Like it. Roamer has an interesting history, survived the quartz crisis. Ordered Nautic Chrono for 177 usd. on Ashford. Powered by Ronda 5030, sapphire glass and 100 m WR. And looks great. That´s what I call a good deal.
I like this watch, this wave dial pattern combined with the subtle fumé effect looks very cool. The two different colour accents red and orange don't match but they don't clash either. Fully agree about the polished middle links and the slightly big size.
Great review. Not many comment on crown size, but you did. Very helpful, good observations. I have a roamer searock, and the crown wobbles when out on that too. But it's ok.. for a Swiss watch it's good value at under £300.
That's no problem, glad you appreciated that insight and I wonder if its a common thing with Roamer then? I think some areas could be better, but it's still great for sure. Thanks
I have seen some vintage Roamer over here. They are well loved! I have never owned one but This seems nice! I like the brushed finish flares! That grey dial is very pretty!
They don't seem to be a popular brand here but looks like they might be trying to change that. Agree, the dial is lovely, just the colour mismatch bugs me. Thanks mate
@@WesWatchRoom They do have alot of competition though... As I understand it fashionable timepieces are worn way more in the UK than in SA. Plus that price would make it a hard sell in a place that has Lorus, Festina, Casio's and the like for cheaper than that...
Very nice watch Wes. Right about the different colours. I do like the yellow seconds hand against the grey so I'd have made Deep Sea 200m yellow too. I know it's Swiss, but I'd prefer a high beat movement though maybe it's only Seiko that makes them? Not sure. The Ronda is ok, but that's a very cheap movement in there, I've seen them for between $5 to $10 depending on quantity. Size wise it's ok on me I'd reckon. It's an attractive watch though.
I know mate, its a shame they didn't use something a little more premium than it, but its still a very solid movement with good spec. Thanks for watching
I do really like this one more of a "dress diver" I would definitely be introducing those centre links to Mr scotchbrite though 😅 & that butterfly clasp is really not in keeping. I'm also going to have a rant about those in an upcoming video. But I think overall a nice solid grab n go watch. 43mm hmmmm you need to eat more cake mate haha but seriously I think if they had gone for 41mm it would be a real winner.👍
Yes I do need more cake and chocolate but a 40/41 would have been perfect. I don't mind butterfly given the right watch but a diver is not that. Thanks for watching mate and yes scotchbrite is a must
Does it really misses the marks? Is it just rumors? Or is it Roamers? 😜 Btw, if someone is looking for a TAG and likes the "waved" pattern of Omega's dials, here is a great watch to have. As for quartz... TAG would be too! Thanks Wes, interesting review, not the "common suspects" again. Be well, cheers.
I really like it but not in this color. A bit too expensive, if i really wanted this watch, id definitely chase and wait for a deal despite a real nice warranty. Especially for a diver, for which the market is almost saturated with a huge offering at all prices points. Grey market or not, if you're searching for a diver in 2022, you'll find one you ike at your price or you're insanely picky. Fun fact, most Certina also display an 1888 year, both company founded the same year. Also, i sent you an email and re-reading the stupid title i gave it, i realize this one is sure to end up in the spam folder lol, sorry
I agree, the watchshop price is good but I'm sure it'll likely wind up reduced at some point down the line. Didn't know they were founded the same year as Certina, that is interesting. Wonder which came first? I haven't checked my email yet but I will do now. Thanks mate
I would not buy this watch at all, considering that I own a $50 Casio quartz (model MTP-1302D-1A2 , $36 on Amazon) that hits all of its markers spot on while also running -2 seconds after like 3-4 weeks of me buying it. This, for me, is a much better watch (even though it has a bad bracelet, can't complain since it costs $50 brand new) than the one in this video.
Hey guys, what do you think of the Roamer, do you think this is a good value Swiss made watch? Let me know and have a good one.
Very good value.. your not buying Chinese after all...

Me too, the dial is a highlight. As for the colours, they do work together, my ocd just likes things to match. Appreciate you watching
Very nice. I really like that dial. Thanks Wes.
Thanks mate, I like the dial too. Have a good one
Nice watch. I’ve accidentally dropped mine in a bucket of urine over 12 times and it still works perfectly.

@@johanvandersandt8904 true that mate and yeah the competition these days is pretty fierce at any price point.
@@WesWatchRoom Very true my friend.
Interesting design, definitely a good pickup under 300. Good job with the review mate!
Thank you mate and apart from a few upgrades needed, its a really good watch.

Definitely a good watch change the bracelet I'm ok with quartz movement dial looks great does it have fumé effect
Agree mate, could have done with a better bracelet and I like quartz too, but this one is very cheap sadly. Thanks for watching

Thanks for the comment mate, I always appreciate you put a lot of effort into them. Enjoy the rest of your weekend

I think it is just has a fair price.
Looks great to me.
That's probably the best description, not amazing but fair. Thanks
Also 7 years warranty? Damn!!! Makes my 5 year Citizen warranties look weak.
IKR, I was amazed when I saw that. Shows they have real faith in the product
@@WesWatchRoom Yeah!
Tell you what...wears better than I thought on a six inch wrist. All goes to show that dimensions are not everything:)
It does but its still too big unfortunately, Seiko are the best for making big wear small. Cheers
Hi, nice watch and good review.
Thank you kindly.
I would not buy this watch at all, considering that I own a $50 Casio quartz (model MTP-1302D-1A2 , $36 on Amazon) that hits all of its markers spot on while also running -2 seconds after like 3-4 weeks of me buying it. This, for me, is a much better watch (even though it has a bad bracelet, can't complain since it costs $50 brand new) than the one in this video.
Fair enough it's definitely not for everyone. Cheers
Shame it doesn't come in green.
Green would be a great call, especially with yellow accents. Thanks mate
Roamer is very good watch !
What about the lume?
What is your wrist size? 😊
$?
How was a terrible watch I bet it's even tells the time as well MOAN MOAN MOAN😂
Preis?
The price is towards the end of the video and also at the link in the description. Cheers
interesting review my friend....for me personally it's a no....less said the better to be honest....⌚🏴⌚🏴
Understand mate, its not for everyone. Appreciate you watching
Netpickin' as it's best. One of the worst reviews I've seen in years
Cool thanks
