Teddy has become the “Bob Ross” of the RU-vid watch community. He shares his knowledge and passion in a soothing way and is just a happy space for any kind of watch enthusiast. Thanks for all these videos, Teddy!
I love it, I just can't get pass the seconds hand, why wouldn't the go for the Seiko Alpinst-like and keep it cathedral? Seems off to me, but I love everything about it!! Looks gorgeous!
@@GerardoVillarreal1101 the seconds hand is very cool in the 40mm version. It has "eureka" engraved in morse code. Probably on of the coolest easter eggs found in a watch
Yeah, that's a pretty neat detail. I mean, the one in the movie didn't have it, so the 38mm version is more accurate un that sense. ANnyway, I'm getting one eventualy, is just so mesmerizing to look at! @@dangarvire
As a person who's never spent more than $2,000 on a single timepiece, I love seeing this kind of video. It's always nice to see beautiful pieces like these for the price range I buy in
Same. I sometimes might find it interesting to see more expensive options but I'll likely never spend much more than $2k on a watch so all the Rolexes, APs, Pateks and Zeniths, don't even hold my interest very much.
I would be the same way. My uncle was a watch dealer and it pulled me in deep when I was young. Most people are just like you when it comes to watches. Less than 1% of the population buys watches that are multiple thousands of dollars. Lol. You are better off staying at 2000 dollars and less. Tons of great watches at that price point.
I work in an automotive manufacturer and I have worn my "Ice Blue" PRX everyday for the past 7 months and couldn't be happier. It's always comfortable and it with stands the gauntlet I put it through, it's definitely scratched up and that makes me love it more. I bought it to wear everyday, and I'm going to continue doing that!
G-Shock is a watch I wore when in the Army, I think I over extended the capabilities, it was definitively tested to the max. Highly recommended for extreme conditions.
I got the Ice Blue Presage back in the day when the cocktails came out (not least because of Teddy) and I am still a happy buyer: it takes kindly to all strap changes (which it needs) and it gets a lot of wrist-time despite the harsh competition...
I have the G-Shock you featured and it's indestructible -- and a favorite among US Army and USMC troops -- because it's indestructible and smaller than most other G-Shocks, fitting under uniform sleeves easier -- plus it is charged by light and syncs with radio time signals. It's my "beater" watch. The Sternglas has a "Bauhaus" vibe to it.
Great video! As a medical student, I’d LOVE to see something like this for different types of doctors. With such different working conditions (and stereotypes) associated with every specialty, I could see a different watch representing an ER doc, surgeon, hospitalist, cardiologist, pediatrician, or family practitioner. And that’s just the beginning - there are tons of different internal medicine and surgical subspecialties that all have different looking days and their own set of stereotypes. If this works, I could see engineers or lawyers getting a similar level of enjoyment too! Feel free to reach out for more & keep up the awesome work!
I agree with the above comment, though pretty sure it's almost entirely as a status symbol - "I'm an attending, I made it, I'm getting a Rolex". I have too many watches, but my work watches (prehospital medicine, critical care, flight, occasionally ICU or ER, austere, remote), are usually either a G-Shock or a Tudor Black Bay 58; I want something super tough, everything-proof enough that I can hit it with a faucet, hot water, and/or PDI wipes to clear whatever fluids or substances off. I also need something visible in the dark (backlit G-Shock, great lume on the Tudor), and a way to time intervals (timer on the former, dive bezel on the latter). If you wear mechanical and want a genuinely useful tool, I'd propose something VERY environment/fluid proof, and a way to time things (diver or chrono). All that said, if you entirely work in a clinic or office, and haven't seen blood since med school....dress watch, all day. Something elegant, in yellow or rose gold, on a leather strap.
@@LazerAxelman I largely agree for hospital work. An explorer 1 works well there too. I tend towards dressier watches in private practice with a suit but my major requirement is a 3 hander style so I can count seconds easily.
@@tyarnold4088I have been in the field for nearly 18 years and had the privilege of working with over 30 docs during my tenure thanks to an amazing fellowship program I was part of and only one wore a Rolex. Several had Omegas, etc. I have had also been to many case study groups and dinners and I hardly saw any docs wearing a Rolex. Yep, I looked at the wrist constantly and was pleasantly surprised to find way more affordable options on their wrists.
Seiko Presage is the best option by the money you pay... Green dial is my favorite... Elegance and style. Thanks for the video...and continue in the excellent way.
I have one of those 1938 Tissots. In four years and dozens of flips it’s one of the very best watches I’ve found, and looks vintage military on a nato too, so is proving more everyday versatile than I expected!
I feel that the seiko srpe53 aka the dresskx deserves to be in the business casual category. An easy swap with of straps really do make the watch somewhat 'dressy'
I can't get enough of my Jetstar. Put it on, no setting, smooth sweep, super comfortable and reserved in sizing. Even the bracelet isn't half bad. I don't know why Bulova doesn't use this movement everywhere in their mid-range watches.
Same here, Got the red one shown as is good for formal attire and got the gold one on the brown leather strap as it is perfect for casual wear with it's 70s retro vibes. Also got the Sea King 300M as it also has the same precisionist movement and would be perfect for the first category.
Just love you and your videos so much, Teddy! One of fav things to do in my mornings is to savour a hot cup of coffee and enjoy one of your lovely videos . Just sets the day right for me
I have the SSK in orange and its beautiful, the orange glows so nice in sun and the bezel is like half silver when under light.. Honestly more versatile than you'd think just works more with solid colours and outfits without patterns.
The SNE585 is an outstanding every day watch. Solar quartz accuracy and reliability, wonderfully wearable case, great looks… you can’t go wrong with that watch. I sold mine only because I intend to pick up the black version instead. I’m a little bit neurotic about matching 😅
Don't forget the Tandorio Titanium watches with the NH-35 movement. They can be had for around 80-100 dollars. Water resistant to 600 ft., screw down crown and back, sapphire crystal, etc. They are excellent watches for the work environment or just every day wear. I have two of them and LOVE them..!!!
This was an amazing video. Please do more of these in the future! I work from home and I have been having a hard time picking a everyday watch that could work for me while working remote. I also sometimes need to go into the office every now and then and you covered that as well!
Might have to pick up that marathon just for the fact that I live in San Antonio where Kelly AFB is located. Teddy, your knowledge of everything watches never ceases to amaze ! Great video, keep up the awesome work, my friend.
I work from home and what I find good and necessary is a GMT and in terms of colors, what I enjoy is a watch that matches my pajamas and sometimes I need to join a zoom call and even put on a shirt, so I prefer something with dark or muted colors.
That Lorier Hydra looks pretty cool. Not a hipster by a long shot, but interesting design. And yes GMT/World time is a must for Work From Home. Fwiw I picked up a G-shock GW-7900 a couple years ago, primarily for GMT (+solar +atomic +moon +tides) and surprised how it doesn't wear as large as you'd think. Wears very comfortably although the strap does pinch a little sometimes.
What size is your wrist? If you have a larger wrist I would recommend either (1) Hamilton Khaki Field 42mm titanium blue dial with either brown leather strap or titanium bracelet or (2) Tissot Gentleman green or blue dial. These are great watch for
I would love to see a video outlining some of the best watches with cathedral hands like the murph has. I have a WWII era Hamilton with cathedral hands that I adore but would love to see what some of the other best watches with cathedral hands are.
In the office, low key is far better. I enjoy the G Shock or an understated diver on leather. The timing bezel is useful, and a metal bracelet will scratch on a keyboard.
Low key is important! I like the suggestion of a diver on leather. I wear a diver on a Marine Nationale strap. Maybe I should switch it up and get a leather strap
My experience: got a SARY179 cocktail time and was disappointed. The dial was cool but the thickness was still large even with the 38mm diameter. It was also running close to a minute slow even after wearing a few days
Teddy, I've been a subscriber since the earliest days of your channel, and on your recommendation, I got the Orient Bambino as my first automatic watch several years ago. I happen to be wearing it as I watch this video. The movement is reliable (it's outlasted my Seiko Alpinist) and the domed crystal makes it look ritzier than its price would suggest - super great value, as you've stated many times. Besides the Orient, my picks from your sub-$1000 list would be: Hamilton Khaki "Murph", especially now in the smaller 38mm; Tissot Gentleman; and Tissot Heritage 1938. Great stuff, always appreciate your videos.
Because of your channel, I purchased the Seiko GMT SSK017 from your website and it is def. my fav watch. So comfy on the wrist but the harvest gold dial matches my animated personality. My fav pickleball match play watch. I always wanted to be cool enough to work in a record store. hahahaha
An office watch should have a date on it so when you signing off documents which need to be dated you can find out the date super quickly with flick of the wrist, instead of anew watch why not suggest the Seiko Sarb 033 or 035?
A Damasko DS30 is the perfect work watch. Go anywhere, do anything. Dress it up or dress it down. Indestructible German submarine steel case, near impossible to scratch, 200 m water resistance, screw down crown with patented crown seal system. ETA2824 Top grade movement super legible sector dial with Superluminova applied on all markings and hands. 39mm case diameter, 9.8mm case thickness. It can be purchased for $986. Mine runs -1/+1 sec. per day. It is a winner above all!
Worn my seiko solar diver as my daily for a year now, on elastic, silicon, different grades of leather, and now on a bracelet with solid end links from Mark Watch dosn't get old, just love it more with time. It does cause my mechanical watches to collect some dust, but its not too bad, means I keep the mechanical watches for the situation where they get no shocks, magnetising other harm, effecting how they run, and then I enjoy them more when I do wesr them. So my solar diver keeping them healthy, while being my perfect watch!
Great video. The Casio Oceanus is a great line that doesn't get alot of love on the channel but the S100 would be a great candidate for the business casual category
Nice to see the Marathon steel navigator make the list. I just bought one and replaced the nylon strap with black leather. It can go nicely as a dressy watch
I LOVE the shade of yellow chosen for the new colorway on the seiko gmt. I just do not think I can really pull it off and I already have the blue and black one so it’s hard to justify buying another just because it’s my favorite color
I bought my watches from watching your informative videos. One suggestion though, can you also tell us your jackets/overshirts? That’s a great one in black & yellow. Your other waxed jacket also are nice. Gotta style these watches with something good as well.
I wore my Oris Aquis everyday for about 5 years awesome watch. Added a few more but love my Casio DW5600-1 I might add the Doxa as I have a Seiko 5 limited edition. I do need a GMT might get Seiko GMT as well.
I have a Presage as a dress watch - it’s a stunner. I want to love the Murph but I like my work watches to have at least a date complication. My current work casual is a Citizen Promaster. Absolutely love it and so legible.
This is a great video, and something I’ve been looking for an answer to. I work primarily in my woodshop, and my speedy is a little out of place and at risk there. Most days I wear a Casio digital, but I meet clients throughout the week and I want something rugged, but still nice to look at. I’ve been eyeing some of the Hamilton khakis, but find that their 38mm is a little small for my wrists. Would love to see a longer video on watches for more field work, something for work that’s not in the office. Love the content!
Hey Teddy! I am a big fan of your channel and your work. It is just a request that can you make a list of watches suited for doctors? Like we have to be around MRI machines and other than Rolex Milgaus I don't know any watch that can survive strong magnetic fields. It is just a humble request.
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
You see Teddy... This is why you're such a classy guy.... "If you see this video several years from now, don't get mad at me if the prices have changed....". I would have seriously clever and insulting responses to anyone who got upset with something like that... Fantastic video. I agreed with most of your choices. Though maybe my idea of business casual is a bit more formal because I want that beautiful Seiko Presage with a leather strap. I tried it on a few weeks ago and absolutely loved it. Though I also see it in casual environments too. It would go with just about anything. Maybe before the end of the year. When I saw the Sternglas I immediately thought of Junglas... And for roughly half the price too. I seriously love the style of Junglas but if I was someone who couldn't or didn't want to spend the money, this looks like an awesome alternative. I think it's a serious, modern dress watch. I see this with a black suit/tie and white shirt. Very New York'er. Well done Teddy and Team! Happy Holidays!
Like to thank you,Teddy,for putting in the hours and coming up with some great reviews and advice.Nice to see you put forward some daily runners.Liked the Lorier and the Unimatic and still feel that Longines and Oris are excellent timepieces and affordable.Not quite under the $1,000 range but great value still and recognised as beginning of Luxxury along with Tudor and Omega.Thank you again for putting in the time for us all.
My one and done would be a Murph GMT !! I’ve been looking for a non diver style GMT as I work with people in a different time zone. Tag’s Twin-Time has the look, breaks the 1k mark. Help me make it happen
Great video Teddy. I was wondering, with the holidays quickly approaching do you have an updated video for recommendations for the women in our lives? I know a lot about men’s watches but very little about women’s 😅
I bought the green Seiko SNE prospex 38.5mm and I immediately swapped the OEM bracelet for the Uncle Seiko Oyster. Its the perfect grab and go diver for work and travel.
Teddy, My thanks to you for introducing me to RGM! I purchased the baseball watch. In dealing with Roland, I was able to customize the baseball watch to my liking. I really enjoy you videos and watch insights. Next time I am in Cleveland perhaps you will join me at a baseball game. Cheers, Steve Glennan
I’m a robotic field service tech, I fly around the world and install/maintain robotic equipment. I wear my Seiko MarineMaster and my Turtle to some pretty wild environments and work long hours with them.
Excellent idea and excellent video. However, when I work from home, I have three large monitors, a smartphone, and a Google Hub sitting in front of me most of the day, so I rarely even bother with a watch. I'd bet I'm not the only one. And why no Tissot Le Locle or PRX both sporting the Powermatic 80 movement? I have both and adore them for what they are, and they both come in at well under $1k. Lots of other great choices though in this video.
