Most of Sinn's catalogue is made of watches that are perfectly suited for everyday use. My pick is the 856 UTC for the additional time zone, WR, magnetic resistance, date, and easily serviceable Sellita 330-1. I also find the "form follows function" design is very appealing.
Really want to get the 556i rs, I planned to get it a while back and the price has crept up since then. It's also basically impossible to try one on before you buy it though (living in the states it's not in any watch stores)
Tissot PRX - any of them on any day of the week - all day long - just take your pick, wear and enjoy - such an easy watch to live with and appreciate because it’s so much more than it is
Tom picked Nomos and won the game. I own several with 100 or 200m WR. They put tough watches in elegant packages. Not often remarked upon is their attention to regulation/adjustment. All mine run within a few seconds a day and can gain or lose depending how you lay them down at night. Tremendous value. I'd nominate any of the Seiko Alpinist range (there are many) as great everyday watches.
Can gain or lose few seconds per day? Depending of how you lay it down at night?? LMAO Do you also use candles instead of light bulbs and drive yourself in a horse carriage? 🤣
@@BAF605 Oh, Jeez. Making words out of sign calls doesn't save you of the fact that you're being an absolute loser. LOL Eh, I have no more ink to write... Please, send me a bottle. I'm sure you have a spare for your quills. 😂
@@damyr Before you poke fun at him ask someone with some knowledge of mechanical watches to explain to you how mechanical watches vary in accuracy depending on the position they’re stored.
I bought my dad the Hamilton Khaki last year and it is unbelievable value for money. He wears it everyday, with scratches all over it and it looks awesome
My job is dirty and hard, so my daily watch is a plastic Casio not worth more than 20 bucks. But when going out, I like to wear all my watches with a slight preference on my Paul Picot Yachtman III. It gets almost the same amount of wrist time as my Panerai that for a long time it had been my only one. But now a new baby had arrived: a Seiko Orange Monster... I can not understand why I love it so much... it's on my wrist right now, and I can't stop staring at it... really a cool, rugged, and "toolish" watch, still somehow elegant being heavily sporty. It's a real bang for bucks, in my opinion.
I wear my Omega SMP300 daily. It's built like a tank and I think it looks great. Sometimes I switch out the bracelet for a NATO strap, but I honestly like the bracelet.
I have a Nodus, the Skin Diver, which is basically the watch shown in this video but with a steel dive bezel and a beads-of-rice bracelet. It's really nice, keeps excellent time, looks gorgeous. Can definitely recommend.
The watch that has been spending an awful lot of time on my wrist is the Longines Bigeye Titanium. It's been really accurate (around a second per day slow), and does not pick up scratches easily, unlike regular 316L steel. The date window blends in so well I have not found it yet 😄 The 'big eye' is also easier to read than some chronographs that shall remain nameless but have been to the moon I hear.
It's hard to argue with the Nomos and Omega selections. Both of those are great, at reasonable price points for what you're getting. Here are five others: Timex Navi XL - if you're looking to save your pennies Tissot PRX - very cool and one of the best values around, I think Shinola Monster or Runwell (depending on your sense of style) - solid value and attractive Oris Big Crown Pro Pilot - simple, well executed elegant all-rounder Sinn U1/U50 (depending on your wrist size) - both very cool Teutonic badasses
Tom. The Citizen "Chronomaster". High accuracy quartz (often better accuracy than GS) Eco-drive watches with a perpetual calendar, and zaratsu polishing. Truly a watch you can set and forget, but you won't forget, 'cause it will be on your wrist. (Movements: A010 and A060.) If you don't care about the date window and you've got more money than I do, you could buy a The Citizen with a 0100 movement, accurate to ±1 second per year.
So glad the Polaris in green has been discussed. It is an amazing watch. The dial is mesmerising and I instantly fell in love with it. At every glance the face looks different. Just a joy. I am waiting for mine.
My favorite every-day watch is the Vacheron Constantine Les Cabinotier celestial grande complication in platinum A simple elegant watch for every situation
SKXOO7... It was cheaper, hard to kill, more waterproof than you need. It's still my everyday go to cause it doesn't have me looking at my wrist in panic every time i bump into something like with most of my other more expensive pieces. I also have a couple of SRPD variants (the 71 & 77 Cactus) which are great, but I always go back to the SKX on an XL black NATO strap.
You guys are truly entertaining, none of those airs that so many channels try to put on, just a couple of guys chatting about watches and keeping it real! Love it, keep up the great work!
My steel square gshock is my go to everyday piece. Always ready with the exact time to the second), a burly bracelet, and more shock proof than I could ever need. It’s got that integrated steel sports watch look without the pretentiousness.
What is it about the Nodus that makes it feel cheap to me? The super deep dial? The font choice for the numbers? The dial color? I can’t put my finger on it, but it feels more like a fashion watch than anything else.
So many good watches out there! My personal pick was gifted to me by my wife, my Seiko Alpinist SPB243 with a brownish-grey sunburst and cream lum...the hands and markers look amazing and classic. Looks much better in person than the picture shows. 38mm sapphire crystal 70hr power reserve, 200m WR. Labelled one of those "GADA" watches and I quite like for a fairly modest budget. She picked it up for discount for Christmas. After seeing the Hamilton come in for about 50 dollars more, maybe a better buy but doesn't class up as a dress watch as well as this.
My current daily watches are a mix between my casioak and seiko snkl23, depending on the environment. When my bank can afford it I will either use my prx auto or buy a tudor as my single daily for all environments
I currently own a quartz Omega Aqua Terra “Floor Board” watch and (thanks to you) a Grand Seiko SBGV245. These take up about 90% of my daily wear tasks. The Omega is great for more formal/dressy days; the GS is for more sporty days. I don’t like it’s standard strap though so I’ve paired it with a few ones I’ve made myself. If I need a real beater, I have my GShock. For full formal events I have a vintage, gold Girard Perregaux. Collection sorted? Thanks for another great video. Keep up the good work and keep well :-)
I wish Sinn made a good quartz movement. I'd like one but mechanical only interest me sometimes. I wear an sbgn007. That quartz aqua tera I'll have to look into. I actually came across a quartz seamster for 600 bucks but skipped on it. What sucks is the 245 was relatively cheap years ago but the used prices have gone way up. I'd like one just to beat up.
I wear my Grand Seiko SBGE001 every day. It's a little too big for my wrist but I don't care. One day it will hopefully share wrist time with an SBGA413 when my budget will allow. Edit: I love the JLC Polaris, although I would try to get one of the all black Memovox ones.
That Tudor Ranger ticks 99% of the boxes. Though, that Junghans.. wonderful. I always found the AT indices to look like a lamprey mouth. What of a Dornbluth? Too formal?
Rolex Sub Date has been the only watch every day on my wrist for over 15 years. Then I started to collect other watches and now I wonder: is it all worth it? Or was I happier with just one watch for all?
WELCOME TO THE DUNGEON OF THE DAMNED! YOUR FATE HAD BEEN WRITTEN! YOU'LL CONTINUE BUYING WATCHES EVEN IF YOU SAID "THIS WILL BE THE LAST"! NO PLACE TO HIDE! NO MODEL YOU'LL LEAVE! IT'S A CONTRACT WITH THE ADS WRITTEN IN BLOOD ON THE BACK OF YOUR CREDIT CARD! LASCIATE OGNI SPERANZA VOI CH'ENTRATE!!!
I bought myself a khaki field mechanical 42 mm for my time in the German military. I’ve never even expected it to be so indestructible and accurate at the same time. It runs consistently at +3 sec a day and if I’m honest shouldn’t be alive after all the abuse and rough military service it went through. Even more impressive is that it looks nearly brand new after all that abuse.
My daily wear is a Garmin Marx Athlete. I also have a Tissot PRX and a Nomos Tangente 38 Date both of which would wear nicely as daily watches. For 25 years I wore my Submariner everyday, but it only comes out on special occasions now. And lastly I fancy a Sinn UX, the oil filled quartz with harden case and 5000m rating. That would wear daily too!
My first automatic watch, Seiko 5 daydate, 21 jewels, 36 mm instantly became my everyday watch. It's light, looks good and just feels nice to wear. Only regret is that it's not 39 mm.
I’m from the camp that says a watch cannot be an everyday watch if it doesn’t have a date. I know that is not a popular opinion but during the week, I find myself looking for the date almost every day. Looking down at my wrist is a lot simpler than pulling the phone out of my pocket.
I love the date window on the Zenith, at the end of video. A watch must tell time first. Everything else is a distraction. With A. Lange & Sohne, their date windows are so big, I'm afraid I will fall through them.
oh dear.... my every day watch from my collection of around 40 watches (I am not a watch collector by the way) is a Casio G Shock, one of several that when I turn my wrist it automatically illuminates. I own 2 Seiko but I cant tell the time at night. I was thinking about buying a talking watch but cant find a good looking one yet. The Swatch looks good but also looks like it's worth about £75. The Seiko looks good as I get out of my old Jaguar but I never found a watch to suit the Bentley, however the Casio felt comfortable in the Arnage but a Rolex would have been totally unsuitable. The watch that accompanied me the most in my Bentley was a £9.99 watch from Tesco with Slazenger emblazoned across the top of the face. Unfortunately I smashed the plastic watch 'glass' by which time it was no longer made! Life can be a real bitch sometimes.
Tom won that one, hands down. Zenith and JLC just a little too pricey, and maybe too large. The Aquaterra just too thick, especially for a non diver. Tom’s picks were just all on the mark, and he didn’t cheat this time (or course there were no rules to break either)😉
I've been wearing a Khaki Field Murph 42 for a while now Fantastic and lovely watch. Resilient and very accurate I considered buying the normal Khaki Field, but I chose the Murph cuz Interstellar is my favorite film, so I couldnt resist
Hamilton Khaki FTW. I have the 42mm auto, it is my daily driver, and in my humble opinion, one of the best watches you can buy under $1G. As soon as you pull it out of the case and take it off the pillow, it just has "that" feel to it...
Love my Tudor Ranger. Where it quite a bit. Don’t wear the BB58 or sub these days. Ranger, Pelagos and Omega worn. Ranger is best everyday. I turned down a Pelagos 39 though. Maybe I should have bought to sell..
Thank you for very nice video. I'd swap the Swatch garbage with an everyday Seiko ...SPB143 a MM200 for instance (or with a Casio if it shall be in the same price category).
I love my Longines Spirit 37 and think it’s a bit underrated as an everyday watch. From its movement to the dial finishing, its a lot of bang for your buck.
A two tone DJ is the ultimate daily watch. Silver medal goes to a two tone Cartier Santos. Instantly recognizable, vintage ones are actually reasonably affordable, and you don't feel like you're scared of getting robbed for a 5 figure watch... Runner ups: Longines: Spirit or Master Calendar Tudor: BB P01 Oris: Big Crown Pointer Date in Bronze G-Shock: 2100-A1 Omega: Deap Sea reduced or Speedy reduced Tag: Monaco left crown (chunky Boi, careful)
I bought my son a Max Bill Quartz - he did not want the weight of a mechanical watch. The second hand clicks did not align with anything; in fact the misalignment varied depending where the second hand was on the (mis-printed?) dial. I raised this with the German watch-shop and again with Junghans directly. Apparently it's almost impossible to get the second-hand alignment at 450 EURO price level.!! My advice. Buy a Citizen or Seiko - they can achieve the alignment for a fraction of the price of a Min Bill
My everyday watches are a longines conquest automatic 39mm with black dial and a gold Tissot PRX quartz 35mm. I’m liking my watches small lately, even if I wear some 43 oris aquis and such
It's not exactly an everyday watch but I wear my Orient SuperKing diver pretty much anywhere. It's no masterpiece of luxury, and only offers the bare minimum functions, but gets tons of compliments. For $175 it's really hard to beat in terms of style.
It depends what your job is for an everyday wear. I do manual work (electrician) so I would wear either my PRX (green) or my Hamilton Karki field (white face on nato) When not, a toss up between my Globemaster or BB 58. Would love the JLC though, or the Nomos.
Loved the Jaeger. But, there are so many awesome everyday watches. Here is mine, for work related reasons I need both a tachymeter and a telemetre that have second accuracy, I sport the Dreyfuss 1953 Telemetre Chronometer Quartz. Before anyone giggles, there was ever 8 of them made prior to Rotary discontinuing the brand, making it one of the rarest watches on the planet. It is absolutely built like a tank. For reference, it survived me having a volcano explode under my arse. Not even a G-schock sports that pedigree. Now, here is a contest in two parts: 1. What do I work with? 2. Why is it a must that I have both tachy and tele-complications on my watch?
Ich gehe mit der Grand Seiko Quarz. Unschlagbare Qualität für den Preis. Zweite würde die Nomos sein. Ebenfalls eine sehr gute Uhr für den Preis und natürlich ebenfalls absolut alltagstauglich.
I would say Tom picked the most realistic price wise for me. Andrew's tastes a bit too rich. lol. As a Gas Engineer i would prefer the Zenith Safari to wear at work. Quite rugged which suits my daily work activitys!!!
We know you want more watches…. click here: linktr.ee/watchfinder
These discussions are so enjoyable. It’s prompted my dad to get involved in my watch hobby and we do our own game of picking our favorites.
Most of Sinn's catalogue is made of watches that are perfectly suited for everyday use. My pick is the 856 UTC for the additional time zone, WR, magnetic resistance, date, and easily serviceable Sellita 330-1. I also find the "form follows function" design is very appealing.
It literally could have been an entire show on Sinn products. Love that brand!!!
Definitely true! I own four Sinn and they all make great everyday watches. Except the very toolish U1 maybe.
The 556i is pure magic.
And the tegimented bracelet option makes it wear great long term.
Really want to get the 556i rs, I planned to get it a while back and the price has crept up since then. It's also basically impossible to try one on before you buy it though (living in the states it's not in any watch stores)

Seiko SPB249 Alpinist is my daily driver. Never out of place with all the everyday specs to last a career.
Longines Conquest on an Erica’s Original strap. Explorer looks, diver ruggedness and super comfortable.
Oh the Omega aquaterra is a stunner!
I bought my dad the Hamilton Khaki last year and it is unbelievable value for money. He wears it everyday, with scratches all over it and it looks awesome
You can’t go wrong with a Hamilton Khaki field mechanical or automatic. I especially love em with the nato strap.
I hate NATO straps, but my Hamilton Khaki Bronze on a canvas strap gets a lot of daily wear. 🙂
Not if it gets wet,it's about as much use as a field watch as a teabag
Agreed but the watch wasn't covered here because it's been talked about many times before.
the lugs are so long though, especially for smaller wrists where the 38mm would otherwise be at home
everday - Tissot PRX 80
Slip through neighbors yard to retrieve your football, had me belly laughing! Great vid gentleman

It's hard to argue with the Nomos and Omega selections. Both of those are great, at reasonable price points for what you're getting. Here are five others:
Timex Navi XL - if you're looking to save your pennies
Tissot PRX - very cool and one of the best values around, I think
Shinola Monster or Runwell (depending on your sense of style) - solid value and attractive
Oris Big Crown Pro Pilot - simple, well executed elegant all-rounder
Sinn U1/U50 (depending on your wrist size) - both very cool Teutonic badasses

After seeing the Hamilton come in for about 50 dollars more, maybe a better buy but doesn't class up as a dress watch as well as this.
For me Seiko 5 is the ultimate workhorse watch. A day and date display is a must in a daily. Chronograph is optional.
Omega Aqua Terra or Tissot Gentleman Powermatic 80 Silicum or Longines Conquest, Seiko SARB, Seiko Classic.
I’m torn between Tudor ranger or Longines spirit watches. Can you tell me anything to push me one way or the other

The Invicta Pepsi pro diver from Amazon, when they have a sale on is one of the best watches I’ve ever owned
I own 2 pro divers. Durable and look great for every day wear.
The automatic ones are a bit chunky for my liking. If i were to buy again I would try the quartz version.
I bought my son a Max Bill Quartz - he did not want the weight of a mechanical watch. The second hand clicks did not align with anything; in fact the misalignment varied depending where the second hand was on the (mis-printed?) dial. I raised this with the German watch-shop and again with Junghans directly. Apparently it's almost impossible to get the second-hand alignment at 450 EURO price level.!! My advice. Buy a Citizen or Seiko - they can achieve the alignment for a fraction of the price of a Min Bill
Recently bought an Aquis and you will have to cut my hand off to remove it. Totally in love with it
So happy to see the Aqua Terra on your channel!! Need to see more of that
why no longines i take the conquest over most of the mentioned wathes any day.. still some great watches and its a joy to hear thease 2 talk.
The Polaris/Reverso two watch collection is pretty much my dream. One that I'll never achieve, but still.
Tissot PRX automatic
My everyday watches are a longines conquest automatic 39mm with black dial and a gold Tissot PRX quartz 35mm. I’m liking my watches small lately, even if I wear some 43 oris aquis and such
Mine: Smiths Everest
Hamilton for me!
It's not exactly an everyday watch but I wear my Orient SuperKing diver pretty much anywhere. It's no masterpiece of luxury, and only offers the bare minimum functions, but gets tons of compliments. For $175 it's really hard to beat in terms of style.
One of the very best value-for-money everyday watches is the Christopher Ward Dune C65.
Tom's list definitely takes the lead in my mind.
Thanks for this great list!
It depends what your job is for an everyday wear.
I do manual work (electrician) so I would wear either my PRX (green) or my Hamilton Karki field (white face on nato)
When not, a toss up between my Globemaster or BB 58.
Would love the JLC though, or the Nomos.
I’m glad to see that nomos finally has a green dial.
Loved the Jaeger. But, there are so many awesome everyday watches.
Here is mine, for work related reasons I need both a tachymeter and a telemetre that have second accuracy, I sport the Dreyfuss 1953 Telemetre Chronometer Quartz.
Before anyone giggles, there was ever 8 of them made prior to Rotary discontinuing the brand, making it one of the rarest watches on the planet.
It is absolutely built like a tank. For reference, it survived me having a volcano explode under my arse. Not even a G-schock sports that pedigree.
Now, here is a contest in two parts:
1. What do I work with?
2. Why is it a must that I have both tachy and tele-complications on my watch?
My GS SBGV245 is as close to the perfect as I have ever owned. LOVE IT!
From a budget perspective a Seiko 5 is unbeatable.
The Hamilton Khaki is the one that hits the right mix.
Ich gehe mit der Grand Seiko Quarz. Unschlagbare Qualität für den Preis. Zweite würde die Nomos sein. Ebenfalls eine sehr gute Uhr für den Preis und natürlich ebenfalls absolut alltagstauglich.
my square 1521 has been my daily wearer so far, i’ve been enjoying the hecccc outta it
Not evry Grabd Seiko collection is great. But, every collection with a Grand Seiko is great.
I would say Tom picked the most realistic price wise for me. Andrew's tastes a bit too rich. lol. As a Gas Engineer i would prefer the Zenith Safari to wear at work. Quite rugged which suits my daily work activitys!!!
UPDATE. Great watch,,but i'm never wearing a watch that expensive to work!! 🤑
