11 Watches That Get The MOST Compliments From Watch Lovers 

Still get the most compliments from my Omega DeVille GMT with the Armadillo bracelet. I've been wearing for nearly 15 years.

Glad you mentioned IWC. It's a brand that doesn't get nearly enough love. Beautiful watches.

TheTudor Black Bay GMT definitely gets the most compliments when I wear it.

I get more compliments on my Tag Heuer Skipper than any other watch I own. It’s such an eye catching colour combo.

Totally correct on the Hamilton Khaki Field Automatic, Jenni. It's the piece in my collection that gets most comments from non-watchnerds. Amazing value.

Glad to see the Zulu time featuring, thoroughly deserved

I have a collection of watches including Omega, Tudor, Sinn, Breitling etc. In over 50 years I have only ever been complimented once on the watch I was wearing and that was my Omega Speedmaster. I have four Omega watches three of which are Seamasters.

in my experience, watch nerds/enthusiasts are just happy/excited to meet another watch nerd in the wild lol. When I meet people through work, my Christopher Ward Trident, although not in the same price category as Rolex, Tudor, Omega, gets compliments from people wearing these expensive watches - if only because we share a love for watches. Outside our bubble is another conversation. My Trident is my most expensive watch at about 1,100 (CAD), and people don't really care about the finishing or the movement, let alone the price. They are amazed at my blue dial Seiko DressKX (SRPE53) tho, especially when they see the see-through case back lol.

Hi Jenni, Great review as always. I do agree with you that Black Bay 41 and Explorer 36 are often overlooked watches. Especially in steel and gold 😊

Reverso and Speedmaster are the only two watches that I've received compliments on while wearing.

I don't get compliments for my watches. No-one really cares, and I don't care about other people's reactions either, I wear what I choose to wear.

I don’t think there’s a single Nomos I wouldn’t be happy with. Their design language is incredibly strong and reckgnisable, while stil looking classic, elegant and cool.

Great reviews! A really good variation of watches, something for everyone👍

My Navitimer with the applied gold wings and the 7-link bracelet. The blingiest classy watch of all.

Nice to see that a few of your picks i already own❤🎉

A really entertaining video.Great presentation of some interesting watches.

🇨🇦 Nothing to do with compliments, only lifelong accuracy and comfort ! My Seiko is a 1972 Pogue Automatic Chronograph ! Bought it new, still amazing ! 🇨🇦

Omega Seamaster Diver 300m has become the standard corporate gift since Rolex isn't readily available anymore.

The Rolex Explorer II Polar dial is the real deal on getting looks and compliments. Stunning masculine piece.

Ive gotten the most compliments on my Seiko SNXS79K with the grey sunburst dial.

The IWC portofino is a stunning watch!

I have an omega constellation 1999 auto, 34mm I think & it’s bi metal. Always gets compliments

The Tissot PRX gets a lot of compliments, despite being under 1000$, it’s an amazing watch

I've received compliments for my Seiko 5 SRP421, CW Bel Canto green dial, & my Chronoswiss.

I get many compliments on my Steinhart Ocean One vintage RED Diver Watch - I just love it!!

love seeing sinns

Only last week I had a comment from a work colleague who mentioned that she had an F-91W (that was on my wrist) when she was eight years old! The most comment's I've had are on my old JLC Reverso Duoface small seconds, usually from staff when I've popped into a watch dealer.

My Orient Kamasu got a lot of compliments and people thought it was a luxury watch. So, I usually wear a Tudor BB S&G now, and nobody cares about it :D

Great content and thanks that you follow up your own interests ❤👍 and not the ones of the Rolex Fan Boy 😂😂😂

I already have the Seiko that you mentioned. I would also like to have the Longines and the IWC, as I think they are both stunning watches. The one that I would add here is one that I have, which is the Breitling Navitimer. Sinn also makes a very, very similar watch and I would add that one to this list too.

The PRX is just so good!!

Really good list

Essential video, thank you

Got 3 of these on my list...so it's a good list

The Hamilton Ventura. Even my baby wants to get hands-on with this alien fighting gadget.

I own lots of watches. The only 2 that have received compliments consistently are Omega Speedmaster & Khaki Field Mechanical.

Great video and the camera quality is awesome! What camera do you use?

My early 70's Seiko Pogue gets so many compliments.

I have both a Bell n Ross BR123 Golden Heritage and a Tissot PRS 516. The Tissot has had so many compliments

I have gotten quite a few compliments on my Seiko SDS001(7002-7001), the predecessor of the Seiko SKX.

My green dial Cartier Santos gets tons of compliments.

Nice selection. The amount of times I have looked at getting the Sinn 556i is silly, it has been my screen wallpaper on my iphone and Macbook countless times, I have read avery review and yet I have never pulled the trigger thinking it'd be too small for my 7.5 inch wrist. It is a rue GADA watch and is a so called strap monster, with 200m WR to boot...fab, but there has always been the Damasko DS30 sitting in the wings as fine competition, with, if anything, better buils amd slimmer with a bigger face. I love some of the watches from your homeland and they represent true valuef or money. In the end, I have just recently bought a chronograph field homage watch that suits all my needs with 100m WR, an incredibly good domed sapphire crystal scewdown back/crown/pushers with 39mm case.....perfection as my daily wearer.

the black bay 58 black dial with gilt that i get complimented the most

Tag Heuer Monaco should be number one on this list. It's iconic, and exclusively distinctive. Every single time I've worn my Gulf Ltd, somebody has commented on it. In reality, nobody would comment on virtually all the watches that you've itemised here, imo.

Oooooh, that Longines GMT is absolutely stunning!

Made my day I have a few of them

A great video and some lovely watches mentioned, as an owner of a Planet Ocean SeaMaster I can confirm they get a lot of comments. I have to say though that I am a little surprised/ disappointed that you haven't mentioned any of the Grand Seiko's. I know a few people with them and they always get attention - those that know, KNOW when it comes to GS., still a very good video which I enjoyed watching.

Got that Sinn a few years back...still love the minimalist design. That Explorer though... :)

Ever since I bought the Seiko speedtimer a few months ago, panda version, I get regular compliments even from people who don't give af about watches. It's such a strap monster too which is great.

My favorite watch draws attention from watch enthusiasts…and quite a few jewelers when I take her in for a battery replacement! Many of them have been unfamiliar with the brand as I believe they are a small Swiss watchmaker: Maurice Lacroix and the make I’d the Divina (stainless/MOP). She’s such a looker and conforms beautifully to the wrist. She has smooth feminine curves, yet is substantial. I bought her years ago and love her to this day. If I were to change anything, it would be to have her in an automatic.

I’d have to guess I’m not around watch enthusiasts very often because the only one in my collection that achieves some recognition is the Rolex Oyster Perpetual DateJust

I put a black leather band on a Tudor Black Bay Burgundy, and I get a lot of compliments on it (more than more expensive watches). It looks casual but elegant.

Love the Omega Seamaster, it's a real head-turner! 😍🕰️

The nicest watch I have seen within my budget would have to be the 2 tone Rolex Sea Dweller. Hoping to get myself one before they are discontinued.

I wear a Speedmaster on a Forstner Komfit. Always gets looks from people, but not very many comments. My girlfriend tells me that I don't have the most approachable appearance😂

That Chopard looks like the love child of an AP Royal Oak and a Grand Seiko

I’ve never had a compliment on any of my watches while out roaming. Would love to have a conversation with a stranger about the watch I’m wearing that day.

Miss Jenni, Hi! A video possibility for those with smaller wrists. I thought I would never find a perfect tri-compax chronograph with a date. Smallest diameter I could find were 41 mm and a minimum of 14 mm thick. My Dear Wife of almost 50 years got me the 2023 TAG Carrera. 39 mm…..I got the blue one with the date at the 6:00. You and Mr. Jenni should go take a look. A 42 mm Sea Master just looks like a dinner plate on your slim wrist. I have a couple of 42’s in my collection but just a couple. Thanks for another fine vid!

Great video. Interestingly, my Seiko SKX gets far more attention than my Seamaster. The red and blue bezel really pops I guess.

I enjoy seeing you so much lol

I believe you did nail most of the nicest appealing watches currently out there - however this list will change with fashions (e.g.: integrated bracelets that were a bog no-no through the 1990-early 2000s). Here are a couple more watches that have consistently garnered attention and compliments: JLC Reverso - people ask about it and compliment it ANY Cartier - especially the Santos (smaller models, though) Breitling Chronomat (older model) - I have one with a burgundy dial and strap which never fails to get attention and compliments 🙂 Most Vintage Omega watches will just get looks and questions (but in a good way) Thanks for this review

For sure it is my orange Planet Ocean Chronograph that gets the^most attention and most compliments.

Everyone can think what they want but shoot me if you want - GMT Master II with jubilee bracelet is the best lookin watch ever made.

One of my less expensive watches gets most of the attention, Bulova Lunar Pilot on white / blue dial. Especially from non enthusiastic people. But I suspect this would happen with many other chronographs with contrasting dials and clean looks

my watches that recieved more compliments are my omega aquaterra,(former) tudor black bay 58 but in the oem nato strap and my rolex explorer II 225670

That IWC and the green pale one, nicest

Great channel

I own a fairly robust watch collection and NEVER get comments/compliments on any of them. I’m perfectly fine with that. I prefer no one notice what’s on my wrist

I own quite a few watches of different various brands. By far, the speedmaster and the white zenith elprimero

#1 by far for me is the Sinn EZM3, by far. No contest. Clean, strong, legible design, perfect size, classic clean face.

The Longine Spirit Zulu is a killer GMT for the price. Wears well, accurate. A Winner.

I have wore a lot of different watches through the years. I received the most compliments from a Two Tone Blue Submariner I owned a few years back. I think people just loved the Blue color. Most never even knew it was a Rolex. I now wear an Omega Seamaster Professional in Black, and have gotten 1 or 2 compliments on it, but it was from watch lovers that knew what I was wearing.

My Seiko 5 GMT gets a crazy amount of compliments when on the jubilee bracelet

The 37mm Oysterflex Yachtmaster in Rosegold is my most complimented watch. Someone notices it almost every time I go out.

Chopard Alpine Eagle all day...that watch is just pure beauty.

7:59 Hard disagree on the portofino vs the master control. The indices on the IWC crowd the dial more, and the minute numbers around the edge feel more sporty than dress. It’s a niche case, but I get the most compliments on my Boldr Field Medic 2 from other medical professionals when they see I can measure pulsations and respirations simultaneously with it. It’s the only watch I’ve seen with BOTH a pulsation and respiration ring on the dial. Would love to hear if there’s another I’ve missed. Plus, it’s titanium, which is good for getting knocked around in prehospital settings.

Ulysse Nardin Maxi Diver, I always get a complement.

I went on a Disney cruise recently and numerous Staff, including the watch merchants, were very interested in my Omega Green World timer on a bracelet. Even the girl from Thailand handing out hand sanitizer wipes at the food court noticed the watch and asked me about it.

Only the NTTD Seamaster and an homage piece on the Paul Newman have ever drawn praise. That Chopard 41mm is on my wish list.

I have a Blancpain Air Command, Omega Aqua Terra, Rolex OP and a Longines spirit zulu time but none of them ever get any notice. The piece I own that gets so many compliments it's actually unreal is... My Sea-Gull 1963! 😂

For me the watch that I had quite a few complements/questions/conversations starters were from non-watch people? My Speedy Professional 1861. Contrary to belief that everyone owns a Speedy (I live in Chicago and travel to New York often). I never saw or noticed anyone else wearing a Speedy.

Love your content, Jenni! I could be wrong, but buying from established brands is too safe, imo. What about interesting microbrands? A Ming would also impress any watch-lover, right? Wearing a Helm nearly always gets you comments from watch-heads and divers. I could go on, but while I love some of your options (looking specifically at the Zulu time), I can find more local, and more interesting, watches...instead of the Zulu time, how about a Jack Mason Stratotimer? I'm pretty sure it's unique enough to catch the eye of any collector...

First day of wearing my blue dial 35mm quartz Tissot PRX was at a random party. 2 different random guys noticed the watch and started a conversation with me about the watch. The one guy with the OMEGA Speedmaster Moonwatch just straight told me ''Nice watch!'' out of nowhere before talking to me. I am a little bit late into the PRX game and was surprised how attention grabbing the watch is despise it's small size (pretty sure it's the crazy reflective bracelet)

All for one and one for all - 🙏

I am surprised that I own 3 different watches from this video. Seiko 5 , Tissot PRX powermat 80 and the longines spirit Zulu time.

The only watch I have on the list is the Hamilton. The most complements I’ve gotten on my watches are on my vintage dress watches. Have no desire to buy any of these watches. Still waiting to hear a Patek repeater in the wild.

I had the PRX Powermatic, never got a compliment. I got the chrono version, and I get compliments pretty much every time I wear it.

Hi Jennie, thanks for including my two favourite watch brands and models that I own. I have the green Omega Seamaster which was my grail watch. I have many Seiko 5 & Prospex models but not the second one you displayed. Can you please give me the model number of that blue faced, light blue bezel model. Much appreciated, regards, Larry

As GMTs go, the Longines beats the hell out of the Tudor. The Tudor hits you in the face like a brick. The Longines is so much more subtle, balanced and sophisticated.

My compliment goes to Jenni for her stunning good looks ‼️ Forget the watches ‼️

My omega swatch mission to earth is my most complimented watch by far

My GMT Master 2. Even if they don’t say anything, the way that people look at my wrist tells me that they know the value of the watch.

My B58 navy blue is my most recognized watch, my Seiko 5 Sports Brian May get the most compliments

I enjoy your fun and instructive videos Jenni and you deliver your message in such an engaging manner, but as English is your second language (and one which you speak Very well), that makes it even easier to fall into making one of the most common English speaker's mistakes, that of misusing the word "simplistic", a word which in fact does not mean "very simple", as you and most people are mistakenly using the word, but instead, actually means "overly simplified", which is essentially the opposite meaning to the meaning that was meant to be conveyed. I am telling you this not to be pointlessly critical, but because I believe that you are the sort of intelligent person who would appreciate this improvement and would not want to be presenting a verbal meaning that was unintended. Best wishes, Chris

You are too cute, Jenni… Thanks for all your comprehensive reviews and observations!

Speaking of IWC, the Big Pilot gets a lot of compliments!

Omega Seamaster 300 and Rolex Submariner are my favorites !

My JLC Double Reverso gets the most love!

There are 2 GS watches people have commented on that I wear. One more because they recognize it and the other because they think it's beautiful. Also a few comments on a black Seiko sarb.

I know its a cheap watch but I used to get a bunch of compliments on my invicta grand diver from women. women would want to buy one for their husband's and I finally gifted it to a lesbian friend of mine after she offered to buy it, she had a thicker wrist than mine, I still have fond memories of that watch ⌚ I might pick up another green invicta diver one day,
