The passing of time is traceable by the changing of Teddy’s backdrops 😂
Thanks, not I can't unsee it
I initially got into the watch community by watching Nico Leonard. While his content is entertaining, I could never get the level of information or pure quality that Teddy gives me. I often times find myself a lingering on his page as there is an endless amount of informational videos. Not only is the content really well made, I have had the pleasure of learning about the history of time pieces, which gives me a deeper appreciation of horology. I appreciate this channel immensely.
NL is the Top Gear of the watch world .
Entertaining yes , informative not so much .😊
@@julienfroidevaux1143 wow... i didnt think anyone could hit the nail so hard on the head with something but man, you've done it
@@aIIix Is that a compliment or r U calling me out for stating the obvious ?
@@julienfroidevaux1143 no im being serious that was a very good analogy hahaha
@@aIIix Thanks I thought so,just checking. 😀
That Maen is pretty awesome. Love what that company is doing with their releases, especially the new triple calendar!
Been my daily office wear for a while, it’s a great watch and good for small average wrists too, my PRX was too big 👍🏽
I own a silver Tudor Royal 38mm for 2 years now. For the price, this watch is just about perfect. The bracelet is dressier and super comfortable, the Roman numerals are light catching, you can were this watch everywhere, with every clothes. Really enjoy mine
I'm a 41 owner and love it. just fits sooooo well
Surprised that Teddy didn't mention the Casio Efb 108d. Easily the best integrated bracelet watch under $200. Has a sapphire crystal, screwdown crown and back, solid links and 100m of wr.
So happy to finally see CW's The Twelve mentioned by Teddy, feel like it's one where he's (for once) been a bit slow to give a nod - and having visited their shop in london and spending some time with the twelve on the wrist, can confirm it is even better in person. The finishing is incredible for a watch in that price range
Thinking the same. I even commented months ago saying “just waiting for you to drop the twelve breakdown”. Glad someone else noticed him slow rolling it
Gotta remember he tries to break down the watches he sells. Not necessarily any watch out there. That being said, he needs to break down the Twelve. That may be my next watch haha
ya but the channel pretends to cater to all enthusiasts extensively. But you are right. They only showcase the shit they sell. Things like the "bel canto" got so much attention here because it doesnt compete directly with his consumer base. But the things that make it so great can be said about any CW watch, but TB will pretend the likes don't exist if the price is comparable to what hes pushing. @@TheCanadianViper
I seriously would bet my livelihood that is the reason the 12 was so ignored. Showing that to his consumers would instantly lose sales of PRX
@@TheCanadianViper that's fair! He's always honest in his reviews I feel, but you're right that there will be a bias towards actually covering the ones he has - even if it's also just a reflection that they're the brands he's most familiar with
Wow I was actually trying to figure this out on my own for the past week. Thanks Teddy!
Ollech & Wajs just announced an amazing integrated bracelet watch, the “8001”. Legitimate Swiss brand with an amazing history related to the US military, Breitling and a crazy tool watch heritage. You should really look into this brand, you won’t be disappointed. I’m a professional polar explorer and I wear an Ollech & Wajs C-1000 during my polar expeditions. Went to the North Pole, Lapland, Arctic Canada wearing it on my wrist and it worked like a charm.
Wow, what a beautiful watch. Thanks for the tip!
I think another one that can be added to the micro category is the Lorier Neptune. It’s not integrated, but visually gets pretty close!
Just one remark, Yema should not be considered as micro brand by no means because it is a brand with rich and long history.
I own the "12" and just love it. Have the bracelet and rubber strap. Could not be more impressed.
The Yema Urban Traveller is a beautiful looking watch. I would love to see you do a video on these watches.
The link between CW and Czapek is Adrian Buchmann - head of product design at CW and credited with designing the Antarctique.
Great summary of my current watch style obsession!
Smart and well-done video as always.
I have a Yema Superman (French Air Force) automatic. Great looking dive watch, wears nice (39mm). I have heard of people having issues with Yema movements, I have not had any issues with mine. I also haven't worn it much in the 3 years I've owned it, but I have worn it under normal use conditions (at work & while riding horses) with no problems from it being knocked around a bit. I understand that Yema is "hit or miss" with movement quality and don't plan on purchasing any other Yema watches.
Thank you Teddy. As usual, a great vid!
I may be a victim of this fashion for sports-chic watches with integrated bracelets, but I fully assume it. However, I only have one: a PRX Powermatic 80 that I bought very shortly after its release. I still love it. It just as elegant as versatile. This is one of my 3 favorite watches from my modest collection. And it is certainly the cheapest of the three.
If I had to buy another sport-chic watch, I think I would either go for the Twelve, or the Aikon, or the Highlife. Difficult choice!
exactly the video I wanted. Been planing to buy a bracelet sports watch for a while now.
I tried on the Seiko Astron Crystal Box recently and was really impressed with it. The light play was incredible.
As always some great options Teddy. I would happily include any of them in a collection. It would be interesting to see some other integrated bracelet/strap options from other watch categories for instance divers like the Oris Aquis range who's bracelets from my experience are very well finished and comfortable given the price point. Many thanks for sharing.
Congratulations TEDDY !!!! For any subject (today the integrated bracelet) you are able to found 15 or 20 nice watches (and much more if we forget the price) . I like the Frederique Constant watch. I guess that it is a small manufacture. The TUDOR DAY Date with a nice dial and below 2500 $ is a great performance.
Seiko makes a interesting 38.5mm quartz watch. Inspired by the type 2s from 80s. It comes with sapphire glass, a really good integrated (but with a std spring bar) bracelet and a nice dial, better than PRX. And the second hand hits all the markers. Ref (black) Sur557p1
even though I sold my PRX because the 40mm is too large for my wrist (and the 35mm just too small) I do consider that watch already a staple. I am extremely happy with my Nivada F77 that is a classic and a killer main watch, which I will for sure keep forever.
A great range of choices indeed. I think the Nivada Grenchen F77 deserves a mention as well.
A great watch in this price range is the Alpina Alpiner Extreme. SW-200 movement, heavy duty case and a 200m water resistance. A true wear anywhere, integrated sports watch.
Had an eco drive I never bonded with (hated) but would give the Tsuyosa a go. Love the yellow. Thank you sir
I just got a horage supersede. While it certainly not under $1,000, it's a fantastic integrated watch. You have the micro rotor, I've had people tell me that it looks like a patek or vacheron... The finishing is really nice, the feel of it is very good and the bracelet has a really nice micro adjustment system. If I hadn't pre-ordered this watch back in October 2022 I would have likely bought the Chrisropher Ward twelve or the tissot PRX 35 mm automatic.
I love how the Tudor was included at the end. I think they've got a winner there, people are just sleeping on it.
I adore the look of the chocolate Tudor
Very interesting 🤔 indeed. Particularly like the new Brew watch with unusual but very well done case, dial and integrated bracelet. Really pleased new watches coming out of the USA as unfortunately we don't have to many making there way here to the UK.
Very nice presentation 👍👍👏👏
I have the prx and the tudor royale daydate in blue. I don't know why people hate the royale, I love it. It’s now my favorite watch.
Please make a video about your watch collection!! This would be the best content on UA-cam. I am sure many people want it to!
Well, having a prx, and loving Tissot. The bracelet is really super comfortable to wear. There are some brands I will check out,like the brew and Yama, and some more,so lots to see,thanks from Switzerland 🇨🇭, rachel
Heyy Teddy. Absolutely love your videos. One suggestion - would love if you could do a wrist check in the beginning or end of your videos. Would love to see and know more about the watch you have on in your videos.
Really like the maen
I really want a cw twelve, am just waiting for them to release a black dial variant 🙏
Very nice watches for sure! 👍
That YEMA is 😍 the dial is completely different to anything out there...that said, the CW is really impressive for the money...but tbf...most will just go for the prx and be very very happy with it..
It didn't exist when this was made, but Citizen's new NJ0180 runs circles around the Tsuyosa for a very small price premium. Their Duratect treatment is very, very good. I like the NJ0180 better than the Series 8.
I love almost everything about my Brew except the legibility. I find the yellow hands really difficult to follow with the orange chrono hand in there, and it hasn't gotten any better with somewhat-consistent wear.
I really like that Maen. Great video Teddy
Honestly, the ML Aikon is such a nice watch. It's a shame people see the bracelet as an AP knock-off despite it being different in design. The case and bracelet itself are just so comfortable and reflect light so well. Its only real let down for its price is the movement but only because the CW ward came out at a lower price point and also has a great design. I honestly don't think the PRX touches those 2 in terms of affordable integrated bracelets but its not supposed to, the PRX is in a price bracket of its own.
Exactly. The Twelve is close to double the price of the PRX after import charges. The comparisons are unfair. We can nitpick about each watch’s build but that build is also a function of cost and revenue. I am a perfectly happy PRX and Urban Traveller owner. I also own a CW diver so am a fan of these brands all the way around.
so by the looks of it maen is now making the Manhattan 37 in the Sellita SW200 movement now and also bring forward an option for a clear case back with a special version of the sellita sw200 with some better finishing. interesting for sure and probably a watch ill be picking up in the near future.
Wow! You noticed Yema! I'm happy for them, they work very well :)
I have the Christopher Ward 12 sapphire watch which you showed in this video I absolutely love it. I have many Rolexes and I am constantly complimented on the Christopher Ward 12 sapphire watch. The dial is stunning and unique.
First off- Teddy are we growing a power stache?! 🔥 lol
Second, great video. I love learning about the obtainable end of the spectrum of watches. Much more reasonable for a lot of us common folk.
The Yema watch looks pretty sweet.
Would love to see a full review of the Maen Manhattan! Personally think it’s the unique one of the bunch.
Another micro brand, is Atelier Wen with their Perception model. Absolutely stunning, and a somewhat affordable watch with a guilloché dial
I bought the Christopher Ward in the glacier blue and it's beautiful, but it didn't sit right on the wrist for me. I returned it immediately. Looking forward toward replacing it with another CW.
The Direnzo DRZ-04 Mondial should be on this list rather than the Formex, which is still a watch I like.
I would have expected Baume et Mercier Riviera to be in the list
The Tissot PRX looks gorgeous. Reminds me of the seventies when I was a kid and all the men wore these types of watches.
For Seiko I really like the look for the Astron SBXY & SBXD solar with radio or gps maintenaned accuracy - ok it is quartz movement but i think it looks better than even the PRX.
The Tudor Royal is AMAZING
BR05 used can be had in this bracket, and is very very nice.
My worry about the integrated bracelets is that they'll start to strangle my wrist in the afternoon. So an on the fly adjustment is needed. Does any watch offer these?
I love vintage bullhead chronographs
I love that brew watch.
I don't think you can call Christopher Ward a "Microbrand", I will agree it competes in a market of microbrands but is not one itself, the watches they offer are second to none at their price point, I see them being a huge watch brand outside of the enthusiast sooner rather than later.
Hey Teddy I am a big weight guy when looking at watches. Do you think you could add weight in grams to your list you put up on the screen?
Thanks for the video Great job as always. As far as integrated bracelets go I will not purchase one with a simple fact I like to change up and braces the strap strap replacement and so forth It's just too much of a limited option.
Tedy i want buy just one watch and i dont decide this watch. I want prx 35mm and chritopher ward twelve titanium what do you say to this two watch
Do any of these have microadjustable bracelets?
The Citizen Series 8 is quite an attractive watch, though would have been nicer had it been a 39mm or 40mm. The Maurice Lecroix Aikon and the Frederick Constant Highlife COSC are also real beauties.
The Maen Manhattan is pretty cool.
Steinhart, yes I know a maligned brand, has the Architect with an SW300 movement under $1k. I haven’t seen a review of that one.
I just noticed Teddy wearing a wedding ring on this video. Seems you and Courtney have already tied the knot under the radar. Congratulations and best wishes!!!
That Tudor kills it for me
This list deserves to be updated with o e model: The Steinhert Architect
Already have the Citizen Tsuyosa - great watch for the price. It wins against the PRX for me. The Citizen Mechanical 8 , never saw this watch in real life, but it's on my list😂
Loved all the watches but not omega great presentation, the micro brands are stepping it up very well, I can’t help but wonder what is missing from all the watches out there, I’ll watch the video again later and see what passed me by
The Christopher Ward 12 is the best for me. I particularly like the color options
Maurice LaCroix is an insane watch out of all. For some reason Tudor gives out cheaper looks only that specific models but black bay is class
The new Brew Metric Automatic that dropped this week is another option that I think is worth checking out.
Didn't see anyone mention the Nivada Grenchen F77 reissue. Got mine recently and it's a good attainable option.
Yes, love my FC Highlife.
do a video with nico leonard pleasee
The casioak modded with a steel kit is great, and very inexpensive.
Every youtuber that review the Twelve say that is the best integrated watch sports and mark a new level, so why Teddy seems not dont recognize? I think is the best in the list
for the money do you think Tudor royal worth to have?
Love my FC Highlife. Its price and style hit the spot without being super common.
The Tudor Royal would be nice without the day of the week messing the dial.
The 38mn royal has no day. Try that one.
Definitely the Tudor
I had been looking for a watch with an integrated bracelet and textured dial for a while and initially considered buying a more traditional brand, like the Tissot PRX, but it bothers me that it has such a thin or practically absent bezel, and I don't like the size options.
In the end I had to decide between three options:
-Yema Urban Traveller
-Nivada Grenchen F77 (which was not included in this video)
-Christopher Ward The Twelve.
Comparing the various aspects such as the design, size, price and etc I chose Yema, wich I received about a week ago and REALLY like the size of 39 mm, the quality and finish. It's still too early to say but I'm very happy with the purchase.
Can you update us on it? How is it after 8 months?
@@AndreiLucaa I really liked the purchase and I still didn't regret it. Obviously you need to consider what your budget is for a new watch, because 800 USD (I got a 10% discount on the first purchase) is obviously not considered affordable. As for the technical characteristics of the watch, I think you will find detailed videos on UA-cam.
@@arnaldorodrigues5556 great to hear you are happy with it.
I love the design and the price is somewhat comparable with the auto PRX- which I like but maybe it’s a too obvious choice 😂
Unfortunately not many youtubers covered the Urban Traveller yet. I wonder why since the positioning is great imo.
Edifice EFB700D-8AV. Under $150. Pretty awesome.
You missed the Titoni impetus. A lot of people sleep on that model. Beautiful piece.
Big miss from this episode, the Casio edifice EFB108D. Solid integrated bracelet watch from Casio, currently sitting at $90 on Amazon.
My 80's integrated promaster diver is in again, who woulda thought.
One more watch to the list Michel Herbelin Cap Camarat collection. I think, it is a hidden gem
The Doxa Sub 600T could also be on this list, although it's kind of a weird hybrid integrated bracelet/dive watch.
I love the look of Yema watches, they might be offended being called a micro brand though, founded in 1948...
I was lucky to pick up the Orange Citizen downunder for $229 AUD in a super special deal. That's around $150usd which is a bargain. It's sitting at the post office currently for when I can get to pick it up
Have not seen any review for the Nivada Grenchen F77 reissue. Considering the hype around the brand and the integrated style bit surprised this did not receive any (major) coverage. Some unboxing videos out there for sure.
Anyone some experience? Could have made this video as well from the pictures it looks nice. Sold out currently through
Have to mention, that Brew design looks exactly like Omega Constellation f-300HZ, would like to know about the relationship of theese two
I love my Brew Metric Retro
Man that CW 12 is soooo nice. I have a bel canto on order but I think I am going to have to see what the next color releases are and I may have to get one. I am hoping for a red dial version. I know they are hyped up a lot right now but IMO this is warranted- the quality, style and value is just really impressive and this is quickly becoming a favorite brand of mine. I think you have to spend A LOT to get an integrated watch nicer and better looking than the Steele 12
i have a c63 sh21 on pre order lol. I want to pull the trigger on a 12 too but I'm hoping for an updated release too. Would love to see fume dials on the SS models, and perhaps a 36-38mm size option.
@@Megatraum504 that’s funny- I would order that new mulberry (red) dial 63 if they would have done a version bigger than 36. Did you look at that one?
ya that new bracelet is a friggin banger. The red and the GMT are both awesome and I'd love to get either but it has to get in line behind the 12 lmao@@italianstallion3130
@@Megatraum504you have half of your wishes granted…36mm are available.
WOW FINALLY a video showcasing the 12? lmao it's almost too late to salvage at this point. But tbh, I thought you would pretend that watch didnt exist forever. im actually astonished.
The Christopher Ward The Twelve looks like a homage to the 1980 Tissot PR100 Saphir Quartz
Maen Manhattan sure is an interesting option.
the brew metric looks like it belongs in star trek the original serious, it reminds me of the old tricorder
Omega Constellation 95' still looks great...I like it even more than globemaster
