I think the Cestrian field watch is the best value automatic field watch period. All field watches look somewhat similar, but Cestrian has done enough to make it their own. And I love the engineer style bracelet. Very IWC. And I like the improvements on their GADA and Diver watches also. Great review as always. Good luck to everyone, and watch out for those jackass scammers!
@@johnswatchjoint Why thank you very much Sir. FYI, I just went ahead and ordered the gray dial last night. I have a feeling they are going to sell out pretty soon. So with that said, if by chance, I win the watch, please draw it again and give it to the next person. Thanks!
Wasn't aware of the cestrian brand untill I saw this! Great review, for the money, love the brand, love that they actually make physical name plates for the branding instead of just printed. Especially for the price.
These are great options in the sub-$200 price category - it seems they're really going after the enthusiast market by listening to feedback and creating watches that have all the features we want at very competitive prices. Well done Cestrian!
Nice one, I have just received an ali express parcel from Corgeut containing a watch i ordered with a custom dial for my daughters boyfriends 25th birthday. It will be his first mechanical watch,. I am seriously impressed with it. Thanks for the time you put into your films Ed.
The field watch in black is the best choice. I would buy the diver in the green, but I cannot pull off a 42mm watch. I wish more green dial divers had orange accents. The dress watch has a wonderful dial, I wouldngo for the blue. The all brushed links are a big plus over any polished surfaces. I enjoyed seeing these watches on those wooden stands. The lighting in this video was great. Love your content, John.
Firstly, thanks for reviewing these Cestrian Watches as I have had my eye on them for a while now and it's good to them "in the flesh" so to speak. The Field version would be my watch of choice since I prefer numerals but to be frank, they are all very nice and at an excellent price!
Hi John, well done for the review and well done for making up my mind about my hubby's Christmas Present! What great looking watches and at excellent prices!
Hi John, as a Cestrian myself (born and bred in Chester), I came across your previous Cestrian video and checked them out. As it happens, the version 2 dive and master were out, so I bought one of each, plus the field. It's great to hear you still find them vfm, as I am chuffed with them. Now my son wants one! 😅
I like the green too. Gives a vintage old of a petunia old black version. All versions look great however I think I’d prefer them on a strap rather than a bracelet. 👍🏻
Very cool watch! I love watch making videos and the like. I'm going to try my hand at watch repair. We will see where it goes. Good luck to you and your channel mate!
Cestrian... huh. I'd never heard of them. Thank you for showing me something new and something very very good. I'm excited about the field and especially the master series. These are impressive for the price. Again... thanks JWJ.
Have seen couple of videos of Cestrian watches. I like master and field series, the giveaway black field is very nice. Also appreciate your channel. You do great reviews.
Been enjoying the channel a lot!. Good reviews of affordable watches. As an engineer I'm always interested to see companies working to give great quality and functionality at a reasonable price point. Glad to see Cestrian going from strength to strength, and hope to see you pass 10k subs in the near future. good luck!
I love the brand name, I Love the field watch face. My favourite is the Champagne dial on the Master. The Dive watch I would love to see in the orange face, the hands are awesome. Great reviews John!
Great set of watches there and great reviews. I took delivery of my Dive Series 2 last weekend and love it off the back of your review for the series 1. Keep up the good work.
Great thorough review of the whole range. The specs/value ratio is excellent, some of the steel finishing didn't look up to AliExpress standards, but having a decent warranty from a UK company more than compensates. I like the field design best, mainly because of the hand design, so I would love to win your prize!
Thanks for the review! I was looking forward to see the field watch. Though I don't like the orange accent especially in the black one. I prefer it it has a red accent. Still contemplating if this would be a deal breaker for me.
Just received my green field series and am really impressed. I had been looking for a solid field watch and this ticks all the boxes. Still love my Lorus lumibrite (having added a domed sapphire crystal) but this Cestrian really looks great. Looking forward to getting it out in the wild!
The gold one looks rather nice - green model for the more military/field watch look of course. Black field is really nice! If I dont win it may be a future purchase!
Very kind of you John to offer this up. It’s a fine looking field watch. I’m really looking forward to seeing what cestrian continue to come up with. I know they aren’t releasing designs that break the mould exactly, but they seem to be quite prolific
I like the story behind the name. And these are very pretty watches for the price. I dont like engineer bracelets - i find then gratuitously heavy. However, the vintage styled case is amazing. A lovely set of watches all around. Cheers from Boston
Thank you for this review. The Cestrian Field Series certainly looks the goods for the price. What is the strap on the green one at 20:30? It looks great!
The watches you choose to review are very realistic for me to obtain. I truly enjoy your videos. I wish you great success and look forward to many more videos
It’s the little details that I always get drawn on that make me pick a watch. Sometimes as simple as the orange paint dip on the seconds hand and then following up will part of the text in the same colour. Love that small detail.
I had not heard of Cestrian before clicking on this video -- Not a huge fan of their diver, but I really do like that new field and master series watch. Good luck everyone and thanks for running this giveaway!
Great review John, thanks for showing the improvements that Cestrian have made to their V2’s.. and the new field watch .. looks great.. my choice .. like yours would be the green dial .. 👍🏻.
It is a lovely place. Only been once to pick up a new car for my wife. When you come out of the train station there are some stunning period buildings.
These are nice watches with good specifications. There is not much to complain about at this price point. Except for the polished sides on the field watch and the diver. I'd like to see them brushed.
Hi John. They all look good. I nearly bought a master series a few months ago. The improvements make me more likely to buy one now. The blue version I think.
One of each would be a fantastic three watch collection on a sub £500 budget. I’d go for the white dial master series, blue diver and the black field watch. So if I win the field watch I’d only have to buy two from Cestrian. Cheers John!
It looks like a strap monster so it would be great if the bracelet had a quick release mechanism or at least drilled lugs then I could switch it out if I wanted to dress it up or down with a different strap
Thanks for these updates. I have an all green Series 1 Diver and a Grey Master Series 1. They are superb watches and are brilliant value, I hope that Cestrian go from strength to strength!!!
What they are doing, that's really impressive! It's great for the price, and certainly a way better warranty than AE. Unfortunately, I guess the prices are not that good outside of UK. As usual, a great review! You're doing a fantastic job, John 👍
It's good to know that there's a new brand to keep an eye on, at this price point I can see them having quite a good market. Thanks for the review and the giveaway, good luck everyone!
A nice collection of watches. I rather like the master out of those three but I'd be happy with any of them to be honest. My sister lives in Chester so I suppose she must be a Cestrian.
Great job with your review. I do like the green one as well, but kind of black dial guy myself usually. So, if I was lucky enough to win, it’d be the bee’s knees. Very generous of you to do the giveaway out of your pocket. Best of luck to everyone 👍
Great job by Cestrian! The numerals on the Field series are executed well without any major QC issues and its overall look is attractive. A good daily option!
That is an almost perfect field watch! I dont mind the clasp, its comfy and looks good. I love the way they did the logo as well. Good for them for making improvements, i see this brand has a great future and i would love to be a part of it. The diver answers all the specs but i wish they will do something unique to them. Not crazy but different. So that if you look at it in a glance you will know thats a Cestrian! Its too sub like homage imo. Im sorry i dont mean to disrespect you guys at cestrian. But that master series is something else! I've never wanted a champagne dial until now. Those are great watches, the field and the master are way above the price and designed and executed soo well! That was an awesome video! Love to see more brands like this.. 😍
I think the Cestrian field watch is the best value automatic field watch period. All field watches look somewhat similar, but Cestrian has done enough to make it their own. And I love the engineer style bracelet. Very IWC. And I like the improvements on their GADA and Diver watches also. Great review as always.

The voice of reason. Thanks my friend ☺️

If it were to happen I would honour that request. You are a gentleman :)
Wasn't aware of the cestrian brand untill I saw this! Great review, for the money, love the brand, love that they actually make physical name plates for the branding instead of just printed. Especially for the price.

Well said sir !
The black version which are accented by tints of orange makes for visual eye-candy! I love that!
Cheers John. They really do look like they are listening to feedback. I would love any of those models.
Great value for the money. I'm becoming a huge fan of field watches because of their simplicity. Might have to add one of these to my collection.
Nice one,
I have just received an ali express parcel from Corgeut containing a watch i ordered with a custom dial for my daughters boyfriends 25th birthday. It will be his first mechanical watch,.

Great video! I absolutely love the looks of the field watch, and thanks for introduce this brand!
Incredibly generous of you to give this great looking watch away. Not a brand I've ever looked at before but seem to be great value for the price.
I love that they listen to the consumers like few do. I like them all. 👍
That field watch is very nice.Always appreciate your thorough no nonsense reviews.Keep up the great work.
Thanks, will do!
Hi John, well done for the review and well done for making up my mind about my hubby's Christmas Present! What great looking watches and at excellent prices!
Hi Diana. What a great pressie. Thanks for watching :)
Centrism field watch is fantastic - i particularly like the black dial. Thanks for the review
Great budget field watch. Seiko automatic movement and styling is excellent. The polished bezel adds some nice flare to the watch case.
Cracking looking field watch. Very generous of you to do a giveaway
A nice line up from Cestrian watches and once again John a very informative video.......mmmm I do have a spare cushion in my watch box 😍
...you know you do....that other watch box is on the way....;)

Awesome, thank you!
Love the proportions of all the numbers on the dial on this one. Sharp watch!
It just has it, doesn't it?
I like all these Celestrian watches.
I think their logo is simple yet recognisable and not too fancy.
Looks nice. There’s so many interesting field watch options, aren’t there?
I like the green too. Gives a vintage old of a petunia old black version. All versions look great however I think I’d prefer them on a strap rather than a bracelet. 👍🏻
I bought the champagne one for a dress watch and like it, have to say the field and diver also look compelling..good review, thanks
Nice one!
Very cool watch! I love watch making videos and the like. I'm going to try my hand at watch repair. We will see where it goes. Good luck to you and your channel mate!
Thank you and good luck with your hobby. The chap who introduced me to Cestrian is also a watch tinkerer ;)
Cestrian... huh. I'd never heard of them. Thank you for showing me something new and something very very good. I'm excited about the field and especially the master series. These are impressive for the price. Again... thanks JWJ.
No problem. They are doing good things at this price :)
I'm new here and just started to be interested in watches. I'm learning to appreciate watches, thanks to you, John!
Welcome aboard and glad you are enjoying the content ;)
The Cestrian field watch is marvellously great looking and with amazing features! Great review John!
Thx Vince :)
Have seen couple of videos of Cestrian watches. I like master and field series, the giveaway black field is very nice. Also appreciate your channel. You do great reviews.
Thank you. Make sure you subscribe... the algorithm has decided to drop me over this last few weeks. It has been brutal!

Great to hear!
Great video as always! A very stunning timepiece! Thank you for your generosity!
My pleasure!
Thank you for this great review. I was not familiar with this brand and I love their watches. Seems like excellent value for money!
A lot of value and they look cool too !
Great thorough review of the whole range.

I like the field design best, mainly because of the hand design, so I would love to win your prize!
Duly noted sir 😉
Nice Another informing review the field watch does have a Seiko look I like the case and bracelet gives off a 70s+80s vibe.
I thought so too. Fingers crossed 🤞
Thanks for the review! I was looking forward to see the field watch. Though I don't like the orange accent especially in the black one. I prefer it it has a red accent. Still contemplating if this would be a deal breaker for me.
Just received my green field series and am really impressed. I had been looking for a solid field watch and this ticks all the boxes. Still love my Lorus lumibrite (having added a domed sapphire crystal) but this Cestrian really looks great. Looking forward to getting it out in the wild!
Glad you enjoy it!
Quick turn around for the version 2, wonder if they are planning a version 3, appear to be excellent value for money, thank you for the update 👍
The gold one looks rather nice - green model for the more military/field watch look of course. Black field is really nice! If I dont win it may be a future purchase!

I very really wanna this watch, we dont have this brand here in Brazil! Good review, John, congrats.
Cool, thanks!

Thanks for looking in :)
Thank you for this review. The Cestrian Field Series certainly looks the goods for the price. What is the strap on the green one at 20:30? It looks great!
It's a soft woven nylon from a company I found on Etsy. They are called Wrist Envy :)
Simple brilliance. Thanks for the opportunity to win this gem.
Thanks for the beautiful review. You are always the first one, who is testing my favorite watchbrand.
My pleasure!
Fantastic line if watches! Thank you for sharing John, and thank you for your generous giveaway. Good luck to everyone.
Hi Felo. Really enjoyed this one. Good luck .
Looks like great value for the money watches
Count me in for the giveaway
As always John, a very in depth and enjoyable review. Cestrian really do offer a lot of value for the money.
Thanks Damian. It was long but the pace kept it light I think.
The watches you choose to review are very realistic for me to obtain. I truly enjoy your videos. I wish you great success and look forward to many more videos
Thank you Doug. Really appreciate comments like that and I am glad my content gives you enjoyment :)
It’s the little details that I always get drawn on that make me pick a watch. Sometimes as simple as the orange paint dip on the seconds hand and then following up will part of the text in the same colour. Love that small detail.
Thanks for the giveaway of this Cestrian watch. Black dials will always be the most classic!
Very cool little field watch! Been keeping an eye out for something like this for my father. Maybe this is the one!
It would be a cool pressie!
Great video! I've had my eye on the Master series for a while. I'm glad I waited for V2. Looks like I'll have to get the field watch, too.
Haha...and down the rabbit hole you go...;)
Love these watches! I get milgauss vibes from that first watch you showed…gonna go and dive deeper
Glad you like them!
I had not heard of Cestrian before clicking on this video -- Not a huge fan of their diver, but I really do like that new field and master series watch. Good luck everyone and thanks for running this giveaway!
Best of luck my friend
Great review, I have been following them for a while. The field watch looks really good!
It really is!
Great reviews. The champagne master serie is so classy
These seem cracking value for money. I've got my eyes on that dive series in orange. Great video John and thanks for the giveaway!
:)
That champagne Master Series V2 looks gorgeous. It'll soon find its way to Southern France. Thanks for another great video.
That's a lot of watch for the money. Cheers John.
All nice watches and look made well with attention to detail. Thanks for the giveaway gesture.
Good luck!
These are very good value. Buy all three and you have a complete and affordable collection for any event. The good WR is a real benefit too. Nice one!
Well said!
Great review John, thanks for showing the improvements that Cestrian have made to their V2’s.. and the new field watch .. looks great.. my choice .. like yours would be the green dial .. 👍🏻.
Great choice Roger. Thanks for watching :)
Nice looking watch at a fair price and Chester is a lovely place to visit. Good review as usual 👍
It is a lovely place. Only been once to pick up a new car for my wife. When you come out of the train station there are some stunning period buildings.
These are nice watches with good specifications. There is not much to complain about at this price point. Except for the polished sides on the field watch and the diver. I'd like to see them brushed.
I'm with you on that.
Hi John. They all look good. I nearly bought a master series a few months ago. The improvements make me more likely to buy one now. The blue version I think.
Nice 👍
Thanks for the opportunity to win that gorgeous looking field watch!
Thanks for exposing me to the brand. Always find your uploads interesting, informative and well done.
Glad you like them!
Thanks for the review John, Cestrian really are uping their game with these three watches.
I'd love to win the black field watch 🤞🤞. Cheers Noel
One of each would be a fantastic three watch collection on a sub £500 budget. I’d go for the white dial master series, blue diver and the black field watch. So if I win the field watch I’d only have to buy two from Cestrian. Cheers John!
Sounds like a good excuse to say you got a 33% discount when you explain your purchase tee hee ;)
It looks like a strap monster so it would be great if the bracelet had a quick release mechanism or at least drilled lugs then I could switch it out if I wanted to dress it up or down with a different strap
Thanks for these updates. I have an all green Series 1 Diver and a Grey Master Series 1. They are superb watches and are brilliant value, I hope that Cestrian go from strength to strength!!!
Totally agree
What they are doing, that's really impressive! It's great for the price, and certainly a way better warranty than AE.
Unfortunately, I guess the prices are not that good outside of UK.
As usual, a great review! You're doing a fantastic job, John 👍
Thank you my friend 😊
Been looking at cestrian for a while now.Great value.Very hard to pick one because want them all!
Ya know wotcha gotta do! 😆
Terrific value! Thanks for the great review and generosity.
Glad it was helpful!
Always interesting to watch your videos mate! Keep on the good work! ...would love to win this watch! Have an amazing day!
Thanks, you too!
Awesome introduction to Cestrian, now they're definitely on my radar! More so if they continue to listen to improvements by their community. 🙌🏼
I hope so!
It's good to know that there's a new brand to keep an eye on, at this price point I can see them having quite a good market. Thanks for the review and the giveaway, good luck everyone!
Fingers crossed!
Field Watch does look good as do the others, brushed case backs would be better though.
Great review, worthy of watching again in fact.
Cheers Jon :)
A nice collection of watches. I rather like the master out of those three but I'd be happy with any of them to be honest. My sister lives in Chester so I suppose she must be a Cestrian.
...though if you called her that she would probably thump you...tread carefully buddy 😆
I have never had Cestrian watch but that one with champagne dial is a beauty
Nice reviews!! Enjoyed your video and sincere commentary...hope you achieve a lot of success!
Thank you so much Allen ☺️
Great video John 👍🏻 I have the V1 Diver, great watch. Very temped with the field watch 👍🏻 subbed
Awesome, thank you!
Great job with your review. I do like the green one as well, but kind of black dial guy myself usually. So, if I was lucky enough to win, it’d be the bee’s knees. Very generous of you to do the giveaway out of your pocket. Best of luck to everyone 👍
Thanks and fingers crossed 🤞
Nice watches, great reviews. Thanks for the giveaway!
The field watch looks really nice and uk grown too!
The Champagne Master Series V2 is the every day watch that I'm planning to add to my GADA watch collection.
It would be the stand out. The dial is stunning in the flesh as it were.
Great job by Cestrian! The numerals on the Field series are executed well without any major QC issues and its overall look is attractive. A good daily option!
Thanks Paul. I totally agree 👍
I can definitely see myself buying one or two British watches in the future!
Pretty nice looking watch, John! Great review as always buddy!
Thanks for your support. I need it as my views are tumbling. Bloody algorithm!
@@johnswatchjoint I wish I was able to give you some advice to help, but I'm clueless when it comes to that stuff!
Great looking watches. Thanks for your efforts!
Glad you like them!
Army Disposals Store Green, with orange, a great combo, John!
Hi Bensy. I must admit I am a sucker for those colours :)
I really like the look of the field series, what great looking watches!
Impressive watches at a great price.
Sweet giveaway...I'll keep my fingers crossed 🤞
That is an almost perfect field watch!
I dont mind the clasp, its comfy and looks good. I love the way they did the logo as well. Good for them for making improvements, i see this brand has a great future and i would love to be a part of it.
The diver answers all the specs but i wish they will do something unique to them. Not crazy but different. So that if you look at it in a glance you will know thats a Cestrian!
Its too sub like homage imo. Im sorry i dont mean to disrespect you guys at cestrian.
But that master series is something else! I've never wanted a champagne dial until now. Those are great watches, the field and the master are way above the price and designed and executed soo well!
That was an awesome video! Love to see more brands like this.. 😍
Thank you for your measured comments. Really appreciate that...as will Cestrian :)
Cracking looking watches John. The new field watch is great
