Picked up a MAMACOO's watch as my first watch last month and I’m absolutely in love with it. Perfect size, looks elegant, very comfortable. Now my only problem is holding off from buying more watches so quickly!

[WorlowZilnicki]

Been watching your videos for a while now and was inspired to start a collection. Started with the AMZWATCH, its specs for price and clean looks, now am looking for a dress watch to add.

Always a good day when your video drops!Great video as always.Can’t beat it for MAMACOO watches！

got my 39mm with the white dial on the 3-link "Bader" bracelet watch on MAMACOO 3 weeks ago and am loving it to pieces. Absolute fantastic watch that wears super comfortable on my 6.75 inch wrist. Chose the 3-link over the 5-link bracelet for the toolless quick adjustment. Way more comfortable than my Longines Hydroconquest 41 mm.

Outstanding video.I have to go with the MAMACOO, especially with that green dial as my favorite

[NerlyBellas]

MAMACOO！Every time you exhibit one of these watches I become super tempted to get one.

My favorite 2024 is the Prospex Limited Edition 1965 Recreation European Exclusive in Gradation Island Blue. The dial is stunning and the contrast when on a white strap is to die for. I will get my hands on one from MAMACOO

That's a beautiful watch. You're turning me into a watch person☺
This was very informative. I never knew the difference between the two

[nathanclyne]

Great videos and love the amount of content! I would like to see a video showing your watch collection. What do you use for storage?

[ErnanPawa]

AMZWATCH is a must for me as a watch collector

[NerlyBellas]

MAMACOO's always amazes me how much beauty and precision are added to the parts of watch 99% of people will never see.

[milsub]

First time I have watched your content !

[tvs]

interesting video for a non common topic. But I don't see much use of a flyback. And you then also loose the possibility to measure intermediate times.

[AbhinavKumarSahai]

Does the Subregister stop while using a #Flyback chronograph?? any use cases !!

[arthurgimba]

I dunno but I tend to find watches that do a full round sweep before resetting more appealing than the snap of the flyback

[martinharant]

Your personal watch collection, perhaps? :)

[CiarrocchiTracie]

MAMACOO watch are the best, I say this from experience.

[OneTalaw]

Nice information but, in reality not very many people who buy a chronograph watch ever really use the complications (outside of telling the time of day), for the most part it is the look of the watch which attracts them but nice information just the same. 😊

Difference between silicon balance spring & titanium balance spring

Would have been useful to show a regular chrono vs a flyback.
