Always watching ;) it came up as it realised I missed out Nixon and freestyle in my US digital overview and since that point I’ve been listening to beach boys on repeat!
@@IlluminatingWatches haha awesome!! Endless summer was a stunning movie and you're the first to spot that Dacos and they are as rare as rare things!! I had both freestyle and rip curl watches back in the day and both leaked 💦😅💦😅
Saw a big horn at the start of the video, thought I came across a rude site LOL, another amazing information video, love it!!! I would own a G-Lide and I don't surf, even though I live on the coast lol
Ha ha ha I’ll have you know that’s an important historical icon!! Cheers matey. Was chuffed with this one . I’ve never surfed ever and have like three of these types of watches!
Another awesome video 👏👏👏👏 There’s something so cool about surfing watches 🏄♂️ So many unconventional colourways and designs compared to more traditional watches.
Hi. Thank You for this marvelous video sir! Is there more technical video about waterproof techniques used in surf watch construction? Most of them are having plastic/composite cover and strap, so they should be ok only for few years as those materials will start to deteriorize from sun+salt+water because atoms are connected only with van der Valls bonding. (My gshock bezel broke apart while cleaning with toothbrush)
Wow what an in depth look into surf watches, I love the color schemes of the shark surf watches! Any chance of a history of US watch manufacturing video coming soon?
Thankyou - I’ve done electric watches and digital watches from US (especially Timex) but can definitely go broader! I’ve got a list of ideas I still want to do e.g. Enicar , India watches part II but I’ll do a poll to see what folks want next
Incredible video as usual, your research are always insanely good ! Thanks for this, that casio windsurfer has caught my eyes since some time, but it's kinda expensive saddly :/
Some fascinating history and important pieces here, as well as a plethora of horrible styling choices. 🤣 Just btw Animal collaborated with Sekonda and their very surfy dive watches (fabric n velcro, steel bezel, horrible colours) prop up on Russian Watch groups sometimes.
@@IlluminatingWatches It really is, and those original Casio Surftimers are becoming unaffordable. Nixon I've found is a bit of a gateway brand, younger people know the brand and it also sells, Timexy 70's peices.
Ha ha that proves you watched to the end! The duck watch looks fun and they made some good jokes on the website about being from Detroit and making a surf watch
HI , I LIKE HOW EVER THE INTRODUCING OF THE EVERY DIGITAL WATCHES IN YOUR CHANNEL AND ALL ABOUT THE WATCHES TO TROUGH DECADES . TIMEX - SEIKO - CASIO - CITIZEN...FOR ME ARE THE BEST WATCHES , AFTER AND MAYBE OF ROLEX - BULOVA - DUPONT - HERMANOS CUERVO ( Crow Brothers Spanish wrist watches ) ETC . THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR CHANNEL . EVER WAS ONE FINE WATCHES CHANNELS ; GRETTINS ILLUMINATINS WATCHES ! ! 🙋 👍☺
What a COOL topic! I own a cool flour. green Rip Curl and transparent Nixon digital watches. Went through a scifi-lookin surf watch phase few yrs ago hehe Amazing vid as usual!
Surf watches are one small part of the bigger digital watch tech tree - which I cover here -> th-cam.com/video/oiUIYDQOH8A/w-d-xo.html
Thanks so much for letting me know about the Freestyle Shark watch. I bought my first one immediately, love these colorful things!
Awesome! They are really fun. One of my more niche videos!!
Pretty rad video bruh🤙 your content is amazing, keep it up. Greetings from Colombia
Thankyou!! Makes me want to go surfing!
Very impressive video mate, you definitely deserve more subs with how much effort goes into these videos.
Thanks man! Do it for the love!
100% agreed !
@@thebaldwatchcollector much appreciated !!
Very professional video production with great pics and graphics. Never realised there's so many different cool surf watches 👍
Thanks man. I very nearly put a snail in there to check if you were watching ! 🐌
@@IlluminatingWatches haha! That's the way I think... are there any creepy crawlies?🕷🦗🐞🐝🐜🐛

Ah nice! Yes I hadn’t picked up much of tudors presence in this area, but makes sense!
Can't believe this good of content doesn't have more views
Far too kind :) I just enjoy making them . No expectations on massive views
Wow that's spooky i was checking out surf watches myself this weekend 😋😋😅😅

@@IlluminatingWatches I don't dive and have a divers 🤣 but to hell with it they look pretty
Awesome work on this video. forgot about the suffer style watches
Thanks man! Yes it’s a whole rabbit hole!
@@IlluminatingWatches definitely is 😆
Another awesome video 👏👏👏👏

I know right?! At first I thought this would be a super niche video but it quickly expanded in scope!!
I live about 600km inland, but that new(ish) G Lide is so very tempting! Great and informative video, thanks
Yeh I think they are nice! Thanks for taking a look at my video - really appreciated !

Thankyou! Not that I’ve seen but I would love to watch such a video. I’m not very technically minded , so not my strength !

@@IlluminatingWatches I'm watching that one now 😁, I'll be checking out the India watch video next. You're doing awesome work 😎
I think the Shark watch was the first to have the countdown timer. After that all sports watches included this feature.
Really? I didn’t know that !
Incredible video as usual, your research are always insanely good ! Thanks for this, that casio windsurfer has caught my eyes since some time, but it's kinda expensive saddly :/
Thankyou that’s really nice of you. Yes they are very rare and expensive in good condition!
Thank you
What no GWX-5600, GWX-5700 or GWX-8900? Solar, mb6, tide and moon.
Good catches! All good watches
Is it time to reconsider Nixon?As a brand? 🤔
I’ve actually never owned a Nixon. Been tempted a few times …. Will report back if I try one

Ha ha thanks for dropping by and watching. I loved making this video. Bigger niche than you would think - and some great styling choices ;)
