Richard and I have been friends for a while now. He hasn't changed much in the time that I have known him, but he was a good guy in the first place.
The addition of a date makes a very handsome desk diver even more practical as an everyday piece. This watch doesn't excel in any area, but it has no obvious flaws either. But again I ask, what is your favourite $300USD everyday watch and what do you think of my possibilities? Cheers, JOMW

I wear my Orient Mako II a lot. It is comfortable and I don’t worry about banging it up.

@petro-witch 5 лет назад

My favorite everyday watch is seiko sgg731p1. They cost about 150$. Light titanium watch with sapphire crystal and good water resistant is what I was looking for. And of course it's quartz watch for that price. I would appreciate if you do review for this model.

@stevetownsend1389 5 лет назад

Terrific review. I bought the blue no date model, and it's the prettiest watch in my collection. The bezel insert glows all night long, and its beautiful. It's become my favorite in my rotation. Thanks for making us aware of this excellent timepiece.

@bovinejoni4243 5 лет назад

I have the 12-hour bezel model and actually really like the framing effect of the black bezel around the blue dial. That bezel style is generally underrated, too, I think. It can obviously be used as a poor man’s GMT, but it is also useful as a timer if you happen to need to keep track of hours rather than minutes. I’ve been sick for the past week and using it to track my medication. Turn the arrow to the hour hand whenever I take a dose and then when the hour hand hits 5 I know it’s time for another dose.

Best diver at the $300 price point. Only reason I sold mine was the fact I'm transitioning my collection to 40mm and under peices... And with that, my purchase of the 38mm Christopher Ward Trident C60 Pro 600, replaced the Odyssea's spot in my watch box. Great video, review, and a great watch. Edit: the one down side of the date version is the lack of a frame for the date window.

Jody, your review is spot on. For every day (and occasional diving, swimming) this one really fits the bill. Understated appointments with classy (not gaudy) good looks. Already having a nice dress watch and several "knock abouts", I probably would not drop everything and purchase one right now, but if I catch a decent pre-owned on Ebay down the road I feel it would be a watch worth having.

@jorge23483 5 лет назад

I'm pretty happy with my Hamilton Khaki King I just bought this black Friday, it's versatile enough to be my every day watch in rotation. The sarb 33 it's another option in my wish list as an everyday watch. And if I'm thinking about desk diving I'll buy an orient Mako/Ray or maybe the new models, the one with the tudor blackbay flavor 🤔. The mido ocean star is another very interesting option if you want a swiss made diver with a power reserve up to 70 hrs. That is, speaking of the options you've got in Mexico of course. Nice video👍 amigo. Saludos desde Mérida 👋

Going outside the review and the feedback you requested, as being relatively new to watches I would really appreciate a rundown/review of automatic movements in affordable watches. It seems more than a bit confusing which is better. It may seem a rudimentary request but I'm having trouble finding a somewhat comprehensive opinion on the subject. What is good? Which is better? Could someone provide a link? Keep up the outstanding work and insight you provide to us.

@philcrowe6727 5 лет назад

Jody, the Richard LeGrand looks amazing, very classy. But is it tough? I find myself always putting on my Orient Ray 2 Black PVD, looks the goods, goes well on multiple NATO's and beats the skx (sorry but it does) for features; it hacks, it handwinds. Insanely accurate too at about +4 P/day. I do fancy the RLG with the GMT bezel as a more dressy piece. Thanks again for another great vid, your advice is appreciated and your channel certainly a favourite.

@P_Ezi 5 лет назад

Phil Crowe Agreed. I would add another detail: The Ray (or Mako) also beat SKX for everyday use because of the lower profile sloped bezel. Although not as easy to grip due to the low profile, they are nicer looking and more functional with a dress shirt than SKX. I believe the Orients are more adaptable to more situations.

@SirLoinOfsteak85 5 лет назад

How long have you had it? How is the PVD holding up? I'm pretty tempted by the Ray Raven...

@ramspencer5492 5 лет назад

It's Sapphire and the Seiko movement is really tough. It also has good water resistance. My Mako got horribly scratched in the first six months.

@ramspencer5492 5 лет назад

Seikos have a cool esthetic for sure. Many of them. I won't be buying them until they start using Sapphire and put a hackable movement into their 200-300 dollars range watches. Way too little band for buck beyond the base 75 dollar models. It's really ridiculous, IMO.

@paulw3075 5 лет назад

Firstly let me say....another great review! currently i am trying to decide on a watch at that price range and i do love divers,i have recently ordered a Steinhart ocean 1 as a present to myself to use as a beater but i got the bug bad this year and use a Vostok Komandirskie as an everyday at the moment,i am looking at the micro brands and love the domed look so any help would be greatly appreciated though the RLG is a great choice it ain't quite doing it for me,have a great one.

This appears to be the Best Everyday Watch Under $300.....that someone had to get out of the house before Christmas :) Many Thanks to the man himself for putting these up for auction, the black-dialed date complication model with the ever-so-slightly off 1 in the 12 has a new home in the US and I have to say it's every bit as nice as it looked in the review, I'm very pleased. It's easy to see how these check a lot of "every day carry" boxes very easily. Clean, I think elegant applies here, wearing exceptionally well on my wrist. Absolutely no complaints, a spot-on review and I'm in agreement, an outstanding watch (all of them) under $300. Thanks Again.

Jody, well done as always, my Tissot Navigator, an excellent swiss made ETA engine for less than 220 usd paired with my NH35 Deep Blue Master 1000 for 150 usd, I couldn't be happier and often switch between the two daily both just slightly north of the 300ish for the RL worth a look for the crafty price conscious owner with a wifey who is always watching. Cheers and merry Christmas and happy new year!

@fergiet18 5 лет назад

Great video, as usual ! The RL looks good but for me it's the Phoibos PY007C. Great price and a smoother movement. I have a Steinhart 39 black dial and a Kermit Tisell but the Phoibos gets worn the most. I also have (your fault) a quartz Phoibos which is just great value for about £100 and it looks good. Keep up the good work. It's about to snow here so send some Aussie sunshine !

I picked up a Bulova Lunar Pilot new for $289 in October and it hasn’t left my wrist since. Before that I only wore divers. The Bulova is big but doesn’t wear big on my 7” wrist at all. Leather strap dresses up for formal, and I wear a NATO/NASA style Velcro for every day use. It just a great everyday watch. I love it, more than a lot of my autos. I love the story behind the watch too.

Beautiful handset and applied logo & hour markers, the light play is exceptional on this piece. Gets more positive comments than any of my other watches. The RL bears a passing resemblence to Steeldive's SD1952, the handset is in same style, dial is similar too.

Plus, two Seiko divers. I usually always grab the Citizen. Maybe next I need to get the PHOIBOS Men's PX005C 1000M dive watch you reviewed that looks like my everyday Citizen. At just under $300 U.S.D. that automatic Phoibos with sapphire crystal and an added black rubber strap would then become my everyday watch.

My favorite everyday is gonna have to be my skx😬. Not quite 300 but, with the miltat bracelet it’ll do right? If I’m feeling black dial and not feeling the skx, it’s gotta be my khaki king 2... still not quite 300 but these are my Choices lol.

Yeah I was a bit sneaky with my modded skx. Probably about $300 plus the blood, sweat and tears......

just out of curiosity do you have any watch recommendations for every day around $3,000?

@JustOneMoreWatch 5 лет назад

Sinn 105? Oris Aquis? Both nearer $3k. Black Bay 58 would be perfect if it had a date. cheers!

@@gtbigdog3507 My Blue Ray2 is getting more wrist time than any other. And if it does get a ding or a scratch it is no train smash

I mostly wear my Seiko SARB033 as my everyday watch. I do find reflections from uncoated sapphire somewhat annoying, so I sometimes pick a different watch for a while.

Santa this would be a nice addition to my stocking. Nice review and good price.

My Seiko Sumo black dail, bought it brand new for $300, my daily driver now. Wish the clasp didn't scratch so easy on it but modded the band with a strapcode president bracelet with the seiko clasp.
