Today I share my favourite watches that offer the best value for money starting from $50 to around $200. This is the most requested price range that many of the fashion watches like Daniel Wellington, the Fifth, Michael Kors, Armani etc are priced at. So in this video I share 10+ options that come from brands with real watch making heritage, horological innovation and even a few iconic classics in there too.

Anas Hakim - The affordability means you can get more of them but I suppose after you've experienced something of higher quality, you'd rather have a few nice pieces then a big collection of the budgets.

You, young man, have given me more than a little joy the past few years. I exited mid 50's and officially entered into late 50's this year. I have always worn a watch but never had an appreciation for what was on my wrist. You changed that for me. After watching this segment I realized what an influence you've had on my modest watch collection; I have the Seiko aviator, the Pepsi diver, the 5, the Bambino, the DW-5600 G-Shock, the Hamilton Khaki plus a Hamilton Myron and a Timex 100. I have always been a vinyl record collector, but you have shown me a new avenue that draws my attention...cheers.

Oris made some very cool manual wind pieces in the 70’s 70-79. Some of the dial/hand colors are awful for my tastes but some are fantastic.

That Victorinox Infantry is really a hidden gem. I bought the automatic version with eta 2824 movement for about 350$. It really gives you the feel of a well made swiss piece. Accuracy is +3 sec/day which is way better than my seikos. I would say that it considerably reduced my itch for wanting a rolex right now, at the same time increased my respect for swiss manufacturing.

This is not relevant to this specific video but I started to relize that why I appreciate smaller watches more than bigger ones. I know that I think they look better but when they are smaller it feels like they are much harder to make and the details looks so amazing when it's on a smaller scale. By just looking at the details holding it with my hand fascinates me and makes me happy. I don't know if someone understood that haha. Great video as always! :)

I know these two are both very different watches but I'm fascinated by both and want one that would go with every occasion. Given the fact that I'm a recent college graduate I need something that I could wear at work as well as casual outings, which one would you recommend? Is the SKX809 treating you well?

Don't know if you meant to adress creeps inc or me... If you adressed me, I'm sorry for being late, I just read your comment. The SKX809 are both great watches (like almost every Seiko). And they actually aren't too different (from a specs standpoint). Both have a 7s26 movement and hardlex crystal. So it's mostly the size, the water resistance and of course the design that distinguishes them. Since your comment is already 2 weaks old, I suspect you have already decide which one to buy...?
@pratikkarmiani9387
@pratikkarmiani9387 7 лет назад
LB33 yes I reckon I meant to address 'creeps inc' but replied to your comment by mistake. I'm still thankful for your reply though and thanks for the input as well. You are right, I have made up my mind to buy the SNK809 first. Might get the SKX007 later someday. Since this will be my first automatic watch, the fact that It has a exhibition/ display case back is a big plus for me. I'm pretty excited to get my hands on it :)

I wear it every day, as a scientific glassblower working with extreme heat and other hazards it withstands everything I throw at it and I use almost every one of its features regularly. I love mechanical watches, both the engineering behind them and their aesthetics, but my g-shock gives me something that I can be proud to wear just about anywhere until I can afford to start a real collection. For something like $45 that's one hell of a watch imo.

Just before Christmas I picked up a Citizen Eco Drive 5551-06L on Amazon. The watch lists regularly (on Amazon) for $450 but they had a "lightning deal" on it for only $125 ... I couldn't resist at that price and I LOVE the watch. The 06L is the leather strap version and I hate leather straps for watches that I wear a lot, they stretch, they smell from sweat and skin oils after a while and eventually they just rot to bits if you wear them all the time. Which puts a nice watch in jeopardy of loss or damage. So I put an aftermarket metal bracelet on it. At the price I paid for the watch I don't mind the cost of the bracelet. I don't mind leather bands on watches I don't wear a lot, like dress watches. I have a gold case/gold face Seiko 7T32-7C60 that came with a nice gold bracelet but I put a black alligator leather band with a gold butterfly deployant clasp on it and it looks great for "dress up" with slacks and a sports jacket.

I could easily get carried away with this watch stuff. I can’t let it be like when I decided I needed a night vision monocular. This video is great though! It’s nice to see that there are great watches out there for not a lot of money. I’ve had a Luminox 3000 for 14 years and it’s still going strong. Next paycheck I’m going to pick up a Seiko 5 for my first automatic. I also think the Marathon General Purpose Mechanical tritium looks cool also. I’m figuring the Luminox for kayak fishing, Seiko 5 for general wear and maybe the Marathon for camping. Fun stuff!

These are great videos TGV. I am only new to watches and love your channel, because of it in the last 2 weeks I have made 3 purchases, Seiko SNK809, a Casio F-91W and a Orient Bambino Gen 2 V2. Waiting for the Bambino to arrive today and am so excited, the other two are great. I am going to get a diver to round of the collection.

My first watch is TomTom sports. I started wearing watch to motivate me for getting fit. One of relative gifted me a Fossil Chronograph watch and I absolutely never use the stop watch on that. Now I bought Huawei watch GT, as the fitness band I am using along with Fossil broke. From practicality point none of the automatic watches makes sense. I can justify buying them like a jewellery. I started going this rabbit hole after learning about Seiko. Thanks for recommendations. Now I will be hunting for a deal on that beautiful Hamilton field watch.

The F-91W Casio watch is the best affordable watch it's only £10.00 or 10 US dollars 💵 super durable very easy to look at daily alarm stopwatch up to 59 minutes and 59 seconds super clear LCD screen 7 year battery life super comfortable. Comes with a one-year warranty as well and they are also very Common

I own a H3 ETA military, wear it today. I bought it 14 years ago, when i liked the atomic technology of tritium. It lights up in dark, so it works good. It was not expensive, around €90, that is in dollars around $ 97. Because it is old, sometimes i reset the watch back on time. Soon it goes on retirement, and the follow up watch will be my Tissot gentleman sports with swissmatic 19 jewels caliber. i can’t wait till i get it on my wrist ! ⏱🇨🇭

I have one. given to me as a gift some years ago. It's styled to look just like their Swiss rail clocks. I reckon it's a design classic. The leather strap is one of the best I've ever worn. Very comfortable and very accurate. If anything ever happened to it I would buy the exact same one as a replacement. Thumbs up from me.

I personally find Seiko of better quality than citizen. I had two eco drive with battery problem and a automatic citizen that never could keep time after multiple trip to the manufacturer. Those Hamilton are just perfect and I also have a khaki king that I wear the most of all my watch. It's the watch people like the most and ask me all the time about. Hamilton is now my favourite watch brand. I like almost every model they make while normally I only like one or two model from most brands. Btw the Hamilton khaki you recommend is not in your video description.

The Urban Gentry Indeed! I totally agree with the top ten. Realized the watches on your list in this range are the ones I own as well. Speaks to their value for money and horological pedigree in the said price range. And how much I watch the channel! I would like to mention a very functional travel watch from Casio. The AE1200Wh. The octopussy's Bond Seiko aesthetic with a ton of features! Can't beat that for under 30 bucks IMO! Cheers!
@speycah
@speycah 7 лет назад
I bought one last week, now I can't take it off my wrist while my Flightmaster is sitting in the drawer - I think it's the perfect beginner's watch. Buy an AE1200, a NATO strap of your choice and a spring bar tool and you'll have fun for days. All for $50, an absolute steal.

After time the strap is fallin into pieces exactly in the texture of leather(if you know what i mean), so I have to get new one and going to lose that nice Rotor shaped bruckle. :(
