Embarrassingly, being a total watch newbie myself that I almost ended up sticking with a Michael Kors, a Vincero, and possibly a Fossil....now I am a proud owner of a Citizen Brycen, Orient Kamasu, and a gorgeous black Seiko 5. I feel good.
These can't be sold. What's the point? Just get one good watch Omega, JLC, IWC, Breitling all offer second hand affordability. I like Teddy but he lies in saying cheap watches are worth buying new. There's no resale. When you want a real watch your money just disappears.
This video demonstrates why the channel is one of the top-subscribed watch channels in TH-cam. Teddy literally strives to satisfy as wide an audience as possible and present contents that could be digested by the most varied group of potential watch buyers. Love that he also includes himself as one of the personality LOL
I would’ve picked Nomos for the hipster stretch. Many hipsters are minimalists. Resence is a bit more of a nerdy watch IMO (which would’ve been a cool personality type).
I think you would be right in that Tony, but it’s so well known now, I feel like it’s almost becoming Passé with them. They need something lesser known to the punters when sipping their Lattes. 😂
For the student, you missed the elephant in the room - Swatch. The Swatch Irony Sistem51 is a good automatic watch for prices ranging from US$150 to $250 each. Some designs are sober, some are more youthful. Usually comes with a centre seconds hand but there are some models that come with small seconds dial at 6 o'clock position. The Sistem51 is also a horological marvel of engineering. 51 parts, of which 1 is a screw (and the only one), make up the movement, automatic winding, and has a power reserve of 90 hours.
Just wanted to ask, not ironically, if you have seen them in real life. I was fond of them but in real life big disapointment! Too big, too thick and overall a feeling of "cheap"
@@AmigoCarlitoo Yes, I have seen the Swatch Irony Sistem51 and tried a few. It's not that thick. It is light due to use of plastics but it does have some metal.

@@pumaRAWR1 yeah, when I was a student, I was so burnt tired when I had to date my assignments I forgot the date multiple times through the same day. It just helps being right there on the wrist in school or in the office.
Fun, fun, fun! I really enjoy these pick-by-persona videos, this was a great way to start a Saturday morning. For the meathead I think a Tissot 2000m OceanStar would work, they’re big and masculine. You could just as easily put a U1 on him. I’m surprised you skipped Richard Mille for the hypebeast, but it makes sense if you only wanted to cover real watches, as opposed to trashy novelties. For the student, those were great choices, I would throw in an Orient “diver”, I’m partial to the Mako and Ray II. I agree with another comment I see here, I think a Bauhaus-influenced German brand like a Nomos or Junghans would be spot-on. And for the romantic, I think the Orient moon phase was great, at a higher but still very attainable price, I would suggest a Dekla deck watch. Great stuff, Teddy. And I really like the brown sport coat, sharp.
Gr8 video as always Teddy, thanks. The "Stealth wealth" category was very interesting and your choice of the HMC apple watch was beyond delightful. I would have included the Cartier Santos Dumont or the Tank in it.
Teddy you nailed this one except the Clubber, I would say a clubber would go for one of the bright coloured G-Shocks for entry price maybe the Casioak Rubik Cube watch with the white case and the high end would be something like a Jacob & Co Ghost Color, I just can't see a clubber wearing a gold colour Tissot dress watch.
Great idea for a video! New idea. Maybe a video breaking down sports watches for different types of sports. Swimming, sailing, lifting, bowling, golf, mathletics,chest player, family gam night (Uno!)
The Ressence watch company make the coolest watches. Every time I view a picture or video of Ressence watches, takes me back to the early 1990's of compasses (the way the curve and dial interacted was so cool) you could attach to the dashboard of your vehicle. Saving to buy a Ressence timepiece.... may take 10 years.
I was a 2 watch man for the best part of 15 years, A G-Shock that I wore pretty much all of the time and a Tag Heuer pro 2000 for smart casual. Now all I want in another watch to met every situation and for every mood.
GADA watches are tricky, but the Hamilton Khaki Field, Tissot chronographs, Seiko Presage, Omega Aqua Terra etc are all pretty good affordable options, can take a beating, look good in all straps (Nato/fabric, metal, leather) and go with pretty much any outfit or activity (except the most extreme casual/formal settings eg extreme sports or a black tie event) if you pick something with a timeless/throwback design.
Here's what I own (one for each category) Clubber: Seiko Lord Chronograph gold - cheap, super flashy, looks like gold Daytona and I won't care if I get robbed in club. Meat head: Casio F91W Hipster: Seiko Presage SSA411J1 with see-through dial. Stealth Wealth: Omega Seamaster 300M Hypebeast: *Rolex DateJust 2 41mm in gold-steel, fluted bezels, on Oyster bracelet. * I got a great deal: Rado Diaster Original with diamonds and Longines Hydro Conquest
Of your ‘list’ videos, these are some of the more entertaining. I’ve come to look forward to your changing opinions over time, both with changes in the industry and consumers.
I can’t help it I love the Ressence 3BB. I just find it so unusual and understated looking. The watch industry has been so traditional and it’s worked but I like weird
Oh, the irony! I am a meathead AND own a Safari Arnie (Safarnie) and a Panerai. The Safari sand colors give it a patina look that stand out nicely with black so I wear it on the standard black Seiko Arnie style dive strap. I also have a PAM112, because I'm a purist meathead that can't be bothered with tracking intervals - iron or nothing and cardio is for skinny people. I really enjoyed your selections here and the presentation. I particularly appreciate your ability to poke fun at yourself. That is Cleveland humility at its finest. Don't ever lose it. Well done!
Great content again. And I do see myself fitting in a couple of those categories depending on the savings available. Ironically, both the Datejust 41 as well as the Calatrava, are not readily available. Been waiting to hear from the AD for pass 11 months
I'm a soldier (combat medic) my collection is a boldr field medic for in work, tudor black bay 36 for every day and an omega deville from 1958 for formal functions plus I have a classic £10 casio for when it gets rough. Really want a nomos ahoi but my wrists are too small for their mad lugs
Fun video Teddy - good to see/hear. Love the watch you're wearing (== vintage Omega Constellation?). Stretch hipster could be a mashup - GS Spring Drive movement transplanted into an Invicta case made out of recycled trombones. Same for Stealth Wealth ;). And the Hype Beast would have _all_ the SwatchOmega planet watches, linked together and worn as a trouser belt.
Enjoyed this. Another category: The Artisan. We're talking about the highly skilled maker who is accustomed to using their hands for their livelihood, has a strong sense of design, and appreciates craftsmanship and aesthetic ethos. They seek that which floats between tool watch, and something that exudes sophistication, and aren't afraid of patina. They also love a good origin story where mass production yields to limited runs, and time-honored, slow methods of handwork are prioritized over strictly machine-punched commodities.
Loved the video. I didn't know where I'd land until I saw the watches and I made note of the Orient Sun and Moon, Seiko "Arnie" because it looked wonky, and finally the G Shock because it's a great casual watch. I am low on budget but like fun watches that are easy to read.
Thanks for another entertaining window into Horology. I noticed that Omega Constellation on your wrist. The same one you showed when Hugo interviewed you. I just want you know I feel in love with it too and found one on, of all places, Etsy! It was offered by a watch shop in St Louis with a good reputation, so I bought it. Love having that watch on my wrist and in my collection. Thanks for featuring it.
This was fun. If you do another video in this style, I would love to hear your choices for a musician; perhaps some unique considerations there. Thanks for all the content sir!
The arnie was a nice choice for the meat head for the size/bulkyness. I thought that the G shock would be in that category as well. Preferably the casioak for its shock resistance when slayin and bangin the weights and the water resistance from sweating. The casioak is not the biggest in size but it is a good thing when you are working out, its less irritation on the wrist on certain types of workouts. I was on the fence about the arnie but now I want to get it.

Fun video! What about the "Style grunt" personality? 🤣 We have manual labor jobs like Construction, handymen, road workers or the like. But we also love things like the Junghans Max Bill.
Good fun, enjoyed this. An aside though: why does everyone talk Hamilton Khaki Field Mechanical when the Automatic is more versatile and cheaper? Better looking too, in my eyes. Had one for many years, it's a keeper in a collection with wildly more expensive pieces.
Something to note about the Ressence is the oil filled module doesn’t require service hardly ever according to Ressence and it uses a common ETA base (2824 or 2892 depending on the version) so the service can be done by a local watchmaker easily. It merges the great things about mass market customer calibers without sacrificing some really interesting in-house watchmaking. Plus they’re super cool, the 90s “running seconds” is tough to get used to though. Had the opportunity to borrow one for a few days and.. I personally fell in love. 🍻
I was just having a similar kind of conversation with a buddy of mine. He works at patek in NYC and is also my neighbor, so we get to geek out on watches quite a bit. He said all of their watchmakers wear Casios and Seiko's. He travels into the city every day using mass transit. We got on the topic of the "ultimate beautiful watch" for this scenario. Especially with the current situations in the city. It makes a strong argument for any grand Seiko. (My specific pick was the snow flake). I know they are up in price, but so is everything. But, you get a beautiful time piece in every sense of the word that you get to experience every day that doesn't cause the attention of wearing a Rolex say, on the subway. It says Seiko on the dial. In a way, the argument against grand seiko has become the argument for a grand Seiko. The "need" to explain what it is to anyone who asks or wants to look at it. "It's a Seiko, but not any Seiko". "You see, grand Seiko is the highest level, with history, hand made, beautifully constructed dials, finishing on par with watches costing 10 times", so on and so on. No one will really care, except us watch nerds.
I just bought a Stuhrling automatic Special Reserve 3983. It is in their Legacy series line. A Skelton type watch with a Moon/Sun indicator and polished coin edge bezel . It has Swiss movement but made in China to keep cost down. It is a good value watch and is gaining in popularity. Surprised it didn't make your list.
Excellent idea for TH-cam with the personalities, congrats! BUT, nevermind those watches, omg Omega pie pan in gold with the octogonal crown :D For me a perfect watch. There’s an article on the web with a few omega constellations with a gold milanese bracelet, look it up, they’re AMAZING.
I had high hopes for this video, but it didn't answer what kind of watch collector I am. I bought I swiss automatic LIV Rebel-AC watch, which I think is the best value without spending tons of money, looks great, and I can't stop trying it out with different watch bands, I have different French leather for formal settings, plaid and wool for hipster scenarios, nylon NATO for everyday wear, synthetic bands for cool clubbing looks, textile bands for just plain fun. WHO AM I lol....
I was expecting to see an activity-focused smartwatch like a Suunto or Garmin. But the Arnie also fits for someone who just wants a watch, as does the Panerai made famous by Stallone.
I respectfully disagree - I think the PRX Gold PVD is an excellent choice. I bought one recently and it really is a subtly flashy watch. Many people wear their Rolex’s out so the PRX is different enough that it stands out, and if you scratch it up it’s “only” $450 (I acknowledge that’s a lot, but relative to others it’s a bargain.
@@TeddyBaldassarre I bought one of my friends a dive watch and his face immediately lit up when he saw the lume and said "I can't wait to wear this to the club!". I'm with you on lack of experience, the last time I saw the inside of a club was in about May 2019 ahaha
@@alexanderradetsky6994 But for clubbing or the rave scene I think you have to take into consideration what it will look like when the lights go out, or the black lights come on, You won't be able to see the watch only the loom
The jump from 290 to 36800 hurt my knees 🤣🤣🤣
Embarrassingly, being a total watch newbie myself that I almost ended up sticking with a Michael Kors, a Vincero, and possibly a Fossil....now I am a proud owner of a Citizen Brycen, Orient Kamasu, and a gorgeous black Seiko 5. I feel good.

The Royal Oak should be under the Hype Beast category. The Media Pro should have an Aqua Terra. You nailed the Meathead category.
When you've been a qualified physician in the UK for 10 years and the most you can afford is the stretch student option 🤣
For those interested I went for the sarx047 😎
Better a late comment than never - beautiful choice, and all the best.
Come to Canada!
Orient Bambino was definitely a student watch over the Hamilton Khaki due to the affordability and having a date complication.
Yes, I doubt many students will survive without that juicy date complication
@@pumaRAWR1 yeah, when I was a student, I was so burnt tired when I had to date my assignments I forgot the date multiple times through the same day. It just helps being right there on the wrist in school or in the office.

Really enjoy all your work, Teddy - this one is very interesting!
Agree that indeed was a lot of fun and extremely creative. A nice departure from your norm and yet not at all out of place.
A student with a Hamilton Khaki got it as a gift from their grandmother. A more realistic purchase on a student budget would be a Timex Waterbury.
Or Marlin.
That orient sun and moon. Perfect self gift for 2023
Hahaha the intro to this one is the best!
Excellent idea for TH-cam with the personalities, congrats! BUT, nevermind those watches, omg Omega pie pan in gold with the octogonal crown :D For me a perfect watch. There’s an article on the web with a few omega constellations with a gold milanese bracelet, look it up, they’re AMAZING.
I really liked the more fast paced video. Im a student and i mostly wear a f-91w or a vintage seiko.
Well I think i have split watch people in my brain as I like at least a watch from each persona! Excellent video
We forgot the Scammer Persona! Wears fake watches
It’s been two years; time to revamp this one. Hilarious one liners. Maybe not AW level, but more tasteful and still funny!
A fun video. I like the way you poked fun at yourself.
Great video as always Teddy! H. Moser & Cie is definitely the best choice for understated wealth!
Wish you would do a woman's version as well!
I feel called out. 😂- Tissot PRX Gold 35mm
I had high hopes for this video, but it didn't answer what kind of watch collector I am. I bought I swiss automatic LIV Rebel-AC watch, which I think is the best value without spending tons of money, looks great, and I can't stop trying it out with different watch bands, I have different French leather for formal settings, plaid and wool for hipster scenarios, nylon NATO for everyday wear, synthetic bands for cool clubbing looks, textile bands for just plain fun. WHO AM I lol....
My go-to as a “meathead” is anything Casio G-Shock, but the Arnie watch is very cool and I approve of the choice
I was expecting to see an activity-focused smartwatch like a Suunto or Garmin.
But the Arnie also fits for someone who just wants a watch, as does the Panerai made famous by Stallone.
Since he threw out the budget on the meathead it should've been a Richard Mille
Nice work, a very balance approached.
Surprisingly great picks! 👍
Teddy Turtleneck back at it with a great watch review!
Love your chanel !! Your website and your taste , amazing content classy.and affordable watches !! Keep it up 👍😊
That no bezel rotating watch is pretty insane
Thanks I want to start a collection your vids have been useful
I loved this video, Teddy. Thank you.
I think you've missed it with the clubber, the clubber should have something with crazy lume that will light up on the dance floor
I am a big raver I'm saving up for a Ball marvelight caring edition
My home body self might have been out of my depth on that one haha. Didn’t think about the lume angle as that sounds more like the rave.
I respectfully disagree - I think the PRX Gold PVD is an excellent choice. I bought one recently and it really is a subtly flashy watch. Many people wear their Rolex’s out so the PRX is different enough that it stands out, and if you scratch it up it’s “only” $450 (I acknowledge that’s a lot, but relative to others it’s a bargain.
@@TeddyBaldassarre I bought one of my friends a dive watch and his face immediately lit up when he saw the lume and said "I can't wait to wear this to the club!". I'm with you on lack of experience, the last time I saw the inside of a club was in about May 2019 ahaha
@@alexanderradetsky6994 But for clubbing or the rave scene I think you have to take into consideration what it will look like when the lights go out, or the black lights come on, You won't be able to see the watch only the loom
Great video Teddy !!!! Keep these coming !!! 👍
as a clubber i was hoping you'd mention something that glows, great selections though.
