I encourage everyone to get their hands on pieces before purchasing. Filming in pro-res, amazing color correcting and other video editing tools make products look much better than in reality.
@@mistadopeman my main problem with pieces under $200 is material quality. And it's quite impossible to get an accurate perception of it from the video (I mostly mean stainless steel). So in my mind resin-plastic G-Shock is always a better option for this price range.
@@vall.zubkov I agree. They use special effects that don’t reflect the product accurately. But yeah, G-Shock is G-Shock. Us watch nerds pick up on the most minute details.
I still love mine after 8 years.. however I didn’t realize how uncomfortable the strap is until I put it on a cheap NATO strap.. it’s my only watch that stays on a NATO
Can I just say... I watched two videos like this. The first video was a sub-$100 watch list and I ended up getting the Seiko Snxf from that list. And now you drop this and convinced me to get the G-Shock ga2100. Y'all gonna ruin my pockets yo.. stop with these damn good vids😂
Been wearing that Citizen almost daily for 4 years now and I love it! I will say though, the band it came with was a bit much so it got a NATO strap pretty much immediately.
Excellent presentation. 1. I purchased the Betucci DX3 a few weeks ago for under $90 delivered. Field watch had to be analog, 40 mm or under, quartz. Protected crown. 2. I purchased the Bulova corporate in December 2023 for under $80 delivered. Analog, 40 mm or under, quartz. Nearly minimalist. Office watch. My criteria are not going to be yours. An older friend is single, no children, professional and licensed parachute rigger. Spends the winter as a ski rescue person. He displayed a $370 Seiko field watch that I would have wanted 45 years ago when I was in Afghanistan.
I absolutely adore the Casio A1100 but without their typical 24hr format option, i had to pass.. Hopefully they will upgrade the module of that watch to include 24hr time format.
I am a great admirer of eco-drive watches of Citizen but all the models which i like of theirs are too large, almost enormous for my wrist. I hope they made some smaller ones.
The citizen garrison is your answer . I have small wrist and love the way it looks on me . Wear it anytime , just change straps . Buy it you won’t regret it
I've really wanted to like the Citizen Garrison but alot of the elements like: 'WR 100", Handset, Triangle Indices above the numerals and day/date just turn me off... I do however love the size, case shape, crown and font.
I'm surprise he don't put the CASIOedifice EFR-S108D-1AV Thats a must buy and have watch specially the tiffany color I buy that like 4 months ago around $130 and boy thats a pretty good looking watch Edit i have 3 watches that are on this video G shock Seiko 5 And bertucci 😅
I own and love all three, but his main criterion was an MSRP below $150, those Orients all are available grey market for around $150, but the MSRPs are higher.
Russia's Vostok diver and field watches are quite good, even if the political signaling will now probably outweigh the style. China's "Shanghai" 17 jewel watches are still handmade all in-house and only cost $30. The reissues are beautiful. For a Chinese person though, $30 is worth ¥150, and 150 yuan buys in China what $150 buys in America.

I was going to argue against you, but you're absolutely correct. Some of these watches here are underwhelming in person. Bertucci? Nah.
And size. Some of those are humongous in person.
@@hpph1744 exactly, especially considering different wrist sizes, it's very hard to predict

I recently got the citizen, is no so big but the contrast is awesome, great Video

The G-shock 5610 is the one to buy.
welcome to the watch life. wallet is crying
The citizen eco drive watch with day/date 100m with strap is my pick of bunch❤ The Seiko 5 is a beauty too😊

Thanks so much for this! It's EXACTLY what i needed. Plus, the links to Amazon are appreciated 😁
I want to buy a watch and I want your opinion please. Casio or Citizen ? Thanks
The citizen Chandler is a beautiful watch in real life, my favourite watch. It accompanied me on many snorkelling trips in Maldives.
Finally a great and varied selection! 👌
How does Casio make such amazing products for so little its amazing, that G shock he showed is just spectacular my favorite watch that iv ever owned.
I really appreciate this channel.
Seiko makes the same argument at 3:09 and 3:20 . Persistent Japanese I'll tell ya.
LOL! Good catch. Just updated the video and should be removed in the live version soon 👍

Great choices! I have been looking at those G shocks with the black cordura straps.
The Timex looks interesting. Wished you had the bracelet

This!!!
The garrison in this photo is actually super small fits my wrist

My new fav is now timex❤
Nice list!

Some good pieces on this list!
boddery voyager is also considerable
bertucci makes a good one with X1. maybe that A1100-1vy will be the first digital in my collection. i do like a lot of the Timex new releases.
I would suggest a waveceptor watch from casio.
This timex waterbury Is pretty watch. It has indigno?
Great footage! Cool watches!
Nice recommendations!
Nice video😊
Good stuff. TY
Very cool Mike.
Just copped AE-1500 for 20usd after discount. More wrist time than my mudmaster.
I'm surprise he don't put the
CASIOedifice EFR-S108D-1AV
Thats a must buy and have watch specially the tiffany color
I buy that like 4 months ago around $130 and boy thats a pretty good looking watch
Edit i have 3 watches that are on this video
G shock
Seiko 5
And bertucci 😅
That citizen is following me. So simple yet it has its own personality.
I cannot find SEIKO SNLK45 ANYWHERE. I WANT IT SO BADLY. I need this watch right fucking now 😭😭🥳🥳
Steeldive Willard?
Not quartz crisis. QUARTZ REVOLUTION !!!
I would add a Orient Ray 2 or Mako 2 and a Bambino to make this list a perfect 10
I own and love all three, but his main criterion was an MSRP below $150, those Orients all are available grey market for around $150, but the MSRPs are higher.
Citizen and Seiko wins ❤❤
can someone tell me why we as men like watches so much when they all function the same by telling us the time
it's better to wear a dive watch while wearing a suit than a Spiderman themed watch😂
G-Shock is the most worth to buy, very durable and elegant and very affordable, 1 G-Shock can last a lifetime.
Thanks 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
The snkl line is way slimmer than 12mm! It is just 10,5 and feels amazing on the wrist. It's the perfect budget gada watch
The Garrison would be awesome if its lugs were slightly less sharp. Owch,.
Bertucci Solar ⌚👍👍
What size is your wrist?
Just under 8”
I thought I was losing my mind on that Seiko one til i realised they made an error in the video footage haha
Ha! To be honest, same here. Had to rewatch a few times. Just updated the video 👌
The Seiko Arabic dial is a steal for under 150 as well
i wore my seiko5 with nato

good video
Seiko 5 has 3 bars of water resistance.
You can get WAY better watches for the same price.
Ładna kolekcja.
I want to ask you, have you ever had a broken arm? because it kinda distracts me...😂😂
In Europe, you can't get any Seiko under 300$
Woah not all of these are under 150
Take a shot every time he says "hyper"
I’m hammered after playing your game sir
Hi HiConsumption
Damn this Timex looks sexy!
I would buy that Sieko so fast if it didn’t have that ugly ass “5” logo on it.
First
A $150 watch from a credible AliExpress brand would blow all of these out of the water.
it's so snobbish not to include any chinese brand, almost xenophobe
Aliexpress is not credible and saying so isn't xenophobic
@@MrE0919 Brands like San Martin and Baltany are credible and people are super happy with their offerings
Garbage fake watches or horrible quality, just because they look good on the outside means nothing
Volume is consistently too low on all your videos. That G-SHOCK is a joke.
Terrible taste
not a single chinese watch? sorry, this list is a joke
Why? Lol..
What are some good chinese brands? Ik seagull
I use my G-shock to set my mechanical watches. As a grown man I find them juvenile and a “teenager watch.” They only serve the function of a workout. Overrated.
You're an obnoxious, insufferable snob
No teenager is wearing a gshock
Its ironic how you call a G-Shock “overrated” when you literally use it to set time on mechanical watches.
Did your wife leave you for a guy wearing a G-Shock?
When it comes to fine imitation watches, amzwatch delivers. I've bought from them several times, and I've never been let down.
