Only nitpick I have is the butterfly clasp and I feel it's a bit overpriced. My experience with butterfly clasp without half links is they either fit too loose or too tight and that can be a dealbreaker because comfort is everything. Great review though. Your videos are always spot on.

Thank you very much! For sure, butterfly clasps can make or break them. Love the look but it only gets you so far if they don't fit to preference. Relatively light ones like this are at least generally more forgiving if only a smidge too loose. Cheers

Great review, thanks for the feedback 🙂

Thank you very much for the kind words and support! The new orange and green look great! Bold and vibrant, but still with class. Cheers

At 649usd this seems pretty convincing. I've seen a few reviews now and somehow I may now think this black is actually perhaps the cleaner of the three and therefore preferable. In both the silver and blue it slightly bugged me that the lines of the dial create small mismatches with the minute markers. On this, I barely noticed it. That could mean I was led by macros too much before, or it could be that the black colourway downplays this aspect of the design. I'm also more impressed with the bracelet in your video than I was before. The elements I dislike go to the slightly overly long lugs, but I would actually forgive that as it works in balance on this watch overall. I'm less forgiving with the very straight up side case. It may be only 10.6mm, but visually it doesn't look that elegantly thin, which is a pity. The changing finish isn't enough. It makes me wish they went with a slightly bulging side case or simply a sharper cut into the caseback. That's all just to slim down or make that side a bit more interesting than a straight vertical. Still, it's not bad and the fact of 10.6mm will never make it a thick watch. I then come to the step lip or whatever we call it at the bracelet endlink and that is one aspect that I do think is genuinely rather ugly. It seems unnecessary and certainly doesn't add anything to the watch. It's really a dislike and one I don't get. Naturally others might be biggen by very different things, and such is life. Generally this one keeps convincingly me a little bit more every time I see it, so it's a recommendable watch in this space, which means an alternative for things like and Aqua Terra, which I think is a style this truly has covered, forgiving the lack of ultimate refinement and movements prowess for the price. I'm not sure, however, if it would translate into a love for the watch. I would love to see Tusenö take on an integrated bracelet too, with some of the flair of the Shellback and some of the confident ans tasteful restraint of the Windseeker.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts! The black was initially third on my list of preferences, but I too came to really like and potentially prefer it over the others. The mid-case profile along with the full polishing are two things I wouldn't be opposed to updates either, though I didn't find either to be bothersome. And I'm with you on the end links visually. Minor item but it breaks up some of the clean flow of the design. I'm looking forward to seeing their next offerings. Cheers

@@JonathanTReviews I handt really noticed either thing until your footage and then you picked up the endlinks specifically yourself. Should be resolvable. Surely they would have noticed it too. I like the downturn so whatever they consider, they should get rid of that flow. I don't mind polish either. Applied like this, the Windseeker case and lugs remind me of the Oris Big Crown Pointer Date a bit. They too have large polished side slabs, but somehow they seem to wear it prouder? I should study the construction differences a bit more.

This is a very beautiful and elegant looking sports watch! It looked delicate next to the DRZ 04, and this is definitely not a beefy watch as well. Now that I've seen the subtle sunburst I would probably go for this black one. By the way in this dial pattern I see theater drapes! 😄

I think so too! I agree, I was surprised when I saw them side-by-side (though I'll admit the DRZ04 is still one of my absolute favorite watches). The subtle sunburst is such a brilliant addition and the entire black dial really won me over. That's too funny 😁 This dial pattern is turning into a regular Rorschach test with the things people are seeing 😂 Cheers

Great offering but a strap option would have been nice. Not that we can't shop ourselves, but could drop the price a tad and show that they know not everyone is gonna get a good fit with that butterfly

Always good to have options. I personally always choose the bracelet option (easier to add straps) but definitely wish they would offer some kind of link adjustment option (half, 3/4, etc.). Cheers

I really like my Windseeker; the only negative has been the bracelet. It is either too tight or loose; a half link would definitely fix this. For now I’ve been using a Watch Steward strap instead.

@JonathanTReviews

Absolutely, a half link would be great and help to reduce the roll of the dice. Cheers

Awesome review. I think with some half links and no date window (or at least a better executed date window), this watch would've been unbeatable for the price point.

Thank you very much! Agreed, those would both be welcome changes on an already really solid offering. Cheers

Nice review Jonathan, I have the silver dial Windseeker and suggest not to sell it short. Omega pulls off silver dials and so does Tuseno. Contrast and legibility are no problem and the silver dial, markers, hands, benzel and case provide a unique look you probably don’t have in your watch box. On the bracelet it is a sporty look and pair the watch with a high-quality leather strap and put on your tux. The bracelet finishing, however, falls short. The center links and outer links have different thicknesses. Without chamfering or extra polishing, you can really feel sharp edges. It is a notable detriment to the overall brilliant execution of the Windseeker. Thank you for your content. Much enjoyed!

Thank you so much for the support and sharing your thoughts! I too am fond of each colorway. Very different looks and feels. I thankfully didn't notice the sharpness but agree bracelet refinement could take this one to another level. Cheers

Really great looking watch, but I`ve noticed an issue with the date window on several videos and photos - you can see the next date characters in the top right corner of the date window, but for some pieces, it is not the case, I believe that it is date wheel alignment issue, or it was pre-production samples. It is small detail, but really annoying(((
