Tom Brady, the greatest American soccer player who ever lived. Funny on so many levels.

[@SpaceG95]

That one made me rewind twice 😂

[@borassictime918]

Tom who??? 🤷🏻

[@piriyasantipunpitak343]

I thought this Tom guy won "7 american premier league championship"

[@tobyclayton2597]

I don't know who Tom Brady is and I always thought that 'Superbowl' was baseball! 😂

[@woozertoo]

This Brady person keeps getting equated with a barnyard animal, according to American sports media for some reason.

[@kyledriscollmusic]

Jacob and Co should make a watch where the Bon Jovi watch is fighting the Tom Brady watch

[@nl5h]

If Jacob redid that seven Friday it would possibly be the ugliest watch ever.

[@martin8uq]

yes! haha, what ever tickles your pickle

[@cormackeenan8175]

The Tissot 1893 is undoubtedly the worst of the bunch for me. It’s as if your grandfather started to wear lycra shorts and couldn’t understand what all the fuss was about. Where each one of his balls is East and West of the Meridian line.

“The great watches and wonders in the sky” 😆

[@wargamingrefugee9065]

I wonder if, "The great Basal World in the sky." wouldn't be funnier.

[@cunawarit]

The PRX digital is one of the coolest watches in recent years. It's nice to see a Swiss brand bragging about a new digital and even naming the module in the marketing. The 4012 Calibre is worth mentioning. It is simply sublime and suited to the PRX's 70s vibe. Digital is coming back, as is quartz, as shown by the quartz Patek. Bring it on! We've had too many years now of horology aficionados obcessing over mechanical watches. Lets now enjoy a second wave of quality quartz and digitals.

[@wargamingrefugee9065]

Admittedly, I'm a mechanical movement preferer. My current project is cramming a Miyota 9015 automatic into a Casio Duro/Marlin, replacing the quartz 2115 Miyota. The 2115 is a good, all metal movement -- but that one hertz, quartz tick just isn't for me. That aside, I agree with you. Bring on the new, digital watches! And some LED's to go with the LCD's. Also, there's no reason we need to settle a single color backlight. RGB illumination would be a fun and easy to implement option. Additionally, the negative space around the display would be a great place for some panels for solar charging. A fun, grab and go watch. The cheapest of Casios already have a perpetual calendar, but would multiband 6 enable automatic daylight savings to standard time in addition to auto time setting? Yes, G-Shock's currently do a lot of the above, but the recent Casiotron anniversary watch and the PRX digital showed there's a good amount ofI interest in dressier, all metal alternatives. Here's hoping.

[@cunawarit]

@@wargamingrefugee9065 sounds like a cool project.

[@dantealighieri4258]

I don’t get the hate for the digital PRX. A stainless steel body, sapphire crystal digital watch? Not many options for one of those.

[@FadeRunner13]

I have one and I love it

[@ImaginaryEvil]

​@FadeRunner13 same. It might not be the most beautiful watch ever made, but it's solid, well finished, reliable, sapphire crystal, eta movement, definitely not a terrible watch

[@tiagobrandao6588]

I really don't get it either. People who say it's just an overpriced Casio really don't get it. The main appeal of the PRX as a whole is the excelent case finishing and bracelet for the price, and in here you're getting that quality for the lowest MSRP value possible. And complaining that the screen looks small in the case is forced as hell

[@AndySmith4501]

If I were to go to a watch convention, I'd buy that Tissot and wear it just to wind up the watch snobs

[@deansusec8745]

I dont mind it actually. I remember when digital watches came out, they were quite cool.

[@mk84142]

I think digital watches are cool. Casio in particular. But... that tissot is just ugly in my opinion.

[@AndySmith4501]

@@mk84142 All subjective. I think Casio are horrible tat

[@SampleTracks2224]

Likewise. Watching the fragrant experts vomit their guts out at the mere sight of it would be worth the cost of entry

[@GreenHoleSun]

I respectfully disagree with the inclusion on the list of the prx digital. You can dislike it, obviously, but it is basically a reissue and fusion of 2 '70ies classics by Tissot...I can understand why some people is going to buy it.

[@jasongultjaeff9397]

Yeah, it's fine. It's nowhere near that bad. The watch KZbin crew have a bee in their bonnet about it, but who cares.

[@YYZed]

NGL, I don't hate that PRX. I don't want one, but I don't hate it.

[@GeraldGarcia]

It's easily the best of the worst (i.e. this list). If Tissot put a high-accuracy movement as a feature, maybe I'd even buy one.

[@rodg2335]

The PRX digital is the only PRX that I like. I grew up in the 60's/70's. There were plenty of early digitals using the same format.

[@theitaliangent-fl5gw]

Absolutely brilliant! Well done, Andrew!

[@FuquaRomeo]

I've recently discovered that I prefer having a watch that displays the date. So it's the Aqua Terra for me.

[@ahha6304]

That Bon Jovi watch gives a love over watch a bad name, still I prefer love over gold

[@bernardlim6469]

[@Chris-oz9qx]

Whoever designed that Tom Brady watch must surely be secretly working for Patek or Vacheron

[@dakistle]

That last one really hurt. Now they need to do a colab with No Fear to go back to their gigachad status.

[@ryantan5963]

Hahah your writing/monologue is so fire!!

[@anthonystevens8683]

Another cracking video Andrew. I agree with most of your choices with one slight exception. The Tissot PRX Digital. Why you may ask, it looks odd with a rectangular display shoved into a round sports/dress watch and in that respect for someone who missed the 70's you would be correct, actually you would arguably be correct anyway. Well, there is a handy (no pun intended as it's a digital display) to this watch. For fans of racing it's actually really good, with the stopwatch you can record multiple consecutive lap times without the need for two stopwatches (one is stopped after a lap when another starts so you can record the time), you can also record the delta times between the whole field of competitors. So in a nutshell it probably should be consigned to the annuls of mistaken wristwatches bin but it's actually a very useful tool that may look odd. I also think it looks better in the smaller size as the display looks bigger. A dress watch no, but as a sports watch for racing that's another story.

Very good again with extra points this time for multiple Captain Pugwash references. Additive Manufacture is different to Rapid Prototyping though and the plastic carbuncle of a watch could have been so much better because of that.

Get a Hamilton Khaki Bronze. Patinate it by wearing it. Save a shedload of money. It's got a mechanical movement too. ...and it's a solid bronze case, unlike that PVD coated horror, so it won't wear through to the base metal

Andrew's monologs are the epitome of what I call art. So well researched it's like a hard crossword puzzle when you don't get one phrase and have to look it up and get a little dopamine hit from the newfound knowledge. AvE here on KZbin does the same kinda thing albeit, from a much more dirty set of fingernails. Honest question, is there a term for this kind of scripting so I can find more of it easily?

[@chepulis]

I actually like the TAG Heuer colors

[@TheGrenadier97]

I'm not sure why, but i feel sad for the PRX digital. It doesn't seem as offensive as it sound, honestly. Round cased rectangle dialed digital watches existed in the golden age by Casio and Timex, to mention two, and since the analog PRX are more or less from that time, a digital version is theoretically an unique exercise on "what would have been". It also had an unique potential to be a premium vintage-styled digital watch that Casio is yet to offer (the limited edition Casiotron reissue is more expensive, if i'm not mistaken). My bet is that it was too outlandish for the mechanical enthusiasts pleased with the PRX and too unheard-of for Casio fans (the majority of digital owners), specially because it's not actually a reissue.
