Just found your channel, thank you for your very thorough review of the watch. Hope to pick it up in 36 when it restocks. Also love that you cover all these different micros, keep it up!

I’ve been regretting badly not grabbing the meteorite dial version of this. Thanks for the video! You get so many pieces I’m interested in.

The meteorite was really lovely. It’s such a good pattern that lends to watches so well.

You give an amazing review! Bravo!

My absolute wish is that they do a commuter with a white dial and applied logo in 34mm

Hopefully one day!!

Excellent review! I agree that the 34 has a more elegant case with thinner, more attractive lugs and nicer chamfers. My favorite watch is my 36mm OP green dial, which has a far more elegant case than the Traska 36, the most comfortable and robust bracelet and a movement that keeps perfect time. However, there is no denying that the Traska offers a tremendous amount of value for one tenth the price of the Rolex.

I have the 38mm version of this watch and really enjoy it. I agree about the button for the micro adjust, it’s really hard to push. That and the legibility (I had to expect this, getting the mint green dial - it doesn’t contrast well with the hands) are my only 2 gripes. Overall a great watch.

The same style micro adjust on my San Martin is overly stiff as well. Prefer the on the fly microadjust from the older CWs, a few Zelos with the ones that required a nail to pull out. The best one is the microadjust on my Artelier Wen though, super nice.

I was really tempted by this watch, but after much deliverance I went for a Tissor PRX 35mm in the end. I still like this though, such a beautiful watch.

That's a great color. Almost Celadon? Thanks for a great review (and the watchouts!)

I’m really surprised by the faults. I’ve heard Traska trumps all its competitors in regard to quality control. I’m so glad you called it out.

Definitely nothing too drastically wrong here but there is always room from improvement

I’ve had a hard to push micro adjust of this style on a different watch and it got easier to use after a month of intermittent wear. BTW, I have loved what Traska has been doing for some time, however, for me, at this price range, I tend to sacrifice specs for brand and history and go for the likes of Hamilton, Tissot, Seiko, etc.

Hope that the micro adjust also loosens here! It is interesting to hear that some will look over what’s best on paper to go towards something more proven. Not something I’ve considered but there’s a reason the big boys are around

Would love to see your take on the new San Martin SN0129 3 hander and how it stacks up against micro brands like Traska.. They just released it and a lot of people say it's their best one yet. The specs and quality for $220 look amazing.

I can definitely say that this Traska is made by the same manufacturer as Henry Archer Watches. Same bracelet, case, markers, crown. All with just minor tweaks.

To be fair I think traska came first 😂 but I get you. I’m sure microbrands share parts because only so many factories make them.

But every single time I check those are sold out

They do sell pretty quick. Recommend to follow their instagram or sign up for the newsletter

This watch grow on me and is now my daily driver. The one thing that´s keep bothering me is the text ´TRASKA´ on the dial, it looks just cheap 🤷 It´s a combination of the word Traska and the font they used 🤢 on the other hand I love the ´flower´ on the dial, crown and clasp 👌🏻

They're all out of stock, Commuter 36 or 38 or Venturer

Ya to be fair took me a bit to get this review out. But they will restock undoubtedly. Just don’t know how soon!

My only issue is that it's too close to the OP.
