Teddy's channel was made for those who really love watches and only for them. Whoever makes fun of other people ,cause they wear cheaper watches, and value a person according to his big pocket, can take their Richard Mille or other abominations,and stick it in their... Money can't buy good taste, and certainly can't make a nice character. Love you all my friends and greetings from Greece.

I have a Tag Heuer 2000 quartz that I bought new in 1997 (pre LVMH takeover). It has spent 90% of my days since then on my wrist. It has been serviced by Tag a couple of times and works perfectly and is extremely accurate. It never looks out of place with jeans and a t-shirt or a formal suit. It is an everyday essential that has served me well for over 26 years.

@wisamal-hakim5531 5 месяцев назад

In my opinion this is the best way to own a watch. It’s been with you through thick and thin. Cars come and go, kids grow up and leave, even homes change occasionally. But your loyal timepiece has been at your side all this time. And sounds like it’s served you well. Brilliant 👍

@lonewolfemcquade8133 5 месяцев назад

I also have a 2000 but it's a early 80s Heuer 272.006 chronograph Albino dial. With the Heuer 185 super quartz movement 👌 and LOVE THAT WATCH. Just the fact it's one of the last "Heuer" only dials really gives it a special allure. Since Heuer became Tag Heuer in 1985

@thethomasj1795 5 месяцев назад

Back in 1999 through 2002, I had two of those. I was very hard on them. The first one was fixed and eventually replaced under warranty, and the 2nd one was lost. The tag was my main everyday watch. Back then I had two Movado Museum watches, one gold, on leather, and one SS on a bracelet that I barely wore. My pride and joy the Bond Seamaster 36 mm that I bought brand new at a jewelry store in the mall. A Fossil Chrono-Diver, and of course a Timex digital. All Quartz watches. At the time I had zero idea what an automatic was. I still have all of them, except the Tag. I still wear the Seamaster regularly. Occasionally I pull out the Fossil for nostalgia. Now I'm heading over to Watchrecon and E-bay to see how much they are.

I'd like to add an 8th type just for fun: that watch that you love but hold back on buying it because of other collectors might say. For the longest time I was in love with the King Seikos and held myself back from getting it because its movement was subpar and everyone in the community was saying that it was an overpriced piece of garbage. I then realised that I loved it and its design made me smile so much that I wouldn't really care about what other collectors had to say, cause in the end, I was the one wearing it everyday. My King Seiko SPB279 makes me happy everyday 🙌🏼 that's the thing about this hobby, many times it doesn't make sense and it doesn't need to 🙂

That bit in 'Raiders' where Indiana Jones finds the grail (holy grail cup) is actually humble in appearance, utilitarian, and unassuming. Love that each persons grail watch reflects this.. doesn't always have to be a bling monster :) And sometimes you have to buy a few silly choices, and even expensive choices, to find that humble watch that you can be 'enthusiast'ic about daily.

I consider the quartz to be able to fit into other categories as you could have a quartz beater or dress watch. I also consider GMTs to be a complication. My six are Daily, Sport/Weekend, Beater, Evening, Complication and Color/Wild Card.

@JayWelchy 5 месяцев назад

Watch's can be unnecessary until you make them .. necessary. Integrate them back into your life, daily routine, daily use. Learn and use the complications of each watch you get. I started collecting for a simple reason - how cool is it to get excited about wearing a different watch each day? Its great fun. The variety is off the charts. Vintage, modern, style, size, materials used, looks. Watch's are cool.

You see I can only really have one watch as I'd end up wearing whichever watch was the newest watch in my collection and others would collect dust.

A TOP RECOMMENDATION: The expanding Seiko SSK GMT line is excellent and Seiko has steadily released fun color ways, limited editions and it has modding support already. I got one for my father and its turned him into a watch guy. He wears that thing across continents and into glacial waters. He's a mad lad but the watch can easily withstand the rough stuff and still look more than nice enough for the dinner date. The bracelet is also quite good for the price point and better than previous seiko bracelets. Jangles with charm but is sturdy. Runs well better than stated +45/-45 also.

A couple years ago I picked up a Casio GW-7900. Was hesitant as I thought it'd be too big, look generic, etc. But I wear that way more frequently than I imagined. It also has some more "out there" complications/functions that I use; world time, moon phase, tide. Plus it's solar so no worrying about it. Partial downside is the strap does pinch a little. Great relatively inexpensive watch.

@Julianpms 5 месяцев назад

Another great video, thank you, Teddy! I would add a historical/classic category. As well as some recent watches, one watch I will always keep is the Omega Constellation my parents gave me over 40 years ago. The classification by dress/sports/diver etc. is probably less relevant when buying a historical piece, but you could choose a personal connection (as I have), a design in vogue at a particular period or a watch which marked a major technical advance. I keep my 1981 Omega regularly maintained and still wear it (in fact, it's on my wrist today).

@jaxcrum1707 3 месяца назад

For a beater watch I highly recommend both the Casio F 91 W and the Timex Expedition. I currently wear an Expedition as my daily watch because I genuinely love how it looks, it's surprisingly durable, and it's very easy to clean. I work in a brewery so I'm usually covered in grain dust, trace amounts of industrial cleaning chemicals, sweat, wax, and sometimes beer at the end of my day so a cheap "disposable" watch that's durable and easy to clean is perfect. The F91W is a legend for a reason. They're cheap, they're reliable, and they just refuse to die out of pure spite. They aren't lookers, but because they're so generic and plain/cheap looking they blend in and disappear regardless of your outfit. If you're lucky enough to actually break or lose an F91W just walk into a Walmart and drop $30 and you're up and running again in minutes.

One of the things that makes buying watches online difficulty is lug to lug size. A 40mm watch on me could look fine or ridiculous just because of the length of the watch.

Congrats. I'd echo what Teddy says about watch collecting being a marathon and not a sprint - take your time, research watch brands, types, and your use cases. Buy a watch because YOU love it, not because it's trendy or trending, because selling one you've changed your mind about comes with a financial cost - almost always losing some money, which is okay if you've had the watch for a while and have enjoyed it in that time. Lastly as you buy up in price and over time, then think about classics and their potential resale value and marketability. All the best in your journey.

Vintage could also be considered a category that cuts across all these different types. Finally, for women I would add “jewelry watch,” ie the watches that are bejeweled usually with lots of gemstones or diamonds, and are often offered by jewelry brands more than watch brands per se.

Started with 3 different gshocks in the BOH restaurant industry, grabbed a fossil machine chrono to mix things up, just pre-ordered the Henry archer verden GMT in silt, and now i am eyeing t some of those B&M Rivieras cause I want a blue watch but that will have to wait

I’ve owned many watches over the years, some moderately expensive, and I will always maintain that if I could only have once watch to wear for the rest of my life it would be my Breitling Aerospace. I’ve taken mine from the streets of Hanoi to the summit of Chimborazo and diving in the Red Sea and it has always performed without flaw. The titanium bracelet and case make it incredibly comfortable and the functions on it make it perfect for any situation. It is a perfect watch.

@wisamal-hakim5531 5 месяцев назад

This is absolutely the best type of watch. Whether it’s a Casio, a Rolex or in your case a wonderful sounding breitling, the one you wear the most and brings you joy in its wearing is the best watch. Nice one

The Tissot Gentlemen is my #1 go to watch even though I have 6 others. Not too expensive so if you lose it or break it or have it stolen it's not a huge deal+ it looks good with everything.

Mine is a Ball Engineer III Pioneer. Pretty similar watches in style. Tissot Gentleman looks great

idk if I'd consider losing a $400 watch not a big deal, but I get what ur saying

A GMT watch or a digital watch with a second time function is clutch if you travel multiple time zones. Sometimes your cell phone will not synchronize to the cellular system in foreign countries or when crossing time zone at sea.

@annenominous7220 5 месяцев назад

My collection is eclectic, but every watch has one thing in common, you can get the time at a glance. Busy watch faces with excessive complications leave me cold, but to each their own! Thanks for content. Bring back your fragrance videos.

Yes, has to be clear and legible

@tjfish9683 5 месяцев назад

Watches are a luxury and few people actually need one. But I like being able to glance at my wrist and see the time. For years I wore an easy to read Timex, but over the last few years have been collecting watches that I enjoy. I have a few that take more than a glance to be certain of the time and I find myself rarely wearing those.

Yay! Bulova Lunar Pilot :-)) my favorite watch

@user-fu1yp6lq2c 3 месяца назад

It's good to reward ourselves sometimes . While I'm not one to spend on high-end watch (I spend too much money on travel, lol), I can appreciate your gorgeous and timeless watch. I love how it's a symbol of all your hard work.And i choose NKUWAN every time honestly

BB58 Iis my beater/daily wearer, absolutely perfect alrounder. the more expensive pieces come out for more special occasions.

I just got a Seiko King Samurai for Christmas that is my first real deal watch. Grew up loving Casio's and still wear them, but this watch is amazing. One of the best deals out there in my opinion. Ceramic and Sapphire for 500 bucks and a classic look. Mine also runs about +2 seconds a day which is awesome. Couldn't recommend it more.

@lonhetrick 5 месяцев назад

What a great intro and overview. This should be your lead from now on.

I would call the "Beater" category "Adventure". Something you'd be willing to wear snowboarding, MTBing, trail running, diving, ect....

One benefit I found to using a cheap Casio as a travel watch is that the ones with resin cases and straps don't seem to trip off airport metal detectors, saving one less hassle and potentially lost item when passing through security.

Agree with your opinion. This is a bridge book. It's a character development book. But things are building. Look forward to your review of Small Favor

I like the idea of summer watches. Usually something that’s colorful, fun, and represents an escape from the routine of everyday life.

@marquisdaily7715 5 месяцев назад

Such a great selection of brands, thank you Teddy. Could Vintage be a category of its own? Collectors could look into the history most modern watches pick their design queues from

@tomhohum4275 5 месяцев назад

Wearing a Casio GBD-H2000 at the moment. GPS, fitness tracker, blue tooth enabled. Closest to a smart watch I’ll ever get. Very functional beater

@johnwebb9242 2 месяца назад

My beater is a Lum-tec. Small Ohio company, family owned I believe, rugged, workaday quartz watches for $500-600. Actually, I have two of them now. Great value, water resistance, good lum, rugged stainless cases usually PVD coated, warranties, good service, variety of dial designs, bracelets, masculine look.

@Canada-gs3jc 5 месяцев назад

Love my Seiko PADI turtle. Way better accuracy than stated from the factory. +6 secs/ day on average.

@vineetavhad3523 3 месяца назад

Hey Teddy! Love your videos and huge fan for a few years now- Please make a video for fatter wrists so bigger case diameters! Its soo hard to find good (affordable) watches over 42 especially in the automatic range. Please help more of us out there. Great recommendations for smaller wrists but we need some love too lol

@Not_Mark_Twain 5 месяцев назад

The Citizen by Citizen is a) dressy, b) ultra accurate quartz, c) Zaratsu gorgeous, d) sporty enough, e) solar - never needs a battery and f) missing from Teddy’s scrutiny. It puts the GS 9F watches to shame at half the price.

@user-wk6qd7yg1j 3 месяца назад

My dady bought one NKUWAN and he loves it. It had been there for over 10 years when he went out with it.

@supermanlol67 5 месяцев назад

My beater would be the gshock gm-2100, i drive and operate heavy machinery and have to do some hands on work sometimes so it's ideal. For my daily when not at work it's the Hamilton khaki field auto 38mm. Currently on the list at my Rolex AD for a 36mm DJ , oystersteel,fluted bezel, jubilee bracelet, blue motif dial with diamonds 😁

@Pittsburghpilot 5 месяцев назад

I had a feeling we had similar thoughts on watch owning/collecting I own many on your list for the same reasons you suggest.

@thehoofnerd 5 месяцев назад

That Casio Duro is my go to beater watch. It’s the only watch that I use in the ocean. Still looks and functions great after three years of service.

@altal2993 5 месяцев назад

Thank you as always...... My humble suggestion for an ultimate universal watch would be an Alpinist GMT. Beater, dress, go anywhere, do anything, GMT and with horological significance....

@JDizzledum 5 месяцев назад

@MatthewEsguerra 5 месяцев назад

Not sure why this thought occurred to me but I'd love to see Teddy appear on a WIRED video. I can just imagine a video suggestion "Teddy Baldassarre Answers Watch Questions From Twitter" appear in my feed someday.

@WatchGlimpse23 5 месяцев назад

Maybe falls in with the Complications, “Romantic” side but what about collaboration style watches just for something fun? Like, for example NUBEO did a Space Invaders watch. Not something I’d wear much but I have a nostalgic connection to it. Thanks for the video, great as usual Teddy! 👍🏻

@hammervalley9509 5 месяцев назад

I love the everyday watch, like I basically want all of those as my collection. Though I think an Explorer or Oyster Perpetual make more sense than the Submariner in the everyday category. But, yeah, this video reinforces my check off the boxes/GADA fanatic collecting philosophy.

@TMmodify 5 месяцев назад

I agree with this entire vid but I'd say that there's one category that's missing and it's the "wildcard design" watch, one that looks out there and different from everything else you might own. for some people this might be something super classical, for some others this might be a LED watch like a Computron or a Pulsar, even a milspec field watch or a watch that's just built well enough and looks really fun

@AnthonySkatz 5 месяцев назад

As someone who recently became interested in watches more for their fashion and functionality, it was quite funny to see the first image for Quartz be the literal watch I got to start my "collection."

@jorgsofi 5 месяцев назад

I’d strongly consider watches from Oris.

@BigRobinho 2 месяца назад

For me, a smart watch is a no-brainer in a collection. With a smart watch, especially a watch with an e-sim, one can go exercise without the phone and still be reachable. And with just a smart watch and Bluetooth headphones, you got all the music you need when exercising.

My favorite everyday watch is a dive watch…. Marathon GSAR. I wear it with pretty much everything from cargo shorts/t shirts to khakis/polos.

When was about to purchase Tudor Black Bay 58, I realized that had to many divers watch, so I had decided to go for Tudor Black Bay 41mm heritage. Realized that was my end game from Tudor. Since i own rolex submariner 11610 , breitling superocean 42, seiko skx 009j ans last oris aquis. This year thinking for omega seamaster aqua terra or longines spirit green edition (chronograph) still making a decision by end of the month
