A Modern Type B that challenges luxury watches - Wise Flyboy

Dave !

Just caught the last three minutes...thanks!

I know times are changing.(BUT). 2 or 3 years ago this was a 100$ watch. Love you show.

I like the Wise brand watches because of their lume.

Remove " Flyboy" and "Automatic", this watch will be clean with no day/date. Or remove all that and replace "WISE" with the company Logo.

I really like this one! I do like the Laco, but this one is not so huge! (and a bit more modern take)

Beautiful 🤯

That’s a good looking watch Dave. Thanks for a solid review.

good looking watch

I've been waiting for this review. Thank you!

Way too much font on dial, it cheapens the aesthetic unnecessarily
A bit small for a pilots watch
Gap between end of strap and case looks clumsy

Very promising design for very small wrists
Great crown size to case ratio
Other than all the writing on the dial, it’s a very nice watch face

I agree on all counts, the strange font kind of ruins it for me.

Not bad at all. I have looked at several Wise watches while in Thailand, but there is always something that holds me back. Not a fan of the Flyboy or Hitman names and I wish they would use their logo instead of "WISE" printed on the dial.

There's a new Seiko 5 released

Dave; Great Review. I love this Type B Wise Flyboy although I want a date window Need your help, I like the Wise Fly Boy with calendar or the Seiko SPB 155/157/159. Also would thrown in the Hamilton Khaki King. Please help this addict who just started to collect.

Very nice, I don't normally like the type b dials, personal preference has always been the A dial. But the design size and legibility is on point. Nice dial size it seems and good balance between polish and brush.

Almost beats the Laco...almost...

wise lol flyboy lol like what is this company thinking lol

Don't understand the fascination with Nazi watches, but whatever...

Great looking watch, but wish there was fewer text... the dial looks great as is.

At £550 it is a luxury watch

Excellent review Dave. Great specs..11mm thick 👍 Hand set very nice. I am in agreement with you and most everyone here. No lettering would be better. All it needs is a good logo.

Right on the cusp of greatness but the price and billboarding are just a bit too much for me.

I’d sooner buy the Laco. It does have heritage and history.

I agree looks a great quality watch but too much information in the dial is annoying.

Nice, but I’d still take the Laco I think…

To much text remove Wise flyboy Automatic just have a logo size is to small 50mm for flieger watch 😊

The word flyby is not necessary,ruins the look.

Great review Dave! Your camera work os impressive.

Laco for the Cessna during the week, Wise for the Gulfstream at the weekend.

This multi-color, multi-texture dial emphasizes the superior "Type-B" dial concept. Excellent. If I were designing the handset, I would extend them perhaps 1mm to take the hands to the rings rather than just before and pointing to the rings. I like my Type-B Laco, but this is a great alternative! Good vid. Keep at it!

I ordered my ADX GMT more than a month ago. Order is still “Unfullfilled”. I’m starting to worry a little, not gonna lie.

Really beautiful but I wish they had a bigger model as well.

Hi, I'm sorry, but fleager watches are not over sized, they are tool watches and made in the size for optimum visibility, this contemporary take is the one that is undersized to acommodate people who think "I can´t pull of a 43mm". We love to say that watches are tools, but then ask "¿can you make a smaller tool?"., for me it´s almost like "I love Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen, but, can you make it in red so it will match my living room". Greetings from MX.

I love Wise but this has the vaguely cartoonist looks I usually associate with Avi-8.

So Rolex is really only worth $500 bucks

That speck of fiber under the "automatic" on the dial would make me crazy.

Awesome watch. Love Flieger watches. Let’s do another live stream! It’s been a year+

I really like it but I think I would go for a Laco for the heritage it has

Why don't you return the watch and be completely independent?

Very attractive watch. I would say in a way it is better than the original type-B, especially on legibility
