    As a followup to the previous thread on iPhone 6S pictures I took some video on my Gemini 4, this watch gets worn and has never been polished so it has some surface scratches to the crystal and bracelet which can be seen in quite good detail. The first video is shot in 4K, you can bump the settings in youtube up to see it in full resolution full screen. The second is a 240fps slow motion shot of the chronograph ticking over the minute register, you can see the flicker of the 60hz LCD TV in the background flashing on the bracelet at that shutter speed.

    The slo-mo is cool!

    I wish I had a Zenith Striking 10th or a TAG Heuer Mikrotimer / Mikrogirder / Mikrograph to take a slow motion of that, the Speedy although pretty already ticks in slow motion compared to most watches lol

    It just happened to be the high-est beat watch I had at home, the 321s are even slower than the 1861

    Very cool.

    I suppose this is a significant improvement over the 5S (what I have, but am ready to change)?

    Hmmm, the non-slowmo video crashed my phone (iPhone 6 on iOS 8). So that's how they get you to upgrade!

    I've had a Mikrogirder on my wrist as it ran. It's much more fun to watch in real-time :)

    That's awesome, and to have that convenience available in your pocket is even more goodness. I've got no 4k screen available but even after pixel remapping and down conversion to a 1080p panel, it still looks great. :thumbsup:
