Today we have a rather unusual watch. Brand new from Vario we have the ИAVI x POPEYE. In essence, a character watch featuring Popeye The Sailor Man. Yet Ivan & Vario decided to go the extra mile and incorporate a fun nautical themed design, with a Jumping Hour movement. Popeye watches aren't overly common, and neither are Jumping Hour watches. So it's pretty unusual to see both of these together, and from a small microbrand to boot. ----Other Watches Shown Vario 1918 Trench: https://youtu.be/7tPLCk_HxIU Vario Empire: https://youtu.be/tYGrdbGtJgY Seiko Antarctica Monster: https://youtu.be/DALX39LtKKE Seiko Dark Knight Turtle: https://youtu.be/S2iy9jfeCCs Solas Starlight: https://youtu.be/HHFRYGw1i78 -Note: Some of the links above are affiliate links, I am an Amazon affiliate so I would earn a small commission on qualified purchases.

For the Sake of transparency, some watches were given to the channel when I did the original review. Yet this video was never mentioned, thought of, or in the works when I was doing those reviews. The watches that were gifted were the Apollo, Horizons, D5 Tropic, Kazan, and Uni-Dive. The others were either bought or borrowed. 00:00 Lume-O-Ween Y'ALL! 01:00 #5 Rocketman 02:17 #4 Cult Hit 03:56 #3 No Surprises 04:59 #2 Citizen Cane 06:07 Honorable Mentions 08:14 #1 Top Dog! 09:36 Thanks!

Uni-Dive / Proxima sent me something a little interesting. This watch not only has a fully adjustable Strap, but it also has a swappable case. So you can turn it from a MM to a Turtle and Back again. For the Adjustable Strap( Amazon & Aliexpress are Affiliate Links): On Amazon: https://geni.us/Vy7T5 On Aliexpress: https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_Aq62KD On Proxima's Site: https://bit.ly/3EbNPYz For The Watch: On Aliexpress: https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_AdKPwl Proxima: https://bit.ly/3C9UFwO Other Watches With Swappable Case: https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_AStgNf https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_9hrfal https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_Af70pr https://www.proximawatches.com/index.php?route=product/category&path=243_247 *Important Update* So as I was finishing editing this together, Uni-Dive contacted and updated me on a couple things. Which brought some clarity, as well as a few more question marks regarding the swappable case. First off they said that anything with a MM or Turtle style case is going to built with the monobloc center module to make them swappable. So that makes it easy to know what is what. However... they also informed me that what they sent me was Version 2 of this design, and they now have Version 3 with two major differences. Plus they aren't compatible. Why they would send me the V2 when a V3 was around the corner... I have no idea. So the first difference is that the V3 is being made by a different factory, and is supposed to have a better fit and finish. Which I'd love to see, as I already thought the V2 was pretty good. They also changed the positioning of the screw. Which makes some things better, and some things worse. The screws are no longer positioned in between the lugs. Now they are on top underneath the bezel insert. Which "might" prevent them from backing out on their own, but will prevent them from getting lost if they do. However... this also means that you have to remove the bezel insert if you want to swap the case. Now removing the bezel isn't extremely difficult, but it's also not something you do for the heck of it. So it still has the capability... but in a lot of ways, this makes it seem like they did this so the watches are easier to build, rather than something you can easily do at home. Then to make things even more confusing, they also said that right now the V3 Turtle style cases aren't ready. At least not yet. So right now if you order a MM style, you get V3. A turtle style, you get a V2. Although you can contact them if you want a V2 MM style. So yeah... two steps forward, one step back maybe? ** -Note: Some of the links above are affiliate links, I am an Amazon affiliate so I would earn a small commission on qualified purchases.

I absolutely love the design here, but Seiko's manufacturing branch needs a swift kick in the rear. This is both the best and worst Seiko I've seen in years and illustrates the current state of Seiko when it comes to affordable watches.

This is the Phoibos Apollo, a Titanium tool watch with a bit of an odd dial design. The best way to describe this is that its sort of a Titanium SKX combined with a Helm Komodo, and the M-Force I unboxed a bit ago. Kind of an odd combo, but it seems to work.
