    There is nothing wrong with smart watches. It's still a scientific measurement of time. Most of us don't need a watch. I have way too many and wear them more like a personal expression of my mood and personality, like a jewellery. I wear a Samsung watch when I walk my dog because I don't want to check my phone or scratch my dog with a steel watch. Yes I don't mind scratching my watch but not scratching my dog. Watch wearers should stop hating on smart watch wearers.

    I know Tissot Prx is mentioned ad nauseam lately but I've actually picked my Ice Blue version 2 days ago. Got the call from my local boutique and splurged 745 euros. It was my 40th anniversary gift from myself. I've actually picked it up wearing my Casio a168w on which i was proudly wearing. Loving the PRX actually, it's a incredible watch. Looks and feels like 5 times the price I've paid. Incredible accurate and such a beauty.

    @@ryanjofre Agreed. In this segment, it really is a nice small bump up from Seiko (plus different looks/not everyone has one). Mine keeps excellent time and as an actual timepiece, stomps on the rest of the cheaper stuff. 2-3 seconds a day isn't "accurate" for a quartz watch, but a lot of the cheaper ones are just off by a couple of minutes after several months. This.. about a second a week, at most. Not Rolex, but what is... I just checked mine - 4 seconds fast after 3 months. That I can live with. :) Of note, previous ones were a second or so a week, this quartz one is a little better/newer and seems to basically need to be reset every few months. And, yes, the quartz are more accurate than the automatics if keeping accurate time on a budget is a thing.

    I remember watch snobbery being out into perspective when I was 18 years old, around 30 years ago. We had a manager at work who walked around wearing a gold Rolex shoving it under the nose of anyone wearing a watch... I used to wear my AE90W (I think it was) and over he came with the Rolex backed up with a comment like "If you work hard enough, you might own one of these one day!". Little did he know that at that time I'd been helping his wife out with a small hemorrhoid issue she was having for about three months prior to him being appointed as my manager. It always stuck with me that Watch snobs, or snobs in general, who think they have it all need to stop once in a while and double check who's rodding the soil stack whilst they're being dicks..... Jesus, she'd be 65 now Lol.

    Fantastic video MWC, as always! Life is far too short to snobbery, and (more importantly) letting someone else's snobbery bring you down. For the most part, no one cares what watch you wear, so wear what you want and as you said, "like what you love." At one point my whole small collection of watches was Casio/G-Shock, but I've since added other military or military inspired watches into my 5 piece collection. Its what works for me. But if that's not the case for others, great! The only advice I like to give people is don't have a smart watch as your only watch. Slow down and enjoy the simplicity of time without notifications. Even if only from time to time =)

    When I think about it, I have had quite a few watches so I must be a watch fan. Three Seikos, one Sekonda (I was a kid), one Mondaine, one Wenger (expensive rubbish), one Timberland fashion watch (fantastic value and did the job as a daily beater for years), one Oris Big Crown (gave it to my son), one Tag Heuer (very much of its time - the 1980s) and a Baum et Mercier for the evening (although I need glasses to read the dial after sunset..). The new daily beater is a Seiko SKX and honestly, it looks great and does the job. Even though it is a daily, I still take it off sometimes to avoid unnecessary damage. Maybe I need a Casio when angle grinding...

Incidentally, speaking of 80s memorabilia (Knight rider) no-one ever talks about Doc Emmett Brown's watches in back to the future. He wears one on each wrist in both the 80s and 50s scenes and they're dead cool.

    The $22 Casio A168 has the top notch EL illumination, and in chromed resin with a steel band, it'll do for dressy occasions, if all your pricier watches look like sports chonkers. On the black plastic side, I think the W800 manages to feel higher-quality than similarly priced Casio models, more solid than anything short of a G-Shock. Just a few thoughts.

    The Bulova prototype that Commander David Scott wore during Apollo 15 was a failed attempt by Bulova to win the NASA contract that ended up going to Omega, and so was built to the same NASA specifications that the Speedmaster Professional was. It was gifted to Scott by Bulova, probably hoping exactly what happened did. So the fact that it ended up on the moon and already looked like a Speedmaster does actually make sense.

    My collection of five pieces is rather humble compared to many. Only collecting a few years now, I have encountered the watch snobbery as I am one to strike up conversation with other fellows I see wearing watches. All of mine have come from pawn shops, and I did the math yesterday and found I'm only in $640, one SEIKO, two CITIZEN, one BULOVA and a trusty $50 TIMEX. The CITIZEN radio- controlled consistently reads the same as my smart phone, as it should. The other eco-drive is a titanium body and strap and is also surprisingly accurate. The BULOVA, which is most recent purchase, an ACCUTRON Snorkel II cost me $75, and after battery and sizing I'm only into for about $115. The jeweler told me I did quite well. So far it's not lost any time. The SEIKO 5 automatic is a green, military looking knock off of the HAMILTON, I've added a nice leather strap to it which makes it worth about $180, but looks far more valuable. This brings me to the humble TIMEX. I set this watch a few years ago and it doesn't seem to have lost 50 seconds. I removed its strap and mounted it to the handlebars of my commuter bike for winter riding. This way I don't need to mess with mittens and long parka sleeves to check the time. I always look appropriate for whatever occasion.

    I have 31 Casio watches priced from $80 to $275. I do have a $400 Frogman. I love solar/atomic Casio watches, usually I love digital but I do love a dual digital/analog display. What I’m hoping for someday is for Casio to make a solar/atomic watch with digital hour, minute and second hands and a readout digital display below. They have a watch with digital hands but it’s neither solar nor atomic and that’s disappointing

    I've got my father-in-laws Omega Speedmaster Moon Watch, that he received as a gift from the company that he worked at in the early '70's. I'm not the biggest fan of it, but my oldest son absolutely loves it, he is going to get it this year for Christmas.

    I must take issue Russ. I believe originally watch snobs call it the “quartz crisis” although most people called it the “quartz revolution” but now crisis seems the usual terminology used by watch enthusiasts. Also a watch snub might look down someone wearing a dive watch with a tux, it’s just not done old man 😂

    The only brands I trust and wear are Casio, Seiko and Luminox. My all time favorites are Casio G-Shock Rangeman GW-9400-1, Casio G-Shock Square GW-5000U-1, Seiko Prospex "Arnie" and Luminox Atacama 1944. Honorary mention Casio Mudmaster GWG-2000-1A1. I could imagine owning a Hamilton khaki but so far I haven't pulled the trigger.

    Good list and all good points. I'm not sure if any watch is totally snob proof...watches are so personal. I've got my own tastes and preferences, which may be different from other people's. I always try to be encouraging in person, when I'm talking with people about their watches. You don't want to be that jerk that bags out some guy's dead grandfathers watch, or the 19 year old kid who saved up for 3 months to buy a Daniel Wellington, because he started liking watches and he thought it looked cool. Longines are great for sure, and as a Rado owner and fan, I'm used to being on the receiving end of the snob blow-torch....lol

    I lost the count of how many Casio I have, but if I had to choose one with a peculiar design, and it's not a square, I'll say a Casio GW-056 (it was worn in Avatar I, just for reference), a brilliant work for me! It was the thinnest G, but they dropped the project, a pity if I can say it. Then, moving to Bulova, why not the Accutron too? Who cannot love a diapason watch? 😍 The rest of the selection is brilliant for sure. 😊 Oh, wait, the knight rider watch didn't have the FM radio, noooooo! 😮‍💨

    Bulova Lunar Pilot for the win! My new 43mm even has some of my Omega Speedmaster friends envious and dashing to acquire one. Just know, if you have a little girlie ~6" wrist, you need to get to the gym and bulk up before attempting one. :-) I adore AP's Royal Oak or any number of Vacheron's, but ultimately all high end watches are a product of marketing and the creation of an mental image that feeds people's egos. In the end, the primary use of a watch has always been to tell time, and a $50 Casio DW-5600 will always be more accurate than a Vacheron or Rolex mechanical, but it won't do anything to feed your ego.

    I agree with you on Hamilton’s, when I see and hear all the praise for the Patek nautilus and the AP royal oak being such great designs, I don’t get it because the Elvis 80 makes both those watches look the some Soviet brutalist designed parking garage next it’s style and design.
