I was watching this & giggling to myself; I had to play it for my wife. Turns out she doesn’t have the same appreciation of good humor that I do. Fortunately my two little boys do.
The format, the script, and the good natured hilarity combined with informative commentary is what makes this channel so much fun to watch! The Casio GA-2100 and the Casio Duro are tremendous choices on their own and when you consider that nearly everyone can buy them without undue hardship, that’s really quite fantastic! Very well done 🥃 22:43
I lived with a g shock on my wrist for the last 15 years of my military career. Broke two and ceremonially retired the 3rd when I retired. Now I like the shinier stuffs.
Big fan of the Citizen Eco Drive Promaster watches. Have a 13-14 year old Carbon and just picked up an Aqualand - which seems like an updated version of the Carbon. Just solid chunks of steel with great performance and no need for battery.
Orient Bambino and/or Kamasu should be one here as should a Vostok Amphibia and any watch with an ST19 movement (Seagull 1963?). Also probably a Citizen Promaster Ecodrive.
Any channel that reviews Patek Philippe, Jaeger LeCoultre, Cartier, Rolex etc but manages to enunciate “boobs & farts” in an RP English accent and in the same episode is my kind of channel.
I have the G-Shock GM2100C-5A, this is the new metal Casioak with a positive display, contrasted dual, and nylon strap, and it’s awesome. I threw on a standard black rubber strap on it and it’s my daily driver, and I get compliments on it.
That's a good tip! I also bought a Hamilton Khaki mechanical for work last year. But my son wanted a Casio calculator watch. He's only 9 though and still may be developing his taste. Maybe I'll pass my Hamilton onto him later when I'm ready to upgrade.
Duro is the leader of the list, far ahead of the others. Glad I caught 2 with the Marlins, newer models have dropped them, sadly. S/S, and NATO straps coming soon.
Should have talked about how the QTimex seconds hand hits all the markers. Checked out 6 of them and all of them hit the markers. Fantastic for the price.
HMT Janata, Orient Bambino, Timex Weekender, nearly any Zelos, Vostok Amphibia, Casio G Shock dw5600, Bulova Hack, Citizen Pro Master (auto or eco drive), nearly any Baltic, and your personal choice of Mr Jones Watches.
Definitely Casio. The iridescent GA-2100SRS is my go-to fun watch and the rose gold GM-B2100GD is a great looking upscale sports watch for whenever I want something a little less fancy than a Rolex/Omega.
Great picks! I agree and have a Seiko 5, Citizen, and two Casio (solar and Edifice) with two Bulova (one vintage). I value you both and your reviews. Great job mates!
“Like smelling your own farts, there is a small joy to it…” If TH-cam awarded Oscars, that line would be engraved at the base of the award. Well done gents 👏👏👏🏆
I really do not get the Moonswatch watches. Cheap plastic kids toy watches in look and build and the strap confirms the kids watch look and feel. Is the only reason people go stupid over it is due to the omega branding? And for all that cheap toy looking plastic you pay heaps for it. So many nice watches you could get for the same money that it's really a bad joke that people are going mad over them. I brought my first Tissot today. The newish White lumed dial PRX with white strap. What a true bargain watch for what you get. I got a G-shock Casioak metal cover with green dial ( GM2100B-3A) a while back and I love the look but for the money it's really overpriced for what it is. It's hard to read and the strap is pure junk. But it looks nice at least.
I'm trying to collect all the colors of the moonswatch. then, I'm putting them in a display case beside my unique collection of dog turds. I have all 7 basic shades of dog poo, from ebony black to slimy white, and all the main tones in between. I think the Moonswatch colection will be a nice complement to that collection, albeit worth far less money.
I just gave in to peer pressure and got me one o'them G-Shock metal watches (the dark olive green one)...but I have absolutely no idea how to set the little LCD part. As such, it says something completely different to the hands. I'm currently doing my level best to not let it bother me, and I'm sure I'll get around to wearing it outside the house...one day.
Why? They still do the old style too for some videos- but they do these as well which I think are funny. Still the best watch channel on you tube- maybe just appreciate them
You mentioned the price of the Hamilton Khaki Field having gone up a bit. I really love Hamiltons but have notice they seem to have had a noticeable price jump in the last few months.
Hi guys: I agree on many of your choices. I myself own a Casioak (aside from Asia couple of other casio's). I own a Hamilton (from the 1950's). I don't own a PRX though... I went with the much nicer Tissot Gentleman (that no one seems to talk about),
I have the 'murdered out' GA-2100. Looks great. Goes with almost anything. Horrible for telling time in anything except direct light. None of it matters; it's too cool not to own. That said, the more recent version with solar and BT will be the next one I buy, as that one should outlive the apocalypse.
If I may suggest, of the whole lot here, save enough money to get yourself a Studio Underd0g, a Christopher Ward or a Hamilton Khaki. These three are the most prestigious ones and despite the price range, the highest bang for buck here. But there are others not listed here that can be great starters (Orient Bambino, any other Seiko 5, Vostok Amphibia, Citizen Promaster and many others) that can give you the feeling of owning a proper watch. And don't forget the second hand market. If you are lucky and fascinated by the Swiss Made logo, for the same price you can find even better watches on the market. Some of them come at a price that is less than the value of the movement inside. Just be patient and buy what you feel right for you without harming your finances. IMHO.
You know how people feel about Invicta., Back in the 1960's Timex held that spot. Timex watches would start at $9.95 and go up. Most people stopped at the $30 to $40 level. for that price you. got a watch which would for 5 years. They looked nice and kept time. Then go out and do it again. Many people wore them. I remember having low regard for them. I don't think they have changed at all. So I will never buy a Timex "Waterbury" watch. They started out selling $1 watches in the 1890s. I guess a dollar does not buy what it once did. But a dollar then was a Silver dollar.
I own a G-Shock Steel GST-B400 -1A and although it looks great the watch is basically a analog watch because the display windows are terrible for visibility . I think I wore it twice since purchase.
Curious to see how many I have: 1) GA2100 - have it ✅ 2) Seiko 5 Sport - nope ❌ 3) Studio Underdog Watermelon - nope ❌ 4) Christopher Ward - nope ❌ (100% on my list to get - although not this model). 5) Hamilton - I have the champagne dial Khaki King ✅ 6) MoonSwatch - nope ❌ (not going to get one - I'll get a better built Pagani Design version instead). 7) Tissot PRX - no ❌ (but Tissot Gentleman Powermatic 80 Silicum is 100% on my list to get). 8) Casio Duro - got it ✅ 9) Timex Q - nope ❌ (not going to get one). 10) Citizen Tsyosa - nope ❌ So I have three (although the Hamilton is not the same version mentioned) and I have two 100% going to get.
@@42Hertzer I wonder why watch reviewers always push the mechanical Hammy as a robust field watch. It doesn't look great (to me at least) and it's only rated for 50m of water resistence.
@@42Hertzer agree ... which is why I went with the Khaki King which looks more dressy - especially with the day date at the 12 ... which is how I wear it.
I’ve owned other G-Shocks but the Casioak is highly recommended. Still cheap (edit: better said, "inexpensive" as nothing cheap about the quality) and lower profile GA-2100 makes a great beater watch, nice looking and typical durability. I recommend the white indices as I have. The “blacked out” version isn’t as easy to read according to a few owners I’ve talked with, makes sense.
@@Flikksverdelger Absolutely. I've used it for a year and half anytime I'm doing manual labor like running a chainsaw, sledgehammer, anything regardless the activity and also, on the beach surf fishing so it's exposed to saltwater. If it gets covered in dirt I simply put it under water and use a toothbrush. I gave a friend my old G-100 and this is the only one I use as a "beater" but still works as a casual option.
I've had 5 gshock and enjoyed them all, when I fancy a new one I just sell one for what I purchased it for in the sale. That said my Elliot Brown Canford is a stonking watch for the money, gets alot of attention and I'm never scared to wear it. I forget I'm wearing it on the rubber strap.
I have like 3 watches in my collection, moonswatch so i can cheat if i need a dress watch, i wanted one and found at retail whist on holiday so it's a reminder of the holiday and i don't have to take it seriously i have a vintage automatic timex if i need a watch for half a day without distractions and a silver gmw-b5000 Because it has so many advantages for my needs.
One of my best friends from University in the United States was British. I'm a 6ft tall American and nobody could cut me down to size like he did and keep me humble. When you two go back and forth it just kills me. Only thing that could make your podcast better would be some Cockney expressions. Witty Americans will eat it up and it just seems right up your alley to do it.
The Christopher Ward Twelve from a look and finish is bit like a cross over of the Aqua Terra and a constellation. Ignoring the movement/anti magnetic for a moment, the difference in price is 😮 Is the movement worth that c.£5k difference?
Hi, I think you selected a beautiful set of watches, but I'd suggest one you probably know already and a Swiss underrated watch. So: I recently bought a Seiko SRPG27 and I adore it. I think it's very beautifully designed, has a fabulous buid quality and is very accurate. It is somewhat small, but fits well and has a nice presence on the wrist. / The other of Swiss origin. The brand has many ugly models, but my Zeno Airplane Diver is a beast of a watch. It is not that accurate, but it is a watch that grows on you. Functional, has some nice details that point it almost to professional type watches and is quite affordable. So, thanks for your videos and insights. Cheers.
With the Casio G-Shock, the digital display is difficult to read unilluminated. Also, for 10 min an hour, you will be unable to read the display because the hands are blocking it.
Great list! I'd like to add orient to it. In the "budget" world, orient brings so much. Whatever your style, they have something that is likely to get you thinking about what you like and don't like in a watch. Orient sort of starts you thinking about what you would want in a future watch purchase. And for me, was the first watch that made me think "oh yeah, I'd pay $5-$6-$700 for XYZ watch". Also, the duro is so good. I've had mine about 8-9 years and have absolutely worn it to the moon and back. Plus I cook for a living, so it's really gotten worn and used. It does wear smaller than its dimensions suggest, but it's still 44mm it adds to the charm of the watch, but some wrists don't want that. Either way, I'd be happy wearing the duro digging a ditch or to a cocktail party. Plus, it looks amazing on every strap you can throw at it.
Indeed. I have a dozen odd Orient watches, most of them being 1970's and 1980's vintage ones that I dont have in my daily wear rotation, but at least 2 or 3 'modern' styles which I also enjoy, and most of them being quite accurate for their price point. I also have a Vostok Komandirskie that I wear at work when the 'safety guy' wont allow 'any battery powered watch' due to the possible presence of an explosive atmosphere and wont allow my G-Shock, which is total BS, but....the Vostok has proved to be quite robust in the same way the G-Shock is, and inexpensive and accurate enough not to curse it for being minutes off the day after a reset.
It amuses me when watch enthusiasts describe G-Shock watches as tough, because they are the most fragile watch Casio make..Had 3 of them over the years all of them let me down, worked with a lot of guys outdoors and every one of them would tell you G Shocks fall to bits..The straps split, the hands on the analogue watches fall off, the screens collect may, many scratches..
I just purchased 2 G Shocks and I have a question. Does anyone else have problems with the strap? After two week's I seem to be getting skin irritations. Are there alternative aftermarket straps out there that are not resin? If so what do recommend?
On that Timex Q "pepsi" watch: It seems to defeat the point of the blue/red bezel ring, as it is not a GMT and only shows 12 hour time. The original point of the blue/red was to denote day/night at a glance, which this of course can't do. That makes it a cheap, fake style point which I don't like. I love cheap watches when they have some redeeming characteristic or background history... but despise phony style points when they serve no purpose. IMHO.
If you include Seiko 5, you must consider an Orient or Citizen dive watch too. Most can be had for much less the the 5 series and they are better. Your choices were good apart from that Moonswatch crap.
Not a bad selection, except for the Moon Swatch, about which the less said the better. I'd add any 200m small-brand dive warch. I have a Tandorio that is an homage to the Seiko 6105: NH35a movement, sapphire crystal with AR coating, ceramic bezel, screw-down crown and caseback, and mine has an oyster-shell black dial that is stunning. All this for about $80. Best beater I've ever owned, and nobody's going to hit you in the head to steal it.
I've got the G-Shock GA-B2100 wolverine edition in black and yellow. It's my favourite watch and my daily driver. it goes with my gym kit and but ooks just as good on a night out. But not my best bargain. That was a timex someone put in the wrong box in TK MAXX with a £15 price sticker on it Yes I knew it was in the wrong box and had no intention on telling the guy at the till 😂😂😅
You show the non solar, non bluetooth version of the G-Shock in your video. People should definitely go for the more modern watch with these upgraded features. The dark watch is the ultimate cool watch with loads of functionality. The only downside of the dark version is you can't use any of this functionality because the display is too dark. Actually you can only see the time if you look carefully but I guess that's the price of being cool.
The CasioAK is a great watch but you need to have perfect eyesight. Having 45 yo is imposible to read the small digital numbers (so no use of World Time, SW, Alarm, etc). Also the day of the week indicator legends are too small. So i dont recommend it unless you have perfect eyesight

Citizen Eco drive watches are a must for all watches collectors
Citizem is giving tissot prx run for the money not seiko (what integrated bracelet seiko is as known as tissot prx)
The Twelve definitely took inspiration from the Omega AT as well. The hands and especially the hour markers are very similar.
They need a teak dial version like the AT
I have the Hamilton in a bronze case, my most loved watch
It's a great watch. One of my favourites too.
Duro is the leader of the list, far ahead of the others. Glad I caught 2 with the Marlins, newer models have dropped them, sadly. S/S, and NATO straps coming soon.
Have been seriously considering the Christopher Ward bronze models….really excellent looking.
Just received a Seiko SRPK17. AWESOME!! Love it.
What thousand range? Mine is low 12.

I need the Studio Underdog watermelon watch to wear to the Barbie movie.
Definitely Casio. The iridescent GA-2100SRS is my go-to fun watch and the rose gold GM-B2100GD is a great looking upscale sports watch for whenever I want something a little less fancy than a Rolex/Omega.
Beaverbrooks have the Seiko 5 in stock now if you’re looking for one in the uk
Perhaps Vostok Amphibia and Orient Bambino are missing
Should have mentioned Seagull 1963. It’s the best mechanical watch on its price range in the world

You mentioned the price of the Hamilton Khaki Field having gone up a bit. I really love Hamiltons but have notice they seem to have had a noticeable price jump in the last few months.
Discussing farts and moonswatch in the same sentence is the most true and correct phrase in this video.😉

The PRX is clean tho just a shame that the quartz is 400

Those G-shock Casioaks are awesome
I have a 40mm PRX quartz with blue dial which I really like. It looks quality and weighs enough to feel expensive.
Brought the new White lume dial version today. I really love it.
I hate that case and bracelet... Lol
The homage version of the MoonSwatch is that much better, Cheaper too, Thanks Pagani. Its not disposable either. Funny segment!
I have both The Casio GA-2100 and the Casio Duro and I love them both...better than my more expensive watches.
The orient Kamasu should be on that list
The Christopher Ward Twelve from a look and finish is bit like a cross over of the Aqua Terra and a constellation. Ignoring the movement/anti magnetic for a moment, the difference in price is 😮 Is the movement worth that c.£5k difference?
Hi, I think you selected a beautiful set of watches, but I'd suggest one you probably know already and a Swiss underrated watch. So: I recently bought a Seiko SRPG27 and I adore it. I think it's very beautifully designed, has a fabulous buid quality and is very accurate. It is somewhat small, but fits well and has a nice presence on the wrist. / The other of Swiss origin. The brand has many ugly models, but my Zeno Airplane Diver is a beast of a watch. It is not that accurate, but it is a watch that grows on you. Functional, has some nice details that point it almost to professional type watches and is quite affordable.
So, thanks for your videos and insights.
Cheers.
Thanks guys. Great content.
With the Casio G-Shock, the digital display is difficult to read unilluminated. Also, for 10 min an hour, you will be unable to read the display because the hands are blocking it.
Great list! I'd like to add orient to it. In the "budget" world, orient brings so much. Whatever your style, they have something that is likely to get you thinking about what you like and don't like in a watch. Orient sort of starts you thinking about what you would want in a future watch purchase. And for me, was the first watch that made me think "oh yeah, I'd pay $5-$6-$700 for XYZ watch". Also, the duro is so good. I've had mine about 8-9 years and have absolutely worn it to the moon and back. Plus I cook for a living, so it's really gotten worn and used. It does wear smaller than its dimensions suggest, but it's still 44mm it adds to the charm of the watch, but some wrists don't want that. Either way, I'd be happy wearing the duro digging a ditch or to a cocktail party. Plus, it looks amazing on every strap you can throw at it.
Indeed. I have a dozen odd Orient watches, most of them being 1970's and 1980's vintage ones that I dont have in my daily wear rotation, but at least 2 or 3 'modern' styles which I also enjoy, and most of them being quite accurate for their price point.
I also have a Vostok Komandirskie that I wear at work when the 'safety guy' wont allow 'any battery powered watch' due to the possible presence of an explosive atmosphere and wont allow my G-Shock, which is total BS, but....the Vostok has proved to be quite robust in the same way the G-Shock is, and inexpensive and accurate enough not to curse it for being minutes off the day after a reset.
It amuses me when watch enthusiasts describe G-Shock watches as tough, because they are the most fragile watch Casio make..Had 3 of them over the years all of them let me down, worked with a lot of guys outdoors and every one of them would tell you G Shocks fall to bits..The straps split, the hands on the analogue watches fall off, the screens collect may, many scratches..
I just purchased 2 G Shocks and I have a question. Does anyone else have problems with the strap? After two week's I seem to be getting skin irritations. Are there alternative aftermarket straps out there that are not resin? If so what do recommend?
A splendid round-up! Bravo.
Well, for first BMW and middle management job, I'd recommend a Purtuguese :-)
@Andrew, which CW Twelve edition & colour did you go for? Please do tell!…
Tissot prx, my first high end watch. For a beginner 😊
Actually the 40 was really good fit for me😂
On that Timex Q "pepsi" watch: It seems to defeat the point of the blue/red bezel ring, as it is not a GMT and only shows 12 hour time. The original point of the blue/red was to denote day/night at a glance, which this of course can't do. That makes it a cheap, fake style point which I don't like. I love cheap watches when they have some redeeming characteristic or background history... but despise phony style points when they serve no purpose. IMHO.
The triangle markers on the CW-12 are a design disconnect in my opinion.
If you include Seiko 5, you must consider an Orient or Citizen dive watch too. Most can be had for much less the the 5 series and they are better. Your choices were good apart from that Moonswatch crap.
Not a bad selection, except for the Moon Swatch, about which the less said the better. I'd add any 200m small-brand dive warch. I have a Tandorio that is an homage to the Seiko 6105: NH35a movement, sapphire crystal with AR coating, ceramic bezel, screw-down crown and caseback, and mine has an oyster-shell black dial that is stunning. All this for about $80. Best beater I've ever owned, and nobody's going to hit you in the head to steal it.
I just could not bond with the 2100. The negative display and date are un readable. Navigating it is also horrible compared to the 5600.
I've got the G-Shock GA-B2100 wolverine edition in black and yellow. It's my favourite watch and my daily driver. it goes with my gym kit and but ooks just as good on a night out. But not my best bargain. That was a timex someone put in the wrong box in TK MAXX with a £15 price sticker on it
Yes I knew it was in the wrong box and had no intention on telling the guy at the till 😂😂😅
You show the non solar, non bluetooth version of the G-Shock in your video. People should definitely go for the more modern watch with these upgraded features. The dark watch is the ultimate cool watch with loads of functionality. The only downside of the dark version is you can't use any of this functionality because the display is too dark. Actually you can only see the time if you look carefully but I guess that's the price of being cool.
The CasioAK is a great watch but you need to have perfect eyesight. Having 45 yo is imposible to read the small digital numbers (so no use of World Time, SW, Alarm, etc). Also the day of the week indicator legends are too small. So i dont recommend it unless you have perfect eyesight
