I think the big issue comes from watch enthusiasts and collectors that EXCLUSIVELY enjoy mechanical watches. They think quartz is cheap and tacky and they rly are a stain in the community... High quality quartz is enjoyed by many, whether its a G-shock, bulova precisionist or certina precidrive, all are fantastic..
Yep! I agree. That's why I included a ton of quartz watches, to piss off all the snobs 😂💔
Yup, I love my Gshock, so functional and comfortable to wear
@@TopTierTickerare they not snob proof then?
If you like a watch that's all that's important. There's great mechanical and quartz movements. Maintenance is a bit less, as a daily driver, for a quartz movement as well. Just makes sense for some people.
I buy what I like and have been happy with the 2, soon to be 3, that I have. 2 of the 3 are quartz (Armourlite and Citizen) and 1 antique mechanical pocket watch (23 jewel Illinois Bunn Special).
@@TopTierTickerthank you for uploading, I have a Seiko as the everyday wearer.
I have been waiting for a year for a Rolex date just , is Rolex worth the hype ?
Many thanks in advance👍
This is exactly what I was looking for. Many thanks!
Marvelous recommendations. Thanks!
Thanks for this great video! I appreciate the chance to learn about these fine watch brands.
Love the selection of watches you chose. I also learned a lot especially the Moon Watch alternative
Great list. Excited to see Laco and Yema that most don’t discuss or just ignore. They are wonderful watches for the prices with genuine history and pedigree.
Couldn't agree more! Fantastic brands.
Excellent video! Thank you so much for bringing my attention to the Yema Rallygraf. That is my next watch to buy!
Good choice!
Many thanks
Great episode
Nizar
Thanks for watching Nizar, it's good to always see you in the comments. I appreciate you.
Just getting into watches again, inherited my dad's Timex and it started my love for affordable, well built, and good looking watches
Cool watch! Enjoy my friend. Welcome back to the dark side 😆
if you sail the sea, go with Casio. I own two Tissot, identical, chronometers one in black face one in white face, bought them I Geneva when I could afford more expensive watches but the Tissot do it for me, elegance and reliability. Glad to see them mentioned in your collection.
Couldn't agree more with this list, because it basically reflects half of my collection! I own the Casio CA-53, a metal "Casioak" (GM-2100), the Bulova Lunar Pilot, the Tissot PRX and a watch with Seiko's new NH34 GMT movement in it (OceanX Sharkmaster GMT).
Nice choices sir! Enjoy your well curated collection! 🙏
The Boluva Lunar Pilot 43 in blue is gorgeous.
Isn't it, they nailed the colour combo on that piece!
Check out the meteorite version it's so beautiful!
The ultimate flex is enjoying what you have, whether someone else likes it or not.
Love the casio CA-53, everyone should have one! The Citizen Garison looks like a great pilot watch, eco drive and titanium, spot on! Im so glad Bulova have released a smaller Lunar pilot, its a fantastic looking watch and I'll definitely consider the 43mm version. Great list Kieron, love em all!! Cheers 👍
Thanks Rik! When I eventually release my own watch, you're the first person who's getting one for free. I appreciate the continued support.
@@TopTierTicker You're welcome, always look forward to your videos. Definitely looking forward to your grand watch release!! ⌚️ 👍
Nice review i own two Bulova lunar pilot watches being the 45mm Black dial date & the 43mm snoopy blue panda version out standing quality watches.
After watching this video I immediately purchased a Yema Rallygraf panda on the leather strap and I have to say that it’s absolutely beautiful. I love the retro racing vibe, that there’s no seconds hand, that the white dial has a creamy patina, that the subdials are recessed underneath the main dial, that the lume is blue, and that it’s visually so well balanced. My Rallygraf is getting more wrist time than my Black Bay or my Monaco. It’s definitely a keeper.
Glad you're enjoying it. It's an absolute killer of a watch!
Very cool list!
Thanks bud 🙏
Good list
Because I was spending so much time at the beach with my kids this summer I wanted a nice but cheaper indestructible watch and I bought a black on black Casioak. Partly because I saw Slash wearing an all black watch (I think a Hublot). This all black Casio GA2100 is awesome, it didn't look that amazing online when I bought it but on my wrist it's very cool and goes with anything, so much so that I even now wear it to business meetings and I rarely take it off. I have far more expensive watches but this has become one of my favourites and I think I paid about 80 quid for it. Absolute bargain.
I like your selections for the most part. I will give you a nine out of ten. The only pick that issue with was the Casio calculator. The calculator watch was cool in the 80's. Now days with smartphones and smart watches (not a fan of smart watches myself) it just seems out of place and out of time. That being said I did like and subscribe because the other nine picks were spot on.
Solid list❤🎉
Thank you 1️⃣ thanks for watching!
I'm new your channel and love it.. tried to cheap Yema.
And the prices are high! Still a great channel and I'm gonna sub
Cheers Damien. Good to have you on the channel my friend
Prices have real gone up if Kate , more than most companies .
Some of their higher end divers are heading in the Tudor range in price .
Crazy
Great video. I'm a bit of a watch snobs. I have a speedmaster. It broke twice in the first 2 years i had it. Its now having a £900 service. You have shown some excellent watches. I owe citizen snd seiko watches. Never had any problem eith them!!
This---right here---this is why I hesitate to buy a really nice automatic watch.
It's one thing to save like crazy and eventually splurge on a luxury item (fancy watch; used 'luxury' car; etcetera) but if the item requires servicing each time at a cost similar to the cost of just buying a lesser item brand new, then to me it seems a poor value.
I have heard of not very expensive automatic watches going for years without a service (like, maybe even seven to ten years), but one wonders if:
a) they are an anomaly, or
b) the watch is 'saving up problems' that will later require a more expensive servicing because you've put off a service for so long?
I know quartz is looked down on by probably most watch snobs, but if you can get past the 'fun' of having a mechanical watch, you can't beat the reliability.
I know very little about gents dress watches (although i have a very nice Seiko Coutura). I watched this youtube of yours and it really opened my eyes to some of your recommendations. I fell in love with the Yema, Squale and Bulova....I now have a Yema Rallygraf in the post for my Son.
Wow, that's an excellent gift for your son! The Rallygraf really is a sweetheart! I hope he enjoys it my friend. Stay well
@7:43 what is the watch on the right-most side of the top row with the two tone bracelet and mustard dial? I want one!
I think the split lies between mechanical vs quartz watch, and as owner of both I feel do split my collection both into two different segments too, like I would consider 1655 and titanium gmw-b5000 as my grail
My brother owns numerous Rolex, Brietling & Tiffany watches, but when he saw my Tissot PRX blue, he went straight out & bought one.
It's most certainly the best budget dress watch out there... by far!
@7:43 what is the watch on the bottom row, third from the left, with black dial, black strap, and gold bezel? I want one!
The Rallygraf looks cool
Great, thank you
Thank you for watching Marc, good to have you on the channel!
How do you feel about tribute watches? In example: Heuer Monaco copies?
I've got this watch the snobs may like. It is a swiss watch and I bought it in '98. It was priced at $2K but I found it gray market for $1K. It's a Revue Thommen Airspeed Automatic. But this was the last of the Lemamia 5100 movements, now they come with the ETA 7750 movement. Plus it also has a titanium case and bracelet. You can't it with the titanium case and bracelet any more.
I like that you call out the bullshît.
Good for you. 😎👍🏽
Always mate. That's what us northerners do 😆
I can appreciate most watches and I don’t really understand how someone can be snobby about a watch someone else wears and enjoys. I couldn’t care less if it’s quartz, auto, manual or powered by plutonium, just enjoy it.
Bang on! But this video will definitely attract some snobby comments in the future 😂 just wait for them to roll in 🤔
I bought a beautiful lorus chronograph recently and I'm thinking of getting a military smart watch next.
Not a watch snob at all, but only own affordable watches. All kinds between several Chinese homages and a strong presence of Japanese automatics and solar quartz. I had a few Swiss ones, but not the more expensive ones. Mostly small size ones, which are much cheaper or those which needs work. Today wearing a Citizen Nighthawk which is awesome! Only own a Bulova Longwood, a rose golden dress watch 😊 I like to buy used but Bulova is still pricey used.
I agree and Tissot is a great value for the price.
Lovely to see Citizen get featured prominently. They don't get their due credit even by affordable watch focused TH-camrs. But they've brought so much incredible evolution to watch technology. And I think they make some lovely designs. My only complaint is that they often don't do sapphire crystals even on watches costing $400. At that price point, I don't think it's quite right. Even so, excellent brand. Their Hyperion line in India has some real stunners.
I agree! But I do have a review coming out today of the Citizen Tsuyosa and it features a sapphire crystal for around $300 👀 but yes, typically they don't! Sadly.
I agree, I have a Citizen and two watches running Automictic Seiko mechanisms. They're much more enjoyable to me than some of the "top" units.
I admire Citizen and I'd love one or two but all their watches are the size of dinner plates. 38mm is the sweet spot for me.
BTW where can i find that Yema mentioned?
Thinking about getting that prx or luna next! Just got my seiko gmt in yesterday.
35mm prx would be my pick 👀
Yeah I was thinking that as well. Another one I had in mind that isn't in the video is the Orient open heart moon phase. So that's the real struggle now.
I appreciate your videos a lot, you aren't always spouting about the insanely unaffordable lol
@@demidivine68 check out the Orient Helios. It's a bambino open heart with a steel bracelet and lovely fume dials!
Thanks for watching and thanks for the kind words my friend. It's good to have you on the channel :)
Great video! I love the Laco watches and yes you can find one that doesn’t “wear like a plate”! My expression is “cast iron pan”…… I am so surprised how male dominated the watch world is! Even the British Watchmakers event was mostly men and so many brands literally only make watches 40-50mm wide! To find a reasonably sized automatic watch can be challenging. If it weren’t for brands like Laco, Farer, Kuoe and even Vostok (!) I’d be saving for awhile for something luxury.
Fine review. I question anybody who buys a watch with a 24 hour dial (useless, moronic) . Rather, VK 67 provides a life saver of a sub dial, the 12 hour totalizer. You showed 2 with 12 hr. sub-dials! Yay!!!
My collection is not large and spans from $300 - $1,000... but my daily wearer is my Citizen Eco-drive titanium chronograph... sapphire crystal, 100m wr and it's very comfortable on my wrist
I’ve had the same old wind up watch for 23 years it is still keeps exact same time as my iPhone
The watch I wear the most, love the most and respect the most in my Casio F-91w. It's like a faithful Labrador. Always there, always reliable, comfortable to live with and everyone knows what it is.
I have a baby blue F91, and absolutely love it to death! Enjoy my friend
In my case it's my Casio W800h. I wear that one or my father's Omega
I have a bunch of Seiko Monsters. They’re excellent watches.
Hey!! You didnt include the AU Sugess Seagull! No collection should be without one. I particularly love the dramatic black and white version.
Snobs hate Chinese watches
@@thegorn
No informed watch buyer will own a Chinese watch because they don't hold up. A sketchy watch at $200 is not a bargain.
The blue panda Bulova lunar pilot is beautiful.
The PRX you are showing, I love the dial color and it looks like its between the Blue and Green version. Or is it the lighting in your video and is it the green version? The T137.410.11.091.00?
It's the Green version, but the green is VERY strange. Like you say, it has a turquoise / teal look to it depending on the light.
@@TopTierTicker I love teal. Thanks, decision made for my first quartz 👊🏻
Quartz for a Chronograph is underrated. Great accuracy, affordable service prices.
i will admit that i am partial towards mechanical watches as it stems from my experience, in that my quartz pocket watch could not stand being in my pocket everyday, and it eventually gave out, whereas the mechanical replacement (Waltham vanguard) still runs to this day.

Wearing my ssk003 while watching 😉👍
Snobs don't understand watches! And much less!!
Good video.
Enjoy what you're wearing!
I have numbers 1,2,6 and 8, love them!!!
Niiiice! Good choices you've made 👀
@@TopTierTicker thanks
1 min in, love the bullhead !!
Funky looking watch! But a hella lotta fun!
The Yema is beautiful.
I want a watch from each of these brands for my own personal reason.
Tissot
Omega
Nomos
Yema
I wish more of these quartz watches would sweep instead of tick, it's one of the reasons I love mechanical watches more besides the craftsmanship behind them, and it's also why I love the bulova lunar pilot, I hope the meteorite special edition comes to my country, I'd love to get one.
I agree. I think the mecaquartz 3 hand movement is thoroughly underused! I'll hopefully make my own watch in the future featuring this movement 👌
Only had 1 limited edition watch from Armourlite (isobrite T100 tritium, black case/strap, glow in the dark skull in the center of the dial with tritium accents) that most watch snobs would probably laugh at. Oh well. I like it. Have a 1912 Illinois Bunn Special pocketwatch as well. Tribute piece to my grandfather. If he hadn't wound his watch with me in his lap, the back off so the movement was exposed explaining how a watch worked, I probably wouldn't like watches as much as I do.
But I did just pull the trigger on a Citizen "record label" bullhead tsuno. Probably pick up a vintage Grand Seiko next.
Great vid. Separate note as a fellow watch youtuber, I get chills seeing how long it must take you to edit your vids! Every 4 seconds to have a new image or slight adjust on framing must take ages! It really works though to keep the pace of the content going. 👌
Hey Dan! Yes, editing can sometimes take a long time 🥱 I've found a cut every 6 seconds or so massively increases the average view duration so it has to me done, unfortunately for my time 😂 I've been watching your channel for a couple of years, so I appreciate the kind words very much 🙏
@TopTierTicker thanks man, I think you are definitely right with the editing, I got 10% increase on my last video that must have been to do with the edit.
When did Casios get in the 5k range?
I love the look of the Lunar Pilot, but 43 mm? Way too big for me . For a chronograph, 40 is my sweet spot. Plus, 650.00 bucks for a quartz watch is about 300.00 too much for me. Great video, thanks.
Man alive, it’s unreal for me when u guys say 43mm is a big watch…my Casio Duro just arrived and 44mm it’s just ok on my wrist, doesn’t seem big at all
I had a wake up moment when I was given some physio exercises to do in the water. I wouldn't risk my expensive Swiss watch and bought a £24 Chinese watch marked waterproof to 150m. What an eye-opener!
Oh dear, one massive ommission here. As much as I enjoyed your debatable top ten, which in my view contained some expensive names, the word affordable means many things to many people. The glaring omission here was the non inclusion of Timex (history and pedigree), which alongside Casio, are affordable. The rest of this top 10 can stay in the realm of those with plenty of money can buy, if they want to.
Although i don't have them, i would add Baltic and Zelos.
I know Zelos is a very recent brand but their specs/price ratio is insane and the dials are beautiful. Unfortunately most are sold out.
I'm going to make a follow up video, talking about brands that snobs can't hate. And there's a high probability that these brand will feature. Thanks for watching and thanks for your suggestions!
I would also add:
40mm 1963 seagull
Vostok amphibian classic with 090 case and classic dial.
Orient Kamasu 1 in burgendy or teal
And a Seiko SKX007
Great vid, but don't bother too much about pleasing so called "watch snobs" as they aren't worth your time
Watch enthusiasts like high quality watches regardless of the price
Watch snobs like high price watches regardless of the quality
I guess I don't really care what watch snobs think because, well.....they're snobs. And their attitude towards me based simply on my watch, says way more about them than me.
That being said, I do have quite few watches on this list.
For a space geek, the Bulova Lunar Pilot is a no-brainer, and is a real alternative to the Speedmaster without dipping into Homage territory.
The Seiko 5 GMT didn't blow my sox off when I saw it reviewed, but when you actually see one, and now the light plays on it, (I have the Batman), it is a simply gorgeous piece.
I have a casioak, but it doesn't get much wrist time. I got the blue one, and the negative LCD just really makes it harder to read than it should. Nice watch, but seriously don't see where all the hype for this one comes from.
And the PRX is classic. The Powermatic 80 version is above my personal spending limit, but when I was recently on a cruise, it went on sale for $505. Add to the fact that I had $120.00 of "cruise credit" which I couldn't cash out, and my out of pocket went down to $385. That's a must buy, if I ever saw one.
🇨🇦 I have a 1972 Automatic Seiko Chronograph, good for 70 metres and with a Tachymeter bezel and a day/date inset ! It also has a stop watch with separate button controls !
Can anyone tell me what this might be worth ??
Depends on condition, they can be worth anything from £300-£700 depending on model and looks. Find out the swriel number and take a look on chrono24 and ebay.
When someone realizes his stupidity, but don't accept it, then they start bullying. If you like it and it makes you happy, Don't worry about other people's opinions.
The first solar powered watch was the Synchronar in 1973. A USA brand.
Apologies, Citizen created the first solar powered analogue watch.
“And nothing does that better than writing boobs on your calculator watch” 🤣
I don't see how Citizen and Tissot belong in the same category.
Btw, I didn't notice you including any defunct brands. But if you did, I would suggest Sicura. It's the same company as Breitling (it re-named itself in the 1980s) so it's a nice enough Swiss make, but Sicuras are generally $500-$1k. A lot of overlap with Tissot territory.
I think the eco drive is a great invention and more brands have started to use this kind of drive. I had 16 Watches mostly Swiss even a Golden Rolex, Breitling, Tissot, Omega.IWC etc. (Junghans /German) in the end, most break down if you don't wear them frequently. Mind you mostly were a gift (worked in the Middle East). Now I'm 74 years old and I wear a watch where the look is more important to me and does not have to last for ages! Wenn you get older your outlook changes.
I had a Tissot, production failure after 3 years, repair would have costed 500 $! Never again😢
What is the colour of the tissot one? It looks like both the green and blue.
It's the Green, in certain lighting conditions it certainly has a blue tint to it.
@@TopTierTicker thank you 🙂
Vostok Amphibia should be on the list. 31 jewels 10 years before service 200 meter and moldable
Great watches... But I'm not going to promote a Russian made watch with everything going on.
@@TopTierTicker is this watches or politics? Have you ever promoted a US watch brand when Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, and a long list of countries were invaded? It sounds you just don't like Russians that is disgusting
Great list. Excited to see Laco and Yema that most don’t discuss or just ignore. They are wonderful watches for the prices with genuine history and pedigree.
@@TopTierTickerfair enough, however you can’t really blame a whole country for a rigged system and a bad dictator. Same was true of Germany in the 40’s and 50’s. Do love your channel though, thank you for the great content.
*Modable
Skemi and Sandra are making nice clones of this casio
I love how people shame others for buying quartz watch. Even though quartz watches are much more accurate and need servicing less often than mechanical watches.
I think the worse is when you wear something way more expensive and nicer than the Apple watch and they shame you for being a grandpa LOL.
It's sour grapes. They even use the term "quartz crisis" to try and justify quartz snobbery. The only people who thought it was a crisis was the Swiss watch makers that shuttered their doors within the first decade of the release of the quartz watch.
To the consumer it was a revolution. Customers could now have a watch that was on an order of magnitude more accurate than the best made mechanical wrist watch for a mere fraction of the price.
Think about it, in 1973, Swiss watch exports numbered 40 million pieces. In 1983, that number was 3 million. Over 1000 swiss watch makers went out of business.
Why? Because they failed to capitalize on quartz technology and allowed the Japanese and American watch brands to undercut them in price.
And it was those "cheap disposable" quartz watches that eventually bailed them out with the creation the the Swatch group and the sale of those "cheap disposable" Swatches.
Quartz simultaneously sunk, and saved the Swiss Watch industry.
Depends I have solar which needs very little service
Why would I care what people I hate think? I don't, I like what I like and wear what I wear.
G-shock is my favourite in terms of practicality.. I have 3 of them.. but to me...that Casioak is just a gimmick
Other favourites are Orient Kamasu and Tissot Visodate
Great picks until prx
I like the PRX, I think there's better out there for sure, but it fits the criteria of this video perfectly. Thanks for watching my friend 🙏
@TopTierTicker youre not a snob though ;)
And snobs might be ok with automatic movement version (80h is impressive) but that one is kinda expensive.
I think orient or baltic deserved a spot.
I have a Rolex that never gets compliments, but every time I wear my $20 Data Bank, someone says something about it.
Grand Seiko is a grail watch for me. Too hard to get my hands on in the US. I think the detailing plus the accuracy make them a perfect upscale from a Rolex Oyster/Explorer.
If I see anyone wearing a Rolex I always assume it's a 20 quid job from the market.
Orient?
Love my Mako and Bambino.
I've talked about them to death unfortunately.
@@TopTierTicker (LOL) yeah, they’ve definitely taken internet fame in spades.
watch snob?
moi?
how dare you sir ! 🧐
I will NEVER buy a Tissot watch again. The movement is quartz and I had it serviced by a Tissot agents on a regular basis. It stopped working and was returned to Tissot. They refused to repair it and returned it to the service agent. He told it me was a “Bitza” watch. Bits of other makers parts bin crown wheel and the same story internally. Not good after I spent a £500.00 purchase price.

Hard to list a watch at # 1 when it’s brand name backwards is TOSS IT.
Hehe
Great video. For those not sure about wearing a Casio don’t forget that a U.S. President (Clinton) was sworn in during his inauguration wearing one.
Nice fact!

He does indeed! Well spotted!
squale is not cheap. Good one cost close to 1k USD.
Nice video shame didn’t give the prices of the watches
I've tried to stop giving exact prices on watches, because the price is different in every country. Also, depending on when someone watches the video. If you like a watch I feature, do some shopping around in your local market and find the best price :) that's part of the fun.
I have watches from Rolex, Omega, Breguet, Blancpain, Vacheron Constantin and others but I can happily wear my G-Shock or PRX proudly. A real watch enthusiast can’t be a snob. With one exception, fakes. Really don’t like them.
No one should lije fakes. What about HOMAGES? I have a few from addiesdive, pagani design. In our part of the world, wages are low and a couple of tens of dollars or $100 on a watch is what I can afford to spare. I like them. Got a little Casio too . Mechanical, quartz, mecaquartz, all those watches are great.
Hope to be able to afford and buy the Grand Seiko SBGA407 SKYFLAKE, OMEGA SEAMASTER AQUATERRA 150 WORLDTIMER blue rubber strap, A Lange &. Sohnne Datograph perpetual in the near future.
I'd rather walk round London at night with my steel dive. If someone decides to try and take it I can throw it at them and replace for small change :).
@@russell2975just bought my first addies dive, really impressed Seiko auto and Sapphire crystal and cheap like you say. Good wear anywhere watch.
A real watch enthusiast understands that every big watch brand is now run by stale corporate execs and college graduates - neither of which understand their brand DNA nor has any idea about what consumers really want. As a consequence they squander their intellectual property. What has been enlightening is going on Ali Express and finding many many pieces that correct flaws that the big brands have, and fill gaping holes in product offerings. I’ve learned that the Chinese are fantastic at taking feedback from the watch enthusiast buying community and are quick to implement these fixes and improvements. I’ve also learned that the Chinese are quickly mastering the finer points of fit and finish, and am amazed by what you can now get. The scene is changing rapidly. When I look at Swiss watches now I see clumsy designs poorly implemented, and terrible value propositions.
Revue Thommen you cant beat for the money.
Casio were better off making digital watches only, because they still do not comprehend the purpose of a watch, and that is to display the time legibly !. You know that when you see all their watches have inexplicably short minute hands !
Alpina. Frederique Constant and BULOVA are now CITIZEN!

I like your Video but how many people think about the watch history of the a watch before buying.
It's about your finance or looks, hence luxury watch brands, Homage watches and Fakes.
Enthusiasts do. I massively consider the history of a brand with every purchase, hence why I don't really buy homage watches.
There is a lot of inverted watch snobbery. Watch snobs are happy if brands such as Seiko and Bulova homage watches, but don't believe Chinese brands should do the same. Watch snobs claim to love beautiful timepieces but most like ugly bits of plastic with a circuit boards, ie G-Shocks. I despise watch snobs
