A good alternatives to that Maen Moonphase is the Federique Constant Moneta Moonphase. A quartz movement might be more practical for a Moonphase watch so that it doesn't need to be set often.
Thanks for the feature Max! 🙌
Cheers guys 😁
That Moonphase watch is stunning. What a great piece.
Have a Citizen Zenshin green dial and its by far one of the best watches on my collection! Nicely picked for your list!
Beautiful watch 👍
How does it compare to the normal Tsuyosa and the Small Seconds one? I am really wedged between those 3 watches primarily in the blue colour
Wears better than both for me
@@dressing2877 never had any other than the Zenshin, but when I was at the dealer they all seemed really close regarding their footprint. However, the feel from the Zenshin feels different due to its bracelet and its weight, but that seems like a personal preference. If you have the opportunity go to a store and try them, go with the one suits you the best
As an Australian I find the "wristy" awards very humorous
Love your videos. I learn so much from them. I’m going to have to check out Maen. Surprised that Christopher Ward didn’t make the list. Happy holidays. All the best
Thanks so much 🙏😊
For $100 or less I recommend the Casio Edifice EFB, Seiko VX43E Quartz, and is a really good alternative to Tissot’s PRX Quartz. Hits every marker.
That purple dial is nuts. Some real stunners on here.
Good video but in Australia, a wristy means something different 😂😂
I got the Citizen Zenshin green dial , and I absolutely love it. The texture on the dial is very cool. Don’t like the clasp, but otherwise it’s an absolute win! Maen moonphase or manhattan are definitely on my list as well!
Great selection, love it. Just one change though, I would substitute TAG with Zenith El Primero Chronomaster Triple Calendar Panda dial (it has better legibility than the other two dial colors). Happy Holidays!
Zenith always a looker!
My alma mater has changed a lot. I was in the class of '98 and haven't been able to visit the campus since moving out of the country, but it feels like yesterday. Thank you for this.
I second the tag glassbox recommendation. I have owned the reverse panda version for a year now and still love it whenever i put it on for the day.🎉
Wow, Im loving this video. Several currently (near) best-in-class watches, beautifully presented. Such videos + the app - good job this year.
Cheers man! Glad you enjoyed it.
Excellent video 👏👊👊 The TAG Heuer has been hard wired into my brain since its release. Tudor 41 monochrome...the new Submariner and the new Longines Central Power Reserve ❤
That purple watch is beautiful
I have the Seiko and very pleased I decided to get it before they become difficult to find
White Speedmaster is my favorite watch of 2024.
Awesome list. I hope you can up the price tiers and mentions for future videos. These micro brands are great but it’d be interested in your thoughts on JLC, holy trinity houses, Chopard, etc
Great collection and recomendations!
I once got a wristy back in high school..
I wasn't so lucky
The black tag heuer chrono is way cooler. The date at the 12 is just so silly and unique + the sub dials look more uniform
Great choices! I only take issue with you crediting TAG/Heuer as the inventors of the automatic chronograph. That honor goes to our friends at Seiko, who had their speedtimers on shelves months before Heuer/Breitling/Hamilton managed to get the Caliber 11s out the door...and the Caliber 11 movement was such a mess that even the companies that developed it ended up switching over to Valjouxs within a few years...
Loved the video, thank you very much. Would you consider extending the budget and provide more suggestions ?
The new GP laureatos in 38 are cool
Nice picks.
Merry Christmas Max.
You too Luke!
For me the Omega BG859 was a stand-out
100% agree on pelagos FXD GMT and the new FOIS. I'd throw the white speedy in there too...I get it's just a new dial but it sure is hot.
Not a bad selection. Thanks
My “around $1000 pick” is the severely underrated Moneta Moonphase by Frédérique Constant. I would love to see you review that one. It’s easy my favorite watch of the year.
I like the Tag, but I hate when companies do 2 things: 1) Have a running seconds hand overlap a date, or 2) Have a running seconds hand with no delineation of markers at all.
Yeah that's a problem area for the dial
Very good video, great variety.
Thanks Dean 👍
Great video but which Seiko is it? SNXS79 ? you should add ref nmbr in the videos
Love you choice of the FOIS just picked one up but from last year
Oh yes Merry Christmas 🎄
A great alternative to that ancient pretty cheap(?) ($155 on Amazon) (+ the cost of a bracelet or strap) 5 series Seiko is the $120 Watchdives WD1016 Explorer type mecha quartz 100WR sapphire crystal applied markers BGW9 lume monster category killer. I have reverence for the Seiko 5 series, and if you don’t have one, that one is a good one. But I have one already and I’m not in a collect-em-all mood. One and done.
Time to move on to something that is leaps and bounds beyond.
I have the Seiko Navigator and it is incredibly versatile
I know right?
Great stuff
Saw the new speedy pilot today and it is outstanding and fun.
I like the colors!
Tudor GMT 39mm so beautiful and wearable.
Great video as always, relaxing and informative. I never, ever, ever thought I’d be craving a…..Timex. I just bought the Legacy Tonneau, silver dial chronograph. I was partly swayed by your Timex Q videos, thanks. It (the Tonneau) has sold out on the TMX website, and for £130 from Amazon (USD 150?), it was in the basket and shipped forthwith. A new category or video - vintage inspiration at all price levels? Let’s not judge bracelets and straps, they can be swapped 😂
Haha, thanks Paul! Vintage bracelets are questionable 😂
I would shout out the new black dial steel Omega Seamaster Diver 300M. It's gorgeous.
Amazing video!
Thanks my dude
I dig the Atelier Wen... Would you buy this for your collection @watchcrunch?
Definitely, it's very unique. But probably not for a beginner
No
@@WatchCrunchOfficial
Uniqueness is binary.
The black bay is around £2300 here
Good video
I support my Asian brother :)
Wally Schirra = "Shuh-RAH."
OMG LITERALLY NO ONE CARES
Still waiting on your full review of wristy winner last year, Vertex M100 - always my wristy winner
Love it….the Wristy Awards.
Max, was this video made before the New Speedy Pilot release? Prbly would replaced the new FOIS.
I like the look, but It's got a bit of odd proportions 🤔
Im looking for a kinda dressy watch i wanne give to my brother for his graduation. Shouldnt be more than 700 dollars. I thought about the seiko persage, but need some inspiration… any ideas? 🙈
speedy looks so good in action
That Maen dial would pass for #funktasticfriday 😊
Sorry the correct answer to the 500$ category was Kuoe.
All joking aside dang I love Kuoe. I want one so bad
the mid tier mass affluent 3-5k ish watches are so bland.... oh. a tudor and a misc omega. but... "meteor" dial'd it up a little.
Hahahahaha. Under rate comment!! These are fuckboy UA-camr watches for Instagram clout. They'll dump it on Chrono24 after 3 months and look for another "Daily driver" 😂

2:35 wait, how does an offset dial count as wabi-sabi?
I am thinking about swapping Grand Seiko Shunbun voor a Cartier santos 35mm.
Both legendary
Was pretty hyped to make the Omega purchase until I realized the hands are practically unreadable in most light situations.
No dive watch. Sinn U50 Hydro would fill the void.
Maen makes very cool watches, just a darn shame every. Single. One. Is of a sub-40mm case size. Step it up, Maen, literally!
The last time I had a wristy………..😂😂😂
Are these the best watches released in 2024 or the best watches you've came across in 2024?
I want to love the Maen, but those long lugs just bother the heck out of me.
Bracelet looks way too wide for the watch head also
$6k+ for a Tag????. Are you kidding me to recommend this brand for that price???? C'mon!!!!! Next, you're going to tell us to consider purchasing a Montblanc watch. WTF!
Tag Heuer surely had its issues in the 90’s….but to summarily dismiss the brand’s horological significance is plain rubbish mate
@@GoTerpsGoBlue Seriously mate, would you purchase a Tag for $6k+? Certain brands (e.g., Tag, Seiko, Oris, Hamilton) should not move up market this much.
Above $5k subjective characteristics become more important. That’s why a Tudor will usually beat out more expensive watche brands. Longines vs Tudor is a same cost class comparison. Omega vs Tudor is not and the subjective characteristics become more important for the Omega.
FFS land mechanical $1500 for a seiko CALLER GMT?! There are so many micro GMT using miyota 9075 for that or less. Separately I love my original 6306 and modern Turtle but agree with Jony #JustOnMoreWatch about Seiko #1 worst of 2024.
Maen not bad
"Maen" is pronounced like a longer british "van", so "vaan". This is because Maen is really just the old Dutch spelling of "maan" which means moon.
I'm never gonna be able to say it right 😂
@@WatchCrunchOfficial YT just won't let me post a link so just recreate it: v=Yz5m-CqMBk0
We need watches listed under 1 thousand dollars. Great video though
There were a couple at the beginning👍
👍😊
Nice looking watch but genuinely who is spending 3000 dollars on a random chinese watch??
lol, wristy means something else here in the uk
😂😂
As prices continue there upwards spiral Tissot and Hamilton are my new grail watch brands in 2025.😢
No diver for 2024.
🙂
Hey really nice vidéo, but... How is it possible that you already have the AW on your wrist? ^^'
It's pre-production
You've gone bonkers. The Speedmaster was a true tool watch. The new FOIS is a Liberace version with fauxtina and shiny special effects in the shape of blue sunburst. It's like putting Swarovski crystals on your hammer. But to each his own, of course.
🤪
No watch of that price is a "true tool watch", it's jewellery in cosplay.
@@the_hambulance I absolutely agree with that (I wrote "was"). But mixing crystals with even very expensive hammers that are mainly for show is still a bad look in my book.
“You’ve gone bonkers… but to each his own, of course.” Name calling followed by defense of individual opinions. Hilarious
@@joewhite6875 I think you should take this less seriously ...
👀
I give out one award a year. And you won it. It’s called the Fisty. Congratulations 🎉
Mate you really can’t call them tbat
Wonder if anyone would really be open to buying the Chinese watch at this point?
I highly doubt it.....didn't he say it was 3k? Give me a break; I don't care how "gorgeous" folks think this is....3k and made in China? We will see......just my two cents.
lol, this video audio auto switch me to french audio everytime. selecting english does not help.
How do i enter for the 'wristy awards' ? Ive been giving myslef wristys for years andnim pretty sure im better than this guy.
I'll put you in next year 😂
You know a wristy is a hand job? Haha
Even better
Those titanium Citizen watches are like toy watches compared to a Grand Seiko. It’s a lot cheaper, but you’ll know why when you hold the watch and put it on wrist.
And a stereo manufacturer put slabs of slate in their stereos because everyone knows that mass = high quality.
Seen Diddy's Fisty Awards? ✊🏾
People are still buying watches 😂😂🤔 The fad has passed. Get with it, it is all about AI stocks now!!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉
You can't wear GameStop 😂
