Miyota 8215 Vs Miyota 8315 - The 8315 Is Here But Is It Better?

Hey guys, what do you think of the new 8315, has it been worth waiting for? Thanks for watching and have a great day

[briancolyer]

The noise does not bother me, being slightly mutton and all....the obvious improvements are definitely worth it....like the NH series they'll never be wow movements but let's be honest at the budget end we want reliability and cheap replacements rather than expensive servicing....many may argue but these things can run just as accurately and reliably as many of the swiss options....🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿⌚🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿⌚

Nice side by side comparison. Haven't tried a watch with the 8315 but hope to soon. Thanks.

[drebarthelotte]

I like my 8215S. The noise never bothered me. The new movement is great. That bump in power reserve hopefully will make seiko upgrade the 35/36/4r. More movements make more interesting watches. Great review. Thank you again 👍👊

[djapojunior]

Great video. Not a lot of videos on the 8315 so it's nice to see a comparison and what you get with the new movement. 👏

[watchsixto]

Awesome comparison mate definitely nice they upgraded the movement I have a few 8215 haven't had any problems with them

[jeremiah]

Great video! Are you able to do any budget watches that look like an rm 011?

[unknowntraveller]

Still not convinced that the "Hacking" action is really all that a deal breaker we are not talking high end movements and their plus and minus per day makes it a moot point in my opinion. I would use the 8215 in a retro reboot for authenticity.

[CasioToCartier]

I still think the Seiko NH35 is the best option for a reliable, affordable, workhorse movement… I think the best movement is the Miyota 9015/9039 for the money.

[oliverhernandez]

Nice comparison bro! I would like that for the next comparison (821a vs 8315) you show the movements to be able to observe the differences in appearance. I understand that the 8315 has blued screws. Greetings from Peru.

I think they're both ok and San Martin obviously uses them as a way to offer different price points, but one thing that does bother me is when they put their more pricey movements into a watch and then go and butcher it by putting three different logos on it.

[watsondna]

You aught to compare rotor noise with the backs off. Case thickness might explain the difference.

[AlexanderB.]

Interesting content! Well I could predict the winner out of these two! 😆 I believe the 8315 is essentially an 821A with a longer main spring. This is no bad thing as I already liked the 821A. I hope we will see many more watch brands use this movement. Because some competition between this and the Seiko NH series will help to keep the prices down.

[dales_quaker]

You mentioned that the 8315 movement is more expensive but by how much? What might that do to the budget watch market? I prefer a hacking movement so would like to see it introduced widely if it’s priced competitively against other hacking movements.

8315 in my Wolbrook/ Douglas Outrider.

[francisandreiver]

Unrelated but I really need your help. I also have a small wrist (6.25”) and I’m planning to buy a submariner homage. I’m choosing between San martin sn017-g and Cronos L6005 (no date & fully lumed). Both have nh35. The San martin being 19 usd cheaper because of the 7.7 sale in my country. I really like the no date and bracelet & clasp of the Cronos but because of my wrist size, San martin might be a safer choice because of it’s thickness and shorter effective l2l. Also based on what I heard the San martin has overall better quality than the Cronos. So what do you think I should get??

[mbseigel]

could you mention ghost date issues? as I understand, the 8215 does have such. not sure about the 8315. or honestly, if I should care, other than people always mention ghost date, as if something bad.

[Dondaddyh]

I’ve refused to buy any Watch with 8125, but happy to have a try with a 8315.
Bored with NH35, the PT5000s are great so far👍🏽

[TacBlades]

The biggest issue was the stutter 8215 and indirect drive of the seconds hand so has this been changed to a direct drive to remove the stutter

[WatchWitt]

Couldn’t tell from the video, but does the 8315 have an occasional stuttering/jittering seconds hand like the 8215? It’s normal, from the indirect drive…but I haven’t heard if 8315 is direct drive or not.
