10 Watches Under $100 | Overlooked Affordable Watches

[@harishkarumanchi7244]

Since you started the straps store, can we get a tutorial video about how to change watch straps at home.

[@TeddyBaldassarre]

Yes...I absolutely need to make that video.

[@DrGalazkiewicz]

I wish they'd reissue the spaceview in a wide capacity.

[@leonkruk8003]

I would love a new Bulova Accutron Spaceview!

[@brianwca]

Great video. I recently had to think of a watch to get my 10-year old son, and needed something inexpensive and smaller in diameter. I went with a Timex, but I found that almost no one has videos/recommendations for this situation. You could do a great video on an inexpensive "first" watch for kids.

[@TeddyBaldassarre]

I really like this idea, Brian. Adding it to the list.

[@chriscon8463]

I just got my 9-year-old a Timex Expedition “Camper” 38mm. He loves it, especially the “Indiglo” lighting.

I have the Timex Expediton in blue and it worked great while working as a photographer at a summer camp. I was running around with it every day for around 12 hours and it held up fine.

[@AnindaCBR1k]

love these kinda videos!!

Oh, my GOD. You're the FIRST Channel that mention Gigandet! I currently have 2 right now & they're amazing for the price. & The official seller on eBay often put auction for quite cheaper too! Amaaazing value!

[@djdelarosa25]

Teddy, my boy, you deserve millions of subscribers with the quality that you put out.

[@austinsmith9413]

My theory: buy a cheap $20-$30 automatic watch off eBay. When it stops working in 2-3 years take it apart and try to fix it.(have actually been able to fix the movement on one and other problems multiple times.) If I can't fix it, I replace the watch for another $20-$30. In the end I only pay about $10 per watch per year and never need to worry about ruining an expensive watch.

[@aroshgk]

No one does digital better than casio. Love the retro look of most casio digital watches.

[@chuckratcliff]

One of my favorite watches under $100 is my Vostok Amphibia, Automatic diver. Also, Teddy, would love to see a video on the Bullova Spaceview.

[@williammarshall468]

I like the look of the Expedition Ranger, looking real good.

[@curiousmind4870]

Hi Teddy, cheers from Argentina. Of course this line of "Affordable Watches" videos are very helpful, mostly for countries (like here) where the prices are more than the double you get there in the U.S. I recently bought the Casio World Time at almost $ 74 (US dollars). Imagine the rest... Keep up with the channel. Congratulations and thanks for your effort!

[@TeddyBaldassarre]

Thank you, my friend.

[@mikael8250]

I bought my first watch a few weeks ago! A Seiko SNK803. I swapped the strap for a dark green mocha strap, with stitching matching the face of the watch. I love it. I'm on a really tight budget, but am hoping to expand my collection over time. I wish to learn more about watches and chronology, and i find the engineering extremely fascinating!

How is the Timex harborside coast in green? Anyone like it/have experience with it?

[@JeeGee114]

I am going to Germany this weekend and get me a Braun watch while visiting the Red Dot design museum. I have had the alarm clock for ages and I always wanted one. Without Braun and Dieter Rams there would not have been Apple in it's present form. It will fit perfectly in my small quartz designer collection of Jacob Jensen, Alessi and Mondaine.

[@gauthamvenugopal8076]

Love these videos with price budgets. My favourites under 100 dollars are Timex,Casio,swatch. Keep up the good work.

[@chadwaters261]

Hi Teddy, The Bulova and the Orient Capital 2 are the best looking classy watches in this video. Very good suggestions.

[@TeddyBaldassarre]

Hey Chad, great to hear from you man! Thanks for watching!

[@Todd_Whitehouse]

Another fantastic video, Teddy. I don't remember if it's in your other video but the Casio Marlin is a great watch under $50 (usually). Throw a better strap (possibly a Baldassare selection...) and it's a solid piece for the price imho. Thanks again for solid content!

[@TeddyBaldassarre]

Appreciate it Todd. Yes, the Duro is a great watch. I have just mentioned it so many times that I wanted to give some other watches their time to shine.

[@Todd_Whitehouse]

Yeah, I figured... (still hopin' for that F1 drivers watch selection video! Keep up the great work.)

[@michaelduby3699]

[@TeddyBaldassarre]

Hey guys, all the links to the watches and to the watch strap line is in the description. Thanks for all your support! It really does mean the world!

[@Ecksterphono]

The Precisionist is awesome in the Bulova line

[@TeddyBaldassarre]

Great mention!

[@garrettjanssen7683]

Finally the straps drop! My Hamilton Jazzmaster is in dire need of a new strap. I'm curious though Teddy, we have small wrists-are short straps in the works?

[@TeddyBaldassarre]

Hi Garrett, potentially. I will say the contrast stitch padded strap and the hand-painted cognac fit well on a small wrist out the box. All the others, especially the rustic brown fits well too if you are not against punching additional holes in your strap if needed. All of them don't have an excessive tail that shows out the bottom either.

[@garrettjanssen7683]

Thanks Teddy. It's on the list!

[@alfonsoabrach5814]

I believe you missed Casio duro which is a tough player with 200m of WR and screw down crown and great look for about $40-50. Accutron video would be cool. Cheers!

[@TeddyBaldassarre]

I have given the Duro mention several times on the channel. I did not want to fatigue people with mentioning it again.

[@ross798]

What's interesting right now is how some of these watches retain their price point but others reflect the inflation of the last year and have gone up over 100% in price, which is in line with a lot of items I purchase, some prices are up 300% just in the last 12 months.

[@EDC_Bond]

Massdrop has the Orient Symphony II with sapphire crystal and display caseback for $94 every once and a while.

[@gabrielgarza676]

Teddy, what would you recommend at 2500-3000 usd? I'd like it to be dressy / casual (like a Rolex OP) and between 36mm - 38mm. Thank you!

[@karlsenula9495]

Casio Duro is also nice for under $100... not sure how you feel about them but there are some decent spec chinese watches for under $100. Also perhaps the Vostok Amphibian.

[@caedengoering]

Do that Bulova video and ALSO you need to check out the Cadisen c1032. It’s available on Gearbest for $53.13 and it is a wonderful watch that I just got. Chinese for sure, but it’s an original design, stainless steel, sapphire crystal, hand winds, Seiko NH36 HACKABLE movement. Feels great on the wrist and I honestly love it.

[@FlawzDesigns]

[@JJexciter]

Excellent video, Teddy. Yes, a Bulova Accutron vid would be great. Yes, I will be purchasing a strap from you very soon. And...here’s an idea I think you should seriously consider. You need your own half hour weekly series on the History Channel. Something ala Anthony Bourdain, but obviously dedicated to Horology. A horological journey around the world with you as the host. THAT....would be amazing.

[@TeddyBaldassarre]

Hahaha I would love to make that happen. History Channel, if you are listening, I am open to it.

Teddy can you please define at water resistance number you are able to swim with a watch daily. The very term resistance does not lend itself to defining whether you can swim in a watch every day.

Teddy, you could get away with doing a video series on watches under $100-$200 on each of those brands alone. I’d love to see (for example) a video on the top let’s say 5 Timex under $100, or whatever you think is reasonable for “affordable” watches. 👍🏼

The seiko SRPA27 is pretty acquirable under 100

[@daviddeckert]

Nice selection save for that faux-vintage chronograph. Not an honest homage to whatever IMO. The Timex is an interesting (and well chosen) model with the muted blue, gunmetal, and brown. Not quite sure about its size or use of a diving-style bezel however. And I'm guessing the bezel does not turn? The "World Time" (um, there are zillions of Casio "World Time" models ... ) is the AE1200WHD-1A or AE1200WH-1A in all-black. Both are ALL plastic, not "stainless steel" per se, even if the AE1200WHD-1A does come with a SS bracelet. That Braun tho ... You get a no-date (yay!), Bauhaus-like dial from the country that Bauhaus is from (yay!), their iconic yellow seconds hand, leather strap without obvious stitching, "lugless" brushed or gunmetal? case, signed casebook and buckle ... there's a LOT going on with this minimalist design. They also have a white dial/brown strap version, a smaller white dial women's, and a "Bauhaus chrono" for just $5 over the $100 limit here.
