Hey guys! Remember that there are least a few women watch fanatics here who love both your channels. The Baby G, ref BG169R can be had for $50! 200m, 7 time zones, all the g-shock goodness.. this was the must have of the 90’s and for many of us, along with Swatch, was our gateway drug. I still have and love my very original.. ❤❤

I just want to say thank you for highlighting watches across the board… it’s always enjoyable to watch you guys talk watches.

My late dad was presented with a Seiko 5 automatic from Hitachi in 1967.After the first Japanese Turbine instalation on the African Continent at the Athlone Power Station ,Cape Town.That Seiko was still running up until 1994.I think a general service and it would still be working to this day.

I am happy to see you both on here together. Your individual passions for watches are exciting to see on your own channels. I respect your unique personalities to watches. Thank you both for doing these videos together.

You guys rock! Always love the energy when you get together. Keep them coming!

Love the "chemistry" between you two - so different, yet so similar. Please keep up the good work, with these great videos👍

TGV, I sometimes go out and visit a community of traditional French Benedictines who live in Oklahoma, and you will be pleased to know that they wear F91Ws under their habits. They are modestly priced and durable and good for working in the fields or praying in the choir stalls.

Great video guys. The amount of fun and info you both share together never fails to "BLOW MY MIND!" :P

Thanks guys for this fun video! At the beginning I thought this would be yet another shopping list video, but thankfully I already own at least 5 of these 10 watches :D

Great chat! Thanks TGV and Mark! Can't wait to see this TGV x Islander in November!!

It's nice to see an episode on less expensive watches. I love the Seiko 5 SNK 809! It was both my first Seiko and my very first automatic watch. Even after two years and a dozen watches, bith automatic and quartz, it still gets a lot of wrist time.

F1_556_ That's not normal. Mine loses about 10 seconds a day. Which is pretty normal for a watch in this price range. You should have a watch repair expert take a look at it. Usually checking the watch out is free. Then, pending on cost of servicing or repair, decide if it's worth it to fix it, forget about it, or buy a new watch.

Me too! It was my baby, and I was fascinated every time I would watch the second hand sweep so smoothly (compared to all my eco-drive quartz watches) then it was my beater for about a year of landscaping/handyman work and now she probably loses a minute or more a day. Where I live the only place that'll service it would charge me about as much as what I paid for it back in the day. Sadly they're not as cheap as they used to be, huh? Hey, maybe one day it'll wind up on my kid's wrist, but I'll have to see how I feel about putting it in that kind of danger ; ) Form what I've read/heard, that watch probably brought more people into the market for automatics than just about any other watch since the 00's.

Just shows what watch collecting fun you can have without breaking the bank. Also, options with a tonne of history. As ever, totally enjoy your vibing off each other. Cannot wait for the collaboration release 🙌

This video was so fun to watch. Great synergy between two of you. So interesting getting this information in such good way. Subscribed

I remember buying the SNKs for $45! Then they were $55, then $60, then $75, and then $85, then over a hundred dollars!

I really like these type of videos. You two have a good chemistry. I also love the variation of topics.

One of the nicest watches I've purchased at under $100 is a Wenger field watch. Victorinox's value brand watch company. They have several models in that range and for the money you get Swiss quartz, sapphire coated glass, and a decent strap.

This video was wonderful, guys. In fact it, BLOWS MY MIND, that you guys haven’t done it sooner. All of the pieces you recommended are perfectly suited for someone beginning the watch collecting journey. The Casio DW6900 is also a cracking good piece. If some one is looking for the aesthetics of the DW290 (or can’t find on because TGV bought them all) and wants the GShock specs, I would definitely look at it. Multitudes of colors and spec combos. Also, I would recommend any of the Citizen entry level watches. They are on par with any offering from Seiko and don’t have the quality control issues. You can never go wrong with a Citizen. There is a reason it is the biggest watch company in he world! Thank you both so much for the video. It was enlightening and entertaining, as always. Hope you are both well. Onward and upward!

For me, value Casio can’t be beat. I had the early ones, pre g-shock; but in 83 I got a rather physical job and I broke 2-3 watches. I bought a g-shock and what a game changer for me. I wore g-shocks from 84-2018. I still have them, I just just can’t get myself to throw any of them away. They are beat to hell, but they just keep going. I did try and buy the Ironman timex and it broke in a week at work, never again. I have a bunch of Invicta watches, nice looking and feels so nice and you can buy so many at a reasonable price. I’m a bigger guy and I like bigger watches. I stopped wearing watches when I retired. I’m glad to see your list since 95% if not 100% of my watch brands made your list. Casio, Invicta, Swatch and Seiko.

Ooooooh!!! I am rather excited for this next watch, CAN'T WAIT!!! Your design language with Marc's design and ability to execute excellent watches is really going to be something!!

Awesome video as always. One of my favorite Casio's that is routinely overlooked is the MTP-S120L-3AVCF. It's a solar field watch for under $100 bucks. Stainless steel case and screw down case back, 100m WR, 42mm case with 22mm lugs. Beautiful, brushed, fixed bezel that reflects light quite elegantly. The strap it comes with is garbage but the watch itself looks stellar on Nato straps. I love it.

Wow, that one is really my style. Thanks for the tip! Adding it to my wishlist.

I just picked up an SNKK27 on a whim (A blue and yellow "Speed Racer" Seiko 5) off Amazon because the price dropped to $65 for a bit and have been blown away by it. The dial finishing and quality match some much, much more expensive watches I have. It's got so much personality. Like my DW290 (bought at TGV's recommendation and well loved) it's a testament to the fact that price and worth are not the same thing.

This video was a gem for sure you haven't done a under 100 bucks video in a while so it was great to see and the show case of watches is always icing on the cake on a lazy Sunday night and and Marc are great as always.

Thumbs up for the Alien sounds effects in the opening!

Fantastic Episode... Much more of these .. YES PLEASE

I really enjoyed this, thank you both!

Really enjoyed this one. Learned something new regarding the Casio G-Shock and the springs. Never knew that. Some great picks. Hope all is well TGV.

Just when I thought I had got out, you keep pulling me back in. This is a wonderful price range and just makes my collection even bigger.

These videos are very cool, keep them coming

I have most of these watches already. One to look at too is my latest Casio the w96h. Ultra inexpensive I just got one on sale for £9.99 in Argos. Great functions including dual time and the display is unexpectedly large. Very comfortable. Well worth a look.

That invicta is incredible value. Thanks for another great episode

Wearing the w217h for work lately over the f91w that has been my go to. The bigger display and light are a clincher. Riding on a Infrantry nato and it fits like a glove. Great vid

Well researched and presented, thank you for posting this interesting video.

Great conversation! Love your dynamic. Thanks for sharing!!! By the way, my go-to "beater/everyday" watch is a Bertucci for certain!! (I have 4 of them, 2 of which are titanium with ceramic). That would be on list of 5 for sure (and a DW-5600 G-Shock for sure!). Thanks again.

Thank you for the video. I picked up the Casio Duro. It’s absolutely everything you need for going out for a run or walk. Great watch to do errands. Thank you…it feels nice and comfortable on the wrist. Great recommendation!!

What a great list! For me personally, I'd add Skagen. I've had a simple Titanium one for over twenty years that has been around the world with me. It gets much less wrist time since I got into collecting watches but ironically it may have gotten more compliments than any of my so called "nice watches" I now own.

As usual, enjoyed the vid with the both of you. A few years ago I had the SNK809 on the bracelet.

I have 3 duro’s: $35 for blue, $15 for black & gold & $15 for classic black. The black is my favorite-seconds hand hitting the marks perfectly & rotating bezel having no play whatsoever. I put an orange silicone band on for awhile, but went back to the black resin strap for the diver look instead of looking more like a fashion watch. I don’t see why so many people have a problem with the stock resin band? I find it perfectly comfortable & I feel a diver watch should be on this type of band since it’s supposed to be exposed to water. 🔥

These watches are accurate and reliable. At one point in time I had 18 in my collection; all different. Here's a tidbit a lot of people don't know: If the model# ends with "ob", it has a coin-edge bezel. If not, the bezel is scalloped.
