Ranking (And Roasting) Watch Brands In 2023 

This is an example of why you want an actual wordsmith doing watch reviews.

Casio - the kid you paid no attention to because they were in the computer club and were way too geeky. But then he got married and punched out two really bizarre kids. One turned into a pop fashion designer that all the blokes were into. The other was a suped-up hero who earned a badass reputation in the military and still looks like they could survive a nuclear war.

Only a few minutes on and you’ve already made me laugh out loud multiple times. S tier stuff here Andrew. Keep up the awesome work.

Casio, he’s the friend you take with when you crave eating cheap fast food, taking a bus ride and go to the odd sports event. He runs a small business and when you visit his humble home, you realise his wealth doesn’t lie in the massive sales figures but in the people he serves and the community he has built!! God tier!! 😄

Absolutely love it ! Combined both of two of your known strengths ... great story telling and watch knowledge ... S tier !!!

I got quite emotional during your take on Seiko. You pretty much summed up a real life problem while describing the qualities of the brand haha 😅

Loved the persona of each watch brand. You made this ranking very fun. Thanks for the entertainment!

Grand Seiko, the Asian cousin that never failed at anything. At school always aces way through it. However, spent most of his career in a sterile laboratory 😂

VC - my pesonal fav watch maker - The quiet, sharply dressed man sitting in the dark corner of the jazz bar. The Mike Tyson of watches, sleeping giant you don't want to fuck with. Deadly in his prime.

Casio. Go anywhere, do anything for all occasions at great prices. S-tier.

Once of the best watch channel … what a creative way of putting a spin on watches … great work

Great entertaining video Andrew. Fair play on bringing a unique, fun and refreshing approach. Keep up the good work.

Great effort making up scenarios/stories for each brand. Thank you❤

Andrew Morgan: S tier. Truly brilliant writing. And nearly made me spit my drink once or twice. Freaking hilarious.

"Glashutte Original can't shake the impression that they grew up poor and, though successful now, still brings a sandwich to staff lunches." Love it! Comedy gold. And as an IWC, don't you dare rearrange my desk!

Most accurate rating I’ve ever seen. Although Nomos was excluded. Nomos is always on time, and mom always cuts the crust off his sandwiches. He doesn’t yell about being the coolest kid in class, because he knows he already is. ‘A’ tier……ok maybe B.

“Either way, he’s a snitch”…😂😂..side note, I’m so IWC…wearing an IWC. Great vid A!

First time I’ve watched one of this “rankings” and didn’t care where each brand went. I just wanted to know“who” wich brand was! Great writing!

This is bloody hilarious. Especially the one-liners! ❤❤❤

Amazing description and lovely voice and story telling.. keep up the good work Andrew.. we love your voice and channel..

OMG 😂😂 I wish I could have done this differently or better than you, Andrew. But No. You absolutely nailed it 👌

I eschewed Seikos as being so pedestrian but I have six of them, more than all the other brands in my collection put together.

Seiko should be above all others just because it is very humble which the rich or the pauper can equally emotionally attach with

Christopher Ward is the new guy who turns up in lower six form. He’s moved in from out of town and wears a different fashion to you and your friends. You and your mates don’t like him but he’s great craic, all the girls fancy him and it turns out he’s a great football player. He throws a party at his parents house and it’s the best party you’ve ever been to, you even have a spliff with his mum and dad who are the coolest parents you’ve ever met. By upper six form he’s your best friend but after A levels he gets a surf sponsorship in California and you never see him again…..10 years later you find out he slept with your girlfriend behind your back, when you ask “which one?” The answer is “all of them “.

Simply genius! Andrew, you should write a play about watches. Incredible.....

Omega -they drive a mini van sooooo funny 😆

Very funny Andrew. Nice little story for each of the brands. Maybe one of your best videos? Bit harsh with Breguet though🤔

I think Vacheron had some awesome releases this year that people just slept on 🤷🏾‍♂️

I love this segment of content 😂😂 very clever and witty on a side note i love the hoodie too but let it rest for a while😂😂. Btw love the channel keep giving creative ways then the other watch channels.

I had more fun watching this than I had the Las Vegas Gran Prix. No kiddin

This video is GOLD

What a creative way for a ranking. Bravo 👏

While I was watching the ‘tiering’ of the brands I hadn’t heard of, my 20 or so Casios were asking “Are we in another universe?”

This is amazing - well done!

I totally agree on Panerai. They are on the verge of "what do we do now?". I do believe that a refresh is almost inevitable, but on the other side I hope they'll stick the their roots and keep the "classic line" going. Maybe some new models to put along the historic ones?

Love the humor! Subjective ranking system, but lots of fun trying to guess where you put a brand! 🥳😆😃

Casio. The friend you have since first grade. You grew up together and after graduation you might have not talked to him for years, doing your own thing, when you do meet up it's all smiles and hugs. S Tier

I cried at the Seiko story! Great job!

You gave Zenith a raw deal there. They're at least A tier for what they've done for chronography. :)

Great chapter! Duly pictured the present state of the Swiss brands and their world renowned competitors' market this year. Hopefully there are literally thousands other various options for watch enthusiasts and it is great!

Probably the best video you've done, and I like all of your content!

Wonderful writing. Such fun. Many enjoyment. Thank you.

Creative and thoughtful work. And I am glad you omitted the following from the party: Casio, Christopher Ward, Citizen and Oris.

I avoided watching this - yet another watch brand ranking video - for awhile. I should have known otherwise: only Andrew could have brought such freshness and wit. Yet another brilliant video from the Talking Hands channel.

Absolutely brilliant ! Best Tier List ever !

You didn’t invent the tier rankings but you definitely perfected it. Well done and thanks for the laughs

Possibly the best commentary on a watch video, ever! Nice work 😂

😂Absolutely Hilarious! Well done Andrew.

Ulysse Nardin was that bloke in the classroom who spent his time doodling and making jigsaw puzzles. When he passed away, he ended up being covered in concrete and sculptured into an effigy of the Buddha.

Always tread in dog poop ... 🤣😂🤣👏 . BTW - Panerai also is rocking some sweet acid wash jeans.

Need a part II this is sooo good!!

This was great. Refreshing way to rank❤

Super fun twist on the tier list concept! Love it

Seiko and Rolex, are true friends indeed. I have 6 Seikos and 7 Rolexes, I wear my Seiko when I need to do the hard job, and wear Rolex when I receive the trophy.

Great way to start the week since two thirds of my collection are Seikos. Excellent roast through brand personification 😂

No wonder I like Omega so much. You just described me!

No way Rolex in S Tier

Haha I really loved Breguet, Seiko and Rolex 😂😂 this was so much fun!

Big fan from Cebu Philippines!

This is gold... IWC and GS killed me

Andrew you nailed it 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Andrew, cool work. I wonder just how many hours of work you put in to create this magical mix of horology and words, of which you are master of both. I also imagine there is a lot more going on with you, but for that, we will have to wait patiently. Thank you So much.

No idea why this all made so much sense!

Great video. Disagreed with Blancpain though. I have the 2023 BP Bathyscape Calendar Compet Moonphase. I own many other brands and my BP is by far the highest horology quality of my collection. (Avatar included) Of course, It did help I got 20% off RRP on my brand new Bathyscape model from my AD. 😉 Cheers!

Sir you made my day.... Best vid in 2023.

Simply superb - and dare I say spot on. The best bits were the roasts about the holding companies...er....parents.

That was refreshing! I now have faces from school or work for each watch hahaha

Thank you!!! This is hilarious 😂 PP inbreeding got me laughing loud 😂

Nomos, the Bauhaus architect you wish your child would date: Beautiful face, simple yet elegant, writes witty texts, won't rob your savings account. A tier

Swatch x's Moonswatch / Blancpain: Regularly arrange to meet up at Weatherspoon's, but for some reason they never make it. To frightened to tell you that the mechanism failed and they turned up 4 and a half hours late, after the pub had already shut.

You got Tudor right on the money, well done 😂👌🏼. I own one btw love it to death

Brilliant. Bravo 👏🏼! Couldn’t stop laughing, mate. What a great idea 👌🏻. Much respect for treating Seiko as they deserve🙏🏻

excellent! surprised that nomos wasnt included, but even more surprised how quick the 15 minutes passed watching this video 😊

This video is spot on - and hilarious. Well done sir😃

I would have placed Omega in the A Tier, but the Seiko placement more than made up for it. Fun, yet very accurate chart. S Tier watch channel and watch reviewer.

Purrrrfection thanks for the labor, this is epic

The Seiko segment was class and so true.

This is just plain brilliant. Kudos

I think we all feel the same about Seiko and its description. Will never let you down. Missed Casio btw.

Totally agree with Seiko, ubiquitous and reliable yet don’t get the credit they deserve. Disappointed Breguet only a C and where is Oris who is that independent sort who goes his own way whilst wearing his heart on his sleeve 😢

Epic and Seiko on S tier🎉🎉🎉 I know secretly you snuck Casio there too 😂

Yeah this is great 😂 very funny, very entertaining.. the take on Breitling was a favourite

This makes me feel like I really need to read your book. S-tier stuff.

Brilliant Andrew. You should write a book.

Casio; Ken Clark aka Superman Yeah, definitely double S tier 😊

Great list! Enjoyed the video.

Panerai and Breguet both made me genuinely made me LOL. Glad to see Moser in S.

Amazingly written, kudos!

For Tag Heuer: the guy that was never good at anything except cars. Fixing and always working in his garage. Made a name for himself racing his cars. With his reputation in the motor sport world he made it to a racing movie once, next to a racing star. The Great McQueen. People respected him and called him after his last name Heuer. Fame got the best of him. Made a mistake too young, he got married soon, wife and kids changed his life, to a boring suburban one. From the famous Heuer of the car garage to the pathetic Tag, his firs name. From muscle shirts in the garage to boring pullovers, from racing chronographs to connected Chinese tablets. Secretly everyone is cheering for him to throw all in the bin and be his old self again. Heuer.

Absolutely Brilliant. What a mind ! little bit scary maybe but excellent all the same. Love love the channel. THANK YOU

I have never wanted to multi Like a video... I have never wanted to do it so many times. Great work

Rolex & tudor need to be C

One of the best watch related videos ever :D

Your description of IWC makes it seem very fitting that Gus Fring wears a Portugieser.

😂 You do have a very vivid imagination my friend! 🤣👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Edit: I thought I laughed enough with Hublot, however the comment on Tudor as second in line, always a bridesmaid but never a bride made me roar out in uncontrollable laughter 😂😂😂. 6:11 “E tier” this gave me a cackle. Too funny.

Pure class 😂. Awesome video.

I almost cried for Seiko. Awsome video.

By far the best watch video on RU-vid. $-tier content!

Catflapps that bark? Baghahahaha! That was great.😆😂🤣🤣😄😾
