The world of watches is an individual journey weighted in subjectivity. However, there are certainly some watches and brands that produce them that collectively people love to hate.
I know this will be a video highly debated. So please leave comments down below if you disagree.

One thing I know is that NOBODY hates Seiko and Casio.

@Unborn8436 4 года назад

A lot hate Seiko especially those who went straight to Swiss

@lavasurfer22 4 года назад

I think I am about to receive some hate but I can't stand Seiko or Casio. I use to like Casio before the world of watches opened up to me. They do keep good time and Casio is very durable but despite them being well made, they look and often feel cheap and ugly (my opinion). My first bought watch was a Casio. I loved it at the time until I realized how very easily the watch got scratched. I expected much more for a $100 watch. I have a $60 Invicta that is more than twice the watch my Casio was. I'm not a big Invicta fan but if you know how to buy them, they are excellent quality for the price.

I have thought about making a video, specifically for GMT's about this very subject because I have not seen one video that accurately describes this. I work in an aircrew field and from what I have seen the Tudor GMT is best suited for this because the bezel moves in half hour increments. Where this really comes into play is if you have friends in the military, specifically Afghanistan. Since they are in between time zones they do a half hour difference, 4 1/2 hours plus UTC time. Set the GMT hand to UTC and the hour to local time, use the bezel to calculate where you are going or track another time zone, so you can figure out what to set the local time to or plan out what time you expect to land for flight planning.

@detcord1 5 лет назад

Very good idea.There is a mystique to pilot's watches and some people believe that some of the qualities of the target customer will be transferred to them, and I suppose that also applies to divers and racing watches too. However, the adverts for Breitling, Bell and Ross, Sinn etc are all very emotive, but I remember seeing a Bell and Ross advert with a fighter pilot, a diver, and am EOD operator in Watches of Switzerland and laughing. The chap in the store asked what was so funny, and told him that firstly Ive been an EOD operator for over ten years and the only watch issued was the standard CWC G10 watch. Secondly, you cant read a watch in a bomb suit.

In Movado’s defense, the museum dial is what brought them into the mass market. So why not run with a design that is continuously profitable? Vintage Movado is incredible, but they are known for the Museum. Their clientele appreciates the jewelry aspect of watches, which is why they’ve established a fashion brand division like Fossil. Can’t blame them for going where the money is.

I recently decided to start getting into watch collecting. Back when I was around 13 years old, I would save up every penny and "collect" watches from generic/fashion brands, such as Fossil, Guess, Casio etc. One watch I bought on a family vacation abroad was a Movado Museum. Few years ago it stopped working. I know a lot of watch enthusiasts hate it, but today after 10 years, I got it out of the closet and got it repaired. It is not so much a collectors watch, but my soul still lights up when I look at it today and I would definitely still proudly wear it as a dress watch. I guess, because it brings me back to that childhood... who knows. All in all, thanks for this video Teddy. You have definitely got me excited about watches and can't wait to start adding to my collection. Keep up the good work!

Instead of MSRP hike the brands value, they should focus on being a cost effective brand and realistically price the watches with actual supply/demand on line numbers. They are not fooling the masses.... Many videos share these same sentiments as are spoken of here and elsewhere by this video and comments section.

My second favorite is a racing inspired Mechaquartz (quartz movement, automatic chronograph) which is a stunnerwith a bull-nose case. I think they can be a good gateway to the watch world (unlike a lot of the fashion watches I bought in my youth, but I never payed more than $20 for those watches and still got 5+ years out of them).

Movado is slightly different. Their Museum watch design is the icon itself. It was never ever about the movement or horology in a traditional sense. It was a true testament of minimalism and industrial design which was philosophically different than traditional Swiss watchmaking ideas. The Museum watch made a significant contribution to design in horology when it was introduced back in 1947. Anyone that doesn't recognize this doesn't know watches.

This was a fun and interesting video. I've never really thought about 'hating' a watch brand. I've disliked individual watches, but never a brand. I actually bought an Invicta Pro Diver in the 1990s - and still have it - with an ETA 2824 movement. Watch still runs and keeps time well. I also recently bought a Glycine off the Invicta site due to the 20% discount. I agree that the current Invictas are not to my taste - but I have several wannabe rapper types (50+ year old wannabes) that simply love them. It's always been an aspect of watches that I love - you find something to suit YOUR style. AP watches are highly respected, but are clearly not my style. Thanks for sharing this seemingly controversial topic.

I love my Swatches, i have one i bought for AUD$28 in Sydney in 1985 and it’s still going in 2019. It tells the time the same as any expensive watch. I have a dearer watch too, but i can have some fun with a Swatch.

These brands remind me of when a friend imported like 5000 Chinese watches to sell here in Mexico. He was selling them for the equivalent of $30 and he was making a 1000% profit on them. They also looked very similar to these internet watches, but with rubber straps instead of leather.

@barrypanaretou9124 2 года назад

I would consider having quite a big watch collection and I hate to say it but I love my Invicta Pro. I won it on eBay brand new for £60 and the time keeping on it is better than some of my expensive watches. Fantastic value for money I love it ❤️

@franktoartist3012 5 лет назад

I think you were spot on with DW and MVMT. They are constantly marketing themselves on FB. Being from a Chinese hertage background and a Common Wealth citizen, I've always been skeptical of anything made in China for quality purposes. With Movado, their vintage watches are beautiful and usually retail here in the UK between £700- £1800 if serviced and have a warranty. I think it is ashame that Movado is almost copying DW and MVMT these days. I actually do have an Invicta watch among my collection. It's the S1 Diablo Gun metal rally watch. It was given to me by my mother this year for my birthday. TBH, it was probably this Invicta watch that got me into researching horology and the history of various brands. It also made me more aware of the techicality of claiming "Swiss- Made" and marketing of Invicta. The Invicta watch serves me of a beater watch than anything else and is fun to wear on occassions e.g driving. I suppose in a way, I got into watches the same you did as you also got sucked in by these fashion brands. To properly to get into horology, I think you need to go through a 'trail of fire' in buying these types of watches so that it encourage you to research the topic. Btw Teddy, have you read the book "A Man and His Watch" by Matt Hrwnek?

I purchased two of these brands in the past before I started watching reviews on RU-vid. Two Invicta automatics and a Movado 800 series. The Invicta watches did not hold up at all. The Movado has been my most complimented watch and is still going to this day. I don’t even get that many compliments on my Omega Seamaster. I think Movado is overpriced after doing research and realizing it has a cheap quartz movement. Although I bough mine on close out at 75% off retail price and at that price it was a good watch.

@mickpalmer951 2 года назад

Wow! Thank you for your knowledge and insights. I just found an Movado Museum that was gifted to me by a friend in 1998. It’s a beautiful watch. I sent it to a company that specializes in watch restorations and repairs. I believe all it should need is a battery, tune-up and polish. I was going to invest in purchasing additional Movado watches till I seen your video. Now I’ll continue watching your videos and find other beautiful watches of value, thanks to you. Thank You So Much. Mick

I'm in my early 30s and I have an Omega Speedy and Grand Seiko Snowflake. I also have a Invicta 12878 Limited Edition Subaqua #61 of 500. It's "Swiss Made" with an ETA A07.171 Valgranges movement, one of the first watches I found with that movement when the Valgranges was released, five years ago when ETA still sold their movements to those outside of the Swatch Group. The Valgranges line didn't really take off until A08 series, when Swatch Group brands like Longines moved many of their models over to the Valgranges movements, but the A07 I feel was a milestone in ETA's history. It's big, heavy, gaudy, but I like it.

@Scrrumy 2 года назад

I have a pro diver, it really kick started my interest into watches. I wanted a great looking automatic dive watch that wouldn’t break the bank. Now because of its low price and high availability I wear it all the time without worrying about bumping or scratching it or God forbid losing it. My interest in watches has expanded since then and I definitely have my eyes set on some better/ more expensive watches, but I can’t deny the value for money in the pro diver. Like you said, Seiko NH35 movement, sapphire crystal, robust water resistance etc. That being said, the pro diver is probably the only Invicta watch I’d ever buy/ have bought.

@dave-ld8mo Год назад

What I really like about Invicta is that they offer there pro diver model in different sizes. You can get it with a 38, 40, 43, 45 or even 47mm dial. Also, they come in unique colours. I ordered both the Invicta Pro Diver in 40mm and the Orient Kamasu in 42mm. While the Kamasu had sapphire glas and looked more premium, the 42 mm dial just didn't look as good on my 16.5 inch wrist. I ended up keeping the Invicta and sent back the Kamasu. However, I would recommend to buy one with a unique color. Most brands offer divers with blue, green, black or pepsi dials. Anything different is usually rare to find more expensive at the 1000+ privepoint. I ended up getting a Tudor Pelagos in blue when I bought my first apartment. However, because my wardrobe consists mainly of earth tones, my Invicta Pro Diver with its unique brown dial still gets more wear time.

@IronheadOfScroteus 4 года назад

I went through a collecting binge about 8 years ago during a time when I had more money than sense and was addicted to Ebay. I found a lot of great deals on new and lightly used watches and ended up with a lot of Invictas (around 60). There were a few I didn't like once I got them because they were uncomfortable or some minor thing. The majority I still like and wear occasionally. I love the eye-catching looks of them and they get attention. Only ever had trouble with two; a hand fell off each one but a local jeweler was able to fix them. Now I love my Seikos more and even though I have far fewer of those, I love the craftsmanship. I probably wouldn't buy another Invicta because I believe the quality has been dropping every year, judging from other people's experiences gleaned from watch forums and videos like this one. But I'll hang onto the ones I have for awhile.

I agree with your points. However the watch purchasing market is dominated by those who know only how to tell time and shop for what they like and what meets their price point. Next are the group that purchase a brand for the recognition of their peer group, once again these buyers only know how to impress and most know how to tell the time. Down at the bottom, less than 1 % are the WIS group, the Watch Idiot Savants, who know what 6Hz versus 8Hz means, know what a dual fold deployant is, know what the differences of 316L versus 904 stainless are, can identify the brand of watch that their doctor wears down to the model number. This group - includes me - we mock the sheep, we tend to be polarized in our devotion to certain brands, and will spend far more than we should to tell time, some live without certain norms to allow them to wear a $10k timepiece and fret about its potential to attract thieves while riding public transit. Our tribe will continue, the internet is the glue holding us together, sealing us from the pedestrian masses as well as a Trip Lock crown.

I own 3 Invicta pro divers, all purchased on amazon. Two were purchased on a Black Friday sale so they were cheaper than cheap (around $105 for both). I agree completely with Teddy's comments regarding the brand's quasi-deceptive "MSRP" marketing practices. One place where I've seen it twice has been on cruise ships,, where they parade these things out with a big discount off MSRP, so everyone who hasn't done their homework or doesn't know better thinks they're getting a great bargain (like anything purchased on a cruise ship is going to be a bargain). Saw a guy purchase a gold with blue dial pro diver for about $100 more than what I paid for the same watch through amazon on Black Friday.

@thomasaitken9790 5 лет назад

I truly don’t mind winding it more often or adjusting the time now and then so I’m not sure I’m a good candidate for luxury mechanical watches lol
