Great watches !

Glad you enjoyed it. Still very amateurish but enjoying the process!

Ha ha thanks! They are like little “madeleine moments” for me (pretentious reference but worth a google if unfamiliar)

@@IlluminatingWatches I grew up with 3 TV channels so none of them jarred loose a memory for me but I find that I missed them anyway.

Amazing watch! Cover it in my citizen digital watches video

Ah nice! I’ll definitely dive more into that myself. So many fun avenues. Can get obsessive :)

Nice! Yes I saw some reviews of those. I like the idea of a modern seiko digital as they largely got out of that game a while back. Good to hear your positive experience with it!

I know - I so want to get the Star Wars one! So many fun digitals to explore!

@@IlluminatingWatches Yeah that one was killer!

Yep I’m picking up an unfortunate habit of picking up digital watches on eBay I wouldn’t have looked twice at in the Argos catalog as a kid

Thankyou so much! Really pleased you are enjoying the videos. Working on a new video on digital watches of luxury brands. Hope you will like!

@@IlluminatingWatches YES . THANK YOU SO MUCH TOO ! . 👍☺

One of the old square MRGs would be good . Luc Albert has one on Instagram. Braun made in Germany model also good. And the more modern El Capitan from Allay. There are loads!

Very kind of you thanks!!! Enjoying your channel. I’m just using this as an excuse/outlet to chat watches

@@IlluminatingWatches It's a great way for sure... will give your channel a shout-out on my community page, as when you're so small and starting out, it does take ages to get your own following... so far I've enjoyed this show, and will watch a few more later :) If you want to make a success of it, it's a lot of work, I just enjoy doing it as a passionate side of helping, also I enjoy filming :))

@@WatchUP69MrRangeman that is really kind of you. Ha yes I’ll blame the algorithm but the content likely plays a more significant part in my own numbers!!

@@IlluminatingWatches It's the bigger channels that reap the audience, and usually they take from your channel with ideas... just don't go buying views and subs, this leads to being dishonest with yourself, plus you can have the channel removed... seen a few channels grow very quickly, but certain things don't make sense, but if that's how they want to go forward, then they're not in it for the viewers so much, more about making money and being popular... Just enjoy it and the real viewers will come, you will get better what you do, so don't watch your early videos, especially mine, as it's just you getting to grips... you'll get better and better within your own limits, but never look at other big channels and get envious, they're not getting much pudding at home I swear LML :-P I'm a tiny channel, I'm an amateur and I do have a life, so you have to find points where to cut off, otherwise you'll be digging around through bigger channels wondering how they do it, and it's usually because they get sponsored, or review junk and lie to the viewers just to get free watches and a percentage of the deal... fair game if that's what anyone likes, but I have decided that this is my channel, and view the things I like and interest me. If you feel you're boring, then revamp yourself and create the channel like how you are in life, and really enjoy it. I really make my videos too long, but I like the details and tutorials and this can't be rushed... I get many emails asking to review watches of the micro brand, and to be honest, unless it's something very cool, I can't be bothered to blah blah over something that I would never wear or buy. Running a channel as an amateur on low views is how you start, and it takes time... this is my second time around, as KZfaq removed my old channel over nothing, just an Aprils's fools video, but was lucky to have nearly 8000 subs which soon found me, plus some other channels that noticed and gave me a mention to say I'm back, thus why I have over 7k subs in a little time. My older videos show the age, and luckily I had those saved elsewhere, otherwise I lost about 150 videos! I'm no expert, but if I can give you a mention just to push a few your way, it's a start, but am only doing this as your content is really good :))

What an awesome post. Very insightful and gratefully received! I’m relentlessly my boring self that digs into things too much for my own fun so minimal worries over that element! Great to hear your evolved view point and I look forward to my future cringing on current efforts!

Could be! Sounds quite Rammstein-esque

You still get the occasional but I agree - more please!

Useless at any of that! Hitmiccs On Instagram may be able to point you in the right direction.

Thankyou!!

True. I cover elektronika in detail in a video I did on soviet era watches

That’s the pulsar Y950 . There is also a Y951 variant. I cover it on my more recent video on alba and pulsar

That is a great shout! Not seen one in person

They did the swatch beat which was a digital. I did another video on 80s swatch if that’s of interest

@@IlluminatingWatches this was really informative. I didn't know about these watches.

Thankyou! Please do have a listen to my more recent videos. Hopefully you’ll see I’ve improved!

@@IlluminatingWatches Subscribed 👍

Thanks so much! I hope the more recent content keeps you interested!

The sheer nostalgia of the Timex Ironman triathlon (my first watch) and the coolness of the space link of the datalink range means I maintain a soft spot for them. They do make a lot of rubbish as well though!

@@IlluminatingWatches I thought the Datalink models were pure genius. But they weren't really sold outside North America.

I was obsessed with Ironman watches but suddenly I love Casio 😅 timex always had a good quality about them
