As a poor grad student / former swimmer / lifeguard/ watch nerd who has loved your videos and always refer them to friends- love that you cover such a wide price range. I've swam and used my Casio Duro for diving, and the Orient Kamasu is my favorite piece in my modest collection (and it's also seen water). Feel like a diver is one of the best choices all around for someone starting their collection.

@soraisfinallyhere1305 Год назад

Gonna have to look into a Duro as a fellow broke college student but I recently got a Kamasu “2” and in love with it!

@@soraisfinallyhere1305 I don't have an orient, but I do have a Seiko SRPD and honestly the Casio rivals it. Of course the Seiko is better quality, but the bang for buck from the duro is incredible. I should add that the Casio is quite large. I have 7.5 inch wrists and it's borderline large on me.

@faceup5 Год назад

I have truly learned so much from your videos. A watch is such a part of the wearer, the owner. It's a part of their personality and history, or maybe just their mood on a particular day. They give us something to aspire to and something to look back on. So many beautiful tastes, styles, price ranges, etc. I love the way you catagorize these videos, still offering ranges within catagories. I love it!

Outstanding program, Teddy! Thank you for making the effort at consistently great production value.

@GraphicDesignerStephen Год назад

Great video, Teddy! I think the popularity of dive watches is that there is so much variation in the segment, so you’re bound to find something you like, regardless if you’re a low-level desk jockey, a weekend warrior, or a hardcore SCUBA dude. Please continue to do videos like this for other segments.

@johnnychen235 Год назад

Great video, and love your creativity of the 4 categories, outside the box classification yet highly relevant. More videos like this please!

@juanfranciscoaraujorank3564 Год назад

Another 2 great and affordable options are, in my opinion, the Glycine Combat Sub 42 and the Certina DS Action Diver. I think they are very underrated and the quality is there considering their prices.

@drnick40 Год назад

Absolutely the best review of the most popular sports watch category- the diver watches. Teddy, thank you very much! I own a few of the one you mentioned. However I still love my BB 58 Blue perhaps more than most. Something about its proportions, weight, looks and intrinsic quality make this watch worth more than the sum of its parts to me.

@vinylucky4271 Год назад

I love the Montblanc 1858 Iced Sea as an everyday dive watch. You can take it for a dive but also wear it for an office job. I have owned it for some time now, and it's very versatile and suitable for all occasions. The dial design is just superb. I hope to see it in one of your videos in the future!

@JuanOrtiz-tt8lv 9 месяцев назад

I already picked my everyday dive watch and it is the blue dialed Orient Kamasu. It is a gorgeous watch and the specs are incredible for the price. It’s got the looks and the feel of many of all the other more expensive watches in the video

@bobmclennan1727 Год назад

In the "Occasionally in the Water" category, I highly recommend just about any of Seiko's "Save the Ocean" models. They're all Diver's certified, and they offer some additional style in their dials and overall design that you don't often see on ISO rated watches.

@chadallenchan Год назад

I got a seiko quartz chrono of the "save the ocean" its a beater watch for sure! 4years of wear and it still performs amazingly.

@LiquidIEx Год назад

I am surprised that the Citizen Promaster is missing. Its THE dive watch for decades. Many Seiko PADI watches are pretty big.

I recently developed an interest in wrist watches, and have been watching your videos for the last two weeks. I am very much enjoying the well organized format and details you provide for us! very helpful for a newb like me :) anyways I wanted to comment the watches in your videos looks exceptionally nice but I think it would be also great to increase scenes in more natural settings then a studio? i feel like lots of viewers would want to see them in action before making purchase decision :)

@TheGrenadier97 Год назад

I vote for the Orient Kamasu in generations I and II as the absolute king of cost-effectiveness in mechanical divers, followed by the Casio Duro in the quartz section. The Kamasu in particular offers great specifications and aesthetics compared to what Seiko has around $200.

@soraisfinallyhere1305 Год назад

Yes! Kamasus ftw gen 1 and 2 are both great (just your style preference) I personally have the green gen 2 but I also want the gen 1 in red

Currently have one on wrist; the best all round from these options is the Casio MDV-106. Yes it’s quartz, yes you need to swap out the strap immediately, yes the date is difficult to see BUT I find myself wearing this probably more than anything else in my collection. Brilliant beater, travel and daily wear watch that looks far better than the price would suggest

@witchdoctaa Год назад

I love your videos. What’s on your wrist on this exact video? Looks like a GS. Is it?

@LS6dad 9 месяцев назад

another vote for the Kamasu. While I don't dive or swim, I am real rough on my watches, they get dunked in water every other day, the bezel gets used to time things and it looks professional enough manning the desk. Auto, sapphire and screwdown crown. I have it in red, and in the sunlight the red with the bronze markers look unbelievable to me.

@enriquegarcia5315 Год назад

Although marketed as a GMT I would am considering the breitling chronomat GMT 40mm as my next (and first) dive watch. To me it’s a great weekend warrior, do it all watch. Love the gmt function for travel and the water resistance for those that love the water. Yes the movement gives you pause but the trade off is a watch with a slim profile that looks good anywhere.

Logged my 80th dive with the pelagos. It is memorable to me as we (the pelagos and I) encountered a mola fish during the dive. I think it should be on this list as I think it is THE BEST watch you can take underwater with. You have that piece of mind that the watch won’t break, with the helium escape valve etc. The pelagos is made for diving. I appreciate your video Teddy, great job as usual. but I think the pelagos should make this list. 🐋🐋

@b888cky Год назад

Hello Teddy. Another great video that is a real joy to watch. I'm forming a small collection of watches for myself and I've divided them in few categories. Bare in mind that I'm on a very tight budget. :) So, here goes : 1. Digital : Casio G Shock DW5600WS-1 2. Diver : Seiko 5 Sports SRPD53K1 or Orient Mako 2 FAA02009D9 (Leaning towards Seiko) 3. Dress : Orient Bambino IV FAC08002F0 4. Conversion Starter : Bulova 98B390 Parking Meter (I love the look of that watch) 5. Daily Beater : Timex Expedition (Already have that one and it is a great as a beater) 6. Chronograph : Don't know. 7. Vintage : Not sure yet, but I like rally stile watches. :) Of course, if anyone wants to adds something to the list, or wants to change something, you are more than welcome. :)

@svaz2006 Год назад

Thanks for including the Orient Kamasu. I think it was the only one w/ day-date, which is high on my priority list as a day-to-day watch function. D-D may not be important under water, but as I live in a desert, dive credentials aren't really that big a deal to me. While it may spend 90% of it's life bone dry, I do the occasional beach swim or river rafting trip and I don't want to cap the experience with a ruined watch.

@jamesstrong836 Год назад

Recently purchased the Seiko SPB143. First one that arrived was a dud as the hands stopped when they stacked at around 6:30. However, replacement is absolutely great. These seem to be more readily discounted in the UK currently and I picked mine up for £770 (30% off RRP). I think if you can find a deal to bring it below £1k it is more of a no-brainer. At RRP it’s too close to Oris & other great options. Beautiful watch and really versatile with straps. Have a grey nato which is great at the weekend and black sailcloth/tropic are smart & comfortable to wear to work. Want to experiment with some coloured straps next. Thanks for the great content Teddy!
