I wish you gave an explanation on why you think Shinola is garbage instead of talking about their branding. I own two and yes while I agree that they can be pricey I believe you shouldn’t judge it by its marketing mistakes. I’m from Detroit and the first time I needed a new battery and also cleaned up the leather band for me without asking which in my opinion is a company that cares about quality and people. They have an excellent design and build quality. So id first check them out before judging them.

What’s his opinion of the watch quality?

You should check out this brand again. I have owned a Runwell Shinola for almost 6 years now and it has been fantastic. I own automatic Seiko's, etc. and I feel this brand is just fine. They are providing jobs in Detroit and the build Quality on the pieces are worth the price in my opinion. Yes the quartz movement is nothing special but I feel the fit and finish of the watch makes up for that. All in all its a great looking simplistic piece I can look at on my wrist, get the time, and enjoy knowing I am supporting a company that is made themselves a well made foothold in the City of Detroit. I love your videos, I just feel this one came off a bit to watch snobby in my opinion.

For the watch snob, I can understand the skepticism especially after going into a store where the employees have limited knowledge or lack credibility. For a guy who cares about quality and style but isnt a watch aficionado, I find Shinola appealing - easily above designer watches but not as expensive or as gaudy in style as other high end watches. I would typically not spend over $300 on any kind of watch anyway so when I found a watch with a beige/gold accents on sale over the holidays, I grabbed it and I love the watch. Simple, understated but unique.

Ok first off I appreciate the work you do. And you make a good point: shinolas are overpriced and they have some misleading marketing about the origin of their parts and movements (Ronda for quartz and Selita for automatic). That being said - I love shinola watches. I own both a quartz and an automatic. The product design is so sleek in my opinion - I love the trench watch style of the runwell and the heft of the watches is satisfying on the wrist. Their color combos are typically really well thought out and the quality of their leather bands is amazing (although also overpriced - $115 for leather quick release straps 🤨). Anyway to all those who are on the fence about at least a runwell - I can assure you this watch enthusiast (me) is very satisfied with shinola watches.

Today (Sunday) I was in a NYC Manhattan Upper West Side coffee shop (diner) having a late breakfast and wearing my Omega Seamaster. I was talking with another guy who was alone at the table next to me. He was in his 60's dressed a bit rumpled, but I got the impression that he was well-to-do--maybe recently retired, or maybe still working a bit. I saw that he was wearing a good-size chronograph on a nato, which looked impressive, from where I was sitting. I couldn't see what it was, and I wasn't going to get closer and try to look at his hand, so finally I asked him "What's that chronograph?" He told me "It's from Detroit," so I said "Oh, a Shinola!" He told me he has several other watches that are quite expensive, I asked him what they were. He told me he's got an AP, a Piaget and a Blancpain, but he mostly wears the Shinola now. He said it works great and he likes it a lot. All I can say is just looking at it, in action, on somebody's wrist, the Shinola made a nice impression. And there are people who know watches who buy Shinolas.

your anecdote is way better than the one in the video haha. I guess his point was that people who work in shops don't know much about watches.

The intelligent viewer might ask; how can someone who has never owned a Shinola make a credible review? The obvious answer is, you can not. I was given an $850 Filson Chronograph as a gift, which is made by Shinola and it keeps better time than my Rolex 24K Presidential and as good as my Cartier. So if anyone is looking for a review with intellectual integrity, thus far I would rate my Filson/Shinola as a ruggedly handsome and accurate timepiece.

I am just putting a new battery in mine after 3 years. I am delighted with my watch, world-class quality at a fraction of the cost of a bigger name brand. This is complete rubbish.

Eh dont agree with this. I have two shinolas but i do have a comment to how you get the quality and feel from one. If you live outside of michigan and never been to detroit dont buy one. Its like buying a cheese hat outside of Wisconsin. It just doesn’t make sense. Shinola is a detroit brand. Yes, imported parts but it has brought jobs to detroit (good jobs) and the straps are hand stitched and made in house. As for the watch. When you purchase one, people know what shinola is, they know that what the company is. If you live in detroit you know they made bikes, leather goods, and of course watches. Its a retro stye but with a classy touch. Until you actually own one and buy one to feel the experience you then understand alittle more. From the outside i can totally see overpriced and mabye a mixed image but from the inside its a brand like wearing a michigan sweatshirt for watch people. Its definitely home grown price tag but the quality and service you get with one shows it value.

He also mentions their “identity crisis”...has he ever bought an American car?? They are not 100% built in America by any measure and use imported parts and components yet people still want to support an American company/brand and buy them because they like them. Which is what it’s all about. It’s not just a “flex” on how much you know about affordable alternatives to high end luxury watches or how it makes you so mad that some people simply like a watch and want to pay for it.

What's your opinion on Carpenter watches?

"Hey hooman, puurrrr.... purrrr.... its time to play ... puuurrrr puurrrr...."

Are there any other watches that have the same design as the shinola runwell I really like the case design on that watch

I think your criticism is misguided. You're entitled to your opinion of course, but the fact that they are still selling watches to satisfied customers after six years runs counter to your opinion. If the movements and cases were as bad as you say, word would have gotten out and they would have ceased production of watches. Instead they now employ more than 500 people and continue to bring new designs at various price points. I bought my first Shinola watch in 2015, it still looks great and keeps excellent time with the original battery. The build quality is top notch and I get compliments regularly when I wear it. I also just ordered a Detrola Model D 43mm to wear when my original blue-face watch isn't a good match for my clothes. So I am admittedly biased, but people seeing your video should know that there are plenty of Shinola watch owners like me who are very happy with the watches they have purchased. And for reference, I also own automatic watches from Seiko and Tag Heuer as well as a quartz movement Tissot. I like my Shinola as much as the others, and didn't hesitate when the Detrola caught my eye.

You literally didn’t give a reason why the watches suck, just some confusion about where/what they are made of.

Shinola replaced my leather watch band, worth 100 for free, and sent it to my doorstep. As it broke, I thought why not try and send them an email of the broken leather, worse they can say is no.

I won't knock the watch because I've never handled one...but on paper, for the specs involved, it does seem a bit pricey.

My very 1st watch was a Timex.I bought it when I was a paperboy + a Cub scout!

Thanks for saving me time (is money) cuz I was looking at a story about how Detroit is making a comeback depending on who you ask and of course the internet people kind of redirected me towards some company making watches using u.s. labour and Swiss parts. What could go wrong. So out of curiosity I googled Shinola, clicked on video tab and you kind but my head off for looking. Ok nibbled. Anyways to make a long story longer the time I saved was countered by this comment thanks again. Cheers Bill

I just love their design. I like to keep it simple. Not a watch connoisseur. Not going to any black tie events. So that being said, I like a decently priced watch that looks good.

I am not saying he is wrong but where are the Shinola watches he is critiquing? Pretty sure Shinola of any of its distributors would not allow this guy to disassemble a watch or watches without purchasing them! This man is clearly a connoisseur of fine watches that cost many times the price of a Shinola. Maybe the problem here is him and his expectations.

I have a shinola the I inherited from my father. The battery was replaced by shinola not long after purchase and it’s ready for another battery. Not impressed.

clean simple design, keeps excellent time, rugged sapphire crystal. Buy a sleeve of 5 batteries from Amazon for $5.49 and replace your own using regular small slotted screw driver - had 2 different jewelers tell me they didn't have the correct tool to open the case.

Good advice

I saw one of these in TJ Maxx or Marshalls on close out a while back. The retro-vintage cream dial and rounded polished case looked beautiful, but it was the wooden box it was in that really caught my eye. What a magnificent wooden box!! So I asked the clerk to open the display case so I could check out the booklet and see the price on the bottom of the box. 500 bucks for a quartz watch that I never heard of in TJ Maxx/Marshalls seemed ridiculous. I don't remember what the original price was, but the selling price was 500. If it was a mechanical, maybe. But Quartz? The box can't sell it. On the other hand. They're supposedly Swiss parts and assembled in the post-apocalyptic wasteland of Detroit. So omitting China from the equation must be very expensive.

I would've liked you to have on screen images of the watches for reference. Specifically why you didn't like them other than the movement.

I bought a real nice Runwell at the outlet store for $250 and love the watch. Very satisfied. Great style and very solid quality. Outlet store is the way to go.

I own a Sub c nd and a Panerai PAM 312 plus two Tags that my wife now wears, an Aquaracer and a Carrera. I am now currently trapped in watch limbo. I can't upgrade to an AP or PP, way beyond my budget. I'm definitely not downgrading to low tier brands (Longines, Ball etc.), more so fashion watches (Shinola, Ingersoll, TW Steel). Been there done that. I guess I'll be stuck with my crown and PAM, which is not a bad thing. I still look at other watches but have lost the desire (mainly because of financial limitations) to acquire newer pieces. I'm happy with what I have, I just never expected to hit a ceiling so soon in watch collecting.

I was a t a trade show, and I saw a guy with the new Erie Lake Monster on. I just said, "Hey, is that the new Shinola automatic?" He said, "Oh YEAH! Its the Lake NESS Monster!" I thought about correcting him, but...nah...not worth it

I think it’s all about style with quartzes since operation is all the same regardless of brand. But once you get into prices, I think it’s insulting what Shinola and other fashion brands charge people who don’t know better. Their automatics are going for over $1k retail...

I have several Shinolas, and they are my favorite watches that I own, I wear them more than any of m other watches. I have many more expensive watches, but the styling, quality and durability have sold me on the brand.

Shinola use Ronda movements.

the fake enthusiam and desperation at the start of this video explains it all

I understand your point in general but someone who enjoys good looking watches i had to add some shinola to my collection off visual appeal alone

You don’t spend hundreds or thousands on looks alone to add to your collection! Stand up ! Stick up for what you like and please don’t insult people’s intelligence by saying you added a crappy expensive watch because it looks good! If you like it you like it!

You should check out the Monster GMT . I came across one at a boutique, and I was blown away. I can’t get it out of my head . I think I will be buying a Shinola in the future.

There’s a company in Naugatuck Connecticut called Naugamatic that has there own branded submariner style watches. They look pretty good. Might be in house movements in them.

'Might be'...sounds legit

Ha! Pulling no punches. Refreshing

I visited a mante store that happened to be a shinola authorized dealer. so about 3 years ago and what caught my attention was it same made in America. so that caught my attention because all American companies have gone out of business decades ago. well I flip the back over and it said swiss movement so I gave it back. and went and drooled over the omega watches then I left 😂

I can't tell if Link is telling you to "calm down," or "tag me in!" I also can't tell if Link is a horological nod or a geek one.

I watched this then purchased a Shinola emediately after.

Wow, look at old school time teller.

I literally got not one informative reason on why it's a bad watch

Great vids on my bday!!

I received the Henry Ford pocket watch and was disappointed. It didn’t work and had a scratch. Got it back working and still scratched. Your critique needs more meat and potatoes. You are probably correct, however identity crisis is not on most peoples check list for purchases. Show us why they are junk.

Can I buy a Shinola belt?

Yes you can!

I love my Shinola, it’s a great watch. And I refuse to listen to snobs like this.

Copped one on ebay for $180 I think it's tremendous

Movado at least has made its mark on the watch world despite the fact they've made they're modem watches look more like shit. Shinola, not quite.

D-Swiss? Swisstroit?

Nice 1st base mitt 👍🏽

Shinola's a fucking joke - but, on the low, their gator straps are aces ;)

Hay man love the channel; thanks for the content. For what it’s worth, it’s better to be for something than against another. I try and support anyone who is willing to do anything US; even if it is for marketing. Buy Shinola, buy used omega on eBay either way it’s better to put the money in this economy & create these jobs. Look forward to future vids, see you soon
