If you wear cologne could you do a list of the top 5-10 colognes? Like year round colognes, seasonal colognes, designer brands vs. Off brand? I don't know if cologne is something you wear but a list of some professional scents would be great! Just an idea
FYI, the Casio A168 actually has a stainless steel bracelet and caseback. But has a chrome-plated resin case, which is surprisingly durable according to my six year old one. 👍
Honestly the little retro chrome Casio's are way classier and cooler than they should be in the age of "smart watches" yet here we are, wearing them anyway
Yeah it's not a real dive watch. A real dive watch needs to have lume that goes more than 5 mintues. As a diver, I would never wear such a watch like that.
@@maxalmonte14idk if you’ve ever worn one on wrist, but I have a daily small wrist and the Duro looks just fine on my wrist. Made some mods to it which probably helps such as a sapphire crystal, and metal bracelet but nothing that’s changed the size of the case. Hope this helps.
I think swatch is THE fashion watch. They're doing their own thing, not pretending and they proud of it. Not always the best but it's a "second watch".
I’ve had a Timex Weekender and a Timex Expedition. They both ticked so loudly that I could hear them from across the room. I’ve heard that Swatch watches have the same problem. The only workaround I found was to only wear them outside. I think there are quieter quartz watches in that price range, but for me the noise was a dealbreaker.
You can also add the Mission Impossible watch. The Casio DW-290-1V. It has 200 meter water resistance which you can use for swimming and diving. For movie geeks this is a good under 50$ watch!
The Timex expedition scout with a leather strap is my daily driver. Fantastic watch for the money. I had a weekender as well but the tick of that one is very loud. Wore it once while hiking and ripped the crown off while taking of my backpack. So back to my scout it was. Also listened to the podcast that you did on niche pursuits. Love your work!
Yeah, I'd agree with a lot of people here that the Casio Duro is a no brainer in the dive watch category. Timex and Casio unsurprisingly will dominate the under $50 category. You will be hard pressed to find anything better than what these brands offer.
I recently turned 21 and was given the watch my dad passed away in his favorite watch it's a Chevy ss watch with a silver case it's gotten me back into watches and sneakers and shit
I really like the Casio aq 230, its a hybrid watch, kind of quirky, looks really good if you put it on a leather strap, I recommend black -> black leather strap silver + white face -> brown leather strap
Thank you for this video. Just getting into watches - and poor! Shame that the invicta 8936 only comes in gold or 2-tone band, too gaudy for my style (have 6" wrist, so 40 mm is my size limit). At the moment wearing my weekend watch, the $12 Casio F-91W.
If you are smaller wristed easy readers are available in 35 mm with or without day and date. You can just get a NATO and throw it on there. It is a little different than a weekender but not much.
The only people who recommend the Timex Weekender are people who have never owned one. The loudest ticking watch I have ever owned. Good luck sitting in a quiet classroom or library. Literally had to throw the watch away because I could still hear it ticking in my closet dresser and it would bug me when trying to fall asleep.
I’ve had Timex for years and the ticking doesn’t bother me. Don’t get me wrong I’d rather NOT have the ticking but for me it’s not a dealbreaker. Although if I were to recommend it I’ll make sure I’ll let people know the ticking might be an issue
HMT pilot and Janata mechanical watches are awesome Under 40 us dollars!! Genuine hmt watches can only be purchased on their official website though,so limited availability
Everywhere I've seen the weekender chronograph it's at least $120 so I don't know where you are seeing this for under $50 the regular Timex weekender is $33 on Amazon right now
Do you think Denacci is considered too cheap? Would love a watch enthusiasts opinion. I've had it since I was attending school but since it's a Quartz the battery stopped so someday I have to change that. I don't really care for super flashy watches so as long as it looks classy and is functional I'm perfectly fine with it. The same model is actually selling on EBay for about $100.00 but I got mine for around $30 or $40 so I hope mine is authentic and not fake.
I would definitely take the invicta over the casio duro, unlike what most people feel. It wears better on a smaller wrist since the duro is a ridiculous 44mm in size. If I'm diving, I would prefer a larger watch, but the lume on the Duro is garbage so it is basically a fashion watch with some water resistance. The invicta isn't better, but at least it sits on my wrist better.
@@michaelvicente308 what did you mean by saying subseconds variant.i also want to buy a weekender but i am not sure whether it will annoy me a lot because of the loudness
I think including a ton of Timex (basically unavailable outside of North America) while completely ignoring any and all Chinese brands is outright bizarre in this price range.
I once saw a Timex watch on clearance sale on a site for less than 10 dollars. Ordered it and that thing had a dial I have never seen at that price point. Of course, had to throw the shit bracelet and get a leather strap for the watch. But that was the first watch I really loved and that watch is the reason why I love dressy watches rather than sports watches.
The Timex Weekender eats fashion watches for breakfast.
The weekend eats Timexes for breakfast
The weekend breakfast eated by timex
Eats weekender watches for Timex breakfast.
@@gabrielmccray3457 the breakfast timex eats weekender.
It is pretty and versatile… but I sold mine because of the extremely loud ticking and the seconds hand not hitting the markers.
Just bought a Casio A158 yesterday. I own several more expensive timepieces but still appreciate having a 20 bucks watch on the wrist.
This is an underrated channel

Wearing one as I write this😉
10:10 Casio Duro (MDV106) is a real dive watch under 50$.
Oh yeah, I wish I had a real wrist so I can wear a Casio Duro.
Yeah it's not a real dive watch. A real dive watch needs to have lume that goes more than 5 mintues. As a diver, I would never wear such a watch like that.
@@maxalmonte14 what’s wrong with your wrist

Some of the transparent versions do certainly appeal to my early-2000s kid side, can't deny that
"It has a calculator!" Ha! Made me laugh!
Super list! I feel like the Timex Ironman gets overlooked. My 38mm version does everything I need it to do and is always on my wrist, especially now.
Nothing beats Casio or Timex when you're looking for a cheap watch.
Thanks for the video Brock! Do one under $200! ♥
First video and love the precise information and quality picture and stats of each watch. Also love each is linked. Thanks!
The last Casio is also called the Casio Royale from the james bond movie 🍿
It's amazing how many "cheap" Casio's are legendary in their own right, like the Databank starting in Back To The Future and so on
Should I get the silver or black AE1200WH

Starts at 2:40
Someone might have said this already but a Casio Duro may be a more favorable dive watch than the Invicta.
Amen
si señor
Thanks for the overview. Personally I prefer Timex or Casio digital or analog depending on my needs.
Great video man, some good choices that aren't often talked about
The Timex expedition scout with a leather strap is my daily driver. Fantastic watch for the money. I had a weekender as well but the tick of that one is very loud. Wore it once while hiking and ripped the crown off while taking of my backpack. So back to my scout it was. Also listened to the podcast that you did on niche pursuits. Love your work!
My Timex expedition is my everyday bang-up
I like how He mentions mm of every watches ...Tom Scott of fashion 👌
Casio Duro for a dive watch is a fantastic choice too
Favorite watch under 50$ gotta be the f91w or w217, also Swatch
Spot on for watches that don’t brake the BANK !!!!!
Yeah, I'd agree with a lot of people here that the Casio Duro is a no brainer in the dive watch category. Timex and Casio unsurprisingly will dominate the under $50 category. You will be hard pressed to find anything better than what these brands offer.

I really like the Casio aq 230, its a hybrid watch, kind of quirky, looks really good if you put it on a leather strap,
I recommend black -> black leather strap
silver + white face -> brown leather strap
I have the gunmetal version with the champagne dial. What a beauty
The Casio Duro can be had for just under $50. The absence of Seiko is telling, as their prices seem to be up on everything.
Good call! Yeah, Seiko dominates the under $500 market, but under $100? Not so much...
Timex Easy Reader all the way. $35. Can't go wrong!
I have the expidition scout and I don't like 2 things.
- shakey second hand
- flat watchface, not a single marker is raised even by paint
I've been wanting a watch without a face just a bracelet shaped like a watch but the face has no clock just solid metal
Great channel! Brock, where is the sweatshirt from?
Thank you for this video. Just getting into watches - and poor! Shame that the invicta 8936 only comes in gold or 2-tone band, too gaudy for my style (have 6" wrist, so 40 mm is my size limit). At the moment wearing my weekend watch, the $12 Casio F-91W.
The 91W is a classic...wear it well!
Casio Duro definitely belongs on this list as well.
I love my Timex expedition chronograph! I would suggest it to anyone who would want an analog Chrono
I have this invicta gold, its just perfect
Thanks for the guide and narrowing down the many choices. I can actually afford some of these watches.
Nice, straight to point
I am definitely getting an invicta pro diver and casio watch in stainless steel very soon!! Thank you for this video video.
Thanks to your review I just ordered the Timex Weekender. I see a few more watches on your list I am going to have to get.
Thanks leaning towards the timex weekender and the expedition scout
This is awesome, been looking to start collecting watches and this is exactly what I've been after, cheaper good looking but still alright.
I have a small wrist. Is timex expedition a good pick?
The Scout 36 would be an excellent choice.
The Casio Duro (Marlin) series... my favorite watch under $50. Switching it to a nato strap I guess puts it over that mark though.
That first Casio looks like my late father's first digital watch from the 80's which was WAY more expensive.
If you are smaller wristed easy readers are available in 35 mm with or without day and date. You can just get a NATO and throw it on there. It is a little different than a weekender but not much.
Love ur videos
Thank you!
Let me add Casio MDW, Casio MRW, Braun digital, and for 20 bucks more a Vostock.
Like the look of my Vostock Kommanderskie, but needs winding so often it's like a Tomagachi.
Great info! Thanks.
This was good and amazing video 👌🔥🔥
Thanks for watching!
Thank You on the Timex Navi for a it call out . Tough watch & looks good & comfortable/ don’t have any feeling it on ! I’m in on your site now.
The only people who recommend the Timex Weekender are people who have never owned one. The loudest ticking watch I have ever owned. Good luck sitting in a quiet classroom or library. Literally had to throw the watch away because I could still hear it ticking in my closet dresser and it would bug me when trying to fall asleep.
I’ve owned one and didn’t mind the ticking, although it’s louder than most watches.
As well as it only having a base metal case instead of stainless steel.
I’ve had Timex for years and the ticking doesn’t bother me. Don’t get me wrong I’d rather NOT have the ticking but for me it’s not a dealbreaker. Although if I were to recommend it I’ll make sure I’ll let people know the ticking might be an issue
I have one and actually like the ticking, I find it relaxing. Great budget timepiece!
These awesome picks thank you 🙏
Just discover this channel ❤️ amazing

I like this list. Would love to see you provide another for watches under $250 and then another for under $500
I'll work on an under $250 video; already got you covered on under $500 - www.themodestman.com/watches-under-500-dollars/
Great video...but..how is tge casio duro not in the list?
what microphone is that ?
Is it just me or is Timex OP af
Beautifully made, very informative video. Gained a subscriber 👍
THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!ALL TIMEX WATCHES ARE AMAZING
Timex MK1 is a cool bubble crystal field watch that is $28 at Jomashop atm.
I put a mesh bracelet on my Casio a16 I love it!
Thanks for having a brain. I tried several videos before this one that think "budget" or "cheap" is $300 - $500. 🤦♂️
👍
Paid $40 for a Seiko 5 mechanical 3 years ago but looks like prices have shot up
We need an updated version.
Is baking soda also bicarbonate of soda?
Timex Indiglo is an amazing feature. I am not sure how badly it affects battery life. Does anyone have any experience?
Just bought a Jorn Silver-Tone Steel-Mesh Watch from Skagen. Found it for right about $50!

What would you recommend a watch with the largest face?
hell no

I gotta check out that Swatch.
Would of been nice to see each watch show a price even if it was it’s retail price at time of video.
Good video 👍!
Hi, can I get an opinion of the Casio MTP-VT01L watch? I think its a pretty stylish looking watch :)
no
I actually have an Invicta! 🤣 Great list!
Wait is the 4:30 background music "WAP"?
Also I have to recommend the G-shock GA 2100
Costs more than 50 bucks though
is it a rule that you have to say colorway everytime after the word color? Back in the ole you just said in blue, in red, in black
great video!
Good idea nice job
But dressy watch selection for 200$ would be great 😉😎
The Timex Weekender is cool, but ticks too loudly. As loud as Swatches.
Get the subseconds variant. Mine doesn't tick even when holding it against the ear.
@@michaelvicente308 what did you mean by saying subseconds variant.i also want to buy a weekender but i am not sure whether it will annoy me a lot because of the loudness
Great video, could we get one for like 50-100 and 100+?
Check out my Under 100 and Under 500 videos 😎
I think including a ton of Timex (basically unavailable outside of North America) while completely ignoring any and all Chinese brands is outright bizarre in this price range.
I need a field watch that is not a sekio 5 because I already have one, under 100$. Maybe 36-37mm. Help meee
are you back in Arizona?
