5 Watches You Should NEVER Buy! 

These may seem like logical points, but sometimes the fog of war in the AliExpress checkout window can be brutal. I needed to be reminded of these! Thanks, JOMW 😅

I like how if you buy an Invicta you can technically hit all 5 of these points in one watch

Spoken like a victim of their own collecting habits

"You should buy watches you love and you wear!" "Don't buy 10 casios" Conflicting information for me Jody! Give me all the square casios!

"Watches you can't afford"- glad you left that out. 😂 tbh that's the least of my problems now that I've gotten into the better AliExpress offerings. Heritage and history be damned! 😊

Meanwhile me, with 5 chronographs that at this point look so similar to each other that I can't remember whether I wore one of them already the day before or not lmao

I have two identical Lorus Titanium RG877CX9. But they look completely different, one is as new, on a red Zulu strap the other is 20+ yrs old, worn smooth by use and lives on brown leather. Chalk and cheese.

For every 4-5 nice watches I’ve bought, I could’ve got 1 really nice watch. The point is, don’t settle for something now when you could save and get something you truly want. Great points jody

Too similar hit me hard. As I sit here with two casioaks, many diver watches, several Seikos and Casios.

Totally agree, owning 4 of ga 2100s

It’s great to have confidence in your choices, and I agree with the Jodymeister there. But if you only wear divers or g-shocks, and you “never wear a dress watch,” ask yourself why. Stretch a little. Don’t buy a $1,000 dress watch; but a black Orient Bambino for $150 might help you expand your horizons … and might be better on a job interview or at a wedding.

Hey, enjoy your channel. Thanks for the information. You have given me a great impression of San Martin watches. I will turn 65 this next month so I bought a watch for that. It’s a San Martin. I’ll paste the model number below. I live in the southeast United States. It gets very hot here in the summer and humid. Recently, my wife and I took a trip down to mid Florida near Orlando. It was extremely hot down there and we did stay in an air-conditioned room. Thank God. The watch took on moisture probably from condensation and stop running . We were only down there about four days. When I return home to the Carolinas, I pulled out the stem and placed it in some raw rice for about 48 hours. It seem to respond well keeping fairly good time, but not as good. Then it stopped. I began texting the people from San Martin, as I had only had to watch less than a month. I told him that the watch has never been in contact with water. It has never touched water to my knowledge. I do not bath or shower with a watch. I do not even wash my hands with a watch. I told him it was strictly a condensation matter. I spent about US$50 shipping it back to China and I have not received any messaging from them. I was surprised that a watch which is a little bit more expensive than most affordable China watches wood take on moisture like that. I also took a long a cheaper Bernie watch. It’s the orange faced watch with the cut out for date showing three days. We had no problems. Any advice? Thank you. San Martin Vintage GMT Watch SN005-G4😮

Enjoying these shorts!

But, Casio has a plethora of colorways for any given G-Shock! I just purchased yet another DW-6900 because it had the 4th of July colors with the American flag on the backlight screen. Love that watch!

You made me want a purple watch now

I say consider what you like, vs what you need. I love my Invicta Pro Diver, but I also need a countdown timer so I don't forget when I have food in the oven. For that I have my Casio A-500. The six other watches I own sit in the box and do nothing (except my G-shock during cold-weather months). So I can confirm impulse purchases are almost as bad for the budget as cigarettes are.

This is good advice. You could have saved a lot of money in the past.

Totally agree with all that apart from the you can only wear 1 watch I always wear two. Which now many are also doing.

Jody, you have done an awesome job with your short videos. Another step towards a watch education in a minute or two. Bravo.

Included in the too similar tip.. Is included the movement.. After one NH35A from Aliexpres is enough for me

I agree with all these except the wacky watch part. Saying that everyone should have one I think is a little limited. Instead decide how much you like the full wackadoodle pieces and buy accordingly. I personally find having more than one unusual watch makes me want to buy more and I like wearing them because they're different.

Bought an Invicta Pro Diver on Amazon sale. Cheap as chips, awesome watch. I have a big wrist, it just is to bulky to my taste. Back to my Festina Extra F20250/2 Dress watch. Damn I love that watch as a daily ❤

And now you are the Master of the Short! Well done. Mr. Prolific!!! (JOMV) Just One More Video. And yet the quality is there 🎉

Guilty of this myself. I LOVE military inspired field watches and the other day i noticed in my watch box I've got about 4 watches that look almost identical 😮

Yes i do need my 10th identical G Shock, because Colors!

Hysterical! The “one wacky piece“ he shows is coincidently actually the exact “one wacky piece” I have in my collection. It’s the XERIC Halograph II Automatic real bronze, blue faced watch, and is the most unique, fun, conversation piece automatic I own, and my name is Eric, so I had to have the Xeric! 👍🏽

Probably the best advice given

Good five points. I would have added "one more advice": Don't buy a watch that is overpriced in your opinion or that you can not afford. You would always regret it.

Oi😮, Jody, Noooooo. Are you saying my Casio Duro’s in Black, Gold trim, Blue and Pepsi bezel are too many? They all get wrist time. I love them.

Good advice Jody. I must admit l have 6 Seikos. 3SKX 007,s and 3 009,s. Just love em.😅

I have a purple watch. I love it. GShock

I literally just bought a purple watch 😂 now im nervous. No i love it , DuFrane Barton Springs ll with the Hill country wine dial. Awesome dive watch!

I agree. Except for the last one 😂. You can never have enough square G-Shocks and they are not the same. MRG, G-Squad, Solar, Bluetooth, Multiband6, different colors 😅.

Always good advice. Yet I still make them haha. I rarely use dress watch and for some reason I decided to get one a couple of months back. It was used once and that’s it.

Great advise mate!

Great video and fantastic advice.

G-Shocks are affordable enough to have a few. Different styles and colors for different occasions. 😀

I have too many dress/long sleeve shirt office watches one of which is also a bit wacky, too many divers and am now forced to find different watches that aren't duplicates. Hopefully the Tissot in the mail as I speak is a good buy and as it has no lume and only 50m of WR allows a dive or GShock to share the day with it..

You can NEVER NEVER NEVER have too many G-Shock squares. 🐐

Great advice

Guilty on all counts with several other offences to be taken into consideration 😅 Now to figure out how to show this to my wife regarding her shoe and handbag collection.

All excellent points. Watches are such emotional purchases though. But I will definitely keep these in mind. Right after I find another black diver…

it's humor at a high level 🤣🤣🤣

Good reminder for all of us, thanks!

True

Makes a lot of sense

Great one!

I have seen too many post of guys posting 5 or more watches looking exactly alike! I like variety!

Does anyone know what watch is the middle one, during the “too weird” section? With the purple strap, thanks!

I thought this was spot on without judging people’s tastes. If you want a 50mm 20mm thick Invicta and you’re going to wear it and enjoy it, go for it. But don’t just buy a watch because it’s all the rage if it’s not really something that fits your taste.

Take your time and think about it. The watches I regret I bought on a whim. If you love a watch you'll love it in a month's time.

So... I have twelve different F91Ws, that's ok right?

I understand the too weird. I have a Trappist 1 super nova and it's been sat on ebay for a month now.

Great list

My casioak is great, but I'm not sure about it. I'm not selling it, I think I'll just have to wear it more.

Have several Dive watches can't get enough of em

What g shock were you waring

maybe i should have watched this video before i ordered the AKnight "celebrations" copy.... just as well it was only £18 delivered.

I have two no nos in one watch purple and "whacky" 😮😱 i totally do not want to wear a watch that 5 people in the room are wearing love my Xeric halograph 2 looking at a Humism Kato and a last laugh from Mr Jones and a balast can't remember the name but the hour disk rides on the minute hand 👌

So I've been looking everywhere for purple watches, care to share which ones those were?

Whats the name of that blue diver on 2nd pic?

Everybody needs a purple watch. I love mine 😜

Regarding wrong size, I live in fear of accidentally buying a ladies' watch.

What was the purple watch with the small seconds ? I do not have a purple watch. Yet.

I'd love a grand Seiko or chronomaster but I usually end up wearing divers or pilot watches and never dress watches

Is there a rule that says shorts must loop seamlessly?

I wanted a gshock but i dress elegant all time, even if im home alone so it wouldn't work for me

Purple watch is on its way ;D lets see about that

Love that you showed the Xeric! Its definitely my weirdest watch.

Excellent advice Jody,, no 6, only buy something you don't have to take a second mortgage on your house to afford! 😂

Too similar... this hits me right in the head. Last count, I have 16 divers. Most are black dial with silver case. Sure didn't use any logic on this accumulation.

I have a 52 mm invicta and I love it 😂

A dive watch, a GMT and a dress watch. Covered for all occasions.

Whats that watch with the dinosaur?

Regarding colour, I wouldn't wear a Tiffany coloured face. The price that a Nautilus goes for is ridiculous 😱

You certainly have jumped on the “shorts” bandwagon. Although I did feed your algorithm on this one LOL

I'm feeling attacked as a Seiko collector/hoarder/binge shopper

I will wear a purple watch so include the same color you showed in the video in your watch launches

Was that a xeric in the weird watch collection? Or did xeric do a homage to a fancier piece?

Finally good advice!!

Yes I do love a good dress watch but i never have the occasion to wear them 😅

Jody give us more Shorts videos 🔥

Size is a big one. Especially when RU-vid channels recommend stuff suitable for their wrists , but not yours. Buy for you.

Wait till you start getting Speedmasters. There's just too many out there. Same yet different.

I proudly wear a seiko sumo on my 6 1/4 in. Wrist, nobody can stop me!😅

The last one he attacked me and himself all at once

100%. This video reminded me of 2 hideous watches (and their homages) which I’m sure that 99% of the people buy and don’t know why, namely, the Patek Nautilus and the AP Royal Oak. And anything so large it looks more like a clock than a watch on the wrist. 😂

I collect watches for what they are & not to wear

Have 30 watches I never wear... so what ? they are mine and I like to look at them... they look great in my watchboxes....

Now I want a purple watch

"Don't buy small watches" - And then shows a tiny little G-Shock on his wrist. LOOOOOOOOOL.

To your last question, Yes, yes I do

My advice after 25 years is buy what you like and don't let some RU-vidrs tell you what you should avoid. Frankly this video is stating the obvious and quite insulting by assuming that people can't make correct decisions for themselves. The decision you make for your is the right decision

Nah I will still buy wierd watches. That is the fun part. Collection can be whatever you want it to be. I still have my Obligatory Diver and dress watch however.

Watch that's suit your lifestyle

Best advice in a long time!

Seriously, size matters in watches 40mm max.

What happen Jody? I watched a interview with you said no way I'm doing 60 second shorts on RU-vid. Never say never lol.

Jodi is a Scottish legend

They're asking us?... if we need our 10th identical looking watch?.
