I always start from the watch to everything else. I thought I was being weirdly unique but now I see that I am not the only one

For the 4 pieces collection, I have in mind this personal selection: 1. Formal dress - Orient Bambino 2. Everyday wear - Invicta Prodiver 8926OB. 3. Casual Comfort - Casio F91W/Casio Lineage. 4. Sports&Outdoors - Casio Riseman, or any Casio with ABC. I also use a lot Amazfit TRex, which is, basically, a very rugged smartwatch. I add that this selection is based on a rather very friendly budget. Keep up the fantastic work, @Urban Gentry !!

Great list! I could be quite happy with those alone

For my workouts, I prefer to use a basic Timex Ironman. It gives me a stopwatch and is small enough not to be noticed during my movements. Can’t wait for the Longines review!

These are the 4 categories I've worked out for myself. But of course it's most fun to have multiple watches in each category and then less need to swap straps! Pure class as always

I tend to rotate straps on a seasonal basis. I have a bright red one for my Reverso that works perfectly around the holidays and a shell cordovan one that I put on my Sinn during transitional months. Also, life is short, so having straps with quick-release spring bars is a must.

3:50 "you don't have to spend that much money to have a bit of class." Truer words have never been spoken.

Great video TGV. Amazing how swapping out the straps or bracelet absolutely transforms the look of a watch. Loved the Clint Eastwood book 😅. Josey Wales on the cover 👌😎

Yes! Been waiting for another clothing-watch-strap vid! I admit, as a blue collar guy, matching watches and straps is usually to a Dickies or Carhartt heavyweight pocket tee in various colors...but even then it gives me the opportunity to match a watch to a specific color tee. My dress watches are all vintage and have genuine American Alligator straps and you're right - thinnest is best to slide under that cuff. Great segment!

Finally picked up a couple straps from Fluco this past year, and you were absolutely not joking about those. Their straps are better in materials quality and construction than straps I have that cost twice as much! Also wanted to mention that while it's been quite a few episodes now, the new intro is fantastic. Really sets a tone for the channel. Great episode. I'd love a rundown on your top 3 Private White VC pieces sometime down the line. I've been dipping my toes into their line and am really impressed.

I enjoy watching your videos and your proper gentleman guidelines to how to present your wrist watch according to what you are wearing- my wife happen to sit and watch this video along with me and she compliments you as a man who would definitely stand out in a crowd and would look very elegant a classy- I will strive to make sure I match my horological choices with the appropriate matching wardrobe, like you, thanks for teaching me to be a proper gentleman !

I enjoy matching my watch to what I'm doing. Travel (a GMT), motorsports (a chronograph), working (my daily driver, a vintage dress mechanical since I wear a suit to work), working out (digital "beater"), social functions (all precious metal).

Great video as mentioned previously love it when you expand out to other things as well as watches. The older I get I'm more inclined to the "wear what you want and feels comfy to you" style. However when you do want/need to impress others there are some great pointers here. Thanks as always sir and have a great weekend

Excellent video TGV. I missed this one. I was never really fashion conscious before I got into watches about 5 years. My wife, who thought my watch collecting to be slightly crazy, is now delighted that I think about what I should wear. I don't always get it right though. She will sometimes stop me on the way out and, you're wearing the wrong watch, wear this instead. 😊

These types of videos are deffinetly some of my favorite videos that you make. Awsome work as always TGV!

Very well done, Tristano! I have always been impressed with how well you coordinate all your straps p, watches and outfits. I don’t have the eye for it that you do, and more importantly I prefer the feel of a bracelet on all my watches. There are a few that go specifically on a leather strap and a few that go on NATOs , but for the most part it is always a bracelet for me. Excellent point though, rubber or nylon is the way to go for strenuous activities and exercise. Really well done, TGV. Glad to see you doing well. Hope you are having a great summer. Be well, my friend. Onward and upward!

That old diving helmet there, wow!!!! I want one ☝🏻 I am with you on matching watches to my attire, activity, occasion, mood. If I need I even switch a strap to be more exact on the matching.

👍🏼 Absolutely adore the combination of the watch and black suede jacket! 😍 I actually have one of Angel Jacket's leather jackets that I bought a year ago, and it's still in fantastic condition. It never fails to impress! 🙌🏼

3:26 James Bond is now a Tudor man eh? Guess he couldn’t find a Submariner at his local AD.

Like always, great entertaining video with top quality by TGV. I made a challenge for myself a couple of weeks ago: wear each watch I have for a whole week (no matter where I go or what I wear). It hasn't been easy to resist the temptation of changing watches before the week expires😅.

Fashion is so personal…and straps sure help out. But deciding what nugget on the wrist is probably more important. Variety is the spice of life 😊

i have a orient star, SAF02001S0 that I wear on a brown vintage braided leather strap from Speidel and it is so preppy, I got more compliments on the strap then on any other watch or strap i have. getting compliments constantly like 2-3 times a week (when i meet new ppl at work). that brown gold color combo cant beat it

over all i must say you by far have an open mind and that counts for something that matters!

Excellent dark colors with that suit! Excellent 👌

Great video, as always. Rubber Casio world timer illuminator for exercise everytime! 100M water resistance. 5 alarms and stopwatch. I use mine to surf. £15 from Argos. Unbelievable! 😂

We need more videos about straps in general. I rarely dress up so I tend to match my straps to the season: bracelets for the summer, leather for winter/fall and rubber or NATO for everything. I find bracelets easiest to wash sweat off and they are just too cold in my neck of the woods during winter. Avoiding sweat is the reason why I wear leather in the cooler/drier months.

Over the Seiko Dolce for a dress watch, my fav is the Frederique Constant ultra thin quartz.

As someone who owns six watches, I think four is perfect. Of course, my most recent purchase of an Orient "President" is making a very compelling argument for a one-watch collection. Cheers!

I have a few of those Seiko Dolce watches. Definitely a favorite

Hi TGV Yes, if you look at it this way, as in categories based on functions, a 4 watch collection might be ideal. Would no doubt suit a lot of people...but watch lovers might have trouble narrowing it down to this ideal😊 Otherwise you recommend at least a couple of different strap types for each category, and I totally agree. For example, when it comes to dress watches, I prefer a watch on a strap (-in the winter) and one on a bracelet (- for summer). Same goes as a minimum for the remaining categories...so now we’re at at least 8 watches. Where does it end...? Luckily it never ends! Watches are beautiful. I know; you can always change the straps. But in my experience watches tend to take on their own identity. This piece looks best on a strap, this is better on a bracelet and so forth. So at least you got to have...a lot of watches😆 Very good and interesting subject, TGV. Keep up the good work👍

Excelente todo!👌🏻👏🏻👏🏻

You're a good person TGV. I do wish people treated each other better too. I just picked up a black Lizard grain deBeer strap from Holbens for my Aquastar model 60 that I recently acquired. I don't know why but I just love the look. Also the new Aquastar 60 is a cracking watch, you should definitely review. The only matching I really do with my attire is matching my belt and Sperry's. Gotta do brown shoes with a brown belt or black with black. So i only wear a black strap with black shoes and belt. Great tips though, let me know if you wanna check out the Aquastar.

In my opinion a white dial watch with a minimalist strap goes with almost anything ... However this does not stop me from wearing a 10 $ raisin sports watch everywhere 😅. That backlight and alarm function supersedes any japanese or swiss movement/ dial esthetics 😊

Great video TGV i did own a Samsung smartwatch whicn i bought on a whim. That did not last long, now my Brother in Law wears it with pride😂. I have also now got an addition to my watch collection my son gave me a brand new Sekonda dress watch on a Brown leather strap that he never wore. My Seiko flighty i wear on a Bison Black rubber strap as i think it suits it better than the Stainless Steel bracelet it came with and so comfortable. My Seiko solar Chronograph i have it on a Nato strap. My Tag watches i have the Aquaracer on the Stainless steel bracelet and my Formula 1 on a Heuer Nato strap in Black Blue and White. I think these cover all the bases some may disagree, i dress more casual i.e Chinos, Polo shirts or a Jumper, Chukka Boots.

Love the Collareb Venezia with my speedmaster! The bracelet may never go back on.

I seldom pair a watch with clothing but rather with what the situation and environment calls for. For example, I went surfing with a certain friend for years and always wore my Seiko diver while surfing- so i wore that same Seiko to his wedding even though i was in a tux.

I'm quite done with dive watches, going back to dress watches again. Just bought a Cartier Tank and - believe it or not - a Tank-inspired Armani quartzwatch in rose gold (AR0168), because this is where my watch collecting journey started around 15 years ago. Still have two other Armanis from that time, still look beautiful and run very precisely. It's all about fun, isn't it? ;) Have a great day!

Love those Colareb straps!

I'm having a hard time putting the Seamaster 300M my wife gave me down and wearing any other watch. It just goes with literally everything!!! I'm completely infatuated.

I just took my brand new Squalle out for its inaugural 3-day outdoor camping weekend. Pleased to say it performed flawlessly and held up to the rigors of outdoor life. And it gained less than 2 seconds over the entire weekend. Perhaps the best watch purchase I have made yet.
