMS002 and BICOMPAX 002 from Baltic here to convey what that’s actually like. Perhaps a few of these may be familiar to you …

"Instead of reading the time we look at the watch..." :)))
You mean the lady in red dress. ;)
on watchfinder, it's always 8 past 10, anyways.
This channel has set the benchmark of how watch storytelling and reviews should be created. Incredible in every sense and funny to boot.
Last time I was this early, Breguet was only just inventing the tourbillon..
John Arnold will be disappointed.
“Factory spec human” has got to be the best description of a non watch person ever! 😂
Begs the question, are we upgraded or no longer supported?
@@alastairblair oh definitely upgraded! It would appear that I was inserted with an Omega chip with a penchant for JLC and Vacheron! 😉😂
@@alastairblair we are like Windows XP. Vastly superior in some ways, but antiquated in others. Those upgraded to Windows 10 long for the XP days, but we refuse to give it up, despite being long since unsupported.
I've worn a watch since I was in the fifth grade back in the fifties, so does that make me a watch Person. I've I've Always felt a watch was standard equipment on the human being. Like a steering wheel on a car, it just doesn't run right without one.
Haha..i love this video. I can absolutely relate. The shock when you find out you forgot to wear a watch and it's too late to go back. Then you spend the entire day glancing at an empty wrist. Everything is off. Even the way you walk seems different. Lol.
...or, when you're looking for the date on a time piece without a date feature...
Sometimes I come back home (if I’m close, like 2-3 min) because it’s unacceptable to go out without a watch
This happened to me a few times and it feels weird. I was going to the gym and forgot to put a watch on and felt it....... and i'm not one of these people who wear a watch all the time. I wear my watches when i go outside. It's rare to put a watch on while i'm home because i'm scared of banging it into something.
May I suggest a seiko 5, I keep one in the car just in case!
Love the video. Personally I would rather go out without my panties out then without watch. When I was younger, I was very high and low on kg it seemed to me that my hand with the watch is double the size,and was pretty convinced that it's complex. Later whidought even notice I got kilograms and few watches also. For 35 years I take off my watch only and only when shower,and allweys have at least 4 good ones, don't count ones that doesn't work because of some small problem. Watching video,you help me realize knowing all reasons why someone wears them it really is all about the filling of controle at least something in your life, even knowing you have non controle off almost anything at all. Watchlovers may the one on your rist be a compass for you in journey called life. At least in our minds
Does any one watch these video just because his voice is very soothing
Je haa... Jo watches ye channel dekhata ha..ma usska needle bhi afford nhi kr skta 😂😂.. bus sirf isski awaz sonnay k lye ye videos dekhta ho ..
The forced voice actually annoys me so much.
Na, because of the passion for watches which you can hear in his voice. Because of that, I want one of those watches, eventhough I know I don't need one.
@@u.d.7543 agreed
The camera angles and close ups are excellent
Your doorframe comment hit right in the feels! What a terrible thing to experience
Facts brother, it makes me cry every time
Yea, doorframe vs chrongraph pusher 1-0 😭. Wonder what that will cost? (Speedy pro)
@@OtterSam we have all been there!!
The only thing worse than a doorframe is a turnstyle going in/out of the subway. You do the subtle tuck the left arm into the back to protect it but every now and then you get the timing wrong, as the author described so perfectly with the door, like the spatial and temporal orientation sensors just spontaneously fail.
I'm just 17 but I love these and you guys have done a lot to get me interested and informed. I can't wait till I can afford more.
Go seiko as your first affordable watch. Just ask us if you need any answers. We glad to help.
I can't even afford a seiko :( the seiko fives are expensive in my country.
Keep working hard and you'll be able to get pieces that you want :) you'd be surprised how far diligence will get you
@@Luceked save up man, I'm very young too and sometimes I save up years to get a watch. But it's worth it when you're really passionate
Don't waste your money on any watch. Better save and buy proper watch for your first watch. Do not just get any watch brand or not because that is the only one you can afford. Better buy a used one but a proper watch
This dude has the best job in the world. His videos became 10 minute stand ups while some b roll is playing of some watch. I absolutely love it
It's official. I need therapy. You were speaking directly to me young man. Thank you.
I lost my Seamaster 300m behind a hotel bed last week. The room looked like the Tasmanian Devil ran through it before I found it. I know the abject terror of looking at my wrist, and not knowing where it is for a few minutes.
You must of been in one of Justin Trudeau's covid prison hotels.
I’m glad you found it, I thought I lost my watch, check my wrist to see the time, and the watch was there.
..yea, there’s no “not finding it” in that scenario..but sir..you have to leave now. “Then u better start helping me find this thing, vuz nobodys doin shit til its found”. Non watch people wont understand
Weren't there CCTV's ?
@@gogoi.p In my room? What kind of hotels do you stay at, Pete?
I must say, you make the best watch videos by far! Great knowledge, great camera perspectives so we can fully appreciate these watches that we can't afford! Very good sense of humor. Keep up with the good work!
I feel like the first scratch is almost a right of passage for each watch we get, a way to remember the time we’ve had with it, a pain in the moment and a joy later on, when you remember the great times you’ve had together
I always set my watch to the secound synced with an atomic clock just to use my phone to check the time.
I was happy the first time I inadvertently scratched my omega. It became mine more so than when I purchased it. But as they say, scratches on watches has to be your own doing just like hickies on your girlfriend.
Same with my BMW
@@gnomadification What with BMW? You have to own it to know why BMW owners don't use signal lever when changing lanes, perhaps?
I bought a watch second hand with a few scratches on it.. now what?
I love your videos... but I must ask whether it was worth to display for 10 minutes a watch that, even in its low price range, tries to overcharge for a chinese movement...
Outstanding storytelling, great writing, splendid narration! Bravo sir, truly...
Seeing the bare wrist was frightening
"Instead of reading the time we look at the watch" stop reading inside my brain!! ;)
"So why would you rather have it?...."
"Because it's *nice*"
welp time to get a new watch or two or ten
I just bought 2 watches watching this channel, I need help and a second income!
This has been one of the most comforting videos I have watched from you. I feel much better I am not alone with my oddities 😆
Wear it loose? That’s like pineapple on pizza!!
@@Justpassingb1 it’s all about personal choice. My comments are tongue in cheek
From New Haven Ct, U.S.A. Home of what has been voted many years in a row the #1 pizza in America. Big NO to pineapple pizza.
@@Justpassingb1 You are banished from the Internet, sir, for ever and ever and ever. Your Wifi code shall not pass!
Big thank you for 2k video quality.
Really enjoys your videos
This video is 100% on point and it makes me uncomfortable, I'm getting anxious...
The writing is pure perfection, as usual. Thank you for this!
That video was spot on buddy! Loved it! Live it!
That cheeky MGS alert sound effect made me LOL that I paused from hitting the weight at the gym
Stunned at how accurate every point was made. And I could remember each instance...
What a storytelling! Sir you touched our hearts...
You had me there at the MGS jingle. Great video, good laughs. Thanks!
Watch with a seagull movement featured on Watchfinders? The legendary ST19 no less. Should Jodi from JOMW be worried?
No lol, the video barely talked about the actual watches themselves, just a bunch of macro shots
What a channel!! Watch lovers around the globe owe a debt of gratitude to the writers on Watchfinder! This is comedic gold. Much needed during these times!
One of your best videos yet. Cheers Watchfinder!
Macro shots on the ST1901 😨😱🙀
First ones I’ve seen. It holds well for its 150$ price!
Ya... that first self-inflicted imperfection 🤢 then 🤬
The HMS002 crosshair dial and movement looks very impressive for a $500 USD timepiece. Great vid as always.
Interesting content. Regards.
You almost hit on something interesting with the second point. Many watch owners, myself included, find that when asked the time by a stranger we sort of stutter for a few seconds. Time telling on analogue watches commonly becomes free from digits, save for the position of the hour hand. A lot of us learn to know the time just by the shape the hands make, where the current time is more of a feeling than a data point. I'm not doing a good job of explaining it but I'm sure many of you know what I mean. Otherwise nobody would own a clean dial, and movado would go out of business.
Good point!! Never thought about like that but yes I recognise this :-)
There's a great video of Star Talk where Niel deGrass Tyson talks about how people don't tell time geometrically anymore (search why time runs clockwise). I think that's the point you're trying to make.
I resemble so much of this story. “Spatial awareness of the size of a door frame” was hysterical. Love the baltics..nice straps also..p.s. I finally got a new diver 65 and put the first scratch on it today, so nice timing w the video
Wearing my grey HMS02, checking new YT videos, and seeing this lovely new Watchfinder notification.
A real pleasure as aways....
The only thing is that now I want the chronograph too. (+the Aquascaphe...)
Well, I must say that you absolutely nailed it! I had to laugh out loud several times as I was entertained with your video. One of the descriptions was how, even though you passed through the doorway a million times, the day you are wearing your favourite timepiece is the day you find the metal door striker on the frame! Oh, believe me, I have been there. Then every time you glance at your watch, the scratch reminds you of that fateful day that you'll relive for the rest of your life!
This one rang so so true on many levels.... you have totally nailed the almost psychotic attraction of possessing and then caring for our watches. Loved it. I was disturbed to see, however, a (gasp.... can this be real?) stripped screw in the works at 8:08. Careless assembly? It sent shivers down my spine.....
Oooh nooooo! You’re right !!! VERY disappointed!
This was so spot on. Thank you!
Man, those LOUD ads interrupting. Talk about breaking the mood.
Loved the video, and am also a big fan of Baltic watches. They're coming up with the Aquascaphe Dual-Crown this month, would love to see it featured!
These both look great :)
That Bambi analogy had me dying of laughter (pun intended). What's crazy is that the feeling is so on-point. I've said it before, and I'll say it again, you're a funny guy! Do you write your own script? Genius.
Always a great video! Love it!
I really enjoy the poetry of these videos. As a watch enthusiast for decades now I understand. It is the way
Doorframe hit; so true! Can't figure it out. Perhaps with the watch on we "list" towards the watch side?! Good vid. Keep at it!
This is perfect. My Eterna keeps great time, winding it is unusually stressful. Smashing into the door has been a theme recently.
This prose is sooo good!!!! Absolute legend.
This video looks amazin! What effect are you using to get such a pristine look of the watches- ?
These Baltic watches look great up close. Lovely textures!
I was given the chronograph by my Fiancé for my 30th last month, absolutely love it! Amazing seeing it under the macro lens!
Love this video. What you say is so true and only watch lovers can understand this.
Never thought i'd get to see that Seagull chrono movement up close. It is definitely a mass produced piece but still fun to look at!
Sorry "Hands"...those Baltic are more interesting from the other side! Also...anyone else notice that burled screw at 8.06? Shame about that screwup in the mechanism when everything else is so nicely finished on the movement. But...just not my style of watch face....I'd definitely wear the watch upside down....but then the munted screw would forever be in my focus....and I didn't do the "Ding"! Great vid as always!
I noticed the damaged screw at 8.06 too.
i really enjoyed this video’s topic......✌🏻😊
This gave me a good chuckle, probably because it's so true.
this is one of the best episodes yet!
lmao! 2-tru!
Loved the video 😂. It's great to know there's more of my kind 😂
“To the right and you’re Leo Dicaprio in a Tag Heuer advert...” you sir, are an oratory genius 😂
It's a good day when Watchfinder releases a new video.
This was like a podcast. All audio, and then layered with a background video which could have been entirely ignored. But it looks pretty.
You really captured the watch enthusiast’s true ownership experience!
"....all sense of how big a doorframe is, goes out the window"...
I would like to acknowledge all the beautiful wordplay and truth in this statement! 😭😭😭🤣🤣🤣
Another first....Seagull St1901 chrono movement on the channel!
Looking at that Seagull movement while you discuss failure and bits going wrong really hits home when I contemplate the battered Venus 178 soon to be spread out across a watchmaker's workbench down in Orlando. It's worse that putting your car in the shop, almost up to the level of taking your kid to the orthopedist after a bicycle mishap on a steep hill.
I hade quite a lot of laughs out of this haha Thank you!
Love the little nod to a certain well-known stealth-themed video game's sound effect there.
😂 So true…all of it. Well told, as usual!
Thanks for the philosophical turn - even going a little dark!
Spot on, lol. I check the watch first , then the time, Then repeat.
Brilliant video
Bambi, I can relate. Every watch I own has had a Bambi moment🤯 I only buy pre-scratched watches now.
Was hoping to hear about the watches during this video...
I guess this is revealing of the actual opinion of the author...
That was fantastic!
Lol, thanks to Baltic for letting you demonstrate those. Heck, you don't even need a watch in this video. Just listening is a great pleasure.
The door frame bit got me good 🤣😭
This guy's knowledge, voice and sense of humour are fantastic.
This is how movies should be
Leo in a TAG Heuer advert lol. Also, that's a beautiful Seagull movement.
A very interesting video on an array of different subjects could you do a video on the Rolex deep sea sea-dweller the James Cameron
I love how this guy is so relateable :)
Got the it. Love it.
Nice timepiece.
Simply nice.
Yes an ST19 movement being featured!!!
Never have truer words been spoken. Made me wince and chuckle.
I like the way he describes the watches here. Well written and presented. I was, however,hoping to see his take on the watches in the thumbnail tho, not just excellent macro shots and an interesting description of factory standard humans. Still, well done.
My ocd can’t deal with that weird curve on the ‘c’. Ill not even get into the finishing, but for the price I guess it’s ok. Nice dialogue !! Very accurate.
These videos are delightful
Love the Metal Gear Solid alert noise at 1:20 ❗️📦
This video hit me right where I live. I'm staring at the scratch my Seiko got in a doorway I've had for 5 years 1 month after I bought it.
Oh my God, you are right about the process of reading the time in a luxury watch
Watch lover: I want Rolex(s)
Watch enthusiast: f**k that date window.
Man, I thought I was the only one with funny wrist bones! Not only great video, but it made me learn some anatomy 👍
I've experienced like 9/10 of all of those. Specially the first scratch and the door frame ones
Forgot the watch...check! Looking for the time then forgot to actually see it...check! The pain of that first scratch on a beloved watch...check! And on it goes...Thanks for a great vid that I definitely have to watch a few times!
What a spot on video! I laughed and cried.
I bought my second watch Glycine Airman 17 (maybe do a video about Glycine :)) to celebrate having actual salary for flying an aircraft. I knew there are going to be scratches. But I also knew the majority of them would be from a cockpit. Now I have scratches and a dent or two. I know my watch tells the story and it is pleasing me rather then driving me mad.
1:19 - the Metal Gear Solid "guard alerted" sound effect! Nothing more apropos to a video about mechanical watches than taking a sound from a game called "Metal Gear."
Of course, that's just where I first was introduced to it.
1) Extending the repertoire - ‘Talking Hand Guy’ also nails ‘Talking Wrist Guy’
2) PhD thesis on ‘The biochemical and neurological impact of watch-shop receipts on Spatial Awareness’ accepted
3) Bambi’s Mother - best laugh of lockdown 2. Sick, but very very witty.
Thanks 😊
