I am exhausted by all of the Kickstarter watches, but this one- this one has my attention. It’s half the price of most others and it’s not a diver! Props!
Perfect. I absolutely love the dial. Great size. Reasonable price.
Really beautiful watch. Perfect size, clean, uncluttered dial, nice indices and handset, lovely caseback, nice lume, a strap monster for sure, good water resistance. Nothing to complain about. I like the lack of date window, might prefer no ghost date, but definitely not a big deal. A win! A contender for a one-watch collection. Thank you for another great review!
NH38. Don't know what the price differential is for bulk between the 35, 36, and 38. Could be significant at scale.
Yes I agree. Only thing is, would have been great if it had drilled lugs. But I would still buy one anyway 😂
the "it´s like Christmas guys" got me haha
Wrists not only come in sizes they also come in shapes. Round and flat come to mind and can make a big difference. By the way, 7 1/2 isn’t exactly the John Holmes of wrists.
Really cool. Love the black face because the gold colour hands really pop. Nice.
I really like that salmon dial and bracelet.
I believe if you have no date, then use the correct movement DAMNIT!
Who cares???
@@TheTomtomer
I care!
After returning to video reviews on this watch over and over, I finally decided to jump and buy the dang thing. Can't wait for November.... ugh... winter... but with a new watch.
Are you enjoying the watch?
Very Longines Spirit looks for a budget, I like it!
Great video, maybe you should say "Lox Color Dial" for Passover
I’ve backed it as I just love the Salmon too. But Jory if it’s lox colour surely it can’t be faux patina - it’s merely smoked?
I’ve been looking at field watches lately and this easily tops my list with the 200m water resistance and aesthetic simplicity. The lume seals the deal. I’m going to kickstart this once it’s up. Thanks for bringing this watch to my attention.
I think you'd get a better value with Long Island Watches auto 39 mm field watch and its in stock. I have one and its $199.
@@violinmke I have four Islanders and they are awesome. However I think the axios is more aesthetically pleasing than the islander field watch.
@@violinmke Islanders are on my radar, but this is a different beast.
Great watch for either an established collector to wear daily and enjoy, or a great gift for a young collector just getting started. In any event it would be around for many years of use. With little or no worry about loss. theft, damage, etc.
I do like the Salmon color, but I need at least a date window to be a winner
They knocked it out ......really dig the salmon dial and that lume man great value timepiece
Winner winner, great looking watch, bravo! 🏴👍🏻
About a week and a half ago, I took delivery of a 38 mm Praesidus, A-11 homage. This is a faithful reproduction of the timepiece that WW11 Veteran Tom Rice lost as he parachuted out of a plane over Normandy. I’m very happy with this watch and, with exception of its sapphire crystal and a Seiko NH35 Auto movement, it has a vintage, simple look that I really like.
Love to discover new watches. Thanks for Micro Brand Mondays.
This one checks many boxes b/c it's simple and impeccable finish.
Thanks for sharing.
That Salmon field watch looks great, especially with the grainy dial texture.
Damn nice watches. Very happy with the super reliable movement, wonderful Axios, great work. I still love me some Vostok Europe.
Jory I love microbrand Monday. You put me onto LIV watches Miami and I ordered the Saturn V about a year ago and its due to ship any day. Very excited. Thank you.
Follow-up - Nailed the overall review. Love that Salmon dial. What makes this sub-40mm case doable is that there's no traditional crown to take up excessive space; thus the dial having a larger visual appearance.😎👍
I think this watch is a real winner! I just ordered the same with a slate gray dial color. The only think I would have like more is the option for a date on the dial. Oh, and it a 200m water resistance, you slipped and said 100m...no soup for you!
Tbh would prefer the date on a field watch. Nothing more utilitarian than the date - it's the one complication that is really useful, beside being a chrono I guess. Besides that I love it - beautiful dial, applied indices (which is always a plus imo), near perfect size (i'm just slightly worried about the lug-to-lug being a bit long), sapphire with AR, finally a NON-oyster bracelet (I don't think they look good, not sure why people love them and put them everywhere, I suppose simply for the Rolex association?) and all for a very reasonable price while most microbrands price themselves out of my reach. A bit scared to kick start though, I usually never back anything as I've read about too many failed projects...
Really nice looking watch ! And finally, a field watch with a screw down crown AND 200M
water resistance at a great price !
Maybe drilled lugs will be in the next version ! ❤
Boldr Venture: "Am I a joke to you? :("
@@alexc.3727 very true, a different anesthetic though ❤
@@jonathanrobinson9208 agree. Still checks all your boxes though, even drilled lugs :)
@@alexc.3727 I love they're diver ! (I'm trying to justify a reason for having one) 🤫❤
The Pull-Out King approves of and enjoys Jory’s sense of jocularity.
We thank you, Sir, because you are the real deal. Apologies if this has been asked before, but... is there a T3 watch in the pipeline? I can really see a Jory design in the watch space :) Instead of your own review, you could be explaining your design choices, and even what the whole process behind a micro-brand. That could be a nice new channel segment. Maybe your paying channel supporters could have sneak peaks etc. Have a good one!
I just saw an ad for these yesterday!! What a timely video!
I love both dials, nice raised numerals.
Looks like I’ll be purchasing at least 2 more watches in the near future. Great vid. Awesome looking watch.
Really like that dial texture. Good size, bold numerals. Nice watches. Good vid. Keep at it!
Can't wait to see the reviews about the neo Tokyo's!!!
I really like this one in the salmon color and the dimensions are pretty perfect for me
I like the features. Water resistance, screw down crown, AR coating - the things missing from what I consider the field gold-standard (Hamilton).
Love it!!! Reliable movement, 316L steel, looks awesome and it wont break the bank. I worked insurance for a while and the amount of worry expensive watch owners go through is just mind boggling to me.
Overall great looking watch
Great looking watches. Maybe the best I’ve seen in a while.
Amazing dial
Oh man, I'm a sucker for a nice vintage inspired watch with a 200m screw down crown. I need that water resistance.
I like it - it looks good and the price is right. If I hadn’t just bought a Tuna, I’d get in on the kickstarter TODAY! Good luck to a promising new company: Axios.
Very impressive! My favorite along with Boldr for sure.
Great review Jory.
Love that salmon dial, a bit of copper tone. Best one I have seen. Jory you were having way too much fun with that box! LOL
Those Axios are really sharp looking!
Bottle Green, I do believe on that watch roll.....
It's got depth baby and it isn't a diver. Impressive!
I have a 9 inch wrist and my daily is a 31MM rolex speed king.
Apart from movement, they looked at Seiko's perfect lume as well.👍👍😊
The flat top brushed bezel on this is much simpler to do than the one on Serica. This one has circular brush, Serica has vertical brush. A much harder job during assembly to align the vertical brush north to south. That aside, Serica one has wider bezel. But interesting dial on this one nonetheless.
Emerald green. That's the colour of the watch role IMO.
Always makes my day
Great review , and super macro shots !! Like the salmon one , tempted to buy one ... lets see if i can hold on to my itch .... the crimson variant (on their site) also looks pretty cool .....
That Pegasus looks gorgeous
Hi, Jory! Definitely lean strongly toward the black dial; I have always liked the classic/retro field watch aesthetic, and that one seems to fit the bill very nicely. I'd like to see it with a leather strap or a NATO, too. I'm not a huge fan of bracelets, although I do believe one should have a few in the watch case, and that's a pretty decent-looking bracelet. Thanks for another cool video,T3!
Put on my list!
Price nice! Salmon dial with bracelet would be nice!!! 🤩🤩
The best time of the week
I was about to say "yet another microbrand with a Seiko movement." Then you opened the watch roll and took them out.......and wow!! Then you mentioned the price.....and double wow!! These are really beautiful pieces. Love the dial texture, the hands, the indices. I would be very happy with either of them. As people on your side of the pond say, they hit this one out of the park! Only gripe, using a date movement with no date isn't a good feel. Nothing worse than a ghost position.
Pretty darn cool
I'm planning to have another field watch and this might be the one.
Damn they both look so good. Love the lume too. Another great vid bro.
This reminds me greatly of my Cincinnatus Field watch from Cincinnati Watch Co! But that salmon dial 😍😍😍
And i agree with what you said about display casebacks. The NH35, while a wonderful movement, isn't a particularly pretty one. We don't need exhibition casebacks on watches with unremarkable movements.
A rare, eye catching watch and very appealing to me. My primary quibble is the polished edges. IMO, polishing a field watch takes the 'field' out of the watch.
Wish they would have used the 9000 series miyota... BTW, 8"er right here...💪🏽🤣
Gorgeous watch.
One of the more interesting micro releases to me. 👍
Love Field watches done right!
I might get this one day when its not on Kickstarter. I think its unique but subtle.
Great dial, applied numerals and case dimensions. I agree on the logo commentary. I am disappointed with the choice of the flat crystal. The Pegasus reminds me of Napoleon Dynamite, could do without.
Jory, you should give Luminox another shot. Try reviewing the automatic sport timer from them. Sellita sw220 movement, sapphire, etc. I don't have any monetary interest in Luminox, just a fan of their products. I'm telling you, you're selling them short without seeing their mechanical option. Quality watch! I have omegas, a laco, longines...and this watch is quality. Without a doubt. Try it out!
That Lum is fantastic!!!
Salmon dial with navy sailcloth strap… 👍🏻
I feel the design would complement cathedral hands a bit better
Really like that salmon dial. Looks like a solid offering and if Zelos are anything to go by, these will be a big hit!
A leather strap would rock that black dial
Good looking watch and not asking too much $ unlike other micro brands
reminds me so much of the longines spirit
Thanks for the review. I prefer a no-date, but with no ghost position. (NH38)
Zelos and off shoot brands offer a nice watch for the price IMO.
I wonder how much more would cost the NH38 on the final price.
Nice watch
What I think would be a good idea is a field watch with a rotating bezel. Nothing fancy perhaps a friction fit akin to a Vostok. I like the readability of a field watch with the usefulness of a rotating bezel.
Agree, but without the numerals and markings on the bezel to keep the design clean. Like the Hanhart Pioneer One or the Breitling Aviator 8.
Nice fieldwatch ! Is a date version planned ?
Handsome piece.. no brainer at 300 bucks.
I would like the black dial more if it weren't for how visible it makes the "Pathfinder..." text, it stands out a little too much. The Salmon dial makes it look more like a "background" element.
Yeah that is a nice watch, price is right to boot. Always enjoy micro Monday.
It’s 200 meter not 100 like you mention at the end. I love the black dial...that other color is a little “whimsy” . But overall a very nice finish and spec for the money.
Agree...but it is 200 not 100
@Richard Westwood ha ha... I wouldn’t go 15 feet. But it is marked 200. It’s still a nice watch.
I think the whole "small watch" fear that people have is ridiculous. I have relatively large wrists, and my dailer driver is 36mm. Granted, its case design makes it wear larger, but it's a small watch by today's standards nonetheless. IMO, the 36mm timepiece will never go out of style, and I wish it was more popular.
With the new Casio Protrek PRW-30 release, it would be cool to see a solid review on it, if you're planning one that is :)
The salmon dial is spectacular. Can we get a coupon code???
I love the look of the salmon one, for me it would be even better if it had a date window
Jordy do have some pictures with the Salmon dial on the bracelet and a leather strap?
Yeah. I had been hoping till the end he tries salmon one on a strap. Never did)
Great watch.
If I would have known about it when it 'kick' started at 249$, I probably would have bought one: Axios and Zelos make awesome watch cases, with, at least in my opinion, the right dimensions. The only thing where they go a little wrong, imho (especially Zelos) is their dials: They're often too 'baroque': 'Meteor' and stuff: Pfff, come on.
For example, I like the Zelos Mako's case very much, but the only dial I somewhat appreciate is the 'Frost' version. All the other ones I consider a little too kitchy.
Having said that, I hope they stay around, because I admire their efforts and their 'approachability' (Is that even a word? I'm not a native english speaker, so I apologize already)
Jory, thank you for the video!
Best regards
PS: Are you sure about 'ThreaDDed'?
Teal is the color of the watch wallet. Love the fact that they decided not to publish Moby Dick on the dial. Okay, I exaggerated, but take a look at the Swiss Watch Company Bunker. Now that's a publication on the dial. Love the Bunker, but the text really turned me off. I have to decide if I want to blow more money on a watch. This Pathfinder is tempting.
I love it
Why they don't use the NH38. If they are not going to use the date complication?
The logo is nice doesn’t stand out, also surprised that it’s an automatic
Man...that's a sweet design! I'm moving away from disposable movements, so the Seiko NH3x series, while solid and a workhorse, won't be a target any longer. Otherwise, way SOLID!
It's not a disposable movement,only a jackass would call it disposable,if you want a disposable get a quartz, mechanical movements are only disposable to watch snobs
@@deanwaller8283 name calling? Clearly you know your jackass. Also, if it's cheaper to replace the whole movement than repair it.... Disposable.
Wish they'd release this with a slimmer case with an ETA or Sellita inside. I agree that, for a watch to become a long-term companion, it needs to have a movement that is worth the money servicing. With an NH35, one would be inclined to swap them out, which takes away 'the soul' of the watch at each service bout.
I would say the watch ⌚roll is dark teal..
....."freak out" at any watch under 40MM. hell, I gag at any watch over 39 (unless of course i'm out on the town in my clown suit).
damn,I don't into micro brands but this watch is a beauty!
"I don't know what Christmas is like...". 😂
"but I can pretend" 😂
Very nice. I'd wear one.
My kind of watches . Awesome . I have very hairy forearms so I only wear soft silicone or leather straps . I have 7" wrists and 40 mm is perfect for me . I don't like the logo , I prefer the Axios name on it .I'd buy one but I already own a Reise .
Christmas is like Hanukkah but 1/8th as long wouldn't recommend
