I have thought about buying an expensive, over 10k watch as an investment I can enjoy but if I buy the wrong one and people stop being as interested in collecting watches I'm screwed.

you can. The case is to never buy them for retail prices, only on discounts. Seiko 5 is one of the cheapest automatics on the market, and for less than a 100$ it's a very good watch, but above this price it's not. Poorly made bracelets, easy to destroy plastic crystal, movement comparable to old soviet watches. But the price makes it cool to have few of them in your collection, when you don't want to have just one watch for every occasion. The real seiko starts from the presage series. Citizen's cheapest models also are "cheap" in terms of usage, you can feel that the materials aren't meant to last long. Especially the NJ0100 series. If you want to buy a citizen, look for radio controlled models, because that's something unusual.

Hey Teddy. Brilliant video. So happy to see "entry" level watches getting some focus. So many YT watch channels have developed into Haute Horology Unobtanium (for most average enthusiasts) and just scare newcomers away. These kind of videos make you feel like you don't need to be a millionaire to enjoy the hobby and pick up some amazingly good value, quality watches in the process. Love the channel by the way. The 70 watch terms video was awsome too 👌

Citizen Garrison/Chandler (green fabric strap) is my favourite watch. I challenge any watch to suffer how my Garrison did & survive. The watch was lost during a home re-hab project. Eventually gave up searching, moved on, bought a new Citizen eco-drive. After 1 year, to the week, raking around the garage, I found my missing watch! In a dirt pile for 12 months of rain and Wisconsin snow. I was so happy. Cleaned with a rag. Left in the sun for a day. Wearing it now, works perfect.

Glad to see you included Tissot :) Bought my first "proper" watch 12-13 years ago, a Tissot PRC100, granted, its not a mechanical watch, but its been with me thru thick and thin every day since up untill this year. The crown doesnt screw in properly, so its no longer watertight, and I need to get it serviced. But its a watch I dont think I could ever get rid of even if I ended up buying a something like a rolex or grand seiko

Thank you Teddy for being one of the most accessible channels for new watch enthusiasts. You are right. Many watch collectors want to treat the hobby like an exclusive club. They dismiss people, outright, if they have no interest or cannot afford brands above a certain price point. In an industry which is being disrupted and whose market share is being eroded by the emerging smart watch market, we cannot afford to be elitist. If history teaches us anything, an industry that is being rendered obsolete by technology can only survive if those who are part of that industry are more welcoming of newcomers.

Great video Teddy, I’ve just watched a couple of your videos and you have helped validate a few of my purchases as an enthusiast, as I own the Vostok Amphibian, Seagull 1963, and a few JDM Seikos. Your spot on with the Seagull, I think it’s one of the best value watches out there. I swapped out strap for a dark brown crocodile leather strap, and it looks amazing! Problem is, I want more. Grand Seiko is an itch I need to scratch and thinking a 9F quartz but not sure if I should just save more for a spring drive GS… thoughts?

I'm glad you've mentioned Seiko Citizen and Tissot, 3 watches I've owned but sold on because they didn't tell the time in the way I wanted. I was taken in by first glance but very hard to read the hands against the dial. I now have a Casio Edifice which ticks all the boxes!

Great video! Looking at this in January 2021, I would have added the Casioak alongside the DW5600, and more importantly, for the chronographs, Ingersoll I01903 Bateman with the gray dial and IO6202 Scovill Automatic Chronograph. Both based on the Seagull built Miyota style movement, but automatic and modified for Ingersoll, plus with a warranty. The prices are amazing too, since the I01903 can be found for $250.

I was so glad to see Vostok mentioned! Back in the early days of the Internet, I got really into Russian watches, not so much because they were great or anything, but because, in the West, they were unusual. So cool to have the Cyrillic writing on the case backs and on the dials of my Vostok, Poljot, and Kremlienskie watches. I think these were the first mechanical watches I ever owned, coming on nearly 20 years ago now, so I wasn't familiar with the idea that you had to wind them up every day, lol. Prior to that all my watches were of the $25 drugstore Armitron quartz variety.

Thanks for putting this out there. And more people should address it with more than just "price point" or "value proposition " topics. For me, there's two types of snobs, price snobs and brand snobs. Brand snobs are those who believe anything without 100% "in house" movements and 300 years of continuous history etc. etc. Every brand starts somewhere, they forget that the entire swiss industry got started by making bootleg copies of the French and British clocks of the time

I’m not a watch collector but I appreciate a good time piece. I was happy to see Orient because it was exactly how you described the brand. This was the best $200 spent.

Thanks for this video Teddy! I just recently got into watches, sold my Apple Watch and got an Orient Bambino 2nd gen and a Seiko SNK809, and I must say I am in love with both of them! This list gave me plenty of ideas for my next one, hopefully I will be able to get my hands on a Khaki Field Automatic soon! Keep up the good work man

I’m in kind of a weird situation when it comes to this. I always only buy things because I like them and usually don’t care about what others have to say. However, I just got my first professional job where I’ll be attending marketing meetings and giving presentations. I’m in my early twenties and I’m trying to save money, but I also don’t want to be subconsciously judged by possible investors or potential partners. So I’m trying to find watches I actually want and like, while also being respected enough to wear in a formal professional setting. This video was an awesome start to my research. Definitely considering a few of these. Thank you!

I got the Orient Bambino gen 8 and upgraded the glass to a sapphire at a local watch store and I have to say, it's one of my favorite watches to wear. So clean.

I had a Tissot V8 (Quartz) for the longest time and it was, and still is, a really great watch. Recently though, I took the plunge for my first automatic with a Certina DS Podium, and it's great! After wearing a Tissot for so long, I was looking for something fresh and eventually settled on this. Probably a less known brand than Tissot but their designs are timeless and impeccable and the for about 300 bucks I'd say it's something to consider for anyone looking for an entry-level swiss made automatic.

You went straight to the heart of the everyday watch enthusiast. These timepieces are all standouts, in multiple dimensions. Any of these would make a great gift for anyone.

Amphibias are such a cool watches. I own soviet made 320233 version with manual wind movement and it's a proper and very well build military diver. I also have Bambino ver. 2 with cream dial and 1963, for me that's great affordable three watch collection.

I'm just getting into watches and I'm glad there are decent watches in this price range. I honestly had no idea it was this pricey. (Obviously new to this) whatever it was, I'm hooked.

I love my Casio calculator watch because it annoys mechanical watch snobs AND smartwatch snobs.

I love my Tissot Gentleman Powermatic 80 Silicium. Really like the look, its a great "one watch" that goes with casual to business.....and yes I think it gets some measure of respect from watch connoisseurs (snobs I guess) and that was a factor in my selection.

I have an old Orient keeps great time and is a joy to wear. My favourite from those you mentioned of which I have a few is the Tissot Visodate heritage automatic with a white face, just classic simplicity with a long second hand which I like.

About 8 years ago, I bought a pre-owned Citizen Eco-Drive E111-S039983 field watch. It is such a great watch and it looks really on my wrist. I wear it every day and my respect for Citizen and the Eco-Drive technology grows bigger every day, as well. I don’t like the “mall watches” Citizen makes, Teddy mentions, but this one just hit a different spot.

What an interesting concept for a video. This is the fresh content that makes it a good day when there’s a new Teddy video. ⭐️

Teddy, could you do a video about watch storage options, like where/how do you store your watches? What is the best options in terms of boxes? Thanks!

Swatch Skeleton I picked up 20 years ago will always be one of my favorites! Great conversation starter.

I’m 68 years old. I have a hard time, believing that these watches ,that i saw for a very low price. Are any better today,than in the 60s and 70s. I have been a watch collector for many years , on and off. My old friend Peter Plains, got me started. Thanks Peter.

Of the 42 watches I have, 11 of them are Swatches.

I have watches that are fun, like a giant orange faced Body Glove, or a tall red Alessi that wears a rubber suit, a very old Swiss Army watch with a mesh strap, A Mickey Mouse and a Tintin, a fake Movado from the streets of NY (a Fauxvado) a digital watch with a secret camera and some classic Timex models.

I have my Orient Automatic from the late 60s, which was my first watch, and it will still start with a couple of shakes to wake it up. It also has day/date. I have a few watches, but I will always love my old Orient.

I'm just getting into watches and the Seiko's are the ones that really attract me. I just got a Seiko 5 SNK803 and want to get one of the 80x's as well. The Omega Swatch Moonswatches are what intrigued me to get into watches so I'm probably going to get one when available. I know they will probably be hated on but that's alright, I'm a sucker for themed things like that.

I love my 60's vintage Seiko 5 Automatic, I plan on adding a new version of the Seiko 5, but being that my family roots begin in Lancaster County Pennsylvania I have to own the Hamilton Khaki Automatic, it's a pure emotional purchase!

Hey Teddy, I really love the history behind the Bulova Lunar Pilot and saw that a polished version exists. Which one do you think would be considered more "acceptable" by the watch community? Do you think the shininess from the polished version makes it seem childish and cheap?

Good point. I have a friend who pops into the pub on a Saturday afternoon wearing a different watch to the one that he wears during the week. I have no idea of the make of either and I doubt he does either and that is exactly the point! He's a builder's labourer Mon-Fri and that's one watch: a man at leisure Sat-Sun and that's another watch x

I think the Bulova 'Accuswiss' Chrono is worth including in this list. I have owned the ss/rose gold model for 3 years and it hasn't missed a beat. I paid retail for it back then but you can pick them up for around £1000 or less now. It has a sporty look which also doubles as a beautiful dress watch, and it's one of the favourites in my rather modest collection. Love your videos!

A lot of people at my work place who wear high end watches like Rolex kept telling me orient is shit, but I did not care what they said. Now they keep following up with me when it's gonna arrive and where did I order it from. Can't wait for it to arrive.

Amazing video just getting into watches this is all I needed

Fantastic job Teddy! Keep up the good work!

I had a minute long conversation with an older customer today where we both gushed over his Casio AE-1000W world timer. That $25 watch made both of our days. I should add that I also own an Amphibia and it's one of my absolute favorite mechanical devices period.

In my experience this is "anti-snobbery" snobbery. Many watch enthusiast pretend to like those low-price watches to look cool and tolerant. How much wrist time do they actually get? Very little.

I just bought a $30 Casio World Time and I love it. Wear it more than my Zenith and Rolex 🙂

That's nice I was bet to buy Casio

I got into the hobby during lockdown, currently the collection is blacked out G-Shock, Seiko 5KX, Seiko Presage SARY147, and and Cocktail Time for my girl. I'm relieved that we'll be safe in the presence of a watch snob! 🧐😂

Affordable watches for the win!!! My current collection: - Orient Blue Ray ii - Seiko SKX007 - Seiko Turtle (Save the Ocean) - Seiko SARB033 - Seiko SARB035 - Seiko SARX013 - Casio DW5600-BB - Casio F-91W I haven't even looked at watches in over a year. All of my boxes are checked off, and it gave me a huge smile to see so many of them mentioned in this video ^_^

My dad told me I needed a watch and I said I have my smartphone. He then told me "A MAN NEEDS A WATCH"..... so here I am looking for watches to buy

If he did not explain himself, a watch is not only a serviceable tool of timekeeping, but one of the few accoutrements appropriate for men. A favorite watch says a whole lot about who you are and what you value. Like a good suit. It doesn't have to be outlandish, but if it fits and supports your appearance, it says volumes without a single word.

A great selection Teddy. I have a few watches from brands in your list that got me started into this hobby. G-Shock of course (always room for another G-Shock), Seiko 5's, Citizen, older Tissot and more recently a Hamilton Murph.

Great communicator. Makes a huge difference and sets these videos apart.

I believe the seagull 63 stands up to scrutiny the best, when you consider the mechanics and the price, it might be the one the snobs want to hate the most but if they are being honest with themselves it’s only because they paid 100x the price for their Swiss made column wheel chrono. A true enthusiast will surely appreciate the movement and the sacrifice made when trading the name on the dial for the intricacies inside the case.

Orient Bambino and Seiko Presage won my heart.

I'm not sure if it's same class but I love Longines automatic watches.

I recently bought a Seagull M182SK and it is honestly such a beautiful watch. It is a skeleton watch automatic and they did not miss the attention to detail. Looking to buy the Seagull 1963 once I reach my next goal I set for myself.

I have a couple of expensive watches that I don’t like to wear daily. Was looking for something not too expensive as a daily wear. Thought about a used Tag Aquaracer but just not a Tag person really. Then I saw a nice used Longines Master Collection chrono that I was going to buy today……. but then I saw the Bulova here at a third of the price and that’s what I’m going out to buy right now. I’ll be looking for a G Shock too I think. Good work! Thanks for the heads up

Certina is a great starter brand. I also love the Hamilton khaki as a jump on point.

Bulova is pretty awesome and Hamilton Khaki ❤️ thanks for sharing love the content 🤙🏾

I need to know your under and over shirt combo! Loved the video as well!

Wow amazing … I’m impressed at how much u know about watches … a lot of the ones u mentioned here and other videos I have had a liking .. swatch, seiko cocktail green, tissot visodate and lecole , Hamilton Ventura (all time fave) …

My Citizen eco drive stainless is the best watch I've seen. I can snorkel with it, wear it with a Dinner jacket. No winding winding or battery replacement. Keeps excellent time.

I love Citizen watches! Some models are 🔥

Just found your page. I really enjoy the few videos I saw. I’ve been into watches since I discovered the r/ watches subreddit about 5 years ago. Only really started getting into collecting the last few years. FWIW, I swear by Seiko. Seiko truly got me into the game.

Thank you for making this video. As a man who already has too many expensive hobbies, it's nice to know what to look for as far as a nice watch

Very cool to see Vostok on your list! I don’t care what watch snobs think, but I like the premise of this video...basically well respected budget watches.

@@Dave062YT I never had, until a friend raved on about his. So I bought one after owning various Vintage Vostok, Citizen automatics, Laco, and I have to say the Seiko was the worst watch I had ever wasted my money on. Kept awful time that was random in loss and gain. Power reserve was not as quoted. And I did wear it daily for 6 months. The seconds hand never lined up with any of the indices, of course the chapter ring is known not to anyway. In the end I took it back for warranty and when I got it back it ran worse. I sold it immediately and was happy that at least due to the cult status of the SKX, it sold for what I paid for it. I’ve been wearing my Vostok with 2209 movement for 25 years. No service. Still keeps time exceptionally well. I’ll never buy another Seiko again.

@@whatsstefon I’ve had two Vostok watches and both were junk, one stopped altogether and the other (an Amphibia) had loose lume indices rattling around inside of it after a couple of months. I’ve owned various Seiko’s, including an SKX, and none have ever gone wrong and all were far superior in quality to the Vostok’s.

Thank you for your video about these watches. I’m literally getting into watches myself and my first collectible watch would be Casio Gshock to start it off. Loved the video!

Ecodrive is one of the best choice I made ,10y and still going strong without any issues

I think Mido should have made the list. Thanks for the video Teddy!

They are unbeatable value for money.

I’m getting into watches and it’s so fun! Love collecting watches!

I have a Citizen Perpetual Chrono A-T. It is my everyday watch. I have had it for years, and I love it. I also wear a Cassio G-Shock that I have also had for years whenever I am doing something that could damage my nice watches. I also own a Seiko Presage Cocktail Time that I really like but dont wear very often. These 3 brands are great and make beautiful, quality watches for any occasion. I have others but these are my main 3. I highly recommend any of them.
