10 Best Chronographs under $200 - June 2019 Watch of the Month Club

[@robertlewis9854]

Love this series of videos. Lots of great ideas for those of us with smaller budgets for our watch hobby.

[@JusttheWatch]

Count me in the "smaller budget" category as well!

[@2000bhoy]

I recently bought a Bulova 96B231partly based on your review and the fact that i couldn't get a Lunar Pilot with date. I am very pleased with it and i paid £129 in the UK. Thanks for the advice and keep up the good work.

[@TimeToGoTravelAndTimepieces]

Always look forward to these videos. Some really nice picks for the price ranges!

[@blatz66]

the best thing about the MTP4500D-1AV is that vinyl record like dial face.... that and the retro style numbering really makes the watch for me, i love mine.

[@miraxell]

Totally agree on tachymeter.

[@JusttheWatch]

Good to hear I'm not alone!

[@holgermuller3597]

Cool way to present adorable watches with these viseos! Thanks for that! The Fairfield Supernova looks like a movie requisit from a scifi film of the seventies 👽

[@JustaSecond]

I've got a couple of interesting options for flight watches I want to share with you. First one, I do not own but find interesting. It's the Aeromatic 1912 model A1373X - $79 on Amazon, automatic with a Seiko NH35. Second one, I do own and very much enjoy. It's the Aeromatic 1912 model A1396 - $89 on Amazon, automatic with Aeromatic 3266.24-17 movement with 17 jewels 32 hours continuous run time, full lume dial and retro spring crown guard.

[@charlie-obrien]

Both are great recommendations. I have the Timex Intelligent Quartz Linear chrono. It is slightly different than the Fly Back and I went back and forth for a while making the choice between the two. I was however, completely unaware of the Casio chrono which seems like a really good find for only $40. My favorite of all that you showed today has to be the cream dial Citizen Brycen. Wow! Such a great update on the tradional racing chrono from the sixties. Great video overall and I throw the Parnis fleiger pilot's watch in the mix for next month, in the under $120 category.

[@JusttheWatch]

The Brycen is one I've had my eyes on for awhile. Strongly thinking about picking it up, especially as there's not that many reviews of it, and there seems to be a lot of interest judging from the comments so far!

[@cgoodwin256]

Timex came out with another flyback in the Waterbury line. It looks identical, but it's now twice as expensive.

[@buddhalama3023]

Full support, amazing your voice and reviewing, thanks, BUDDHA LAMA from Malaysia 🇲🇾🤘🤘🤘🤘

[@garyggarner7738]

I purchased 2 Timex Expedition Chronographs. 2 Seikos one with an Elegant Looking Cream Dial, one Black Dial with White hands. Like them all!

[@kevins4936]

Citizen ca0649-06x chronograph watches are amazing and beautiful.

[@edteach3r]

Excellent Video, thank you. The Timex watches punch far above their weight.

[@SoCalWatchReviews]

Great picks Dave! Love me that Bulova!!!

[@bigfunanAmericaninGermany]

once again well done! i love the supernova! might have to try and get one of those ... and the other vid... the family one... very funny! that's great!!

[@ajones4064]

Great presentation!! That Casio for $40 steals the show!!! I can vouch for some of your suggestions, as I have them in my collection. As you said, there are many great choices available in the "Budget Watch" category. The quality and options that come on some of these watches actually rivals what you might get with a higher end watch. Regarding next month's episode for Aviator style watches in the "Less Than $120 Catagrory": ......1st watch is one that Jody over at Just One More Watch just reviewed: a nice Corgeut 42mm Fleiger Style watch w/Sapphire crystal from AliExpress for $69. The 2nd watch would be the Citizen AW1361-10H Eco-Drive Avion for around $75 - $80 through Amazon. I have the Citizen and I must say, it's a really nice Aviotor style watch, and well worth price. Sometimes you can catch the Citizen on sale for even less. I scored a second one for my son 2 weeks ago for $51.00. The price has since climbed back up to around $77 right now, which is still a tremendous value for what you get!!! Thanks for sharing and doing such a great job of researching these watches!!!!

[@JusttheWatch]

That Corgeut looks like a pretty awesome deal. Definitely going to be a lot of Chinese brands next month I think!

[@JustaSecond]

I own a Citizen Avion and it's a solid piece I very much enjoy.

[@stusims6567]

Great video!!! I love chronograph! I own several, some on this list, some not on this list. I own a Timex weekender that does a great job for me. I bought it for $38 about a year ago, and it does everything the Timex watches you had on your list. I think it got more expensive after I bought it, but it was a real bargain when I got it. I also own a Nautis divers chronograph that I bought for $90 on a release buy in. It has 500 meters water resistance, a sapphire crystal, and an automatic helium escape valve. It’s probably my second favorite. I also have a Wohler chronograph with AR reflective sapphire crystal and 100 meters water resistance. And I also own a Bulova Precisionist chronograph that has a second hand that is smoother than any automatic on the market. I bought it second hand for $154, when it was a $1000 watch at the time. If you buy at the right time and place you can get some very good prices without breaking the bank, which is good because I don’t have much of a bank to break! LOL

[@islandterror5198]

Just received a Corgeut type A Dial Pilot with Sapphire & updated Miyota 821a that Hacks for $66.00 \ I recommend for sure. Cheers👀

[@motlay]

I got the same watch. I'd recommend it as well.

[@dustinwray2819]

Island Terror how do you like it. I have been eye balling that one for awhile seems to be a lot of watch for very little money.

[@JusttheWatch]

Looks like a great watch. I'm a little more partial to the type B layout, but this one looks really clean and well done.

[@RossWristWatchLove]

Great video love the Casio!

[@smithgregorya]

Enjoying your videos Dave. For a mecaquartz can I recommend Seiko SSB031. Saw one in the flesh recently and it is a stunner.

[@MichaelMitchell-vk9lk]

Nice choices,thanks

[@JusttheWatch]

Thanks for watching!

[@flatulent-1]

I would love to see a roundup of pirate style watches. Arrr.

Great video! I've been looking for a chronograph and I just ordered the Invicta Speedway 😁 Thank you! It's exactly what I've been looking for and the price! Perfect video, I'll report back in 2 days after I receive it 😎👍👍

[@xakano_in_time8166]

I do enjoy these Watch Club vids, great work! The Casio Chrono is a steal and the Brycen just adds some colour and indeed a more interesting dial. With regards to Pilot watches, jheeze, that ones going to be hard. I look forward to it - Good Luck

[@M82RKY]

Very nice review, I like these types of videos.👍

[@JusttheWatch]

Thanks man, I have fun making them. It's gotten more fun as I get so many recommendations from the comments too, I get to learn about a lot of the deals that are out there.

[@kelvinhall9957]

[@americanpaisareturns9051]

[@stephenvoorhis1547]

Great video, I can attest to the Casio. Great deal. The movement alone is worth about the cost of the watch. Casio has one of the best value watches out their.

[@JusttheWatch]

They're a really cool brand. I see them on people's wrists here in Japan more than any other watch.

[@maciejrucinski5163]

Great video, some watches I didn't know (Casio!) I'm giving sub and waiting for more☺️

[@WatchesChecked]

Great picks, would love to see you review that Bulova 96B231 I really like the design of it. Also, I didn't even know that Casio like that exists, that a beautiful watch!

[@imbeingjudgemental644]

Citizen ref. 6561 is a solid chronograph

[@mr.smitty4359]

Great video love your content Dave...

[@philipjanes]

Very cool. That Brycen.....

[@LymanPhillips]

Invicta - still image over functionality. Digging the Brycen, but I'll probably just get a rally strap for my Spinnaker.

[@richardmcginnis5344]

3 years ago, you say nobody uses the tachymeter? i use mine with a broken speedometer cable i showed my girlfriend how to know how fast she was driving by using it on a measured mile once and now she takes my citizen chandler from me every time we go somewhere and i drive to make sure i'm doing the speed limit, other than that not really but it did get her interested in chronograph watches and now she has one

[@ModernRegimen]

I purchased the Casio MTP4500D and unfortunately had to send it back. The main problem was that it was hard to tell the time in slightly dim conditions, the enlarged 60 & 30 markers makes the user have to guess the surrounding few intervals, and the lume was useless. But the craziest part is that the build quality is immaculate as if it were a $200-300 watch. The slide bezel was pure buttery precision. And the bracelet's finish was baffling for its price range. I would consider it a solid DAYTIME watch all in all. Great video as always! Really enjoy your channel. Cheers

[@JusttheWatch]

Thanks for the report! Usually the lume on watches in that price range is pretty terrible. Definitely an area where Seiko has a pretty big leg up on Casio. Might try the Flightmaster or Citizen Nighthawk, but you'll be jumping way up in price.

[@ModernRegimen]

@@JusttheWatch You guessed it on the money! I'm actually aiming for the Flightmaster. I use chronographs religiously for timing many of life's duties but torturously yearn for Eco-Drive. Really dug your Nighthawk review and it made it much more difficult to decide between the two. I wish Seiko made a solar Flightmaster. That would sell like hot cakes. You're the man, Dave! Keep up the phenomenal work

[@RelativeTime]

Great video as always. Seen some familiar Chronos, including the supernova. I think I might still have the only review of it here. Suprised more people haven't picked them up. Still, love the look of that Citizen Brycen as well. Another interesting option that I just ordered is the Bulova Curv. They first one was rather futuristic looking, but the second set looks more contemporary. Noticed some refurbished ones on Ebay for under $200. Very curious about this one. As for next month... hmmm pilots watch under $60 may be a hard one. The only one I can think of is Ruimas Flieger on Ali. Under $200... I'd have to say the Citizen Nighthawk.

[@JusttheWatch]

I haven't seen any of the newer curvs, just the sci-fi esque original. Bulova definitely has some interesting things going on.

[@woonfaseng8737]

i have the timex intelligent quartz chrono. the 2nd time zone can also function as 24hour indicator (say tell night or day 10 oclock) if you dont want to use it as 2nd time zone. and it can count up to 4hours , which is at least better than a lot of chronographs who can only tell 30mins or 60mins max, some chronographs especially those quartz fashion types even have chronograph for just 10mins (i.e. 9mins 59s)

[@mwsfdx]

Check out Alpha Watches. Really cool homage of Newman Daytona

[@chinaman1]

If you're gonna include Homage watches, look at Parnis, they make a lot of Rolex homages, and their daytona homage watches are really well made. the movement is very nice and the screw down buttons for the chronograph is fantastic, even better than some german made watches I've seen.

[@screaminhell]

Well I was a bit surprised not to see the Seiko Coutura make it to the list. It's a great chronograph available under 200 USD with a sapphire crystal and even an alarm function.

[@JustaSecond]

I want familiar with the Seiko snd. A nice looking piece. I'm a sucker for a cream dial.

[@georgewatanabe3846]

I actually have the pagani mecha quartz in rose gold and leather. It's a lot of watch for the money. the pushers have a satisfying feel when you use the chrono.

[@brilliantradience]

An alternative to the Invicta is the Parnis Daytona 03, I have one and it's a good value watch but a bit small and the clasp doesn't open enough which makes it a pita to take on and off. I love chronographs and have 10 including the Brycen.

[@JusttheWatch]

Yeah I forgot about that one! Haven't gotten enough Parnis on these lists, but they make a lot of great pilot's watches too, so I think they'll be making an appearance next month!

[@jmdudley3859]

You have a great channel 👍👍👍

[@Joe-lk6oc]

Suggestion for Pilot watch: Orient Flight Quartz (Blue or Black) or Citizen BM7390-22X

[@bruce000000070000000]

Subscribing, really like this guy

[@gregsolovieff6711]

Great show! One problem always overlooked by chrono manufacturers and reviewers is some statement regarding how long a total time interval the chrono will measure without needing to be restarted. I want a chrono that’ll run in chrono mode for at least 12 hours. Most seem to go only for 30-60 minutes.

[@JusttheWatch]

Thanks man! I just did a review of the Citizen Brycen and talked briefly about that.

[@petrisz]

This $40 Casio is €120 (roughly $135) in Europe :-O

[@Andrew-J316]

Thanks for the review as always! Opens up a whole new range of watches and styles when you post these type of reviews.

Dave, great job. I had to pause it to check out that Invicta. For the pilot watches how about the Ruimas with a Miyota and sapphire?

Not familiar with that one, but definitely going to check it out, sounds like a great option.

Yeah it's a great movement, especially for the price. Solid, dependable, affordable, fairly accurate. Obviously you can pay more for higher end movements, but if you're looking at a watch under $400 it's one of the best options you can get.
