Enjoy seeing Adam and Michael Stevens together? Watch Adam Savage's One Day Builds: Vsauce Glasses Hack! th-cam.com/video/M4M3I0nXEMI/w-d-xo.html
Yes, they make a nice couple :D
You can tell they know shit about watches lol. Nothing.
Thought about doing a podcast? There's Chemistry there and it's very entertaining to listen to them together.
@Adam I'd love to see tested if a 30-30 caliber rifle would've chain fired from pointed end ammunition.
Tyler Peacock there too guys from the outside looking in and appreciating the hobby....nothing wrong with that there not selling us anything like 90% of youtubers....chill out snob
Careful Tested. You almost showed a close up of the watches they are talking about. Wouldn't want to see that. :/
machzel08 lol
Such a fucking trifling loser of a channel
So true
I consider 5:10 to be a close up. Among other moments during the video
@@moslimislam5714 sure, it's a close up but not close and steady enough to see the details of the dial. That said, there are good shots in the video.
This video needs more comments about how this video needs more close-ups.
jarv y
This video needs more comments about needing more comments about needing more close ups
Can we get a close up on the comment at least?
These comments need more videos about the comments needing more close ups
this is not a macro porn channel.
I love this. These guys are perfectly showing what passion and watch collecting should be! Its not the brand, not the pricetag, its the enjoyment you get from your timepeace! Thank you for sharing!
Isn't that what every single hobby is about?
The Earth is Flat and Globalism is Done. Hyperborea may exist at Magnetic North directly under Polaris. If we stay here we die. We have nothing to lose.
These two know everything in the world, except watches.
SuperPussyFinger he knows everything about watches
Ferien7 who does?!😂
They definitely know more about them than the average person
@Cw Sayre I would actually say by a lot. Most people really have no idea where to even start. That's how MVMT and D.W. came into existence. (those are social media marketing companies not watch companies)
@Cw Sayre Yeah I definitely understand where you're coming from, and I second your sentiments.
Adam: "hold on, I have to hold it up to my hearing aid"
Me: Weeping because Adam Savage is mortal
It's not because of age though, he has a congenital condition.
so.... there's still hope that he may live forever.
iiSmashBro222 He'll probably build something that will allow him to do that
iiSmashBro222 same
Wasn't there an episode of Curiosity on Discovery were Adam was immortal?
Cameraman definitely not a watch guy. Hardly any detail close ups.
Efreeti yeah how annoying.
It's Norm
what a loser!I bet if they were talking about german optics he'd be all over that.
the problem is even if they gave close ups and detailed one's at that, they would be hard (nigh on impossible) to replicate. anywho, good luck and cheers on replicating any of the finer mechanisms they did allude to or show
AWC ( A Watch Collector) is in fact the "Modifier". Her name is Crystal Gormsen and does great work.
I love how Adam is always so enthusiastic about everything. He really is the polar opposite of Jamie XD
The Earth is Flat and Globalism is Done. Hyperborea may exist at Magnetic North directly under Polaris. If we stay here we die. We have nothing to lose.
No close ups? Sh*t
They're not watch guys. Guaranteed.
I agree
Tyler Peacock they didn’t film the video nerd. Blame the cameraman
in my head: "oh oh let me see.. can I see? Oh show a close up of that"
0:15
Michael: "But what is actually rude?"
*vsauce music playing*
I think Adam is the true watch enthusiast, notice how carefully he put down his Seamaster
Oh totally! I aspire to own a seamaster not only because I’m a watch enthusiast, but because Adam savage wears one and he’s one of the coolest people on the planet!
Oh yeah, thanks for showing the audience the watches.... holy shit.
Jenna it’s a 15 minute video about watches but there’s not a single decent shot where we can see the watches and what they are referring to
My thoughts exactly.
It's not like we wanted to see that 1930's Omega or anything...
Close up shots you douchebags!
and also that conversation at the end, i would like to hear it, but they edited it like "oh those nerds!"
Need more macro B-Roll to show the watches =)
I am genuinely shocked they didn't film close-up shots of the watches. Why did they miss that?
Seriously! Come on tested! Macrooooooo
Yeah, this is like, basic videography.
I thought the same thing, but I get the impression this was pushed out as quickly as possible to meet a deadline of some sorts.
I stopped watching because it's frustrating as fuck not seeing what they are talking about and pointing at, sad panda.
I never thought in a million years I’d have more knowledge on something then these two.
I’m a collector
HAHA, I MUST AGREE TO THAT.
PURE CLASS! okay ciao!
I'm more of a mechanical person then a battery person but ja
same 😂
@@jtr159 not very chuffed about them not knowing to reset a chrono
Audience: "Hey...hey! I want to see, too!"
I could watch these two talk about anything for days.
Cody Bond But, how long can you watch them talk about.....watches?
Kenneth FPS very
This video makes me want to wear a watch... and then instinctively check the time on my phone anyway.
as soon as you wear one daily, you will stop using your phone for time :) I even find myself looking down to my wrist when i'm not wearing one
Wearing a watch is RAD, even if you have a phone. It's nice to have something mechanical. Also, since Orlando is called "the City Beautiful" I though you may have been an Orlando channel, but what I found was WAY COOLER. Many props, dude!
i wear a watch pretty much every day.. and i always check my phone.. its a bad habit and i dont like it..
I concur with this. The BEST side-effect of wearing a watch is I don't look at my phone NEARLY as much, which means I don't find as many reasons to waste time messing around with my phone.
In 2017 a wearing a watch saves time by not having to unlock your phone or waste battery life.
"Sitting and watching Netflix"...on your honeymoon... Michael you sly dog 😂😂😂
The mystery of the bezel markings explained: When you go on a dive you align the pip of the bezel with the minute hand and the makings on the bezel tell you how much time has elapsed, since you started the dive. The red zone on the bezel usually between the pip and the 15 or 20 minute mark indicates the time you can safely dive below a certain depth without having to make decompression stops. The air from a scuba tank is at higher pressure than the surrounding environment, so that you are still able to breathe with a large body of water pressing on you from all sides. When you resurface too quickly the added pressure can lead to a build up of gas bubbles in your bloodstream which can cause decompression sickness and even lethal embolisms. The longer you stay at greater depth the higher the risk for DCS occuring. 15 - 20 minutes is seen as the safe limit you can stay at depth. Any longer and you have to make decompression stops on your way up .That is also why the bezels of ISO certified dive watches only rotate counterclockwise, so if you knock it out of its set position by accident it will give you a shorter time readout, better safe than sorry.
great information! I always wondered why the bezel didnt act as a dive timer, and why the red zone wasnt at the end of the timer
An idea for a future video:
Take b-roll footage close up, so viewers can follow the details discussed in the video 👍
Man i echo your sentiments.
It's this watch... awcpanama.com/product/awc-seiko-skx007-planet-ocean-nh36a-movement/
Thank you! Was going to comment the exact same thing.. would love to get some nice detail shots of the watches while they're discussing them. Please do next time!
It's cool seeing Adam and Michael enthusiastic about watches. It's just weird that the camera didn't zoom in on the watches as they discussed specific details and they didn't film some shots of just the watches so we can see what they're talking about. The editor could have at least added some pictures pulled off the internet to make it seem more complete. I mean I guess it doesn't matter that much but it would make future videos more enjoyable to watch.
4:46 dude needs to be more careful handling another man's watch.
As heisenberg once said, "your god damn right"!
I noticed that. Damn could he put it down any harder
Absolutely! I even paused it at almost the same time to comment the same thing.
don't think he knows how expensive that Omega is compared to his quartz watches lol
Adam noticed too, he picked it back up and moved it further away from him and gently placed it back down and he looked at it and in his mind you know he was like “are you okay baby? Did he hurt you?”
"What'cha watchin?"
"Watching watchers watch watches."
"Wat?"
Watch did I just read
Hehe, nice word play
Adam and Michael wear the exact same wedding ring. I don't want to say they got married, but they totally did.
i noticed it to and even paused it and compare it and its the same, only adams is a little bit worn.
They're married to science!
*SCIENCE!*
It's hard to not have the 'same' wedding ring as another person, since they're traditionally, you know...
Just gold bands.
That could be the start of an Oscar nominated love story.
The fact that these guys are watch geeks without being snob about it makes me like them even more!
They aren't watch geeks, they know nothing about watches, hence the bald guy not knowing how to use a chronograph and chucking an Omega on the table.
Michael didnt seem like a fan of quartz tho..
@@JY-ev5ms if you’re seriously going to cry about an omega being tossed onto a table maybe this hobby isn’t for you, watches are meant to be worn and they take damage regardless
@Jake If it was his own watch nobody would bat an eye. It’s a respect thing.
@Jake I disagree. I know my watches can take a beatinh but I value them enough not to throw them around
Tries on Adam's omega planet ocean and then promptly chicks it onto the table. Made me wince
daniel wiles it’s. it that it can’t handle it, it’s the carelessness and lack of respect.
@daniel wiles existing in a gravity free environment is not proof that a watch will survive being chucked onto a hard surface.
Shane Fu watches are made to be worn. Relaxe...
Excellent foreshadowing when he says "actually I'm just rude all the time"
@daniel wiles The omega seamaster professional planet ocean is worth about $5,750. The way that Michael tossed it on the table made me cringe as well not because I'm worried about the watch breaking, but because of its incredible price tag.
I had the calculator watch! I got it when it first came out. I was about 16 years old and I thought it was the most amazing piece of technology that man had ever created. You could set lots of alarms too and have names for the alarms. I would set alarms for things like, time for a snack, coffee alarm, nothing practical and my friends mocked me mercilessly. I don't know if it was jealousy or they all really did think it was that fricken awful. Meh, I loved it.
looked like my casio databank i got in high school. held phone numbers, schedules etc
that's the one David! I think they were incredibly ahead of their time. The smart watch that doesn't have its screen turn off because the battery can't power the watch properly. upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/f7/Casio_DATA_BANK_watch.jpg/1200px-Casio_DATA_BANK_watch.jpg that was mine. Solid Gold....paint.
I was mortified the day it died. I dropped it down the toilet if you can believe that's even possible by accident.
Clay Mann Yeah IRC you can even write notes, and I think people have done a software crack
I got a newer databank used and got recently the retro one new, i too think theyre one of the coolest things. Just need a few pieces fir the strap
I love vintage computer watches. I'm wearing a 1984 SEIKO DATA-2000 that I bought still in the box with everything in mint condition.
I could literally just sit and listen to these guys talk for hours. I kind of want a podcast where they just discuss things!
GOD I WOULD BEG! BEG THAT THERE BE A BRAINCANDY PODCAST!!
A watch guy didn't know how to reset a chronograph
Jackie N he's a true watch guy
I was thinking the same
His own watch ahahah
He didn’t know what the subdial was he just called it a circle
Jackie N You mean the watch his wife gave him lol
There is a newbie enthusiasm about this video I find quite charming. An eclectic collection is always most interesting. Thanks for making this!
I love all the closeups of the watches... -.- would have been the same if this was a radio show...
1:07 That "Wooow" sounds reaaally familiar
I love how when describing the reverse watch to Adam, Michael does it so that the audience sees the usual watchmode while Adam sees what is actually being described.
RELEASE THE UNCUT WATCH RAMBLING AT THE END!!
right
'Thanks for watching' - dammit Michael ;P
I really wish the team there was better about getting B-roll footage for segments like this. Especially when they're talking about something specific on the watch faces.
Michael would love the Richard Mille Crazy Hours. The hours go in incriments of 5. So, 8, 1, 6, 11, 4, 9, 2, 7, 12, 5, 10, 3, and then back to 8. Every time the minute hand goes back to the top of the hour, the hour hand jumps across the dial to the correct hour.
These guys have an awesome dynamic. They both have super interesting perceptions and they both tie their remarks into interesting stories. In their discourse they play off of each other nicely because they are polite and have an idea of what the other person's train of thought is.
The red zone on the bezel would have nothing to do with air consumption or air remaining, but with deco time and safety stops.
Heyyyyyy
Thanks for the info👍
Honestly, Adam geeks out over any object you can think of.
Simon Keenan green crayons
used Brazilian breast implants
sculptures of ozzy ozbourne made of hot melt glue
its hilarious how adam is just like that's beautiful and Michael is like LOOK AT THIS ONE!!
The way Michael handles Adam's Omega made me feel physical pain.
Great video! I was nerding out badly the second the watches came out. The second Adam brought out the SKX009 and mention the modding community, I was like “that’s me!” I just started modding my SKX007K1. Totally love this guys! Great content!
What a wonderful and enjoyable video. I was recommended this by a member of the Gentry, instantly subscribed!
Great stuff and thank you for sharing, LOVE the watches too!!! PURE CLASS.
Best regards,
TGV
@ The Urban Gentry I was looking for this comment! Hello, Tristano! I hope you are well?
TGV and Tested, watches and making - I always like when two of my worlds collide on the internet. Cheers TGV. Wrist check for today?
Mad For it cool story
Mad For it
YEAH SCREW PEOPLE WITH DIFFERENT OPINIONS THAN ME!
Very well thank you :D How are you Joshua?
The numbers on the bezel is for the time that you have been under water has nothing to do with air left. Since everyone breathes different. :) love the watches though!!!
It should have been obvious to them since the numbers count up instead of down. Also, if they actually tried using it for timing something then they would have known for sure. Seem like they're just fashion accessories for them instead of something with both form and function.
www.watchtime.com/blog/dive-watch-wednesday-the-basics-of-the-rotating-divers-watch-bezel/
nyjeterss actually, the numbers tell how much time remaining until a zombie apocalypse
Not a watch guy's watch video
almochstef no, certainly not.
Try not to gatekeep. Let people enjoy things. Even if they don't know as much as you do.
Yeah..I'm like wtf am I watching.. i rather watch a mvmt ad than this holy crap this vid was horrible lololol
I mean they are most certainly not THE watch people. For them it must be like a secondary, or even tertiary interest.
If anything I'm more surprised there are enough big watch geeks these dayts to flood the comment section here.
acs197 critiquing this video isn’t about being snooty or a gatekeeper. It’s just not a video that is what it claims to be. Geeking out over watches necessitates some level or watch geek-ness. Claiming to be a “real watch guy” requires you to know at least the basics of watches, like how the Vostok chrono he is wearing keeps track of time. I love Adam but this video was a fail from that perspective.
Nice video about watches but no close up camera work.. terrible
This needs a lot more and better close-ups of the watches.
Eh. I don't think he's a "big watch guy." He called a sub-dial a "little circle."
Abv21 06 hahah noticed that too
Abv21 06 yea, I think he’s just s guy who likes watches but isn’t a WIS.
You don't have to be an expert to like watches
and he didnt know how the stop and reset works on a two pusher chrono lol
@@TimSKarlsson definitely didn't read manual
Today we get to see Adam Savage looking at watches...Without seeing the watches up close...
Kind of surprised Adam doesn't own a Speedmaster Pro - that's like the ultimate nerd watch!
He does.
Who says he don't.
jmcrofts i8
14:56 into his Mercury space suit video you see it.
MrTrill409 he said it's a replica iirc
Adam: Michael, Do you have preference of wrist band?
Michael: I.... I ask myself that same question everyday!
Is this an iDubbbz reference?
Cringeworthy! Lol
"I'm a big watch guy"... "I'm a big mechanism guy"... Doesn't know how to operate the chronograph on his wrist...
en0ughlready I don’t think he’s aware how deep watches go
That was embarrassing to watch
“I’m a big mechanism guy,” wears a quartz watch 😑
@@mollari2261 because it's a gift from his wife?
I don’t think they were claiming to be experts. Just fascinated by watches.
Omg, that "ahh" at 0:27 😂
So nice NOT seeing close-ups on the watches they're discussing.
yup
I like how Adam comes up with a clever idea of using his mic to capture the sound of the watch but completely forgets about the camera
Kinda ruined the video for me.
You really should’ve got some B roll footage of close-ups of the watches to insert in the video.
I got the seamaster as a gift from my dad when I turned 18, one of my favourite possessions
I like that neither of them are snobby when it comes to watches, they both like reasonably affordable watches as well as expensive watches (like Adams amazing omega!)
Nice to see a calculator watch on here, I’ve got a Casio CA53W-1 on right now, it’s the same watch Marty Mcfly wears.
I don't know why but there's just something so enjoyable about watching people talk about a hobby they're passionate and knowledgeable about.
I agree, but unfortunately they are not really that knowledgeable. I was so excited when I saw this pop up and left disappointed.
Adam Savage has a clue a bout world of watches, that Vsauce guy, let’s just say he’s better at story telling.
Yes, the mod parts are aftermarket. Edit: Seiko crystal is called Hardlex. And Michael and others need to check out vintage watches. Some of my favorites are 1930s - 1950s. Many US manufacturing in that timeframe. Cool to think about the stores those old watches could tell and it’s history on your wrist.
This video just draws you in. It was so natural, easy and complex at the same time.
PLEASE MAKE MORE VIDEOS BETWEEN THESE TWO
A few more close up shots of the watches would have been nice. Great video though!
Michael made me more confident in my own watches. I love his approach to collecting
The question is: when do we get to see some more timepieces out of the Savage collection, and when do we get a one day build of a watch carrying kit? :D
I was super hyped to see this video. Growing up watching mythbusters is one of the things that pushed me towards a career as a watchmaker. I'm in my 2nd semester of classes now. Thank you for everything you do!
A closer look of the watches would have been a nice touch 👌🏻
I never, ever thought Michael would be a watch guy. I’m over the moon.
The red component of the dial on the Seiko indicates time left at decompression zones and also how long you spend from under the water at the surface to the time you start coming back up (otherwise known at bottom time) not used for air left in the tank as this condition is based on your breathing regularity, experience and equipment.
Mum booked a family holiday to the US on the one week Brain Candy is coming to my city in Australia. Talk about conflicting emotions.
Where are your fingers?
on my hands, where are yours?!
Ask your mother. EYYOOO
but why do we have two nostrils?
Are you real?
the better question is: Is there any way i could possibly prove to you that i am?!
that seiko watch looks amazing so im getting one, thank you for making it easier to find a good watch!
I love this. These are two people who are learning about this hobby, and are unvarnished in their lack of knowledge. Excellent.
Thanks for watching
I just love Michael and I love Adam. Combine them and you'll get pure joy.
OMG!!, this was 2 years ago???. I'm also geeking out !!! Love Seiko SKX's
I own a Seiko automatic timepiece and it’s very nice but recently I have been a little obsessed with the g shock community. On my Seiko automatic I typically lose about 10 seconds a week which to me is kind of annoying so I went out and sprung for a g shock watch that features atomic timekeeping and solar power. I am totally fascinated by atomic timekeeping and knowing that my watch is ticking in sync with the atomic clock in Fort Collins blows my mind.
Mythbusters, my favorite tv show.
Vsauce, my favorite youtube channel.
Both of them combined, perfection!
And sorry Tested, you come in second place :)
agreed, there should be more video with these two on tested
The first 10 seconds are already giving me a fangasm.
the duo of Adam Savage and Michal Stevens is like when the two smartest kids in class are put on the same team
Great stuff! :)
Love the two of you together. It's great!
Adam's face at the very end of the video says it all ^^
We need to get more people into horology
No, we don't.
Roach DoggJR stfu
No shame in that, we all have to make a living
That Omega tank might just need a bit of a service, it sounds like the oil is starting to gum up in the bearing jewels. I'd estimate a price around $600 for a complete run through. You could also opt for a restoration but that would exceed $2000.
I wouldn't go for a restoration. A service should suffice. Too often a restoration means over polishing the case and throwing a redial in, which will halve the value of the watch(at least).
Yeah, personally I love when you can see the patina. But others prefer the factory finish, watches usually carry more than a monetary value anyways.
Love the way the watch guy slaps that omega around like he has no idea what an omega is worth.
4:46 Damn, could he have thrown that any harder? That's an $8,200 watch, not his $100 Vostok
Don't mess with Vostok.
Daniel Pinto funny thing is I actually own both an Omega Speedmaster, and a Vostok Amphibia lol
2:30 the graphic of a scuba tank at 6 and 9 *lenny face
1:44 Sorry sir, this is a christian server so no swearing!
Vsauce 4 it's the first time I hear a no no word from Michael
shoot sounds a lot like shit sometimes so im guessing thats what he said
I'm pretty sure he said shoot.
He definitely said shoot. That's his thing.
He said "shoot"..
Did they forget they were recording? I'd quite like to actually see the watches
Thank you that's what I was thinking
I was excited to see “Brain Candy Live” is coming to the Paramount in Seattle April 2018, but I’m stumped as to why STG chose this video of Adam & Michael in a workshop talking about watches as their link for “Media” about the show.
Love the passion and the watches! You can always tell a watch enthusiast when they appreciate 200$ watches as much as they appreciate 4 thousand dollars watches!
Best Regards,
WCS
11:16 ... wow, Adam just got 35 years older in a second. Been watching him for soooo long you hardly notice
I was kind of bummed you shortened the video with that montage at the end. I could watch you two geek out over stuff all day.
The coolest watch straps are actually finely braided leather. They can be incredibly hard to find but if you can its totaly with it
Being a watch guy myself..this was painful to watch...although seeing a quartz komandirskie was cool
Too many shitters for me.
Right? Had no idea that Vostok had Quarts movements at all, this is a first for me!
@@gilzineto probably has a Seiko or Citizen cheap quartz movement.
@@bushkesh yes, and it's probably more expensive than the automatic komandirskies... that's a shame considering they have their own in doors movement
@@gilzineto in doors? 😂 You mean in-house movement.
"they are not that expensive" *looks it up at local price in another country* yes,they are not that expensive if you're warren buffett lol
I’ve seen a few videos of Adam with his seiko and I’d love to tell him it’s an SKX 009 because I’ve heard him call it everything but that.
Had a Seiko in the Navy, but someone thought they needed it more than me.
