I just got a Casanova from them. It seems as though they have fixed a lot of the issues mentioned in this video. Better strap, sapphire glass, less play in the dial, smaller “made in Italy” font, Swiss movement, less expensive. I love it, and maybe it’s worth another look??
Uncool, definitely not to my taste. You can get an Orient Ray II for a third the price and get 200m water resistance. Nonetheless, another great video Ben.
Spinnaker Wreck provides much better looking "damaged" design and Seiko automatic movement for 2/3 of the price. So this OOO is definitely a No for me.
It’s a far better watch but the damaged design is not as good to be honest. That’s the one thing this brand nails, it’s a shame that they really messed up everything else.
Maybe the thinking behind the mineral crystal was that it would add character if the crystal got "distressed" like the rest of the watch. Whatever the reason I think this watch is: uncool.
Just buy a £25 Sekonda "diver" homage (it has the same movement inside) and wear it for a year. Or buy a secondhand one from eBay. It'll look just the same once the chrome starts wearing off exposing the brass underneath. Absolute garbage at the price they want for it.
Hey Ben, discovered this video after stumbling across this brand when looking for a budget gmt. I notice that they have a much bigger range now, would you consider reviewing one of their automatic watches now? I quite like the look of the 40mm range and I get a kick out of the very italian message engraved inside the bezel
Great video but a definite no for the watch. I love divers but why bother when you can get a Phoibos Reefmaster with a Seiko automatic movement, a Dan Henry 1970 with, again a Seiko automatic or better yet, the Seiko SKX007, all superior watches for less money. Or for even less, the Citizen Promaster with the Eco Drive.
For a small amount more, you can get a well made, solar powered, properly lumed Citizen eco-drive Chronograph with 20ATM water resistance _and_ sapphire! (like this -> www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B005SEFNKU/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_fabc_1tQ1Fb9P06VS3?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1 ) *I guess you could say the prices are Out Of Order!* 🤣
I like the concept. I like the company's tongue-in -cheek motto. The price...for half the price, I'd be in! I'd use it as something different to wear while I'm at work. ...but 300 bucks? No way.
decent asthetics (though perhaps a tad pretentious, and very much a rolex homage - so certianly no creativity), however because of the breath-taking price considering the specifications definitely uncool unfortunatley :/ good eye though putting it with that nato - almost redeems it
As a person who's just getting into watches and only has Timex, I'd love a list of budget friendly ($100-300) watches from a European made company. Anyone willing to provide a few suggestions, thanks in advance.
I collect this brand this is probably the worst watch they sell, ive got a july4th eagle, cronografo, scarabeo, new york gmt, moderatooor 2.0, and ghost 3.0
FIAT= Fix It Again Tony, Alfa= The nicest styled but most fragile, unreliable car make. Now they've taken the worst part of this, and taken away the best- style. There is only one place for this- the bin!
A mediocre and cheap watch that is overpriced and a con. The appeal is like the emperor's new clothes. You can buy a Zelos, San Martin, or other microbrand as well as Orient and Citizen divers for the same money or less and get a great timepiece.
At that price point it better have an automatic movement and saphire crystal. Labor costs in Italy aren't that high. All that aside, why such a big watch?
I brought one of these in Spain 3 yrs ago still going on the new battery fitted upon purchase.this was the 1st run with cardboard box under £80 well worth it in my opinion, but would not have paid £300 even out of order was very surprised what I paid for it 😃
I like the look. I own an Out of Order, and same as yours, got it from Watch Gang Black during for a Review. Would not spend the money on it, but $100 wasn’t a bad deal through watch gang.
It looks very good, but I think is pretty poor value. High price, bog standard movement, and that 100M water resistance rating on a "dive" watch mean this one's all show and no go. Uncool.
This watch sadly belongs in the garbage imo. For the money, I'd buy a seiko SKX013 and modify it myself. Discolour the lume, fade the bezel etc. Basically just following bark and jack's route but with the smaller SKX.
Mate, enjoying the channel and the fact that you're showcasing unorthodox watches. However, the Garbage/Cool scale is really tacky. Needs a better execution to match the video quality, perhaps a graphical video instead of magnets? Even the categorical names seem tacky. Maybe it's just me.
I think it looks great and it's absolutely fine on a technical level. HOWEVER, shouldn't "mall brands" like Armani, Hugo Boss, Timex, Swatch or Fossil sell something identical for half the price??? It's actually quite bizarre how this OOO watch gets any coverage on the internet at all, but technically similar "mall watches" which are cheaper and easier to find don't.
Has the coolness factor (or rather lack of) of a pair of pre-distressed jeans, when I bought my brand new Seiko's for daily wear they very quickly gathered a moderate amount of scratches and wear, so I don't see the point in pre-distressed watches at all.
My Phoibos WaveMaster is 10 times better than this watch for only $250. That being said, like you mentioned, for under $100 I like the looks. I do think its a good watch if the price was right. The MSRP is ridiculous though. Keep up the good work. I would love you hear your views on Phoibos
I think the pre distressed is dumb. If I am wearing something distressed it is bc I have done myself and will have memories behind each of it's scars, not bc somebody did that to it for looks.
Not a fashion piece obviously, but the distressed look is loved by us watch collectors as we look for patina including scratches & all when buying a vintage piece. Its like anything its all about taste. I am still to try a OOO watch but like the distressed look of the case like yourself.
There’s certainly a watch for everyone’s taste. For somebody who drives a rat rod and is a big fan of Mad Max this would suit them well. Great video though. I’ve seen these on Watch Gang Facebook ads and only recently found out its an actual company and was curious about their quality.
It looks to me like the lume pip on the bezel was ground down flat in the "damaged" process. I've noticed this on most of the OOO watches I've seen and wondered if it was deliberate.
*Cool.* Sure, the quartz movement is a bit of a shame for the price, especially since there are automatic ones from myota that don't cost much more than the one this watch is using, while I see the lack of sapphire glass a non-issue. However, the design is solid and, especially if you check out their other models, even original in their own element.

Garbage, but I enjoyed the video
Thanks Tom!
Designs and concepts are very cool on the new models. One of the most refreshing brands out there
basiclly took a 50 dollar watch on alibaba scratched it and put some crap logos all over it . and then x8 the price
Allot of the designs are very cool also with the concepts.
Basically what every big brands do over a long period of time lol
The strap is worth more than the watch
Uncool, definitely not to my taste. You can get an Orient Ray II for a third the price and get 200m water resistance. Nonetheless, another great video Ben.

I very well done review
Personally, I don’t like anything about this. I don’t like fake aging.
buy a 50 dollars chinese Rolex, use it for a year and resell it on ebay calling it out of order rolex
Good idea
If you want a watch with scratches/patina on it, then buy a vintage tudor or rolex. Don't buy this quartz landfill fodder

It’s too big and it’s a quarts movement. Great aesthetics though

if it was made back in the 60s , this would be the Daniel Wellington of the era.
Over £300 for a quartz movement, mineral glass and minimal water resistance? Has the world gone mad?
For a small amount more, you can get a well made, solar powered, properly lumed Citizen eco-drive Chronograph with 20ATM water resistance _and_ sapphire! (like this -> www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B005SEFNKU/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_fabc_1tQ1Fb9P06VS3?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1 )
*I guess you could say the prices are Out Of Order!* 🤣
For 300 dollars for a scratched up quarts movement watch I'd rather buy a 43inch 4k tv

Did he even say anything about the second hand being off?
These are great! Watches love them 💕
300 for a cheap quartz movement... no thanks
I honestly like how it looks and I don’t mind quartz movements. Great video as always!
Considering the existing watches you can get for that price these days... Garbage. Great vid as per tho! 💪

I'd rate this Cool. I want one, but you are right, it is way overpriced.
I like the styling but really .. For a Quartz.. 10 bar.. No..
OOO does have Automatics that are smaller and about that same price.
absolute garbage 🗑
The strap looks like cardboard got wet in the rain.
Hair.
100m water resistant "diver", cheap Quartz movement, loose bezel, mineral glass, scratched.
Why would anyone pay for this garbage?
FIAT= Fix It Again Tony, Alfa= The nicest styled but most fragile, unreliable car make. Now they've taken the worst part of this, and taken away the best- style. There is only one place for this- the bin!
A mediocre and cheap watch that is overpriced and a con. The appeal is like the emperor's new clothes.
You can buy a Zelos, San Martin, or other microbrand as well as Orient and Citizen divers for the same money or less and get a great timepiece.
Pre ripped jeans, intentionally scratched and bashed guitars, now we have fake old watch.. these try hards
This definitely is an interesting concept, not my style but it’s definitely different. Cool to see what’s out there for different trends.
I hope you can find an opportunity to review the LMM-01 Mechanical
At that price point it better have an automatic movement and saphire crystal. Labor costs in Italy aren't that high.
All that aside, why such a big watch?
Ben, do a review either on Pulsar or QnQ particulary the diver version, its almost unheard of on youtube
Buy a chinese for 20 bucks and bury it on the garden for a year. Buy a Seiko 5 Sport with the rest of the money.
Enjoyed the video as always but that watch is so overpriced for what it is. Garbage.
Why spend 300 quid when you can fins a similar watch at your local landfill
I brought one of these in Spain 3 yrs ago still going on the new battery fitted upon purchase.this was the 1st run with cardboard box under £80 well worth it in my opinion, but would not have paid £300 even out of order was very surprised what I paid for it 😃
€ vs £ Wins £, like € vs $, wins €...
lol who would wear that not me.... not a fan..... get a better watch for that price cheers
GARBAGE, looks like a 30 usd watch maxxxxxxx.
You doing a review after having it 18 months lol ?
tHE logo IS gARBAGE AS IS THE STRAP AND THE MSRP IS oUTRAGOUS
Waiting for the review of the Casio ltp sapphire!
I like the look. I own an Out of Order, and same as yours, got it from Watch Gang Black during for a Review.
Would not spend the money on it, but $100 wasn’t a bad deal through watch gang.
They outdone Undone with the faux patina and faux tropical dial ha ha. But this is a weird trend that really interesting
For the record, I do think this is a way worse watch than an Undone
Sweet! When I was a member of Watch Gang, these were coveted in the community. I never understood why. Thanks for the review!
Majority of people in Watch Gang don't really understand or know watches.
Seeing the title, I thought this was a meme.
The strap is the underside of veg tan leather
better to just wear a watch until it shows its age.
I think that this particular watch is garbage but the video was informative and informational and I really enjoy the videos that you produce!!!
Thanks Richard!
@@BensWatchClub you're very welcome!!!

I think he did a great distress on his 007. I might do the same to my Turtle.
Garbage. I want a new watch to look new.
I like it. your not getting it. the ugly bad is whats good about it. I'd consider buying one if the crystal was scratched.
id like it better if it said made in russia
Same movement as Casio Duro.
At the price point, garbage.
Over priced, too big. $100 max value. For what they are charging they should have made 40mm and put and auto miyota in there

Chinese specials and casino are really exposing micro and so called luxury watch branded manufacturers.. Just rip offs
Out of Order are still in business and their prices have gone up. Definitely fashion watches. Lots of quartz movements
Perfect watch to pair with my pre-ripped jeans
🤣🤣🤣
$150 watch absolute max If you want a quality dive watch in quartz thats what you'll pay for a Phoibos and its 300 m waterproof .
My Phoibos WaveMaster is 10 times better than this watch for only $250. That being said, like you mentioned, for under $100 I like the looks. I do think its a good watch if the price was right. The MSRP is ridiculous though. Keep up the good work. I would love you hear your views on Phoibos
Rough out leather.
What a crappy concept.
I think the pre distressed is dumb. If I am wearing something distressed it is bc I have done myself and will have memories behind each of it's scars, not bc somebody did that to it for looks.
Review the auto one with sapphire? I think this is bad example, but I am not sure. I would maybe get one on heavy discount.
Not a fashion piece obviously, but the distressed look is loved by us watch collectors as we look for patina including scratches & all when buying a vintage piece. Its like anything its all about taste. I am still to try a OOO watch but like the distressed look of the case like yourself.
Why do you have a problem with 10atm? It means it's water resistant up to 100m so its a normal diver watch. But overall great review
I hate everything about this watch. EVERYTHING!!!
There’s certainly a watch for everyone’s taste. For somebody who drives a rat rod and is a big fan of Mad Max this would suit them well. Great video though. I’ve seen these on Watch Gang Facebook ads and only recently found out its an actual company and was curious about their quality.
Nice review Ben. Put a mechanical movement in it, and some more water resistance, and it might have some appeal. But garbage the way it is.
It looks to me like the lume pip on the bezel was ground down flat in the "damaged" process. I've noticed this on most of the OOO watches I've seen and wondered if it was deliberate.
wanna sell it? lol
*Cool.* Sure, the quartz movement is a bit of a shame for the price, especially since there are automatic ones from myota that don't cost much more than the one this watch is using, while I see the lack of sapphire glass a non-issue. However, the design is solid and, especially if you check out their other models, even original in their own element.
This would still be semi decent if they were made with reused materials.
Would save time and money on the "damaging" process as well. :P
Fabulous Video All The Best Ben And Health And Happiness To You.
good god, i remember when Fender did this to guitars and charged a premium for it. strictly for posers.
Enormous watch
Too big for my wrist.
Even yours I think.
I believe that you buy in reality the Made in Italy inscription rather than the watch itself.
This is not a dive watch since it's only 100m water resistance
Rather get an automatic seiko for 100 bucks
It reminds me of the fashion of holes in the knees of jeans.
what did you do with that strap?
Nice !!! Wish I have one of these
Nice review
Thanks Craig!
I like this more than I probably should....is it for sale?
Probably will be at some point Ian haha
I have a question. Why do non-asians pronounce Miyota as Mah-yow-tah? I mean it’s Mi-yo-ta. They don’t pronounce Ink as Ahnk
I say ME-yota. Not asian
Pure crap
uncool
Uncool
Yep, uncool again. Not my taste. Thanks for this review, but the worn watch case is a bloody nightmare for me!
Cool
