Great content, Nico! Here in the Philippines, one can build a budget collection with Seiko SNKs, Alba, Timex, Casio & Axis watch. I vouch for Axis because of three main reason: they are sturdy af, water resistance is on point, and it is all-stainless steel. Have 2 axis watches ( a 2-tone dress watch & a stainless black dial beater) for over 3 years. Axis watches are marketed as a Timex sub-brand. I also own 2 Alba watches (a leather strap date watch & a chrograph), & finishing quality is top-notch, being a Seiko sub-brand. ..and of course all my 4 watches are quartz, and im honestly proud.❤

Yall should make this a series. Very entertaining video

Nico is a true influencer. Nobody ever will appreciate aftermarket diamonds on a watch after hearing Nico 😂👌🏼. Producer Michael en TraxNYC are living examples 😂

Love this as a new series. How about $2500, microbrands and independent watch makers only.

This is exactly the kind of video I was hoping for! Not your usual affordable watches, apart from the GShock, definitely didn’t expect a Longines in this. Tag Heuer I’ve seen for a few hundred in pawn shops and such but they’re always weird models which I don’t vibe with. Excellent video mate!

I have found Swatch thanks to Nico and I couldn’t be more grateful. By far my favorite watch brand, I love the look of traditional watches like the Rolex Daytona, but there’s something about Swatch that calls to me. Also Swatch is one of the way more affordable luxury brands!

What a great video Man! Loved it. Ebel on my radar now, much appreciated! Congrats on the Baby too man.

My love for watches has grown phenomenally since watching your videos. Have around 2k to push on a watch but might have to start with a few of these picks. As for videos I’d love to see a challenge where you can only chose different colours of face.

Not to be a party pooper. I do love Nico a lot too. (Although he explodes my ear drums every time I push play on one of his videos) But I think he sort of missed the point of this type of video a little bit. The collection videos are not made to show specific bargains one can obtain after tedious searching, but rather intended for factory fresh watches one can get for the given price points. I would like to know Nico's detailed opinion on islander watches, Vostok or some Orient and Seiko watches that in my opinion, would have brilliantly found their place in this video, without devaluating the premise of having a proper watch collection. Just sharing my opinion, big love to Belfast, I promise that if I ever get my hands on enough money to buy a luxury timepiece, I will head straight to "the vault"! ;) Greetings from the French Alps!

Great watches, very durable and very accurate especially for the price.

I liked the video & won't lie there are probably alot of viewers(like myself) that appreciate many of the watches, but most of watches we are going to buy are maybe max $10k. So knowing options is great because there are some amazing watch brands that, for you probably what you would call budget brands but for me & many others on higher end of our budgets not saying it's not a dream to get say a Royal Oak but that will take time to save where I could get some quicker. Like I get it's not a high end brand but like I have 2 from a company called Egard most of theirs are under a grand but me personally I like them. But my next 2 purchases are going to be a Rado & Probably Tudor or if I see a Pan I like within my range.

Loved this and the 5k one! Would love to see you do more, but maybe just for two watches, an everyday wear and an occasion wear. Do it for budgets like 1k, 2.5k and 5k.
