Momentum Sea Quartz 30 Magnum thoughts
I just got this in today. So far I am liking it. I have not checked out the lume yet. My only minor quibbles is it comes on some cheap ass quick release spring bars. They do not fill the strap hole completely so there is some movement. I cut out the qr's and installed regular spring bars. But the spring bar hole on the strap is larger than 2.0mm so it still has some play . And 2.5mm is to thick. Kind of weird. Strap is really soft, Super surprised how soft it is. But it might end up on a BC 295.
I am digging the classic look of the watch. One of favorite case designs for sure. Hopefully the bezel movement breaks in soon.
Definitely worth the asking price imo.

Re: Momentum Sea Quartz 30 Magnum thoughts
Looks great T!
I haven’t ever had a strap with quick release bars. Do you trust them?

They come on the Hirsch Pure as well and the first thing I do is take them out and put in regular bars.gonzomantis wrote: ↑Fri Feb 10, 2023 5:49 amLooks great T!

Looks like a nice addition to the collection Terry. The paddle hands definitely have that old school look!

Looking forward to getting mine

Looks great! Figure mine will be a surprise. I’m in the second round May/June I think? I’ll forget about it by then

Re: Momentum Sea Quartz 30 Magnum thoughts
Thanks Hoppy. You son needs one.
Thanks Matt.
Absolutely not. I have seen some nicer quality ones but they are not super common. So I will pass on them.Chocodove wrote: ↑Fri Feb 10, 2023 5:56 amThey come on the Hirsch Pure as well and the first thing I do is take them out and put in regular bars.gonzomantis wrote: ↑Fri Feb 10, 2023 5:49 amLooks great T!

Thanks brother. It has some killer OG vibes.
Brice after a day of wearing it the strap isn't for me. The tail won't stay in the keepers and the movement in the spring bars are annoying. But I really like the watch.
It isn't a show stopper, so waiting isn't a big deal. But it will be a cool grab and go.
Hopefully it will be sooner for you.Honeybadger wrote: ↑Fri Feb 10, 2023 3:37 pmLooks great! Figure mine will be a surprise. I’m in the second round May/June I think? I’ll forget about it by then

Mike they have been around a long time. They make one of the better affordable pieces in the watch game imo. That link you posted looks great!Wario406 wrote: ↑Fri Feb 10, 2023 3:40 pmCongrats T. That’s sharp.

Re: Momentum Sea Quartz 30 Magnum thoughts
The company is actually St. Moritz dba Momentum Watches. They are a local (to me) company, based out of Vancouver. The staff there are great, I pop in all the time - excellent customer service. Simon and his brother owned Chronosport back in the day.Wario406 wrote: ↑Fri Feb 10, 2023 3:40 pmCongrats T. That’s sharp.

Re: Momentum Sea Quartz 30 Magnum thoughts
Yeah, very nice Terry ! A MAGNIFICENT Momentum congrats here !!!
And you know I was thinking sir, that a watch is really pretty impressive
when the only real drawback is the spring bars. That is really saying
saying something because it’s actually separate from the watch itself,
and can be remedied as you already did. And the bezel definitely is
something that will move better over time, so that’s not a big issue
either. ..So basically you are left with a great looking watch that
does everything it is supposed to which is make you smile, and also
tell you the time, all while looking ultra cool doing it.
I don’t think you could ask for a nicer looking watch sir. It’s a real
no holds barred, tour de force of coolness. AND it’s so reasonably
priced at the end of the day, which is yet another plus here Terry !

Re: Momentum Sea Quartz 30 Magnum thoughts
I love that.
it's not identical to anything else out there... which is a huge box tick for me.
Spring bars? If that's all that's an issue... then you got a good one.
Wear it in good health. Lovely watch.

Re: Momentum Sea Quartz 30 Magnum thoughts
Mine arrived today. I like it, but there’s a crack in the bezel insert. I emailed them. Let’s see how the CS is.

I hope so. I’m not surprised it was damaged considering how it was packaged.

That sucks Chris. Hopefully they will resolve it asap. I've been on the fence about ordering one.

Re: Momentum Sea Quartz 30 Magnum thoughts
Do you know if it was shipped from Vancouver, BC or from Utah Chris? I picked mine up, they sized the bracelet and gave me an extra strap. I've known the guys there for decades, let me know if you want me to chat with them...odd that they would have packed it poorly!
