There's watch reviews, expert reactions, top 10 lists, the best and worst of the industry and a whole bunch of memes, too. So if you like Swiss watches, German watches, Japanese watches-whatever-you'll be sure to enjoy my channel! - Розваги
Your channel not only has great content, but continues to have the smartest writing in all of watch UA-cam!
Always informative while also putting a smile on my face. We appreciate you, Andrew!
Very much so. His writing of scripts for this channel and Watchfinder is original, clever and always amusing! Definitely the best on UA-cam by miles!
Thank you very much!
Wow, the writing for this video is top notch!! The sarcastic jokes along with great info were fantastic!!
Thank you!
Agreed. AMW () is a watch reviewer who could entertain an armless man.
What? They were sarcastic jokes? I took this guy seriously!! I mean, I ended up buying a 1p watch and gonna sell it for 11p to some unsuspecting fool. Anyone want to buy a watch?
“Like a Mustang leaving a car meet”
😂😂😂
Poetry…absolute poetry!
Ha ha, I cracked up on that comment as well!
Tell me you're from Europe without telling me you're from Europe 😆
You’re the greatest watch writer of our time Steven. There’s no even close second.
Thank you Steven
I 24th that comment!
Those Chinese Tourbillion watches are proof that the most of the Swiss are overpricing their watches way too much. Watching their rate of progress in a short period, one can only assume it's only a matter of time before the Chinese watches reach the same level of the Swiss while maintaining reasonable prices.
Definitely artificially overpriced just like luxury hand bags. If they were honest, the steel automatics would go for 300 to 400 dollars like the best Rolex clones do in China
As a Chinese I can confirm that those Chinese watches almost always come with many catches. But I can also confirm that they’ll slowly get better and better and establish a position in watchmaking alongside with the Swiss and the Japanese. Not yet though
Chinese products are often cheap because they copy existing products and don't have to do r&d. I doubt they will reach the 'same' level of quality of some of the best swiss watchmakers, as they are handmade and at that level, you're paying for craftsmanship, materials and pedigree as well.
I actually have quite a few Chinese watches, ranging from €50 to €4000 - and the thing is, as soon as the quality approaches that of Swiss products, the price also increases significantly. This is especially true for the extremely expensive complications, like minute repeaters and gyrotourbillons, which Sea-Gull indeed manufactures. For instance, the Sea-Gull 1963 is available for €150, but if you want it from the original Sea-Gull manufacturer with better craftsmanship, it costs between €300 and €500. If you're looking for truly high-quality Chinese watches, they are unfortunately not as affordable as one might hope. However, I must stress that there are many excellent Chinese quality watches - they just tend to be more expensive than you might initially think.
I can remember, being over 50, when Seiko watches were considered cheap knock-offs if Swiss watches. Now Seiko has watch collections that are priced way beyond I ever thought they would. Now Chinese watches are doing the same but better.
Loved the humor, with near spit takes when you mentioned "period-correct surgical-grade wood" and later, "This is the kind of watch you give to your enemy, not your friend, in the hope that strap comes with a helping of flesh-eating bacteria." Brilliant!
Thanks 😁
Love your content. Informative, hilarious and witty. Greets from Switzerland
I think the best "cheap" watch for the money is a Sea-Gull 1963, Manual wind chronograph with a 60 year old proven Venus design. Fantastically good looking. Beautiful to look at from either side!
WoW was that scurfa's description a thing of beauty! Chapeau!
First time viewer and hooked by the relatable humour! Just starting out watching UA-cam watch channels and your one of the few to get a subscribe- fantastically entertaining!
Lovely episode, mate. Topping! Keep them coming
Cheers 😀
This is hands-down, the most entertaining watch video I've ever seen. Brilliant 👏🏽
Loved the video! Priceless content! brilliant language!
The Squier Strat reference had me lol-ing :))))
Great Content in all seriousness !!
Bravo !!
This could be one of the best UA-cam videos I have ever seen, as someone that just have discoverd watches this was a great video.
I am so glad these guys have really put alot of effort into watches designed for the more common folk and showcase them with such enthusiasm and aren’t about the snobbery!
The Citizen is such a better deal than the MoonSwatch! I've never even thought of that before. Incredible!!! If I had to spend $300 on a watch, it's going to be the automatic in stainless steel.
An even cheaper Citizen I would suggest is the C7. It has a day and a date function and it's beautiful but you can get them for like £150
Yeah you can buy many speedmaster homages that have sapphire crystal, stainless steel construction, and a mechaquartz movement for less than half the price of a moonswatch. Why on earth would anyone buy that plastic garbage.
Exactly I bought the Citizen Tsuyosa last month and I'm happy about my purchase, Definitely a better rapport between the quality and the price than the moon's watch
@@robertposteschild2353 I have to confess that, largely on the testimony of Jody over at Just One More Watch, I shelled out the 80 clams to join Team Pagani. I'm honestly quite impressed with it, as is my coworker who compared it to the Omega Speedmaster on his wrist and said something along the lines of "You know, this ain't half bad!' I'll never have the disposable income for something in the Omega's price range (heck, only reason I have a Navi is I inherited it; most everything else in the drawer is either Timex or Casio 🙂 ) and as long as it's not an outright forgery I think I'm just fine with a 200m stainless mecha-quartz chrono with all the styling cues for under a hundred bucks.
I have a few Citizens watches and they are spectacular. One has been sat in my windowsill for two
Years and has only lost two seconds
I love them all. cheap and expensive! Every time you do a video my collection gets bigger. At 50+ now......
Once again, you never fail to entertain as you educate. Your brand of humour is fantastic.
The thing I love about the Agelocer shop website is all the typos offering to let you buy a watch coloured ‘glod’ (that took 3 attempts to defeat the spellchecker to let me type ‘glod’ and not ‘gold’) or to have a steel ‘strip’ to hold it to your wrist because a strap is so passe
Is it the finest glod?
I love chinese typos. I have a "waterproog resistant" not rolex submariner. It says that. On the case. Not the listing, not the manual (which speaks constantly of a cocaine mechanism somewhere in the watch). It is laser etched onto the caseback specs - 100 meters waterproog resistant.
Love your rationale on the last watch, you are the man
Thoroughly enjoyed your video and the clever quips interspersed in there were a delight. My recommended cheap finds are,
1. Timex Marlin 34mm Hand wind (It's a good timepiece for anyone who loves vintage styles and a good budget dress watch)
2. Seiko 5 SNXS79J (That is just a Rolex on budget and it sure looks gorgeous under every lighting condition)
3. Casio G-Shock (Literally, any Casio G-Shock is a good beater watch for the money)
Watching this was the most well spent time for me in a month ❤
Those Bambinoes are amazingly value! That Pateke Phillipe lookalike! Wow! I actually like their versions that have the small sub seconds as well. And there is some decent decoration on that movement- not bad at all for that sort of coin!
Glycine Combat Sub (yes, I know they are owned by Invicta)
This episode has some really good jokes in it, perfect for sunday morning! Thank you for cheering us up!
Very entertaining as well as informative. Thanks
Great video, I recently bought the citizen tsuyosa, it's a good watch. Orient is also in my collection the defender 2.
Really enjoying the writing on your recent videos! Brilliant stuff 😂
Thank you 😊
Andrew yet another fantastically funny, excellent video. Thank you.
Thank you for watching!
Genuinely hilarious. Had me laughing at the end there "if you have the lowest amount of money before having literally no money" hahahaha
Great humor. I’m in. Subscribed today.
I have a Sugess Tourbillon. It's really fun to watch. It cost me $799 and not $150,000 or a million dollars. I appreciate handcraftmanship and I'm not suggesting hand made expensive watches are not worth the prices. Add gold and the price shoots up. But if you're on a budget and you like a fun watch, Chinese tourbillon's are great fun and they keep good time. Japanese watches are fantastic also. Love watches. Love the GMT Traveller watches from Citizen. Love the satellite watches and radio controlled as they are atomic time accurate. It's all about what you can afford. And what your priorities are. Champagne taste on a beer income.
Good overview of these Andrew. The Timex is one I have.
The Moonswatch?! Why not the Bulova Lunar Pilot? That notwithstanding, great video. I enjoy your sense of humour.
Great video. And the one liners just get better 😂
Fascinating. Subscribed !
I know little about watches. I'm here for the snapper banter. SUBBED!
The Bulova Marine Star Series B is an amazing watch for $250, especially considering the quality of the finishing and bracelet. Some really cheap Chinese watches can be nice for the price but those are a mixed bag
One of the best from you and UA-cam. The last sentence made me 😂
I, Steven, love this video. Thanks for including us Stevens in the video.
I purchased the Citizen a few months ago, and so far very impressed. Exceptional value for the money.
What about Pagani and San Martin? I've found some of their models to be surprisingly well-made for just a modest price!
Greetings from Mexico, great channel enjoyed everything.
Scurfa as celebration of scurvy😂😂😂
Glad it wasn't just me that thought it!
"surgical grade wood" 😂😂😂
I thought it was a celebration of dandruff - as he hinted at with the reference to flaky skin 🤔
@@slyfondle1885 Limes as dandruff treatment?
If you watch this video and decide to buy an invicta, you've already given up on life. Sue me
Buy what you want. Doesn’t matter what it is.
The Casio Duro, change the rubber strap for a decent metal bracelet and you look like a million dollars for a few bucks...
Hilariously brilliant, entertaining & informative. Even better than your Watchfinder & Co videos 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Why thank you sir
Colour palette of yes...lol 😂 had me spitting coffee everywhere, love this show.
I genuinely laughed at the Star Wars reference, great episode, liked and subscribed
I don’t like my invicta pro diver, it broke after a month of owning it and the movement has developed a scraping crunching sound in the auto winding works with that, not keeping as good of time as it used too, I’ve only owned it for 4 months too
Got rid of mine bought a casio wave ceptor 100% better😊
Hin Andrew!
Great video as always!
Just one small detail, I think the Timex expedition is rated at 100m WR as shown on the dial, not 50m as mentioned...
Cheers!
Great writing! Very refreshing!
Casio AE-1200! Unique appearance, all the complications, a backlight that doesn’t suck, all for $25.
Wearing mine right now. Haha.
Me too😀
And it even has a GMT complication! A bargain!
The A168 has a plastic case, only the bracelet is metal. You need to go to the a1000 for a steel case.
Weirdly enough, the watch is described as "a simple metal watch" on the Casio website. The case being resin is only mentioned in the specifications section.
Many watches nice watches are available under $260 from San Martin to the Pro Diver to Casio to Pusar to Lorus to Pagani to Timex to Momentum. All of these watches are well made and will function well. I have never had an issue with any of them.
New sub. Brilliantly narrated
Love your style. Subbed 🎉
I've just about stopped watching every other watch channel these days apart from yours & the Mad Watch Collector. Great work
Nice you mentioned orient they have been on my radar
Great list!
Excellent content as always, Andrew! I've watched you for quite awhile on Watchfinder but have just found your new channel and am loving the content. Thank you for the wonderful and informative videos you put out for us all, and the healthy dose of humour is always, always welcome.
Oh, and to remark on your statement of... "If I could have pizza every day, I would"... you're an adult man, Andrew, you can, in fact, have pizza every day if you please! I think I might tonight, might as well exercise that ability to have pizza whenever I would like...
I just subscribed for the laughs i had in this video.. Thanks!
Another incredible episode of AMW- 🔥🔥💯
Especially pleased i picked my 38mm bambino up from an AD for under £190 if they're going for "as low as 230" now!
As someone named Stephen I feel you were speaking directly to me. But still having conniptions about buying an Invicta
So many AndrewMorgan’ism on this video I need to rewatch it again!! Rhymes with bolex. Pair with your zippy shorts. Love it. Dad puns are best puns.
You are so enjoyable to listen to, very clever
Funniest place on the interweb, love to be informed & entertained at the same time, thanks!
I thank you!
The Chinese tourbillion is crazy awesome and for a crazy price.
Also it concerns me the ga-2100 series isn’t on this list. It’s literally the coolest watch you can buy for $100.
Even the AE1200 too
There's any number of Casios that could make the list. Whatever your favorite G-Shock is. I don't love the look of the AE1200, but 10yr battery + 100m WR + all those timekeeping functions is great value. A lot of the Edifice line are great, too, from the EFB-108's brilliant integrated bracelet and sapphire to the 527's chronograph and internal slide-rule bezel.
That said, my personal pick is the MDV-106 Duro. Solid beater dive watch for $50. I'd rather that than an Invicta.
Informative and with great humor! 😂👌
This is my favorite theme for any video you've ever made.
Thank you!
I also have a Timex Expedition like the one shown. It is my goto backpacking watch. The light has come in handy. It is also the only watch I have gotten a spontaneous compliment on. A woman saw it across the bar and exclaimed, "Is that an Expedition? I love Expedition watches!" (Fun fact: I was not wearing an Expedition at the time, but a similar field watch.)
I highly recommend this watch.
A chick magnet. I will start wearing mine to the coffee shop.
I might not trust your reviews, but you are by far the most entertaining. I will subscribe to you so I can keep choking on my food while I eat and watch you slam watches.
I was going to suggest the Sea-Gull 1963 but I've been beaten to it... I've got a Sugess version which my wife brought back from China, and so far it's been great. Regarding pizza, we had grape and strawberry pizza on holiday in Montenegro in the summer... just something to ponder on... 🙂
Love my Casio AE1000 (round version of the Royale) does everything and looks cool for 30 quid 😊❤
I went on a Casio purchase spree and bought AE-1000,1200,1300,1400,1500 & 3000 ( and many more Casios) 😀
Very entertaining and great humour.
It´s good to see the most iconic watch voice. 🙂
Love your witty manuscript...thanks
Brilliant commentary! So, so clever.
Phantom Menace pun was brilliant !!!
Very entertaining video, Andrew. I recently saw a post-workout video of the snooker great and IWC aficionado, Ronnie O'Sullivan. He was wearing a Casio F91. New Zealand fast bowler Lockie Ferguson has been wearing what looks like an F91 during matches. My daily is a Lorus titanium quartz. It is a fantastic inexpensive watch.
I watched a few slow motion videos of Lockie’s bowling, but he seemed to be wearing a fitness band in all these videos I watched 😞
My inexpensive “gotta have” watch is my Casio MRW-200H. It’s quartz analog, and a great watch for $21.
$13 here in India !
Brilliantly written and actually made me giggle more than once
Bought Citizen echo,square about 25 years ago for peanuts in Cardiff, still going ok..no battery needed ..excellent value.
1 year owning the Dresskx now. Thought i would wear it more often than i do. I think the PRX Quartz is a better option. The green dial PRX is my most complimented watch by far.
"To cheap to choke a turtle" haha the scripting is genius. Thanx.
I can’t believe an Invicta Pro Diver made this list, but it is a good watch. I went Addiesdive Submariner Quartz Miyota 2115. I would love an Invicta 1953 though. I am surprised the Casio Duro wasn’t on this list! The Duro and A168 would be the best two watch collection for less than $80.
San Martin SN004 is a much better watch for 50s Rolex wannabe.
Vintage Andrew. Love it. The best thing? He's the only watch reviewer I've found who actually knows how to pronounce Blancpain.
“And you never have to worry about scratching it because it’s simply impossible not to scratch!” 11:18 😂
I loved the video. Hopefully, you named some of the watches in the description. I fall asleep to YouTub video. My favorite was the watch connected to the ship. The price was reasonable and the dial beautiful
If you're into vintage looking watches, Baltany is my pick. The 1921 Cockeyed homage watch is BEAUTIFUL in person...and its been very accurate for month since receiving it. $169.00.
Absolutely true, Baltany is my top pick for the same reason. There’s like, 7 different watches that I want to get from them. 😅
Ill have to look into that
Andrew, do you know how hard it is for someone who is not an english native speaker to follow this amount of witty 18 minutes? Very hard! But very entertaining! Thanks and kind regards from Vienna.
OMG!!! The level of, I'm going to say 'Wit?' and monologued banter is so worth the price of admission!
First thing that has actually made me laugh out loud (not LOL, which is bullshit) in days.
Keep up the amazing work!
"it's not a threat, it's a promise..".. you got me there.
Great video, but cracked when you mentioned WebMD, thanks
Casio Duro. $47 US dollars and in the US still has the marlin on it.
Great video. Instant sub.
That you very much!
Best promo for a 1 cent watch out there 💯
Comedy goldmine and kudos for the wonderful and fun script! Love it and keep up the good work, Steven!
