18 of the BEST Watches for Students - High School, College, and Post Graduate

[@manasraut9377]

[@MWall711]

As a high school teacher, I can tell you that it is rare for a student to wear a watch, and for those that do wear one, it is usually a smart watch.

[@Jorge-125]

Yeah, I agree. Plus I don't think a high school student would want to wear the calculator watch because of the possibility of being made fun of. Other than smart watches I have seen a lot of younger people wearing the gold Alarm/Chrono Casio watches, probably because they're sold at Zumiez.

[@alphaenterprise2232]

Another thing is that not many ppl at my age appreciate the idea that something that they wearing on their wirst is the fruit of someone's craftsmanship.

You are correct...Anyone past Gen X will most likely NOT have a real watch, as you said if they do, it would be smart watch or G-shock

[@lamboboj]

When I was a student intern, my bosses loved discussing watches. I got intrigued, started reading up, and understandably got into watches. As I started my first job at 23yo I wanted a watch to commemorate graduating/starting work, and during a family trip to Japan I bought a Seiko SARB033 for less than 300usd. At that time I was proud to get a Japanese domestic model that I was eyeing at such an affordable price. It fit perfectly on me, works well, and looks good with different straps for various occasions. Seiko has since discontinued this model, so it is even more valuable to me now. It so happens that this watch has 23 jewels and every time i see '23 jewels' printed on the dial, it reminds me of the excitement of being 23yo, graduating and starting work. And as I bring the watch to my ears, the ticking still reminds me of the joy I had after buying this watch, as well as the memories of a wonderful family vacation. I have since gotten a couple more watches, but nothing beats the SARB033 in my heart! (maybe not until i get another 32 or 35 jewel watch to commemorate another life event few years later haha. ps: no. of jewels do not correlate to quality, but to me its a nice way to relate to an age)

AS a Finn I have no idea what grades or schools you go through, but I truly enjoy listening to Teddy and hearing about these watches

[@michaelniemer4449]

As an American of Finn decent, I can assure you that the grade and school structure here is still somewhat open to suggestion. It really depends on where one lives and what one wants to do. I can relate, though. When I watch my favorite Scandinavian guitar KZbinrs, I often don't really know anything other than I really enjoy how they play, and what they have to say about the music and gear.

Nothing beats a Casio if it comes down to value and function. Durability is irrelevant when you can buy these at the cost of an average restaurant meal. I don't own one myself but that would be my go-to if I didn't have money. If you have money, upgrade to a Citizen Eco-drive with sapphire. When you really HAVE money, well, the sky's the limit with watches :) For mechanicals, Orient/Star has been my new favorite watch brand.

No Orient Kamasu? Sapphire crystal, automatic, 200m water resist, 41mm, multiple dial colors to choose, accurate movement, can be had for $180-$200. I think it blows out of the water pretty much anything under 350.

As I was in my first year of college, I bought a Day Date Jazzmaster while most of my friends bought Daniel Wellington. It was pretty pricey $500 for me. Already done a service last year. After a graduation, I bought the last batch of 2500D movement black dial Seamaster Diver 300M in 2018. Got a tempting discount, so in total I paid around 3 grand. Gotta spared some money through working and did a little hustling

[@SaltySeaCaptain]

"Hustling" huh? 😏

[@ryan-smith]

Quartz, solar, and analog-digital combo: these are all my criteria for a watch I want to own. And that makes me an all-Casio guy since high school. Four Casio watches is all I need: a G-shock for daily beater, a Pro Trek when traveling, an Edifice for going out with friends, and an Oceanus when I have to dress up. G-Shock G-steel: around $400 Pro Trek: around $500 Edifice: around $350 Oceanus OCW-S100 : around $500 The longevity of these four watches is amazing. I'm not a student anymore but these four watches have been with me since high school and I haven't bought anymore new watches since.

Now in my third year of college I got the Seiko 5 SRPD51 and I absolutely love it. I’m definitely looking to start building my watch collection further from here on out after getting the Seiko 5, it seriously got me to fall in love with watches and for that it will forever be a staple and hold a special place and meaning to me.

College student in nyc, got my first paycheck from my lab internship and dropped 600 on a tissot couturier chronobquartz and loving it 😌

[@pranaviyer971]

I'm a student (getting into uni in 2023), and my next watch is most probably going to be a Grand Seiko 9F GMT, preferably the SBGN003 or 005. I wanted the 011/13 but it had too much Zaratsu and I'd be uncomfortable beating the crap out of it, so that's that. I needed five qualities, which are: 1) Easy to maintain 2) A GMT to track multiple timezones with a "true GMT" movement 3) At least 100m of WR (preferably a screw-down crown) 4) Extreme versatility - enough polish to be dressy but I should still be able to beat it up and it should be fine. 5) Under the radar (this being the most important characteristic for...let's just say obvious reasons) Given that these were the circumstances, the SBGN003/005 were pretty much the only watches I could think of. I'll most probably go for the 005, because I have more than enough black dials in the collection. Plus, wearing a Grand Seiko, and that too a quartz one at that - it gets attention, sure, but it gets you the right kind of attention that only an enthusiast can give. By the time I do start residency, I should be able to at least have the 005 and the Sinn 104.

[@rodrigosimoes185]

I think this is an important topic. A lot of decisions and time efficiency are required from students and a watch you like can be a token of the way you value Time (more than style!). For my high school senior year I got a beautiful Tissot V8 chronograph to the split second. I wore that watch almost everyday until today, that I'm finishing my masters degree. I'm now the guardian of my father's Omega Speedmaster 145-022-69 pre moon watch, as well as a smart watch I got as a graduation gift. I really feel naked without a watch in my wrist and I repeat, not for fashion style, but for lifestyle. Time costs lives...

[@dinispaulino7512]

Great recommendations, Teddy! I bought my first mechanical watch for my 18th birthday, a Hamilton Khaki King, and I couldn't have made a better choice!

[@aslamc9288]

I was a pretty big nerd in high school, all honors and AP classes, debate team, all that stuff-and even I knew wearing a calculator watch was like wearing a shirt that said “Bully me, I won’t fight back”. I wore a Seiko Kinetic in high school and then a Seiko Flightmaster quartz chrono in college. I loved watches, but I didn’t know a lot other than brand names. If I could go back and do it again, I think I would have gotten a Seiko SKX007 and worn that all through college. With college comes a lot of bumps, nudges, spills, and waking up in weird places and positions. Much like the Seiko 5 Sports you mentioned, the SKX was attractive, durable, and had good WR. Could easily survive a keg stand or pub golf tour and do it with a bit of a rugged panache. If I were to do it now, I’d probably go with a Hamilton Field or Seiko Turtle.

[@victorkim9411]

For medical students residents and fellows. Since hospitals run on military time Hamilton khaki field auto (or any watch with quick 24hr time reference) is great for quick time conversions. Especially useful for calculating drug trough levels and timing of lab values.

I got into watches towards the end of my college years and just like many, had no financial way to back any of my wishes at the time. I remember thinking that Breitling was the pinnacle of watchmaking lol. I was obsessed with busy dials and since Breitling was waaaayyy out of my budget, I was hoping to save enough money one day and get a Citizen World Chronograph. $300 seemed so much money at the time for a watch and I was reading reviews of the watch and people saying how they owned 2-3-4 citizens… they seemed as the biggest watch collectors ever and I thought how cool would it be if i ever owned 3-4 $300 watches… By the time i got enough money to start buying some entry level watches my taste changed with more research so I started buying mostly divers and field watches. Finally this year, I downsized my collection to only 12 watches… looking to get a speedmaster this year

Shelter and other things I actually have quick the pocket change, at least more than most people would expect; now, my collection isn't exactly extensive, but it consists of a 20$ Bass Pro Shop Wath (Kinda out there, but to be honest, it was enough to hook me), A Bertucci field watch, most of you probably won't know what that is but its an 80 ish dollar Seiko SRPE67 ripoff that's also quartz, but my latest watch is the Seiko SRPG37 which I got at a discount for 242.5 USD It was an excellent birthday gift I gave myself and id recommend it to anyone that's into as deep as I am.

Law school students: law is one of the professions where you are still expected to wear a suit and tie on a regular basis. Aim for a luxury swiss watch when you graduate law school. It will help you catch the eye of the senior partners or the judge you are clerking for.

[@pistonburner6448]

I say for lawyers you should wear a fake of as expensive a watch model as possible: show everyone that you can get away with crime in front of everyone's noses... 😅

[@martintanz9098]

Or not. Maybe if you are getting a prestigious federal clerkship or working on Wall St, but the reality is, most lawyers, and most judges don't care about luxury watches.

Congrats on the AD of Longines, Teddy!

[@Mike51689]

I’m an attending physician and can afford the higher end watches you mentioned Teddy, but I more often find myself rocking my Casio Duro (with a third party metal bracelet) or CasiOak instead ;)

Wish to get any of those, text me 👆

[@goat8614]

Same here! I have several 3k + watches from Longines, Omega, and Seiko. But I just love wearing my Snk809 with a third party strap and sometimes my Hamilton Khaki

My very first watch, as a student in junior high school, was a Texas Instruments LED watch...wish I still had it! It set me on the road loving watches, and I never looked back.

i feel like vostoks are underrated, i mean its got a 10 year service interval and can be very accurate if you get it adjusted. Theres also so much aftermarket support for it, you can swap out almost every part into every vostok, almost all cases fit almost every vostok movements, dials hands and bezels can be swapped out as well to make it look like anything.

Love the vid, and I hope to get some of these later in life, but out of med school we get paid 30-50,000, usually 40,000 per year for 3-5 years after accumulating 200,000-300,000 in debt, so buying a luxury timepiece usually isn’t an option because majority of finances are lost to various insurances, car payments, mortgage/rent, loan payments, groceries, phone bill, Wi-Fi, etc

I bought the Seiko SRPB43 cocktail time my junior year of high school and have worn it quite often since. I am now a sophomore in college. I love that watch and I am glad to see the cocktail time series make the list.

[@MastinoNapoletano420]

Glad you started carrying Longines. My first "real watch" is a Longines A7 with the black dial. The single button chrono and the tilted face sold me on it. It keeps time really well and it's a great conversation starter.

I’m half way through my masters degree. Right now I wear a $50 Starking Automatic dress watch lol. However, I’m going to buy myself ether a Tudor Blackbay or an Omega Seamaster with the blue wave dial as a graduation gift to myself. Great video Teddy!

[@Isaiahkoralek123]

Hi Teddy, I love your vids and you helped me get into watches at the young age of 11 so I just want to thank you for helping me get into this awesome hobby!

I'm currently in medical school and I'm thinking of picking up a Tudor Black Bay Ceramic when I graduate. It's the only other manufacturer other than Omega that makes a Master Chronometer, but that probably will change by the time I graduate. However, I doubt other companies will be able to make a ceramic watch at Tudor's price point.

I really enjoy how you start your videos, as always with a great content of what the video will be about

[@Eliisthegoat1234]

I love this video. Over the past couple of months I have been not been watch collecting due to university. This video was great thanks!
