I have a small wrist. I recently bought a reference 175.0032 speedy reduced (1988). I must say I was second guessing myself while watching your video - right till the end, when you said "we don't buy watches with our heads, do we?" and that cleared every doubt I had for my recent purchase and adore it even more now. and super clear explanation on the co-axial movement.

Fantastic video, Max! I feel like you really upped your game with the cinematography and editing on this one, and the music choices were great as well. Really looking forward to seeing what you have in store for 2021! One super nitpicky suggestion I've been thinking about for a while that I think could possibly make your videos feel even more professional-don't be afraid to try letting the music from one section bleed a little more into the next section before fading it out completely. In particular, I think your title intro (at 24 seconds) could benefit from less of an abrupt music transition. Just something to consider; keep up the awesome work!

I got this watch. Its a great watch. I also have a no-date Sub, and I can't tell you how many times i have to dig my phone out to get the date when I have to sign off on forms. (At that point I already see the time on the phone too, so the watch becomes totally ornamental. Not necessarily a bad thing. I also dislike the Rolex Cyclops.). For work, its a better watch. The date function is done so well - so unobtrusive but legible when you need it, unlike other date windows. Small enough to be a dressy watch, along with the shiny applied indices. However enough classic Speedmaster DNA to wear causally with jeans. Water resistant to 100m is another plus. (unlike 50m for even the recently updated Speedmaster professional) The bracelet is like a Presidential style bracelet - all the comfort but without the jangling. It's a true "go anywhere, do anything" watch.

Hi Max and Happy New Year, I think this 38mm Co-axial is a nice looking watch but it doesn't really grab me like the reduced Speedy but to be fair I think a lot is down to the almost uniform bezel tachymeter markings, I much prefer the bunched up markings becoming more spaced out on the traditional Speedy bezel. Great movement though and you're description of the Co-axial movement was the best I've seen, I've still no idea how it works but it looked excellent. Oh and I have a 2nd watch, it's a Submariner...a Seiko Submariner, the SKX033. I need a new watch when the Planet Ocean goes to Switzerland on holiday for around 10 weeks so bought this 39mm SKX on a Jubilee bracelet and I really like it. anyway loved the vid mate and here's to a great year ahead for the channel.

If however, one views this watch out of the Speedy context, it becomes a really attractive piece. To sum up: This watch is VERY far removed from the Speedmaster Pro. If someone wants a speedy pro - just get the pro. This watch is awesome for someone looking for something a bit more sporty than a rolex datejust, but a bit more dressy than an rolex explorer.

I used to love the Speedmaster Racing 40mm on how it looked on my wrist, but never got a chance to buy it and now it's discontinued. May I ask for your wrist size? Do you think this watch will look good on my small 6 inch wrist?

Did you end up buying it? I have same size wrist looking at it toi

No. I ended up getting a Seamaster Aqua Terra 38 mm (the model with horizontal deck floor pattern). Unfortunately the lack of screw down crowns despite a 100m water resistance rating was a turn down for me. I usually like to take my watches to steam rooms, pools and hot tubs. I have a Seamaster (the bond version) in 36.25 mm that has screw down crowns and has never failed me through 8+ years, so I didn't feel like risking it with the Speedmaster. I feel the Aqua Terra looks great on my 6 inch wrist, and the Speedmaster is pretty much identical dimension wise. So I wouldn't worry for it looking too big on your wrist either. Maybe I will be getting it as my next watch as I really like the looks, its midsize and automatic unlike the Moonwatch.

@@TheFederer9999 funny thing is I am now edging towards the aqua terra myself! The thickness of speedmaster racing is a concern for a small wrist. Dimensions of the aqua terra seem perfect to me. Thinking same as you aqua Terra might be smarter buy and get the speedmaster racing as next purchase. How you finding the aqua terra? Happy with the decision?
@TheFederer999910 ай бұрын
Very happy. I find the watch to be extremely comfortable. I find it to be a more complete watch than the Speedmaster at almost the same price (AT is slightly more expensive). The only caveat I would mention is that the polished side of the strap is easily scratchable. But then again, this happened to my Seamaster too (and all stainless steel watches for that matter), but I don't really mind it. @@keefw361

Just bought this watch in a different colour and I just noticed that I can hear and almost feel the rotor moving. It kinda bothers me. Does yours do the same?

I think the 38mm Speedy cheapens the line if I'm being honest... I think it looks like a fashion watch, ok, maybe a Bulova. But really, it could have Michael Kors on the dial and it would look at place. If you want a smaller Speedmaster for slim wrist (I'm in that camp), go buy a FOIS. I've owned multiple Pros and finally bought a FOIS before the holidays and couldn't be happier. The symmetrical case, straight lugs, and smaller pushers really does help it wear smaller. It's the perfect Speedy, IMO.
@WatchCrunchOfficial3 жыл бұрын
Yeah, I didn't quite connect with this one. My issue with the speedy pro is the bracelet endlink that makes the watch wear big. They seem to have fixed it on the new one. The FOIS comes on a strap if I remember correctly

Hi Max, thanks for this great video. The only thing I don't like is the clasp because there is no way to micro adjust them like you can do with the extra indents in a typical fold-over clasp. That is a problem IMHO, I love the watch otherwise.

Nice Jeff, yeah that clasp can be improved. Enjoy the watch😁

It’s a nice size for a smaller wrist but the extra height could be a little to high if it was on a NATO strap which is quite common these days.
@WatchCrunchOfficial3 жыл бұрын
You are right Dave, would be very hard to wear this thing with a NATO. I think the head would feel wobbly on the wrist.

The price makes this watch tempting. Hard to say no and continue to save for the pro. If it had white hands it would be even harder…

Hi Max, great video. I am planning to get at 38 however, it seems dated (2017 last update). Was wondering what are your thoughts? Should I wait for an updated speedy38 in hopes they'll include METAS like what they did on the new moonwatch (2021). Was hoping to hear your views as I am in a dillema. TQ

I love that Omega are making this in 38 mm. But I do wish they kept the slimness of the lugs, and the bezel of the Reduced. The date window of the new one is 😕. I want to rock a Speedmaster on my smallish wrist but this one doesn't quite hit the mark for me

Yeah this one is a bit thick for the size, due to the movement they chose.
