Your vids simply help melt some of the stress of life away, That's why I keep watching. I'm sure the rest of your audience would agree. I must add: that is one classy and modern paddle boat, complete with phone cradle and cupholders.

@tobyey9134 Жыл бұрын

Went ahead and got the Escape after the other video. Pretty pleased by it, finishing overall is nice, the bezel stands out especially and the twisting feature is fun and useful though I didn't notice that it was in ride mode at one point and misread the time by an hour, maybe a turning angle different to a multiple of 30° would have been a wiser choice. Drawbacks for me are no lume on the hands, whose design really was predestined for it - shame - and the water resistance of 5atm which is a bit of a joke for a watch at this price point, 10 would have been more appropriate. But that gets made up for by the exclusivity and cool-factor of the clutch plate dial. So though I wouldn't go as far to call it excellent, a solid watch for the price, especially with your discount code, thanks Freddie ;D Edit: One thing I forgot to mention: when the crown is screwed in all the way the logo on the crown doesn't end up in a position aligned to anything but at an odd angle, another little oversight in the design.
