Welcome to Watch Increments on TH-cam! We were founded in 2022 with the goal of providing the greatest resources around for those starting their timepiece journey.
But unlike nearly every other resource, our goal is to keep things unique and comprehendible.
When our watch passion first began, we found ourselves a bit confused by the jargon and over-complicated explanations of simple questions. From community forums to large publications, it seemed like everyone was speaking a second language that we didn’t know.

About this video:
First up is the Seiko SRPH31 as part of the Seiko 5 Sports collection. Although certainly not a chronograph like the MoonSwatch, the SRPH31 is a vintage-inspired pilots watch with a caliber 4r36 movement. For $275, you’ll have one of the best entry level sports watches with an automatic movement, multi-language day/date calendar, and water resistance up to 100m.
Unlike the MoonSwatch, the SRPH31 features a stainless steel case, transparent caseback, and presents itself as one of the best values around. It comes on a nylon strp finished in blue to match the dial with orange lining for contrast. While it’s personally not my favorite strap around, it’s a small downside to overlook when you consider the value this watch has for the price.
You’ll never really have to worry much about this watch having issues, making it a perfect daily watch.
For entry-level watches under $300 new, I firmly believe Seiko offer some the best options around. But next up is a very strong second place contender - the TIMEX Waterbury HODINKEE Limited Edition.
I felt the TIMEX Waterbury HODINKEE colab deserved a place on the list for a few reasons, but the main one being that it’s a collaboration piece done better than the MoonSwatch - as if that would actually be difficult..
The watch features the Miyota 8215 movement with 100 meters of water resistance and a stainless steel case. The watch certainly doesn’t stand out as much as a MoonSwatch, but I think a lot of people would appreciate it’s minimalistic approach to being a dive-inspired watch.
We’re moving onto watch number three - the Swatch Sistem51 Petite Seconde Black.
The Sistem51 Petite Seconde Black stood out for a few reasons, earning it’s place on this list. For starters, it’s a Swatch, which I would assume you’d be okay with if you were already considering a MoonSwatch. But more than that, it’s actually a quality watch for only $215.
Being the first Swiss watch on the list, it features an automatic movement from Swatch. In fact, it’s one of the most interesting mechanical movements you can get for under $1,000. Take a look at how stunning this movement is. The model name SISTEM51 was inspired by the 51 parts that make up the movement.
It also features a transparent caseback (obviously) and is finished in Stainless Steel, making it feel much nicer than the MoonSwatches bioceramic case.
Oddly, this is probably the most unique watch on the list, as it’s not really the first choice for many people, but I think it truly is a fantastic option compared to the MoonSwatch.
Moving onto number four on the list is the Orient Kanno with the green dial. Right now, you can pick this up on Teddy Baldassarre’s website for just $305. Sure, it’s a bit more than the retail on a MoonSwatch, but how many people are finding those at retail at the moment anyway?
Last, but certainly not least, is another Seiko. This time around it’s the SRPE53, another in the Seiko 5 Sports collection. This watch makes it to the list for it’s stunning blue sunray dial mixed with unique crown placement. It features a Caliber 4R36 movement like the SRPH31 we mentioned before, so you’ll still have a day-date function.
The watch is all stainless steel including the bracelet, and water resistance is rated up to 100m. You’ll also be back to see the movement through its clear caseback, which always adds a new dimension to a watch.
I felt this watch belonged on the list for similar reasons to the first one. Solid brand name, great quality, and some of the best value out there entry-level watches. Without repeating myself too much, I feel almost anything from the Seiko lineup in this pricepoint would be a great contender for an alternative to a MoonSwatch.
But if you’re still interested in the MoonSwatch, I get it. It has a lot of appeal for a lot of people, so be sure to check out our review on the screen now to learn more about what it’s like to own.

Watch This Before You Buy A Submariner!
มุมมอง 8K2 ปีที่แล้ว
Before buying a Submariner for way over the list price, take a look at the OMEGA Seamaster Diver 300m. This, in my opinion, is one of the best luxury watches that you can buy. It comes in well under $10,000, has tons of different color and style options, and it is by far one of the best-made dive watches on the market.

The BEST Alternative to the Rolex Day Date

It’s no surprise that the Tudor Prince Date Day is such a popular option for someone getting into luxury watches. To most people, it looks identical to a Rolex Day Date, mainly because it is. The Tudor stands out in one big way - mainly being that anyone can find an imported one online for a reasonable price.

The Most Disappointing Watch of the Year

The Most Disappointing Watch of the Year
My mission is to collect them all
Smooth
The yellow parts are made out of gold or it is Stainless Steel PVC coated?
I’m here just for that 😂😂😂 I’m like Big Quis said his Rollie tick tick ticking he about to blow up. I put mines up to my ear and it’s ticking 😂😂🤦🏿♂️ I’m 💤 thanks for the video 💯🔥😅
How'd you get this old watch working? My Fossil Abacus SPOT watch using the same tech is dead and won't charge up.
It’s a tick tick not tick tock
Sweet 🔥🔥🔥
Oyyy what a beauty!
Hands not even aligned 😢
Another jealous hater. They are watches. Get over it!
Awesome review.
Heresy... How can you openly say that it's ok to wear and scratch a watch like a submariner. You know how much each scratch lowers the value of the watch??? Shame on you...
This watch has less durability. The body is made of ceramic.
Brather bosss Swatch yos 401 g
looks to be on sale for $59 today. It's probably accurately priced today
That's what I paid for mine. Its was just delivered and its pretty awesome for the price.
I hot one for that too definitely worth 59
I don't like diamonds IMO.
I have expensive socslled Luxury watches. I like the $50.**-$150.** range the best. With exception to my Hamilton Khaki field. Functionality of useage is paramount. No lume. No good. Its just that simple.
LMAO... It's ordinary Swatch Irony with a "Omega" logo slapped in middle sold for $$$. People are so NAIVE haha!
Flash Sale today for $69.
Do you prefer a submariner (black face/dial) or a vc royal eagle (grey face)? Which would you recommend getting?
Honestly, comparing a basic Tudor 76200 prince date day in black with indices to the rolex day date watches that are available on the market. The Tudor is more appealing, the Rolex feels like it's pushing too hard to be the luxury over the top watches that they are now. I prefer the non-fluted standard bezel as well. A watch that is very high quality but doesn't feel the need to scream it, and the eta non-in house movement does not bother me. The price difference between the two is shocking, I wouldn't mind paying significantly more to get a prince date day from an AD in the US with full warranties and being first owner rather than need to import from a different market. There aren't many watches that use this date at the 3 and day at the 12 style that really pull it off. I can only think of the Hamilton, Tudor, and Rolex doing it well
Why is it made out of plastic?
Are you the same guy who made the optifine videos
Looks cheap, but it’s an excellent marketing strategy
Diferente do filme!
beautiful and not too expensive
Too much plastic
That's seriously awesome! 👍👍 Congratulations on having this superb watch.
I wonder President Biden owns a Rolex during his presidency.
If you cant get one, it doesnt matter if its better. 😂😂😂 No truer words were spoken!
Definitely the most unattractive bond watch.
How much
Where did you buy it, and is it for sale ?
I was trying not to like this damn it!
Please, no Mars colonization or Moon mining. Please, do not use nuclear energy or nuclear weapons in Space or on Earth. The Moon is hollow. Moonlight is vital for Earth's food growth for 20% at night. Moon does not self-rotate. The tidal period on Earth is not related to the Moon. Alien flying saucers pushed the ocean, causing tides to change to 35 days. Alien flying saucers create not only the tides but also the ocean currents. With the sweep of the ocean currents, dead bodies of marine organisms were gathered in several places on the ocean floor, and then the flying saucers press them into the Earth's crust to generate oil and gas for human exploitation. The aliens have also made coal for people. Nearly every Moon and Planet have aliens living there. Aliens are at least 50 years ahead of humanity. Aliens do not need to eat, drink, shit or pee. Aliens resonate with Sun straightaway. Humans are bad, having wars all the time. Human invaders on other Planets and Moons will be killed. Acts of revenge have started-many huge cyclones around launch sites. In the solar system, only Earth has water; other Planets and Moons have no water. Another Planet that has water is in the Milky Way’s 7th cluster. Please, recycle space junk. Please, no light-reflective satellites in Space; they disturb the sleep cycles of humans, animals, insects, and souls on Earth. Please make satellites smaller to avoid asteroids and meteorites’ impact. Please add coils around the satellite to even out the heat to extend the lifespan. Please, narrow the antenna to the range of Earth only, do not broadcast messages beyond Earth. Aliens can see everything on Earth by reading Akashic records. www.youtube.com/@kuwei.9352/search?query=月球 www.youtube.com/@kuwei.9352/search?query=火星

Hahaha 20Gs is a lot for me... but for a presidencial watch collect that's like saying my 2 fossils, 2 Timex, and my Swatch makes ME and advid watch collector
The ellipse looks better and cost the same brand new
Has anyone replaced the oem bracelet with an aftermarket 2 tone jubilee?
Which one is that? And how is it that the No Time To Die edition in Titanium has a very modest packaging?.
FJB!
I own precisely 1 automatic, GMT movement San Martin watch, with just a date complication. It's a dress watch that I do not wear daily but you know what, when I do put it on, I want it to be accurate. I don't want to have to unscrew the crown and reset the time and date, and worry about what time of night I'm setting it as to not break the GMT function. So my $15 winder is in service at all times.
Piece of garbage. Omega did people dirty on this one😂
💩
Damn, thought it meant perpetual as in I wouldn't have to set the date every month.
Maybe he wears it because his son went to the moon fighting cannibals an died in the war…
Titoni Cosmo King 😎
Expensive piece of plastic.
Super cool! 👌
Beautiful. Reminds me of my first ever automatic: the Seiko 5 SNK805K2.
