I love that even if I wouldn’t personally buy each watch that you review, I always get a good feel for what makes them special or different. Not always the case with reviews. Thanks for yet another awesome vid!
You make the watches you feature genuinely compelling. I take your opinion quite seriously because it’s logical and suits my taste to. Your videos are ‘for me’
You might just be the best watch channel on TH-cam. Production is high, selection is broad and the jokes are dryer than the Sahara. My kind of jokes! Keep it up man!
Seriously mate, you just have away about you that makes these reviews so very interesting to watch. Down to earth, no BS. Keep it up. Oh and the watch looks killer!
Finally, someone who also understands that while I might want a GMT hand, I may also want the 60 minute timing bezel. Its an amazing watch and I really have a hard time deciding between this and the Christopher Ward Aquitaine GMT. One has the looks, the other has the amazing technology. Also, great review dude. You are now my favorite watch reviewer, you get the specs out but also address the subjectivity of each piece.
A...ma...zing! I've said it before, and you can be damn sure I'll say it again... You reviews are out of this world. The puns, the camera work, the honestly and your views on things are just great! By the way since last time where I attempted to hijack your comment section, I've followed my heart and committed to ordering the Formex Thirtynine 👍
Another cracking review. I have a Formex Field in purple which I bought it because it was purple so thank the Lord that I saw it before I saw there Code 1159 in purple, otherwise it could have been a different story. Anyway, I had an issue with the winding mechanism after six months of ownership and rather than wait for them to repair it, Formex swapped the watch for a replacement which has been perfect since. Fantastic stealth brand with excellent customer retaining service.
You could review a spoon with a hole in it and I would still watch your review. Because you are funny and your reviews are entertaining. Thanks for doing this. Looking forward to the next ones.
The Vostok Amphibia is one of the few other watches with a quick removal bezel. I really enjoy the feature as I can switch colors/functions and it greatly improves the look of the watch. Im away from home for 4 months and having so many options helps when I dont have my collection with me.
I would very sad indeed. I know this because I get a "feeling" every time I see that your new video has dropped. It's always so exciting. I know I'm going to learn something new about this absurd hobby that I love, and I'll be entertained at the same time! Please don't ever stop. Think of the weirdo's like me.
I agree that the bezel might pop off too easily and could be lost. My Marathon Navigator’s bezel pops off with similar ease. Ive had it pop off by doing simple tasks like reaching into a shelf or loading/unloading my car. An interchangeable bezel is great for looks, bad for durability.
The production quality of your videos is so impressive man! Is this Pismo Beach off US 100? I always cherished whenever I got that route as a truck driver. Absolutely incredible views.
It's 42mm as you said it correctly but at the beginning of the video you wrote 40mm but it doesn't matter. The quality of your videos are great. I've been watching watch content on TH-cam for more than a year now, but everytime I came across a video from your channel just because of the name of the channel I thought this was a tech reviewing channel that sometimes reviews watches but I was so wrong, it's one of the best watch review channels and the content and quality are really good. I will be watching more of your content and I'm happy that I've found your channel. Keep up the good work.
0:51 Do you still wear your blue everest band with your batman GMT? In the past few months, whenever you've worn it, I've noticed that it's always on the bracelet. I'm considering purchasing one for my batman so that's why I ask. In the long run, am I just gonna end up going back to the bracelet?
Great video as always! Thank you. I’m amazed at just how much this watch delivers for the money. It makes you wonder just how much profit the bigger brands are making. It would be interesting to know whether materials used in the watch are on par with the bigger brands. Is there a metallurgist in the house? As it is the video is a real eye opener and almost a wallet opener!
I think Formex kills it lately with all their tech, Chronometer certified movements and extremely compelling prices. I already liked the Reef but actually bought the Reef GMT after your review when I noticed the perfect lug-to-lug size for my 6.5 inch wrist. Thanks... I guess? 🙈
Your continued ability to feed this unhealthy addictive hobby is impressive. Another great one, well done. Minor note: the on screen Watch specs shows 40mm instead of 42. Figured you would want to know. Apologies for putting this In the comments but I don’t know another way. Feel free to delete it. I won’t be hurt ( okay, maybe a little)
Mike, if you only knew how ridiculously long it takes TH-cam to upload 4k content. It takes several several hours just to decode and process and then another several hours to finally upload. So pretty much, half a day lol. But it totally hear ya man. 4k would be pretty awesome, may not be worth the trade off for some though.
hi I enjoy your channel a lot .. would this Formex stand with a Monta or Tudor? I am looking for a luxury sports everyday watch. My current stable includes a rolex sub, grand seiko sbgx261 and a bunch of seiko divers. Thanks for your feedback
Just met these folk at WindUp NYC. Superb convos, watches same. Purchased a 39 whatchamanamit. Love it- question is, what’s next from them to slap on my girl wrist
Have never even considered Formex. Until 2 minutes from now, when I finish writing this post, I hadn't even been to their website. Wonder why? Do the traditional watch "media" not cover them? Did I just miss that coverage? Am I a noob? No, I'm not a noob. Boob? Maybe. Noob? No. Anyway, color me interested. This is a unique and interesting offering. Thanks for sharing.
Amazing looking watch. At 42mm, it's too big for my personal taste (and skinny wrists) but as a proud owner of an Essence 39, I can certainly vouch for their quality and features that punch way above their price point and put other brands to shamd. If this comes in a 39/40mm variant, my wallet is not going to be happy with me
I'm buying one. This type of engineering at this price point for real Swiss made and real Swiss engineering is embarrassing to bigger brands. And I own Rolex, GS, Omega, TAG, Hermes & Sinn...
Evan, what a beauty. Formex seem to be a forward thinking brand. If I didn’t have a dozen or so dive watches already…. Problem? Weird… what… Me…? I gotta go, Mums calling… Can I borrow some money please mummy…😬
I don't know man.. nice looking watch all things considered, but the removable bezel is just a cheap trick to me. It's like selling a car with the option that you can pop out and change the windscreen on your own. Why would anyone do that?
Formex stands for form extreme, but the bezel popping of so easily doesn't reflect that in my opinion. Maybe keeping the design where it easily comes off but adding the additional small screws like Sinn does would give us the option to loosen the small screws and replace the bezel. The cost of a little extra time would be worth not paying $200 for a lost bezel.
Your production talent is just unreal, keep it up buddy.
Fax. ** makes modem sounds ***
I love that even if I wouldn’t personally buy each watch that you review, I always get a good feel for what makes them special or different. Not always the case with reviews. Thanks for yet another awesome vid!
Thanks so much.
Ever since Formex came up with their improved logo, they've really managed to stay on my radar. One of the cooler microbrands out there.
The Band of Brothers reference was not lost on me. Clever. As usual, terrific video and review!
You make the watches you feature genuinely compelling. I take your opinion quite seriously because it’s logical and suits my taste to. Your videos are ‘for me’

this is easily the best review of this watch that I've seen... well done
Seriously mate, you just have away about you that makes these reviews so very interesting to watch. Down to earth, no BS. Keep it up. Oh and the watch looks killer!
Great review! This watch is terrific value for money, both aesthetically and technically! Love your commentary, the humour is first rate! Well done!
Finally, someone who also understands that while I might want a GMT hand, I may also want the 60 minute timing bezel.

Stunning video! Always a pleasure to watch your work even if I may not be that interested in the watch you are reviewing! Please keep it up!
Thanks for the vid, always first rate! just a note: you state the case size as 42mm but list it as 40mm in text on screen.
You covered all of my concerns and questions so I will just thank you for the review. Thank you.
A...ma...zing!
I've said it before, and you can be damn sure I'll say it again... You reviews are out of this world. The puns, the camera work, the honestly and your views on things are just great!

Nice choice. You have good taste in TH-cam channels as well.
That was way better viewing than the Pelagos 39 marketing vids. Decent watch, too.

Looks like a cloudy English beach, didn’t realise they had those elsewhere. Cool watch, lots of features. Enjoyed the video as always 👍
This looks like an Oregon beach
@@robertjimenez1611 that's what i thought as well.
Great review!! Been eyeing these watches for a while and I really like in the mesh bracelet.
Oh, this is the first Formex I like. Thanks for the video.
The Vostok Amphibia is one of the few other watches with a quick removal bezel. I really enjoy the feature as I can switch colors/functions and it greatly improves the look of the watch. Im away from home for 4 months and having so many options helps when I dont have my collection with me.
Glad you got the gold one. I never would have considered it, but it looks great. Super visuals as usualEvan 🙌🏻
I would very sad indeed. I know this because I get a "feeling" every time I see that your new video has dropped.
It's always so exciting. I know I'm going to learn something new about this absurd hobby that I love, and I'll be entertained at the same time!
Please don't ever stop. Think of the weirdo's like me.
Funny name aside, I've always thought highly of Formex designs and build quality. The bezel quick change is just brilliant.
Wow! Awesome job! Didn't even know this watch existed! Thanks for sharing!
I saw these in person at Windup Watch Fair. Impressive and a cut above the rest, at a reasonable price. I wish more people would check them out.
I agree that the bezel might pop off too easily and could be lost. My Marathon Navigator’s bezel pops off with similar ease. Ive had it pop off by doing simple tasks like reaching into a shelf or loading/unloading my car. An interchangeable bezel is great for looks, bad for durability.
best review of the reef gmt out there! not only because you put the dive bezel on it :)
Finally a really tempting watch with swiss movement.
The production quality of your videos is so impressive man! Is this Pismo Beach off US 100? I always cherished whenever I got that route as a truck driver. Absolutely incredible views.
Lady with the apple watch walks in 😂
Seriously. We look so silly.
Never seen a watch with removable bezel. Pretty cool, but like you said I would be worried it would pop off if you hit it on anything. Nice video!
All rotating bezels are removable.
@@toddgaak422 not this easy to remove though
Different cinematography to your usual. As always brief honest review. 👍
5:15 Mind me asking what kind of jacket you’re wearing?
Looks great. I really like those applied indices.
Nice watch and smart adjust bracelet👍
Beautifully shot video!
Been hoping you'd make a Reef GMT video since it came out, this one's definitely on my short list!
I also prefer watching the movements over a boring flat caseback! I love it.
It's a safety feature known in the biz as a "breakaway bezel". It keeps corpses from piling up in the Swatch store doorway.
I know Nomos is not a "small" brand but i feel the same way when wearing my Nomos :p
some cracking innovation in a VFM package

Good catch I saw that too. I wonder if maybe the bezel is 40 but the wings on both sides makes it 42. Just a thought
Love your shacket (?)/ overshirt too! Really like this watch, great that it has microadjust on the fly- though I’d definitely lose a bezel I think
“For me” is unofficially trademarked here 👌🏼
Swapable bezels, so cool. Pretty nifty watch. Nice review.
I can stop anytime I want too! 😅

Mcfly?
Your best intro and outro till date.
Or it could be just the nature. :D
"I can stop anytime I want, you don't know me..." That's exactly how I feel about your videos 🤤
Haha. Thanks.

Wow... getting fancy with the intros... I like. And now expect.
Hi good review! what's your wrist size Please?
That is one stand out piece the way you have it on the mesh etc
How have I never seen your content before this
Subbed
That’s an awesome watch. Bang for buck.
I think Formex kills it lately with all their tech, Chronometer certified movements and extremely compelling prices. I already liked the Reef but actually bought the Reef GMT after your review when I noticed the perfect lug-to-lug size for my 6.5 inch wrist. Thanks... I guess? 🙈
I really like your colour combo on this model. Would be my choice definitely.

Shhhoooot. Sorry, everyone.
would love the switch to 4k please and thank you!

Ah, yes I track 3 time zones 😜 great review as always
U like the mesh or bracelet better?
This would the version I’d go. It’s lovely
Yeah, quite handsome.
@@YoureTerrific no you're handsome
Mom, is that you?
@@YoureTerrific lol
what's the watch you were actually wearing ?
hi I enjoy your channel a lot .. would this Formex stand with a Monta or Tudor? I am looking for a luxury sports everyday watch. My current stable includes a rolex sub, grand seiko sbgx261 and a bunch of seiko divers. Thanks for your feedback
Just got the black dial with the dual color bezel! Definitely not cheap but the fit and finish along with the features more than justify the price.
What is the taper on the mesh bracelet?
I love your humor.
I have been noticing how well you dress. Would love some fashion content (:
Always love your content!
Maybe one day I will, too.
where can I see his mans collection I'm curious
Just met these folk at WindUp NYC. Superb convos, watches same. Purchased a 39 whatchamanamit. Love it- question is, what’s next from them to slap on my girl wrist
Now, Formex.. where is the 40mm diameter version? 20mm lug also. Thanks for the vid, man.
Have never even considered Formex. Until 2 minutes from now, when I finish writing this post, I hadn't even been to their website. Wonder why? Do the traditional watch "media" not cover them?

I'm swooning 😍
Nice review, thanks.
The video has a strong john Hughes vibe. Interesting

Always GREAT! Always
Evan, what a beauty. Formex seem to be a forward thinking brand.
If I didn’t have a dozen or so dive watches already….
Problem?
Weird…
what…
Me…?
I gotta go, Mums calling…
Can I borrow some money please mummy…😬
Do you really mean "borrow" or do you actually mean "have"?
@@YoureTerrific hahaha well…? It could be worse. It could be heroine…🤷♂️
If monotone was a person 😐 this guys a hoot
Is that Cannon Beach ?
Lincoln City
Love the Oregon Coast.
How cool is that !
is this a travelers GMT or a caller gmt?
It's an office or caller's GMT with the COSC Sellita SW330-2 movement.
I don't know man.. nice looking watch all things considered, but the removable bezel is just a cheap trick to me. It's like selling a car with the option that you can pop out and change the windscreen on your own. Why would anyone do that?

The cost of a little extra time would be worth not paying $200 for a lost bezel.
Annoyed that the dive version doesn't have the exhibition caseback and lumed bezel options like the GMT.
Reminds me of a proplof Lite
Shakespeare, now?
Glad you caught that.
wow, major Ploprof vibes!
Fantastic microbrand.
Ploprof and Nautilus had a baby.
You said 42mm, which is right, but screen said 40mm…just a quick clarification.
Thanks and sorry.
@@YoureTerrific no apologies needed, thanks as always for the great reviews.
