Wow! I just started watching your videos, and I love the anti-bullshit attitude. You earned yourself a sub friend lmao. But just out of curiosity, how do you feel about Movado's? I've been thinking about it and I feel like I'd like your opinion on them. Thanks!
Man... Don't get me started on Movado. You won't like me when I'm angry.
The Time Teller
You are the best im 13 years old. Im spanish and I live in Valencia you're my idol.
idol???
The Time Teller Movado used to make some beautiful unique timepieces if you are willing to reach back to the 1950s. The Calendomatic for example.
Hah, on the contrary, I don't know any of your subs that WON'T like you when you're angry ;)
But I feel that, most of the movado's are pretty trash, but I really only like the original 38mm black museum dial, with the case in silver lmao
i like how he loves his watches regardless of prices
Generally, that’s all watch enthusiasts. The stereotypical (to an outsider) “watch lover” who frowns upon anything less than $10k is actually frowned upon by true enthusiasts. True watch enthusiasts would wear a 13 dollar Casio one day and a Rolex the next.
Thoroughly enjoyed the video. I just purchased a Seiko "Save The Ocean" watch a few days ago and I'm looking for videos that show how the strap is adjusted for size. Thanks for the great service that you offer!

My two sons have shown an interest in watches and now I have a good shopping list for Christmas! I would compliment anyone wearing any of the watches that you displayed! Great job!
1 - 1:41
2 - 2:44
3 - 4:03
Bonus 3 picks, 3 good watches under $1000:
1- Dress Watch - 6:02
2 - Sport Watch - 7:07
3 - Everday Watch - 8:05
This is what makes watches so fascinating. I had that Cartier tank, but the Vermeil flaked off. It was nice when it was new. I bought my son a Seiko Tuna, and he loves it. I’ve owned three Rolexes, two of them Subs. All sold. To me, Rolex is a fine $3500 watch that costs you $10K. LOL
Your affordable 3 choices are perfect. Most video creators would try to mix it up with diff brands just for the sake of having multiple brands - but it’s true that Seiko just excels in every category for great value watches.
Super cool! The three Watch collection I own is very similar. I have a SARB035, SARB017, and an SRP777.
+Nathan Gilmer can't go wrong with those! Love the alpinist.
Nathan Gilmer SPR777 is a nice watch, it's basically the same watch martin sheen wore in Apocalypse Now but only upgraded.
Sarb035 is awesome
No SKS ?
That cocktail time tho. I need that watch in my life.
Seiko skx: Beater& vacation
Junghans Max Bill 38mm: Work & dress
Omega Speedmaster: everyday
Awesome choices
I wear my Speedy everyday for everything and it always seems to be appropriate - but I do like all of your suggestions here.
literally my 3 choices as well
@@richardmasters8424 My perfect two watch collection, Omega Speedmaster, Omega Aqua Terra (silver dial)
My highly affordable 3-watch collection (in no particular order): Seiko 5; Vostok Amphibia; Casio G-Shock 5600.
Does the Vostok scratch easily? I like them as a fun watch but the info states that they use an acrylic instead of glass
@@thulegezelschap5884 The Vostok can pick up scratches, but if they are not too deep, easily buffed out with a microfiber cloth and any mildly abrasive product. I have used toothpaste, Brasso, automotive chrome cleaner and polishes, Scratch-X, all with success.
We bought a cocktail time for my dad’s birthday last year. He wears it daily :)
I'm happy to just buy 3 different f91w's... that sub is beautiful though!
I'm partial to GMT watches personally -- these provide an extra level of practical due to that 4th hand. After all, given that the primary function of a watch should be to tell time, having the ability to simultaneously track 2 (or 3 even) time zones makes these watches 2-3x more useful.
I think they look nice too!
I combined the two: three watches that I own, and I paid $1000 for the three...
Orient Bambino, Seiko Alpinist, Christopher Ward Trident Quartz. Bought all new, but on sale.
+A Leone very cool.
Just got a Mako, had to try it for $160. Very very impressive for so cheap with hand winding! I measured 2 sec fast/day! And amazing power reserve! Love the lume too!
Eddie Isaacs - I've been very impressed with Orient. My son has an Orient Star that's quite nice. However, our boy Jory is not sold on the Mako. When he meets one face to face maybe he'll change his mind.
there must be a reason why they are so successful and so highly regarded. I just hope the hands don't fall off lol It won't be around long enough to find out. I have decided to part ways with it, it just won't get enough wrist time here, but I had a ball with it for just a few pesos. And I may revisit. Orient Star, their higher level, seem interesting. This made me take note... wornandwound.com/review/orient-star-classic-review/
A Leone i
I'm in Kenya the prices get high when the watches reach here...
I'm watching this on my coronavirus day weekend. It's a Tuesday.
Ah the old Mr. Goodman!!
What movement is used on the first Seiko you displayed ("cocktail Seiko")? I could not see the number of jewels. Otherwise, I'd probably be able to tell. Thanks
Does the Orient Ray (or Mako) stack up to the Seiko SKX007?
Good collection under 500:
Orient ray 2
G-shock (the $40 one)
Orient bambino
Today’s video is sponsored by Seiko
Caption on :- psycho 😅
Seiko and Casio, have earned their place in the watch wolrd, they aren't so popular without a reason! Rolex, Pateks , Jacobs, all are great watches, but these kind of watches are only good for keeping them in a safe as jewels. Seikos, are the way to go, for a good battery trouble free, lifetime watch!!
Seiko is like Heineken beer, its technically ok, but a Belgium cloister brown beer is so much tsstier.
right behind his head. lol
Great review and to the point👍 what’s there not to like about Seikos. What do you think the Seiko 5 sports pieces- would be great to see a review in the future
Great stuff as always, and agree on the SKX017, such a bargain!
1:39 you're welcome :-)
My budget collection would be a Seiko SRP777 (which I own and love w/ that 007 NATO strap), SARB035, and Casio GShock DW5600. I don't know how you feel about digital quartz watches but IMHO some GShocks deserves respect.
LOVE THE TURTLE!
I agree with the SKX. Although the Orient Bambino may need a shout out in the mix for a dress watch under 1000. And maybe the Hamilton Khaki field watch.
+Tracy H Both great options.
I love the bambino to, but something about my dress watch being "technically" the lowest end of the three doesn't sit right. Darn better make it a 4 piece ;1
How would you compare these Seiko-s to Vostok or Poljot - especially Komandirskye, Amphibia or Aviator - all of them with maltreatment resistant and accurate automatic movements?
Citizen Echo drive x3. Best watch for the buck.
Eco-Drive
Ah the lack of taste
@@JoshPendergrassFilms You are an idiot.
@@JoshPendergrassFilms that's just your opinion, I for one have both Citizen and Rolex watches. Completely different leagues, the Rolex watches are pretty nice but with the Citizen I'm never worried about damaging it or beating it up and enjoy wearing it just as much. At the end of the day you are paying over the odds for a Rolex, but it is what it is.
@@EyeInTheSkypaulmcmenamin just goofin mostly man, I have 2 citizens and just don’t care much for em, look and feel cheap, dont hold time very well.
I love the marine master
but if i am to get a dedicated sports watch that doesn't break the bank, I'd probably get the ECO-Zilla. its solar powered, its 300m water resist, it has iincredible wrist precense and the design is just as gaudy, though also as lovable as the MM. i mean it looks like a diver helm!!!! a nautilus!!! ( not to be confused about the Patek Naut obviously )
respectable choices though, but wouldve loved it more if you added some "other options" in case its not availabe in certain countries. I.E. the all of the ones you recommended arent readiily available here in Canada, so it wouldve been the
Orient Bambino for dress
Hamilton Khaki for sports
Citizen Ecozilla for sports Recreational
or if you're extra cheap - Invicta Pro diver cause why the fuck not, its acutally a great watch for the price.
Alba watches of sriko are also good looking.
i have an 8.5 inch wrist...could you point me in the direction of some brands that might make bracelets and or bands for larger wrists. thanks
Great video man, I love your enthusiasm great selections
Rolex Explorer no date 39mm - in my opinion, this is most beautiful watch ever made.
Seiko SKX007/009 - diver, beater, everyday watch, demands and earns respect, no nonsense watch. Nuf said!
Omega Speedmaster Professional MOM - Perfect watch for every occasion, very versatile and iconic.
The watches I currently own happen to be exactly at the $1000 mark:
Seiko 5 SNZG13 - everyday beater watch
Christopher Ward C5 Malvern 595 - dress watch
Seiko skx007 - sports watch
Great watch the SKX007, I brought the Japanese domestic version last year it's still in it's box.
I have been pining over the Tuna for a year now. Love that watch!
One year later... and you need to update this to include a citizen 😁
I'll keep my Brietling thank you
Great videos man! Talking about watch collections, what's the state of your watch collection? Which ones are your keepers?
Great vid bro real content....Trinidad tuned in...keep up the great job...
I would go Omega speedmaster, Rolex GMT master II and Seiko SKX007
Where did you get your SKX print behind you? I must have one!
nine37 , thank me later.
+Tom S true
I’m new to watches and was thinking about getting that seiko skx007 but I see there different skx007 like the skx007k2 the skx007k1 and skx007kd which model is that one?
I usually buy my dress watches fairly inexpensively and in quartz because I almost never wear them and just want to pull them out and for them to tick. Right now I'm using a Bulova Precisionist that I bought from a jeweler half price, it looks good and, most importantly, is slim enough to wear under my shirt cuffs (plus it is super accurate). Alongside that I'd include my Seiko Prospex Samurai Orange and my 10-15 year old Tissot PRS 200 that I picked up for 150 from a pawn shop to round out the top three. Considering the Samurai is the most expensive of the three, I think I did pretty well.
personally I would swap the SKX for the turtle. I love my skx but it doesn't get much wrist time with my turtle still ticking.
+Brian C Love the turtle.
Turtle PADI, I own one, the dial on that is spectacular, but the Blue Lagoon model is breath taking, but so is the jacked up price on that model.
Turtle all the way.
You had me at Alpinist.
+Namesi Ayyyy good taste
To each their own. Love Seiko, but that green and gold combo is something straight out of the 1970's.
Green is for the money, gold is for the honeys.
70s? Try 40s - 50s
Names
You should get a Tank Solo or a solid gold Tank Louis. The must de Cartier lose it's lustre too soon, like your Tank where the gold plating started to wear off unevenly on the case
Hi. I just came across your site and enjoyed your reviews on Dive watches. I have a question. I have a Bulova Oceanographer Automatic Waterproof 666 feet 3-366016 N2. I bought it, I believe'in 1969 and have been wearing it every day since.I was 13 years old and had to save for a long time to save up the $125.00 to buy it. It still works great and has only been cleaned once. It looks almost the same as the Bulova Oceanographer Snorkel 666 feet. Can you tell me any thing about it?
Thanks...Peter
You are a serious Seiko nut. Another great video bud
+Dave Mckenzie guilty as charged 😂 thank you!
Great vid. Only critique? Could of put a Swiss in the affordable. Maybe a Hamilton field watch or a Tissot .
Love the Hammy Field watch.
I love your watch choices, but I LOVE your executive pen! (BTW, new subscriber here, bud!)
Pretty much how my collection would look like, but slightly different and more affordable.
Dress: 1965 Doxa
Sport: Casio DW5000SL
daily wear: Seiko SNX111
Wearing my Alpinist while watching this vid :)
+KillerQueen Great choice;)
The Time Teller It's my first watch, I recently got into watches a few months ago and I'm 15
That's an ultimate watch collection on its own, phenomenal iconic watch
My 3 budget picks would be the Orient Bambino, Seiko SNKL23, and Orient Ray 2 or SKX007/009. A total of less than $500. Lol
And what is wrong with that?
Hi thanx for good content! do you were i can buy secondhand Seiko watches (no vintage).
Was curious where you got your Seiko outline design poster?
I much prefer the cheaper collection of watches over the more expensive trio.
Mububban23 o
I would take the "cocktail time" over the Tank for sure, but its more a function of my wrist making the Cartier look like a ladies watch. Iconic design, but not practical for me.
We all knew that the affordable ones would be seiko
This is a perfectly measured three watch collection vid. Subscribed!!
Having to deal with carrying a cell phone and a synched smart phone (duplicate expenses and attention grabbers) is a problem I want to avoid. The Timex Ironman Data Link USB watch was like a beeper to your cell in that you could synch your Outlook calendar and contacts which came in handy if you misplaced, left behind, or didn't want to reference your cell phone.
Are there watches that still do (only) that (Personal Digital Assistant)?
None float my boat. It's all personal I guess
Shout out to the Orient M Force Beast and Vostok Amphibia.
Against some not so great reviews, I bought a Seiko sgg711. Was wondering if you are familiar, and what your thoughts are on it.
You're like a vintage Federico Talks Watches. Good work sir
+Jeffrey Fox Thanks man!
Too 3 watch collection
1. $20 ,metal casio watch
2. $800, Casio/solar gps watch
3. Free, a sun dial.
just wondering for some one who loves watches i have a low budget of £100
what watch would you suggest
i like sport watches that i can wear for any occasions
Victorinox. Swiss Army in some markets. Have one I have used and abused in the field for years.
I have three watches that I was able to squeeze under $1000 that can rival it. I got my SKX 013 for $150 (Dive/Sport), Hamilton Khaki Mechanical for a steal at $200 (Everyday/Field), and a stunning Stowa Marine Klassik for $650 (Dress/Casual). I also love that they are all made in different countries.
Great video as always and great choices!
My affordable collection would contain the:
SARB033 (tried on the cocktail, too thick for my taste)
SRP777 (better movement and finishing then the SKX007)
F-91W (don't like the green on the SARB017, and you always need a watch that can take a beating)
+Chester Lau the srp777 is an awesome watch. Great taste as always, Chester!
Skx007, Rolex sub, omega seamaster, Rolex Daytona, omega speed master
Rolex Deep Sea, Tudor Black Bay.
Hamilton Khaki, Fortis Flieger Professional and for the cheapest choice one of my favourite Seiko SNZG series
Appreciate your channel, new sub here. My three would be the Orient Bambi v3 with the blue dial, Seiko SNZGJ1 w/SS bracket and your Seiko SKX. I love your Cartier Tank btw. It was the unique face that did it for me. Thank you for the vid.
Great video and six great picks. Seiko are the tops for value.
My 3 picks from my own collection would be.....
Oris 65
Omega Speedmaster Reduced
Sinn 104.
For the under 1000....
Seiko Turtle SRP 777
Seiko Sarg 011
Seiko Aplinist.
+mike o connor Good taste!
That's basically what I would go for, but would swap the Sinn for something dressier - either an Omega Constellation Vintage or some Zenith Elite... Or if I had some serious cash a Blancpain? So many great dress watches to choose from.
I would love to keep the Alpinist and ad a Datejust though... That goes to 5, I guess, so cheating a bit.
A caveman wearing a Cartier haha
Calling him caveman is an overstatement lol maybe primate
That watch would look absurd on him for sure. It has a very feminine presence.
I got my Seiko The Great Blue kinetic about 8 years ago now, to replace my beaten up Seiko 5 automatic. And I haven't really wanted anything else since. Maybe one day, when (if) I get rich, I can get myself an elegant skeleton tourbillon.
My 3 are:
Sports: Omega Planet Ocean 42mm (220151)
Dress: Rolex oyster perpetual date , stainless steel in White with the fluted bezel
Everyday: Seiko Alpinist (also in green but with a Hearst pilot strap)
My bonus: 1973 Seiko single barrel chronograph. Made in the original Nagano factory. (This was handed down to me by pops who was a sailor for 42 years and picked it up new in Japan. Lots of scratches from working on ship engines in the middle of the ocean. Miss that guy...)
You need a casio too!!!!
You don't need a dress watch if you slum it 24/7/365 lol
BTW, I need your opinion, a metal band tri-fold one-touch watch that meets everyday hand-washing, an ocassional splash in the pool, simple black dial and most of all under $100. Is that a crazy demand ?
Does anyone know where I could buy that Cartier watch? The first one ,please help
www.tourneau.com/watches/brands/cartier/#prefn1=collection&prefv1=Tank%20Americaine%7CTank%20Anglaise%7CTank%20Francaise%7CTank%20Louis%20Cartier%7CTank%20MC%7CTank%20Solo&prefn2=gender&prefv2=Men%27s&lastOpenedTab=3
I disagree with the best sports watch. IMHP the Omega Seamaster Professional watch. It is affordable on the used market.
Rolex Explorer 214270 and Omega Seamaster, my two favs all day long !
Hey man love your channel! You have a lot of charisma :). Just out of curiosity, what is your opinion of the Spinnaker Fleuss Automatic? It seems like a sweet deal with it being under the $250, and having a sapphire crystal WITH a Seiko TMI NH35 movement. The only thing is that it seems pretty close to homage territory. Also kind of a bummer that this dive watch has a water resistance is 150 feet.
i have seiko 5 automatic and i am MORE THAN HAPPY with that ( over 10 years and still working perfect )
I was expecting 3 G-Shocks. Rolex is the last watch I would buy.
@@lordbostitch6209 agreed wholeheartedly! And, I actually, have several Seiko and Orients for that. I just prefer having more money for feeding my family and helping a good cause instead of a Rolex.
Gshock mud master does it all
1: G-Shock
2: G-Shock
3: G-Shock
Would you also include the G-Shock? Or maybe a G-Shock instead?
jdl 96 yea I mean are you really gunna wear a g-shock with a suit.
Just came across ur review ch. And 👍 ur passion also love ur new beast I am looking for a brushed metal engineered looking and rugged time piece. 1 think manufacturers should start putting on brighter colored hands to jazz them up. I know in my mind what I want but not quite found it yet! I've now subscribed I have about twenty watches currently. 😕keep up the great work man
Bought a Seiko 5 Monster, white face about 10 years ago. This watch runs and runs. Great lume and never had a problem with it. I take great care of all my watches and never have that beat-up look. No scratches on the crystal and several times a year get a nice complement on it. Highly recommend getting one!
these are definitely 3 nice watches.
+Adam SUC420 Thanks man!
lol ya for a bum! they have no style... NOOO CLASS, EITHER TO FAT OR TO DAM UGLY! COME ON PPL SERIOUSLY? U MUST BE JOKING
It's not fair to mock this man, he clearly has severe learning difficulties.
Great video, definitely going to get a seiko alpinist!!!
Today I discovered your video's and subscribed immidiately! Question: did you ever did a review about a Orient watch? Greetings from the Netherlands.
Watches are such a personal thing and I found your choices interesting but far too expensive for the majority.Personally I hate the look of all Rolex watches and their perceived status.For a guy, and to my eye, the Cartier looks effeminate and whilst I normally appreciate Seiko watches,the featured one in your first trio is overtly butch and clumsy to my eye.Neither can I see any style or attraction to the ones in your second string.Love your enthusiasm though but "one man's meat..."as they say...
David Mitchell day m
That Tank is the ugliest thing I've ever seen! It belongs on a chicks wrist!
Darren Turner the tank watch looks to be from the late 70's which explains the style. It needs to be replated and to have a Cartier band put on it to be returned to it's original disco age glory. Watch sizes go in and out of style like tie or lapel widths. Watches have started trending smaller. One of the requirements of a real men's dress watch is that it easily fits under the shirt cuff. Since many offices have gone casual, the thinness of a man's watch doesn't matter so much any more. It did matter during the time period when that watch was made. Must de Cartier!
Its 1920 " Jugendstiel " Stile and thats how old it is, not 70s LizintheATL ....
I think the Style and Design of the Tank is nothing else than unbeaten Genius and belongs to Top with the Jaeger / Reverso and I bet you drive a Japanese Car, mountainhobo ( in pink or purple )
I agree but I prefer the Panthere medium size with two strands of gold on the stainless steel bracelet. To me, the Panthere is one of the most elegant watch made.
H1delta the TT Panthere is gorgeous, but 8k for a quartz watch seems like a bit much to me. One of my frustrations with Cartier is that for what their ladies’ watches cost, they really should be mechanical.
is the skx007 date window slightly crooked ?
Thanks for the vid. Why do you wear your watch on your right arm? Are you left-handed? isn't it inconvenient?
+bongo twocanchoo I'm left-handed. I dislike wearing my watch on my dominant hand.
bongo twocanchoo I am left handed as well . I used to wear my watch on my left hand cuz everyone did it and I write a lot at work so the strap took a beating hence I started wearing it on the right hand. Takes a little bit getting used to but now it's natural.
Why have I wasted my time on this
Challenge accepted for sub $1k:
1. Dress Watch : Pulsar PF3424 $100

Great video, keep it up!
Great choices! Thanks!
5:37 I love the "cartwheel luster" on the white dial of the Seiko dress watch. The green dial, too!
Can you do a video on the SEIKO bottle cap I like how it looks somewhat similar to a SEIKO tuna without the guard around it and I would like to see a review from you on it
