Ressence Type 1s and Type 8

[sinkholeninja]

Does anyone have either of the two references and if so, what has been your experience with them? I love the look of Ressence watches and especially appreciate the engineering that went into their ROCS system, but the only thing that slightly bothers me is 1 ATM water-resistance, making the watch essentially splash resistant only. Keen to hear your thoughts.

My brother has the type 1 red and other than an issue with magnetization, he’s had no issues. Very cool watches. Prefer type 1 aesthetics to type 8.

Thanks for your input. Was the issue with magnetisation solved by Ressence?

I imagine the magnetism issue could be solved by a cheap watch de-magnetizer from Amazon. It’s happens to many watches at one point or another (except the Milgauss I suppose). Really like mine

AD was able to demagnetize.

One question actually; has 1 ATM waterproof rating been a hindrance in regular, daily use?

Good to know, thanks.

Cool watches. I have never seen a red one before.

It’s the most legible watch I own. People tend to love them or hate them (the hate is usually based on the price point for a highly modified ETA movement) but I really became attached and waited until the right one came along at reduced price.

I was very impressed with everything except the prices.

I would have bought one but not for what they are asking.

Whats watch magnetism?

Magnetic field of every day gadgets (e.g. smart phones, computers etc.) can sometimes interfere with internal components of watches (e.g. hairspring) by magnetising them and thus making the watch run incorrectly. Some manufacturers are better at tackling this problem (e.g. Rolex) than others, by using components that are highly resistant to magnetism (e.g. Rolex Parachrom hairspring).

Quick update; I ended up buying Ressence Type 8 and couldn’t be happier with the choice 😁
