It's astonishing to me that it took this long to actually have a watch channel that talks about watches knowledgeably. The vast proliferation of channels which prioritise "unboxing" (basically a kind of strip-show for the intellectually challenged) and various guys saying things like "this thing feels really solid" and "it looks really, really nice" and "you know, to me this looks like a much more expensive watch" is comic. It's like turning up for a meal and being served foam. The sheer educational and entertainment value TB offers is always fantastic. Thanks, Teddy - more power to you.

I just returned to watch videos as a prime distraction, and I prefer my distractions to at least feel educational. I am _so_ glad I caught this video in particular, because it's not only actually educational, but it's a huge chunk of my DIY watch knowledge that was missing! Thank you for the work, Teddy. It is sincerely appreciated.

I frequently go back to this video to refresh and supplement my knowledge on this content---can't express in words how helpful this information has been on my watch-buying/collecting journey. Thank you for the work you do, Teddy!

One of our best videos ever. In my humble opinion, this is one of the most educational watch videos I have ever seen. I actually made notes so I would remember what you were saying about each one. TY for putting in ALL the work. You make it easy for the rest of us!

Teddy, this was a phenomenal video. I have a number of Breitlings that use these different movements and it was amazing to better understand the background and history. Thank you so much! Also, bought a couple leather bands from your site and they are amazing. Thanks so much for the excellent content.

You read my mind!! I was trying to work up the courage to reach out to you to request this EXACT CONTENT! Am happy to have a base level understanding of the movements and inner workings of the watches I study and covet. More information like this is appreciated!

Honestly if I see that a watch has a Seiko Instruments or ETA movement, or even some of the Miyota ones, I know that it's going to run great and be easy to find someone who is willing to service it.

Another thing I forgot to mention is that a few years back, Seiko released an OEM version of the 8R chronograph movement called the NE88 or NE86, and it is a much nicer movement than the valjoux 7750 that it competes with because it is a vertical clutch column wheel chronograph. I haven't seen it used in many watches though for whatever reason. My guess is that at the price point, people just want to see that "SWISS MADE" on the dial

Having serviced hundreds of watch movements I learned a lot from this very valuable assay of the very movements I come across regularly although I have to admit some I have never seen or worked on. Just too many beautiful movements out there. I'm currently restoring several Felsa 692's which are a favorite oldie of mine.

Very interesting video, Teddy. Appreciate the work that must have gone into researching all of those movements. I’ve always thought 3rd party movements make a lot of sense, especially from a price and servicing standpoint. Great work 👏🏻

When I hear that a microbrand watch uses a Seiko movement I take that as a sign of quality. My first automatic was an SNK805, and while the 7S26 isn't the best in the world it has yet to let me down.

Great video Teddy !!! I've been waiting for someone to actually do a video on the different movements out there for some of the people just getting into the watch world . Next , a video about the parts and how they go together, from mainspring to rotor wiuld also be informative for the same group , as well as everyone else. Thanx

Teddy, I've watched watch vids - at least in the hundreds by now - and this is the single best video on watch movements I've seen. You're a gifted teacher.

Having a background in clock repair, movements are always high on my list when choosing a watch. A watch is only as good as it’s movement. Thanks for sharing this important info to your viewers.

Wow Teddy. That was an education! Thank you.

This is a great video, thanks Teddy. These terms are thrown around so frequently in this field, it’s great to have some context.

Amazing overview! Never saw all of them compared directly! Nicely done & super helpful

In the beginning of my watch collecting journey i was all about in-house movements. While they are great and Rolex, Seiko, Tudor, Omega, Breitling, Zenith, JLC, Patek, VC, and so on make some reliable and proven movements. But they cost quite a bit to service. Now i honestly appreciate the utility, reliability, and serviceability of ETA and Miyota movements. It doesn't bother me if a watch has one. They are accurate and reliable. The service costs are half of what a in-house movement service is. While im totally fine with ETA, if i had the choice i almost prefer the Miyota. Its still quite accurate and reliable. I dont mind the rotor noise and usually the watch can be alot thinner than the ETA counterpart. If im spending 5 grand obviously i don't want a miyota movement but you get the point.

My daily wear watch is using a Miyota 9039. I regulated it myself over the course of about a week... carefully adjusting it back and forth until it consistently runs +1 second per day. This morning I woke up and it was 1/2 second fast from where I hacked it 24 hours before. It can go a few days without deviating by a second or two. It is a fantastic movement. There's nothing practically more that an in-house movement can give you.

Thank you Teddy, this is very informative to those who may dismiss 3rd party movements. At last an impartial review. I have experience with some of these brands. I've had a Sellita SW200 watch that has until recently been my most accurate watch within a second or two accuracy for some years, it probably needs a service now as the auto rotor is not as free as it used to be. I love the Valjoux as a super reliable work horse chronograph, OK it's on the thicker side but what a super movement. I also have an old TAG Monaco with a caliber 12 modular that has the Sellita SW300 mated with the Dubois Depraz chronograph module, keep em running and they will do you proud service. I'll not even attempt to list the ETA 2824 movement watches that I've had over the years but to date I do not recall a single issue with that movement for me anyway. I think a lot of a movements reputation as you mention is related to the company who cases the watch regulates the movement (and lubricates it of course to a good standard. The very best engineered movement will be perceived as sub standard if it is not regulated after all.

LOVE this content. I’m analytical by nature, skeptical in practice, and a DIY type person. This helped me start researching the cost associated with each of the main components of a watch. Hopefully I can get to the point where I can make truly custom pieces for myself in the near future. Understanding just how far that ETA 2824 family tree reaches has me intrigued on some potential builds.

Thankyou for coving this overlooked part of watches. I've had a hard time comparing movements in microbrands and affordable watches, and thus cleared a lot of it up for me.

Thank you Teddy! Awesome video! I know there have been many suggestions for this type of a video and im glad you delivered big time.

Great review of the various third-party movement available on the market. One thing about the Miyota movements that I have noticed is the very loud rotors when compared with Seiko, ETA, and STP movements (I only have experience with these movements). This is certainly true of the 8000 series, and is true even for the 9000 series. It brings to mind the notoriety of the noise level of Timex quartz movements. 😄 I am looking at adding a Squale Montauk to my collection soon, which would add a Sellita SW200 into it. I have also not had a great experience with the only STP movement in my collection and am not sure I would purchase another one. I am excited to see FTC's automatic movement when it gets released, and to purchase an automatic watch made in the USA and not just assembled in the USA.

With Swatch turning off the supply to non Swatch watch makers, and them being basically an in house movement supplier to Swatch brands shouldn't we begin to stop calling ETA movements third party - and begin calling them in-house movements for many Swatch brands. Just like Swatch has some 18 watch brands they also have some 17 manufacturers in house of which ETA is one. Swatch seems to be a classic vertically integrated company and I'm sure as a movement specialist they are involved with making Omega movements which for some reason are considered in-house for Omega. I think a more accurate story for ETA would be how they are sharing their in-house technology improvements such as SI hairsprings, to many of the Swatches brands. This story may be a bit more complex to tell, but it may better reflect reality, rather than the old third party movement story.

I have an Invicta Pro Diver with an SII NH35A movement. This watch over time had gotten me into the realm of watches and after roughly 7 years of absolutely beating it up (I got it when I was younger). This watch after recently adjusting its speed and tightening the rotor (came loose from having beaten it up), this thing is still going strong within chronometer specs. I’ve since bought a new pro diver with the same movement and it still keeps going at chronometer time (after adjustment). I hope to get an omega in the future 😁

Hi Teddy. Very interesting watch. Could you expand on this video to discuss the typical costs of servicing of in-house vs. third party movements, along with recommended service intervals?

Great video Teddy. It inspired me to set up an Excel spread sheet listing the most common movements and their specs.

I seem to recall that, in my youth, a watch company (Benrus?) made a watch that was "self-regulating". If you correctly reset the watch by advancing the minute hand, the watch would also speed up very slightly. The reverse was also true. I wonder if such movements are still made.

One of the most informative and interesting videos around, thanks, Teddy!

Having owned watches with both in-house and 3rd party movements I can safely say the quality and reliability doesn't change one bit between them and as Teddy pointed out, totally comes down to how each watch brand regulates the movement when it's going into the case. Currently I have the following app-tracked accuracies from my current collection: Baltic Aquascaphe SB01 (Miyota 9039): +0.93s/day Baltic Aquascaphe Bronze (Miyota 9039): +4.9s/day Laco Aachen 39mm (Miyota 8315) +7.08s/day Hamilton Khaki Pilot Pioneer Mechanical (H-50, ETA 2801 base) +0.54s/day And in recent years sold but really enjoyed: Marloe Morar Black Edition (Miyota 9039) +2s/day NOMOS Ahoi Atlantic (NOMOS Epsilon) +3s/day Tudor Pelagos (ETA 2824-2) +1s/day Marloe Coniston Speed Edition (Miyota 8N33) +4s/day These are incredible accuracy figures really for non COSC movements and a testament to the brands regulating their watches properly. The 8315 is the only exception but 7s a day is still nothing to sniff at for a mid-band automatic movement with 60hrs power reserve. I can happily wait until service time and get my watchmaker to regulate it to more positions in that time.

I have 2 watches with the movement Miyots 9015 inside and both of them are great! The movement is rather slim making the cases of the watches also very slim. Accuracy wise, both of them are the same at + 3-5 seconds a day. They are so good that I don't want to buy a microbrand watch if it does not have a movement from the Miyota 9000 series.

An interesting thing to mention is that Sinn Spezialuhren from Germany uses 7 different manufacturers for their movements. First is of course ETA, but mostly the quartz watches like the dive watch line UX, then of course Sellita in most of the normal 3-hand-watches like the 104, then Valjoux for the 7750 like in the 910, then a clone of the 7750, the Concepto C99001 in the 103, then comes the La Joux-Perret 8000 in the 903, then the In-House-Stuff they have come up in the EZM10 and others, but as it's a ground-up-modification of 7750-like movements, it's shady. At last we have the UWD 33.1 in the 6200 WG MEISTERBUND 1, which rivals A. Lange & Söhne in beauty and finishing. 7 manufacturers is just insane for one watch company.

Agree, the ST movements are very good, certainly if you count the Sea-gull does insane quantities (the largest manufacturor of watch movements in the world)

Thanks Teddy. This answered a lot of questions for me. I’m always impressed with your breadth of knowledge and research. Keep showing watches you sell. We’re rooting for your store!

In the next three years their will be Chinese competitors, that will get movements that competes with Grand Seiko and Rolex for a more affordable price range. They are going to be as accurate to a quartz watch mechanical movement, made by Seagull and yet this is to aim on MIC 2025 vision of getting out mechanical movements from China that works with the accuracy of a quartz movement.

Really great video. Learned a ton. Thank you! Oh, and I'm really glad to see the SW200 gets the stamp of approval. Just ordered a watch with it without knowing much about that movement.

Why would anyone give this effort a thumbs down? Awesome video Teddy. Thank you for making it.

I own seven watches that use the ETA 2824-2 movement. It’s a true workhorse. Some of my pieces include the Tudor BlackBay 79220b Breitling Superocean 42 Tissot PR100 COSC Powermatic 80 Tag Heuer Aquaracer with the Calibre 5

I several ETA based watches and have never been let down. Great movements.

Great video. Super informative. Will need to watch this again and take notes. You really put alot of work into this one. Thank you for what you do.

I found this highly useful and informative. A comprehensive but simple overview not one word that did not add to the narrative. Well done Teddy!

Wow this is way beyond KZread standards. Really high quality info. Thanks man for sharing this.

The regulated Miyota movements in my Traska, Summiteer and Freediver are incredibly accurate.

Thank you for this detailed and well thought out presentation and explanation. I was truly fascinated with how you delved into the various movements.

A fantastic video as always, Teddy! 👏 This was really educational.

3rd part movements doesn’t always mean it’s a bad watch. A great example is Kurono a watch by Hajime Asaoka that uses a Miyota movement. Phenomenal piece!

That is a very obscure reference.

Was hoping you'd mentioned Tianjin Seagull, probably the largest manufacturer of mechanical watch movements.

@@donquique1 Elitist much? Like Miyota, they make anything from low-cost $50 stuff to really high end thousand dollar stuff like tourbillons. If anything be glad that beginning enthusiasts can afford a mechanical watch, instead of spending hundreds on a Swiss movement right off the bat. Just like Japan (who used to make "junk" before the 80s), as well as Korea (no one in America had even heard of any Korean companies like Hyundai or Samsung before the late 90s), China has industrialized extremely fast in the past half century.

Brilliant video, thanks for taking the lead on this topic!!!

Great job Teddy. You answered several questions that I have had. Its frustrating to ask an AD about a watch and they can't give you the maker of the movement. Thanks keep up the good work.

Am I the only one that noticed the pun "in the vast majority of cases", or was that intended?
