Eric's Everyday Watches

I love watches. I am also "the everyday working man". I review and talk about affordable men's watches that the average Joe can afford and appreciate. I believe you don't have to spend thousands of dollars on a watch to get a quality piece that you are proud of. I'll share with you what I have learned over the years and invite you to come along on this watch collecting journey with me.

This channel is for:
- The first time watch buyer or anyone who already owns a few watches
- Anyone who appreciates the design and history of watches
- Anyone on a realistic (working-man) budget
- Anyone who wants to learn about new watches
- The watch aficionado who doesn't take things too seriously

Please watch, subscribe and enjoy!

    it has a nice design and somewhat affordable for a swiss watch brand but what turns me off about this watch is the F06.115 movement which is not serviceable but replaceable, the movement itself cost roughly about $150. while the automatic version it has some "plastic" parts in it. idk is it still worth it though? i like the design but i want a watch that last a longtime

    Данный mesh-bracelet выглядит красиво, но по факту это является не удобной вещью на самом деле, я правильно вас понял? То есть не стоит его покупать, в итоге им не будешь пользоваться из-за не практичности? Заранее благодарю за ответную реакцию)

    Of all my watches, this is always the first one I grab when going on a trip, or just running about. YOU are right, the crystal is the weakest point on this watch. My work watch is a Casio F-91 W, in case I run into any artificial Christmas trees ! I really do not know why, but this Citizen is my favorite watch.

    Why do people expect anything other than the substandard fayre Seiko have pumped out for the last 10 years? Especially where their woeful bracelets are concerned. It's because of this BS 'heritage' which is somehow supposed to be important. According to their pricing Seiko unbelievably believe they should be placed on the same level as Hamilton, Tissot or Christopher Ward... Seriously? They are absolutely nowhere near those stella brands. Seiko should be pricing themselves against AliExpress brands because that's where their quality and materials used places them.

    Uncle straps make a replacement clasp piece for this watch that gives an extra micro adjustment hole, does the job although it's a bit more rattle-y than the Seiko one

    Not that I am much of a chronograph person. The overall pricing and QC issues at Seiko have killed the brand for me. Still, this seems like a nice effort. Shame about the bracelet though.

    Quartz is the way to go with the PRX given that the original was a quartz. To do the PRX name justice you need a period correct quartz.

    This is one of the better looking watches from Bulova. Most of their watches are ugly looking and they seemed to have missed the memo about the humongous dials being out of style nowadays.

    Greetings, I have had a Phoibos Wavemaster with a metal bracelet for more than two years and the wearing experience is positive, the watch is practically like the first day, even the logical micro scratches derived from use are very few and barely noticeable. Everything is in order. The only complaint I could have is a bracelet with edges, if not sharp, then annoying, and something similar happens with the relief of the back cover. Great watch, impossible to find more for that amount.

    Hi williwmjc7195. Sorry this is an old video and i no longer have this watch. Looks like i did not mention the lume in this video (sorry this is one of my early videos). Seiko lume is typically good just a question of how much of it is on the dial. Sorry i don’t have a lume shot to share with you.

    Hello friend, I have seen the GMT model and I wanted to ask you, is it worth buying the GMT or this model? The GMT on the website tells me that it would not arrive here in Spain until August, thanks friend

  • @EricsEverydayWatches
    @EricsEverydayWatches2 ай бұрын

    Hello diegom-g7187. I have not seen the GMT of this watch so i can not comment on that watch but i just reviewed a GMT of another watch (the islander Port Jefferson) and my take away was personally, i don’t have a need to track multiple time zones. So the GMT function did not turn out to be a benefit for me personally. I think the biggest question to ask yourself. Are you thinking of getting a GMT to track multiple time zones ( and do you have a need for that) or do you simply like the look and technical aspect of a GMT. Hope that helps.
