The Langhe 1 is a dress watch. The GO is a thicc boy. I know it’s less expensive but just feels like you would never be happy if you wanted the Langhe one to begin with (and yeah I’ve handled it in person). Same idea with the Breitling… split second chronograph for cheap is great but that 15mm thickness is not. (There is a reason why these models cost less… but to each their own)

9:45 "Brittney, you wild girl!" 😂

Love your videos! Im glad you mentioned that gorgeous Breitling!

Love that 39mm GOCQ! I didn’t know they were so “reasonable” on the secondary market. Apparently their bracelet is outstanding, too.

Ahhh! I wish I had it in on the bracelet for my review! I got the rubber. Which is cool. But it’s always all about that bracelet!

Dear Britt, lovely honest reviews, and my puppies seem to enjoy listening to your restful pace and tone, great video and good you mentioned the Christopher Ward The Twelve, Bel Canto is fun.

I’m a little disappointed Sinn isn’t anywhere on the list. I recently got a Sinn 356 and it’s amazing!! Definitely, the best automatic chronograph for under $3000 that’s also under 40mm. It’s a little on the thick side but honestly that hasn’t bothered me too much.

Glad you mentioned Breitling. The B25 Datora is awesome. Nicely decorated column wheel chronograph.

Love seeing Glasshutte Original being highlighted. Some beautiful watches mentioned. For me the Sinn 556 and the Grand Seiko sbgm221 offer " bang for buck" 😂.

loved watching it. Subscribed!

Great video Love GO, I own a Panomatic Lunar Green dial One to add to this list is Longines Master Collection 38.5mm Small Seconds (Salmon dial)

Sinn 556a for me is just phenomenal. I know the price has increased to £1350 brand new but still unbelievable value I think for the quality of finishing you are getting. I recently bought one used like new for £875 and I’m in love! The bracelet is brilliant, great ETA movement and the dial is just so stunning. Those Arabic numerals with the white on black dial is perfect I think!

Happy Friday!!! Another great video😀

Love your work, Britt!

Love the faster pace 👍

Excellent video Britt. You’re spot on with these watches. Little gems each and every one of them 😎 For example, I own an Alpinist. And it’s amazing in how many situations it’s the perfect watch to wear, and at that price point.

For a diver under $5k, you can't beat the Oris Aquis Calibre 400. More accuracy than a Tudor Pelagos. More power reserve than a Tudor Pelagos. More antimagnetism than a Tudor Pelagos. A warranty that is twice as long as the Tudor Pelagos'. Less expensive to service than a Tudor Pelagos, and you only need service it every 10 years. A sapphire caseback, so you can see the movement, which you can’t do on the Tudor Pelagos. A bracelet with a quick release mechanism, just like Britt loves, which the Tudor Pleagos also lacks. Plus, I just think the Oris Aquis is a nicer-looking watch.

I am glad you included G-Shocks, despite what some watch snobs say, digital watches are proper watches. The SeaQ would be my favourite from all the watches there. Right now i'm wearing an Aocasdiy, Breitling Endurance Pro homage which cost £28.00, quartz, but in chrono mode it runs like a mechanical.

Great video good selections. Surprised that you chose the GO pano reserve and not the moon phase. I like the gShock Gwm5610 for the $150 mark

Darn. I thought the Tissot Gentleman would make the list. I'm wearing mine right now. It's one of the cheapest watches in my collection but for some reason it gets more compliments than any of my other watches. For future videos you should swap "Bang for Buck" with "Pop for Pound". 😉

I know what you mean. I bought a Tissot Chemin des Tourelles Chronograph in rose gold PVD, and despite owning an Omega, that Tissot is the only watch I own that has generated spontaneous compliments from strangers. ⌚️😎🍸

I like this list! And I think you’re right with the choices. Glashutte original make outstanding watches for the price. Also Breguet elegante watches can be purchased for less than 10. And for me they are every bit as good as the patrimony, if not in name but quality, design and brand heritage. Also Davosa, Laco, Stowa and Sinn make outstanding watches and not too expensive Finally citizen pro master diver in titanium is a great watch for the price. Basically most watches out of Switzerland!

Just got a v1 GO panoreserve with the 3/4 rotor in champagne dial! Paid 5k on chrono! Absolutely loving it!

Wearing my Hamilton Khaki Field Automatic today! 😁 Definitely a good one!

In will be honest my Hamilton day date gets a lot of wrist time. Great value. The only thing I can grumble with it is the feel of the crown when winding.

Great choices here. That Bel Canto is outrageous for the price. Two I would add: Tissot Ballade. I recently purchased one online for just over $400 US. For a COSC chronometer. Bulova Wilton GMT. A friggin' TRUE GMT, and I'm seeing it online for under $700 US.

Britt, don't normally post comments on KZread, but I really enjoy your videos and mostly agree with your opinions. You have recently cost me some money though. Like you, I am a huge GO fan. Saw your video on SeaQ and was already in the market for a new diver. Ended up getting the SeaQ's big brother. I prefer larger watches in general (been wearing a couple of Panerai for the last 15 years) and liked the date widow and better movement of the SeaQ Panorama Date. Found a used one in mint condition for under $8,000 U.S. and couldn't resist. BTW - since you seem to like German watches, how about reviewing a Damasko? First nice mechanical watch I ever bought. Have worn in a ton over the last 16+ years and the watch looks new because of the "ice hardened" case.

RIGHT?! Seiko + G Shock = ESSENTIAL in videos like this! 😅

Honestly, two watch brands come to mind for BANG FOR BUCK are Sequent and Straum. Those two deliver some insanity for their asking prices. Also the designs are solid, completely original and the treatment of polishing on cases and bracelets (where appropriate) and strap combos are incredible.

I had never heard of Glashuette until your SeaQ video, but when I saw it, I fell in love. One day I will get my hands on it. One day...

I love the quality and style of Oris and IWC. Also pre-owned Breguet is the most absolute steal.

I’ve just got a 1970’s re issue Seiko Willard Glazier Save the Ocean £1250 rrp but nabbed for £750 £500 saving best value. Wears really well due to case shape. Bracelet too.

Thank you ❤❤

The Hamilton on the nato strap, I agree. I just was Band of Brothers while visiting Normandy. Life changing experience. Thanks Britt

I learned to always buy on bracelet over strap. my hammy is on the nato and i was searching everywhere for a factory bracelet and could not find it. ended up opting for the bracelet from uncle straps. It made me love my hamilton all over again.

Santos de Cartier. Integrated bracelet sports watch under 10k. 1000 Gaus amag, 10 ATM wr, in-house movement, bracelet adjustment system, GADA, first sports watch, etc.

It's funny how watch people have similar tastes. I have so many of these modules or cousins (BB58 instead of Pelagos). a few I would suggest is the Tudor 1926, Omega Aqua Terra, Hamilton Intramatics

For GO I’d go the SeaQ PanoDate, and Breitling that pistachio dial B09 is absolutely my favourite hands down!

I feel like there should be an Oris in there somewhere, or at least as an honorable mention.. 🤔 Great job on the video Britt 👍

Anything Grand Seiko. Also, the Tissot PRX Chronograph when compared to other automatic chronographs. Watches that have easy bracelet and strap swap out systems are great as well, like the Tissot PRX and Cartier Santos, and also offer tremendous value.

Definitely go for the Hamilton khaki field. If only for the winding experience which is among the very best 👌

Hamilton Khaki Field AUTO 38mm. Same price range as the Alpinist, but shop around and you can find it for less. Super-duper-double-dog versatile. With the right strap/bracelet you can go anywhere clear up to black tie.

The Bel Canto is a complete breakthrough in innovation at their price point but I cancelled my order because CW has really poor customer experience. Delayed my order, did not provide any updates, continued sending me shipping updates leading up to my initial shipping date because they did not filter their email list, forgetting they delayed my order and not replying to every email I sent on asking for updates. And yet they can release special edition Bel Cantos for special people with no wait time, collaborating with others on special edition Bel Cantos also with no wait time. Extremely disappointing experience with them and I am sure I am not the only one. They forget their customers are the ones who made the Bel Canto popular.

I have been a huge CW fan in the past, but my time on this wait list for the Bel Canto has soured me to the brand for the same reasons. My initial delivery date for the Bel Canto was last July, a wait time of about seven months. It was then pushed back to December and pushed back again to.... January 2024. I am expecting an email at the end of this month either confirming my watch finally (at 14 months wait instead of the estimated 7), or giving yet another delay. In the time that I have been on the waiting list for this watch, CW have announced and released the Twelve (regular version), as well as announcing the 36mm version of the Twelve and the precious metal versions, and the Moonglow aventurine. On top of that, the 'bespoke' versions of the Bel Canto have had about four releases announced, including the 'Watches' version which was announced three months after my preorder and was delivered to customers last November.... And all this time, I have been getting about two or three emails every month from CW talking about everything that they are doing and how great they are. The only explanations about these delays are 'we got behind and we are sure it will be worth the wait' and 'the BC team is different from the other teams so all these other watches dont affect your preorder'. I like CW as a brand, and their watches (this BC will be my third CW watch), and I will keep my Bel Canto now I so close, but it certainly feels that as a company they were not prepared for the spike in business and popularity and a few things have suffered as a result. Its a real shame, especially because - contrary to usual CW practice - they are not just owning up to it and being honest.

It only has 50M water resistance, which for a supposed tough go anywhere field watch is completely pathetic. It's not automatic, you have to constantly hand wind it.
