Thanks to Wise for gifting the watch to the channel:
wisetimepiece.com/collections...
Last year Wise Watches fully impressed me with their Admascus diver. Complete with a 904L steel
and a ton of lume. Now they are back, but this time it's with a Damascus steel sports watch. It's an interesting shift for a fascinating watch. So check out this intriguing 39mm, which strikes a great balance between cool and attractive..
Straps Used:
Harris Tweed Strap from Vario
Blue Hybrid strap from Barton

I got the silver dial with the fauxtina, and I honestly think it's my favorite watch so far this year under $1,500. I can't actually pick out anything wrong with the actual watch. The size is great, the finishing is great, the customer service was top notch! My only criticisms at all is that the box(es) are huge! Beautiful and well done, but massive! The other thing would be the alternate strap. Mine came with a plain black leather, and it's an OK strap. But this being a sport watch, I think a rubber strap of some sort would have been more appropriate. Indeed, I've had a hard time not putting this on almost every day since I got it! ❤❤❤

That's a great looking one too. I usually don't like the Faux lume, but looks good with the silver dial. I'd love it if they came out with a fitted rubber strap. That would be perfect.

@dazzlerjohnwatchman8215 Жыл бұрын

Shane as usual a balanced and thoughtful review. Damascus steel i have owned in the form of a blade on a pocket knife. The unique character of the steel provides a visual delight for the owner. On this watch it looks awesome and will really catch the sunlight in different ways dependent on time of day. The movement is fine, reliable and easy to adjust. I agree I have never seen a metal bracelet of Damascus steel. The brown calf is the right choice on a sports watch I think. Cant wait to see this watch after a few months of wear.

Damascus has been a popular option in handguns, knives and jewelry for years, so I'm glad to see it making it's way into wristwatches. If you look at the 1 of 1 Cabot Arms matched set of 1911 handguns, made entirely of meteorite, this might be an indication of a future direction for - albeit limited and expensive - watches.

@bigwilliearmitage Жыл бұрын

I wasn't interested in their diver because it's high polish on the softer 904 SS. That's a watch that will look great "in the showroom", but will accentuate scratches and swirls very quickly. This is a very unique piece, but very polarizing too. Either you like it or your don't. The quality seems top-notch.

@RelativeTime Жыл бұрын

That is a concern with 904L. I wonder if anyone has ever put a scratch resistant coating over polished 904L? Maybe that would help.

@bigwilliearmitage Жыл бұрын

@@RelativeTime I would expect that coating from Rolex or Ball, but I don't believe either of these pricey 904 purveyors does so. IMHO, 904L is a bit of a gimmick. Not sure most would notice the difference in appearance, and the increased corrosion resistance claim is a solution in search of a problem.

Cool review, just not sold on the Damascus look. Would rather have just plain old polish and or brushed instead. Cheers.

@shanedevoria2050 Жыл бұрын

While I think it is an attractive watch, it is a pity that a company like Wise would use the marketing ploy of calling it Damascus Steel. Most everyone one knows that which was known as Damascus Steel no longer exists. A better and more accurate term would be "Damascus Style." Or even an homage to the lost this art of making steel.

Do you think that damascus steel may be same hype like tiffany blue dials or bronze cases? PS. What is this blue strap seen at 11:12 of your video?

@RelativeTime Жыл бұрын

I think it’s harder and more expensive got make, so I don’t think it will be quite as big a fad. I think that’s a Barton hybrid strap. Nylon on top, silicone on the bottom. Awesome strap. Highly recommended if you want something as comfortable as a silicone strap but looks a little nicer.

It’s a pretty watch - almost despite the Damascus effect. Are you sure it’s real Damascus? I’m far from an expert but that looked more etched than real layered Damascus. I know that effect is very often faked on knives. Either way it’s pretty striking. I like that it’s different and kind of funky. The plane Jane steel version you showed looked awesome. (I’m pretty plane Jane).

@RelativeTime Жыл бұрын

Well as some have pointed out, Damascus steel doesn't officially exist anymore.. or rather the technique to make it has been lost to history. So this is whatever the modern equivalent is, using whatever technique Smiths have created to try and recreate it. Not sure of the specifics but Wise mentioned the case is made with a combination of 304L and 316L stainless.

Instead, they use the most boring looking typeface WISE for me that decision is…unwise. They should of just use the W logo at 12 to replace WISE would of really make it a home run for me. Plus I also wish they offer burgundy color dial with Damascus case finish then I’ll push the impulsive buy it button.

Thanks for the review. I like the watch and the MIYOTA movement choice. I'll take a Miyota 9000 24/7 over the problematic Sellita SW200 with the "helicopter effect rotor. I've had several SW200 crap out on me with the same problem. Instead of fixing the SW200 issues they added the SW300. The SW300 is fine, but so many brands using the SW200 the issue should be fixed. I was told from a watch maker they build them so fast to fill orders they don't lubricate them correctly. Add that to one or two bad parts design = RPITA. The linked video talks about the issue. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/a7V8m9qYqZfKcqM.html&ab_channel=SwissWatchCompany
