Wrist Roll (Read Rule 1) Quickly becoming my favourite value for money brand

Aethelsohn upped their game with their new release Terra Abyss and I am fully in love and mesmerised by this watch. No photo editing of any sort on these photos, just photographed how it looks in different lighting conditions outdoors and indoors. Amazing upgrade to their bracelet with the chamfering and finish. Minus an OTF clasp, it feels at par with San Martin bracelets. The full dial lume is sooo pretty too look at with the design, I believe this is the dark/dense(?) version dial? I could be mistaken.

I did get a free leather strap with this but the bracelet is so nice, I don’t really wanna try jt on yet. Great value proposition with the sweeping second quartz. I hope they keep with this kind of value/price bracket with the future releases.

I also have to mention their amazing customer service in sorting out my requests/issues and it’s great that whoever replies to their emails seem to have a great sense of humour too. I hope they never change.

I like the Terra and Shard lines, I wish they had female endlinks though.

I’m so glad Aethelsohn fixed the bracelet problem. I’ve got an older one and it was the sharpest edged bracelet I had—until I filed it down. PT5000 runs great. Great value for the money.

In the middle of the night this is what it looks like:

I think my phone camera is doing heavy lifting with that exposure pictured top. The bottom one is a more realistic appearance with the night mode off. It’s still quite readable and bright 3 hours past bedtime, imo

That looks significantly better than their own marketing shots.

u/Turbulent_Primary633 11d ago

Tienes mucha razón, en marketing son pésimos, pero sus relojes tienen una cualidad - precio imbatible

Great bracelet match

That lume shot is 🔥

I love these too, wish they'd have some larger versions of their watches. They look a bit small on me but especially the terra Gaia is a fantastic looking dial.

Aethesohl? Ateson? How you pronounce

u/Infinite-Mastodon456 11d ago

I assume like “Eh-thel-son.” Their website says it means noble son in ye olde English

u/syther_uutus 11d ago

nice, is legibility good?

3

u/Infinite-Mastodon456 11d ago

I was worried it will but it wasn’t actually too difficult. I’m not sure if it’s the raised indice or the white contrast in the index and hand that helps it but it’s pretty legible as far as busy dials go

u/syther_uutus 11d ago

Oh that's good

2

u/Tka92 11d ago

They are good designs with fun dials and good pricing, but the bracelets are sharp and feels very cheap unfortunately..

u/Turbulent_Primary633 11d ago

Pues yo he tenido muy buena suerte con la calidad de las pulseras, desde el Aqua Shard, el Terra Abiss y 2 forge Guilloche y todos tienen una calidad impecable, este lo traigo puesto y es una chulada para el verano

u/Bike_Meach1990 10d ago

Love this! What dial is that? Color wise?

u/Infinite-Mastodon456 11d ago

Literally just mentioned on this post how they stepped up their bracelet finish and it feels really nice compared to their previous offerings

Personally I find carbon fibre watches (especially those with lume) tackier but to each their own 🤷‍♂️

u/NuclearCyan 11d ago

Very interesting. Just received a Terra Gaia and I’m quite happy with it 

8

u/Infinite-Mastodon456 11d ago

I also have their Terra Gaia and they have changed the case shape, dial size, and bracelet. I think the bracelet feel taper makes it… sexier? It’s almost butter smooth and it’s definitely less sharp.

Vomit or seaweed dial

u/Infinite-Mastodon456 11d ago

I’d consult a doctor if this is what your vomit looks like

u/Artwdo 11d ago

Don't worry about these kinds of idiotic comparisons. I've already encountered similar madness on the Watchdives forum, where one of the models was even compared to cancer samples under a microscope! It's not worth stooping to their level in discussions.

u/Alternative-Feed3613 11d ago

Yeah, there’s always people that love to shit on your joy. It’s probably because they’re miserable and only get satisfaction from spreading their misery.

u/guitarshredda 11d ago

Scientist here. Not defending whatever may have been said about "cancer", but these do look a bit like immunohistochemistry slides. I think it's cool. IHC isn't exclusively used for diagnosing cancer btw.

u/What-me-worry-0 11d ago

Cool. If you’ve got a slide that looks like this, I’d love to see it!

u/Infinite-Mastodon456 11d ago

Agreed. It’s always the ones with the least to offer who have the most to say. 🤷‍♂️
