@watch-box 2 года назад

The only watch here I wouldnt pay for, is the one I once wanted the most. The Moonswatch. How a watch can go from the hottest on the plannet, to a hot mess in the same year is an achievement in marketing over substance like none other I can think of (not just in watches) Even the Invicta is a better watch (Invicta better than Omega - who knew!)

I agree with this 100 percent. My jaw dropped when I saw the release. Theeeennnnnn I started watching the reviews. 🧐. They absolutely shredded this child's toy of a watch that Swatch had the gall to charge $250 for. I'm glad I always wait for the hype to die down before handing over my monies.

@jizzboxx9984 2 года назад

That's the whole marketing point, wanting is more exciting than owning

@thomasmathes5019 2 года назад

The CEO of Swatch said in a recent Fratello interview that the Moonswatch will only be sold in Swatch stores (and a limited number at that). His reasoning was the most baffling thing I've read in years, you have to read the review to really appreciate it. The closest Swatch store near me is 6 hrs. drive. No thanks. Just like a Rolex, I have no chance or buying one either nor do even care to buy either product, I don't beg anyone to take my cash. While the marketing idea was brilliant the execution is a complete failure. A cheaply made product that's limited in availability is just plain stupid. This is one time where the Chinese knockoffs are probably of greater quality (and are ridiculously easy to find) than the real thing.

Good lineup. I think that the Tissot is the winner if there's one among these five. Great do-it-all choice with elegant style, good origin and some history. The Casio of course is a great beater-casual take as it's always is. The Invicta is a case of well-made, interesting and uncontroversial homage, the kind that should be far more common instead of floodings of modern-Submariner-copy-and-paste. The Omega-Swatch collaboration was a cool and bold change of tune, and the Timex GMT Quartz at least is surely a nice take.

2 for 5 Joined the Casioak squad with a G-Shock GMAS2100. Had the choice of either at point of purchase, and the 'unisex' one wears better (its a 42mm, kinda large for a midsized model) for me. Also the athleisure aesthetics of the reduced don't provide fodder for me to roll my eyes like the tacticool looks for the GA2100 options in stock at the time. Tried a Timex Q for a week then sent it back. It wore too flat, needed some contour. Always felt like it was hovering near the wrist. Didn't mind the NOS quality, but the price I got it at was too high to cope with the 70s shortcomings. Subsequently picked up the Q Falcon Eye from Timex in a sale (31% off for Halloween... I'll take it) and enjoy every moment on the wrist. Wore it in rotation for a few seasons, but have retired it since because I wore it roughly. Still interested in the range because the quality appears to be improving.

Cracked and paid $40 over MSRP (only one I could find) for the black and guilt. I put it on a wildly overpriced (but beautifully made) Erika's original NDC style Bond strap and I regret nothing. Whenever I see it on my wrist I smile. Sometimes I out and out chuckle. Out loud. You just can't ask more of a watch, I don't care how much you paid for it. 3. Missed me. Still, glad for Timex. 4. Missed me. I'm 80's not 70's, you can keep your integrated bracelets. 5. Love the idea, but as we all now know the execution is not there. Still, after the hype dies down and if the price comes down AND they make one with 100m water resistance ...

That plastic back of the MoonSwatch is honestly something the manufacturer of a freaking Casio homage wouldn't dare to do.

You've had a swath of non-review videos lately Jody, this re-view, best sales, AliExpress stuff, etc., and it's been fantastic! I do love your reviews but these sorts of market analyses and purchase recommendations are a nice breath of fresh air. Not that I'm getting tired of your stream of excellent reviews, but it's nice to sometimes have a a wine instead of a scotch, you know?

Hey Jody, not sure if you've covered this one or not, but I picked up a great budget diver...Addiesdive quartz Diver known as the Seahunter Diver. It does have a quartz movement, but this is one of the best divers next to a Seiko in the lower priced category that I've seen so far. Only $39.00 USD including impressive lume and 200m water resistant.

I picked up the Coke Invicta 1953 to round out my soda collection. Great watch.

CasiOak - waited for the solar and went bright yellow. As a member of the gorilla wrist club, its a bit too small, and fiddly to use Timex i went snoopy marlin and have never worn it Tissot PRX 40m, gold and sliver quartz {2nd hand} and love it looks much more than you pay for it Inviicacopycat - was a no no ! Moonwatch, will just keep my old speedy, but great mass marketing for Omega

The Casioak is on my shopping list, I will have it modded. The watch is great, the mods just take it to another level.

@TheBimmer74 2 года назад

I bought the Casioak and love the way it feels on the wrist. I'm not sure I'm going to upgrade to the Bluetooth version because I'm guessing every year they will be improving it again and again so I'm just going to be happy with the one I have.

@steffenbaden-baden3723 2 года назад

Bought the CasiOak in red and the PRX auto in blue, kept both, happy with them 👍🏻 On my list for budget watches is the yellow CasiOak and the Timex. Invicta? Never ever! 🤷🏻‍♂️ Thx for the video, love to hear your „Halloooooooo and welcome…“ 😁

@danycardenas1614 2 года назад

Since Rolex went to the moon and impossible to find, I kept my watch addiction going with budget watches. Just picked up a steel Casioak and a Moonswatch and I cannot believe how much fun I'm having with them. They get more attention than my Rolexes and Tudors.

@jarnbjorn4522 2 года назад

still got the casioak and the prx powermatic 80 and some modded seiko, the casioak gets the least wrist time. pulls my arm hair a lot lol.

Got the blue-paesly Casioak recently and damn me.. got the all-grey one aswell and looking for another one already.. jeez. It just feels soo good and high quality and it's just a "fun" watch to wear! Weird to say but I actually have fun wearing it😄

@woesteloepi. 2 года назад

I love Invicta's! Especialy the one with the SW200 Sellita

@RobEverton 2 года назад

Great list of the "hottest". For me, I love the Dan Henry 1963 6S20 in the price range of the ones you listed, but I also still consider "budget" to be sub-$100 for most people (not "watch people" but most people).

@spenzalii 2 года назад

The Seiko 5 GMT feels like the next one up. I bought the stealth GA2100 at MSRP from Casio. Had to wait some months as they sold out almost immediately once they were in stock, but it was worth not paying more from a reseller. I do want a Moonswatch, but I will wait. Not about to travel across states or pay triple retail for one when there are so many other watches to be had

@G-rig6969 2 года назад

Not sure if it's me but the prx has served to increase in RRP in Aus. Still keen on a quartz but would have to be a good special, still a bit big on my wrist. Was pretty keen on that Invicta 1953 but couldn't find it cheap enough. Even a search now shows it as A$150-200. Bought a PD-1694 for cheaper and arguably better (same movement, dome sapphire, upgraded line and fantastic quality bracelet)

@Sov92 2 года назад

I think Seiko has an absolute banger with their new sport 5 GMT. I predict it will be a popular watch.

@JustOneMoreWatch 2 года назад

For sure!

@johnhanson5527 2 года назад

Honestly, even at $260 I would’ve bought a moon swatch. For me, I live close to Houston so having a timepiece that resembles the ones I’ve seen at the nasa space center is a dream. That said, super messed up to the point where I’m looking to buy the bulova lunar pilot instead

@BrittPearceWatches 2 года назад

Man those Timex GMT’s are just fabulous!

@jamesscott3263 2 года назад

Casioak has been my favorite beater watch since I got it, it’s a great gym and hiking partner.

@Robespierres_Ghost 2 года назад

The tissot prx is stunning. Waiting to see if I can find one for $450-500. I can wait since my collection has as been in the ridiculous range for years.

@davidrosenblum2178 2 года назад

What a well-thought out and executed video! I only have one of these, the Casioak, but I'm definitely becoming interested in the PRX as time goes by. I might have sprung for the Q but you basically scared me out of it talking about the bracelet... As to the rest, what it teaches me is that my tastes do not necessarily reflect other's tastes but that is all right. Cheers!

@MrTonyhague 2 года назад

Unrelated to watches, as I don't own a single one, despite watching various watch videos recently, it's nice to see Iain Banks on your bookshelf. That Tissot with the grid face is lovely though, and the Swatch looks like the emperor's New clothes.

@patrickkietzmann438 2 года назад

I walked into an Omega boutique a couple of weeks ago. Walked out with a Speedmaster. Kinda weird how it was easier to get my hands on an original moon watch than the moon swatch lol.

@sapphirenils 2 года назад

I have 3 three of those watches (the Moonswatch, the PRX, and the Casio). I got the Moonswatch (Misson to Pluto) a few weeks ago and since then it hasn’t left my wrist all that often. I love the texture of the material and it’s fun to look at it. The PRX quartz is just as amazing and it looks far more expensive than it really is. As for the G-Shock…The skeleton version of the CasiOak was just too good to resist! There’s no chance I‘ll sell any of them 😅

@jeh1333 Год назад

All my watches are keepers, I have never sold any of them. Now, I have about 50+. My oldest is a Waltham, dress watch I bought it around 1973, it is only 6.4mm thick, a really simple, beautiful piece.

@rmd4209 2 года назад

Great video. I would buy any of the 4 watches at the start but I would not spend $250 for a plastic watch which looks quiet fragile. Ok, you get the Omega logo on there but... The quality is what lacks here....

I like the quartz Tissot watches with quartz COSC certification. Just ETA innards, sometimes Precidrive I think. I can’t understand the enthusiasm about the Powermatic 80 movement, but I guess QUARTZ IS EVIL MECHANICAL IS GOOD.

@yuvalsheer 2 года назад

4 of the 5 releases were initially launched with Quartz. Shows that battery operated watches are alive and well.

@nonamename638 2 года назад

I have two of these five. Invicta 1953 green and black and Timex gold with a black dial. The other three I do not rule out. if there will be a MoonSwatch it will only be a Saturn.

@sinjinadams2862 2 года назад

Of the five, the only watch I purchased or wanted was the Invicta 1953. I have to admit that I love this watch. I missed the initial release so I had to wait about a year for the rerelease of the black bezel version. I had no interest in the bicolour bezel versions.
