#003 - Watch Collection - Soft Spoken ASMR

Hello friends today I thought we might take a look at part of my humble watch collection we can take a look at a few different brands and watch [Music] Styles and look individually at maybe seven or eight watches together so I like to keep my most of my watch collection in this nice leather case that I was gifted I think this might have been a birthday a present one year helps to keep the watches protected and dust free and inside the case we have four individual fil I guess they are fum fill filled watch holders and then we have one long row in the back that can hold I would say about four watches of normal size maybe we will start back here this is a classic digital watch by Casio trying to keep Reflections to a minimum but that's good going to be difficult with all of the crystal faces on the watch faces I get this watch a couple of years ago I was doing a photo shoot and one of the stylists on the shoot was wearing a similar watch in gold and it brought back a lot of memories as a child of the 1980s these U watches were very much in [Music] style and uh I thought it was really cool to see someone wearing a classic watch like that so and it reminded me that they existed which I suppose I had kind of forgotten about so I went on Amazon and picked this one up I will maybe put each one on as we talk about them just to give an idea of what it looks like on the wrist and I also have this measurement rule with millimeters which is generally how you see watch sizes is listed this particular watch I would say is [Music] about maybe 38 millim wide if you include the buttons and about about the same on the height so it's about a 38 millimeter watch I suppose this one uh also has an alarm and a stopwatch or chronograph as they're called in sometimes in the watch world and it has a backlight which probably really hard to see on camera yeah I don't know if that's going to pick up or not I believe this is all stainless still classic not the most secure clasp of all time but it gets the job done I suppose next up we have a timx Weekender I believe the model name of this particular watch and I should say right up front here a lot of these watch batteries need to be replaced um and that may be something we can do in a future video if you're interested but this is one of the ones that definitely is dead just a classic field watch [Music] style easy to read emerals I like the red secondhand it's a nice contrasting color there and uh like most timx swatches this one has what they call end glow so when you press in the crown assuming your batter is working the whole watch face lights up from behind so that you can see it at night I believe this particular watch is also around 38 millim it's on the smaller side with the crown it's 40 but without including the crown it's about 37 millimet on this one I have a sort of olive green military style NATO band which are really quick to change as they just slide through the lugs on back so that's the timx Weekender final watch on the back row it's a very modern minimalistic watch I'm actually not sure of the brand this is one of those types of watches that you can buy on Amazon for less than [Music] $100 it does have a fairly nice Swiss Movement though it's a Rhonda six sorry Ronda 505 Swiss [Music] movement and a stainless steel case what I liked about this particular watch it's the minimal minimalism of the design has a small date window and I like the yellow secondhand and contrast to the black hour and minute hand this watch reminds me a lot of the brwn designed watches famously designed by derer braon there's this one on the wrist very modern as the strap physically goes inside the watch case this one is a 40 mm watch which as we go on I think you will see it's a very common size for me to buy I think for these four maybe we should take them out of the case to make room on the table so this next watch is a Scottish made product the company's pollen I believe they are based in Glasgow I really enjoy minimalistic designs or sort of simplistic vintage military style and my watch choices and this one certainly fits that minimalistic style this one has the small seconds complication again needs a battery also a really nice gray sueded leather band on this one that's really soft you can tell that it's a really high quality this watch was a birthday gift I believe this one is in the 30 m 38 mm so with the crown it looks like it's about 39 without the crown it's 37 yeah about 37 millimet give or take a millimeter so a little on the small side for a modern watch I think most vintage classic watches especially dress watches were probably this size or maybe even smaller but it seems more modern watches on the larger end of the size scale this next watch is from the same company that that made this particular watch it's a very very similar design this one does not have the date window and this one is more of a off-white face plate but it has a nice stainless still brushed stainless stilla case and let's see if this is the same movement this is a Swiss Movement the Rhonda 76 three and a sueded leather band on this one as well although not nearly as nice as the other one from Polland but there's this one on the wrist and I believe this is also a 40 mm sorry about the focus yeah I'm going to say it's close to 40 very simple clean minimal design next we have a citizen EC Drive I believe citizen is a Japanese company watch maker and their Eco drives are pretty cool because they use solar power through the watch face to power the battery this one is U Been In Storage for a while so the battery is not fully charged but this one is also a chronograph so you have buttons on the side for the chronograph feature start stop and reset and it also has a date complication I think of all of the watches on the table this is probably the one that I have worn the most although not as much recently this is very much in the military field watch design style you have a nice black face with easy to read numbers in a glow-in-the dark coated hour and minute [Music] hands the second hand is actually the little small seconds in the middle down here and the red arm is for the chronograph have a sort of olive drab military green band and a sort of nylon with metal riveted [Music] holes so that's the citizen then we have a watch company that actually started I believe on Kickstarter I helped fund this particular brand this was their first series of watches they were all inspired by World War I watches with the tubular lugs and the company name is hell gry they [Music] are Canadian based or at least they were when they started they were designed in Montreal by Two Brothers I believe and they've gone on to launch numerous other watches but this was the founders Edition I don't know if that's going to show GMT and the GMT and watches uh as well as in time in general is the grenwich meantime um acronym and for this particular watch that means that there is a third metallic arm here that can be used to set a different time zone so you know what time it is in two places at once this is the strap that came with the watch I usually do not wear this strap when I wear this watch but for the purpose of showing it I thought I would go with the original setup but I don't particularly love the orange leather color and it feels a bit cheap to be honest I really love the simplistic look of this one as well I think it might be slightly dressier than some of the other watches that I have but let's take a look at its size it's about 40 mm not including the crown and last but not least this is what I've been wearing as my daily watch for a while now this is from a Los angeles-based watch maker called sovit again a very simplistic military military field Style watch again this is not the original strap this is actually a custommade strap by a leather Artisan I found on Etsy I like the look of the two together so there you have it that's part of my humble watch collection I don't have super expensive watches these are all quartz movements which are generally more inexpensive there are a couple of really expensive watches that if I had unlimited money I might purchase but I find it hard to justify a really large purchase on and watch at this time I hope you enjoyed this there are a few more in my collection that I didn't have room to show today but if it's something you're interested in we could take a look at we can also maybe change the batteries on some of these that need that to be done I would love to hear if you still wear analog watches or if you've moved to say an Apple Watch and never looked back I like the connection these given me to a time and place and the past but I hope this video finds you well and maybe a little less anxious until next time goodbye
