Nice review. Nice to see a review of something different. Could not help noticing hat the rotor said 26 Jewels. This is a Selitta SW-200. It’s basically a copy. ETA does not make it easy for non-Swatch Group watchmakers to purchase there movements. Many companies are going the Seillitta route.

You can get one of these for $300 from an ebay AD. That is cheaper than most microbrands will charge for a watch with a swiss movement. Basically a really good value like most Glycines.

It's a dress and daily watch, taking inspiration from field watches. I have one, wear it every day. And its great and fab value.

I got the same vibe of the identity crisis too! I've been going back and forth for such a long time about can I wear it as a dress watch? No because of the way the green lumed markers are placed. Can I wear it as a more sport piece? No because it gives dressy vibes too...so confusing! Thanks for finally confirming my thoughts!

Glad to help. Haha, I've enjoyed wearing it on leather and it does work as an every day watch, with a sweater or shirt etc. Definitely not a dress watch though.

Good video Mike! Personally I’m sick of all the watch channels being positive about everything claiming to do reviews but actually doing advertisements. It’s not a review if you’re only being positive. Let’s have a real review about the good AND the bad.

Thank you, I try to tell it as I see it. This watch has so much potential, I hope they see this and address the issues I pointed out.

I know this watch's name includes "Combat", but I see it as a dress watch and not a field watch. The lume is bad, but then the Hamilton Khaki mechanical and Khaki King are bad too. The strap is definitely dressy with a butterfly clasp and I prefer something with micro-adjustments. If you look at this as a dress watch with a leather strap, it is like an affordable Rolex 36mm Datejust.

Gary Kitahata There was a Version of this called the Combat 6 Vintage. It had a more field watch style dial along the lines of a Khaki Field. It also came in a NATO. Was larger at 43mm. I heard d it was discontinued but you might be able to still find them.

@@surfitli I think the 43mm size is too large with this type of dial and bezel, which wears large. I have a 7.25" wrist, but I like the 36mm Combat and how it wears. There is also a 40mm moon phase version, but I still prefer the simplicity of the 36mm.

I’ve been looking at the black dial version. You make good points-causing me to consider purchasing another Hamilton Khaki instead. Good video, thanks!

I've just bought one of these, but managed to get a 25 jewel Eta version with drilled lugs. Will take about 3 weeks to arrive from the states, but for £265 gbp brand new I am well pleased with the purchase

The bracelet doesn't have screws, they are push pins (cotter pins). You have to push them out (in the direction of the arrow on the inside of the bracelet) with a small hammer and punch, or a bracelet adjustment tool. nowhere near as convenient as screw pins.

I've been looking at this watch. How is legibility? Do the hands disappear into the dial or do they stand out pretty well?

It's good. I notice that the crystal does reflect a bit despite the three layers of AR underneath, but I've had no issue reading it. It's also keeping very good time.

The lume is pretty disappointing, other than that I'd be pretty tempted to pick one.
