Hi! Saw an old video of you wearing an alpha industries bomber jacket (I guess in slim fit). You also wearing this jacket on your profile pic. Can you please tell what's your height and weight and what size do you wear?

[@dexterh4640]

Have you seen the Tag Heuer smart watch they made which was included in Kingsman 2?

[@maheshsharma-wj7rq]

Have a safe journy

[@LonelyEmpireMusic]

Really, an unsponsored watch video? I didnt know they still made these.

[@ChrisStephensTCW]

Hayden_McLoughlin come on Alex sponsored Vincero a lot

[@joshuagarcia7287]

he really does sponsor vincero man :/ you making him look like a hypocrite

[@SplinterFX]

@Hayden_McLoughlin fam vincero is hella good.

[@Ash12428]

SplinterFX lmao vincero is not good.

Alex is a different breed, and by far the best men's youtuber there is.

[@TsimRosengren]

Yells "dont have it between wrist bone and hand" Every clip shows the watch between hand and wrist bone

[@maxjohnson2757]

For modeling purposes

[@tarasmathers7423]

lol....I noticed the same exact thing

[@amaktoomjan]

I know, right? No matter how I try, I end up wearing exactly like that. Close to the wrist. I am more comfortable that way.

[@pacovl46]

TsimRosengren that’s the way a watch is actually supposed to be worn in my book! That behind the wrist bone thing looks so stupid to me! But hey, to each their own!

[@septembersticks6991]

I see what you mean. I think it's because he was wearing long sleeve tops with it, because he wore it right when he wasn't wearing long sleeves. The sleeve pushes the watch forward and makes it hard to keep it at the wristbone, unless you can bring the sleeve over it, but then you won't really see the watch. I also find it hard to keep it on the correct position when wearing jackets or long sleeves. My philosophy is: allow it only with long sleeves. Other than that, it goes before the wristbone.

[@TheLifeFormulaa]

Don't wear multiple watches at once

[@neitherlink6612]

That’s an obvious one...

Alex, great video! Thanks for not forcing fashion watches down our throats. You're one of the best, if not, the best male fashion KZbinrs! Thank you.

[@alexcosta]

Thank you fam , means a lot!

[@aaronjudy8038]

I love how he says not to wear your watch all the way down your wrist, but that's exactly what he's doing in all of his glamor shots 😂

[@buckcampbell4292]

That highlights the reason I wear my watches all the way down on my wrist…otherwise you can even see it when wearing a long sleeve shirt.

[@WayneMan88]

There's a reason why every single watch brand model their watches right down the wrist towards the hand. It's not a mistake, it's because it's both more practical and looks the best. Having it further up looks ridiculous for a guy.

[@buckcampbell4292]

I disagree on watch “placement”. I like my watches down on top of the wrist bone. I also like the band to be loose enough that it can slide around a little bit.

[@v.t.3194]

Same for me. Also, good quality bracelets don't catch hair for this very reason.

[@heredotrecayi]

5:31 loose watch is better then a tight strap , dont forget that any kind of tight strap damages the vain and blood circulation and causes varicosele. coz tight is tight . On the other hand loose watch looks cooler , why would you wear a tight accesorry , do you wear a fashion bracelet that tight ever ?

[@edwardstrishock8541]

Having the watch band/bracelet, sized correctly, . Ask a jeweler to size it for you, always keep removed links in your box with paperwork and receipts

[@rodpanhard]

You will usually find there is a difference in your wrist size between left and right of around 1/4", some watches will fit and look better on one wrist over the other so try both when sizing the watch. In my collection I have watches that sit better on my left wrist and others that sit better on my right so they are put on whatever wrist gives them the best and most comfortable fit.

[@Tom-vy3cb]

Still love my watches just can’t get into a smart watch

[@LuisAraujo-h4d]

I've recently began my obsession as a watch collector. And i must say- out of all the luxury brands I've been researching, for me the amzwatch's watches are the most intriguing.

[@karhuedc7233]

Watch position depends also on the watch case & strap selection. If the case has smooth edges (e.g. cushion case) in combo with 4 or 2 o'clock crown and elastic strap (there are even "elastic" bracelets like jubilee out there) - it is gonna be OK in any position. Also to mention, watch manufacturers usually officially recommend to wear watches a little bit loose, because it is simply unhealthy to squeeze the wrist too much.

[@derekwallace1955]

So I'm just trying to figure out where on the wrist the watch is suppose to rest. He said above the 'wrist knuckle', but in a lot of the shots he's wearing it on the knuckle or below? He's not even following his own advice?

[@sherabnamdhak6485]

Looks like I am screwed then I wear my watch on my dominant wrist and I wear the face on the inside of my wrist. Always have always will.

[@MrChrisr34]

I always wear mine on right hand and right handed as find when I do have on left as I don't use as much I found I damaged it more as not focusing on my left hand

[@TomTheOne4Life]

5:25 you wear it exactly like you told that a watch is not to wear? But why? I think it's easy = it just looks good ;-)

[@alexcosta]

Thank you, means a lot!

[@SnaizenEffect]

I love wear watches and always did. When I lived in Brazil, Rio de Janeiro, the problem was being afraid of being robbed anytime. Now my problem is only my thin wrist 😂.

[@ugotmetoday9521]

Good to leave expensive watches at home in safe under bed, wear a $2 kids watch when out of home.Getting mugged is a fact of life in 2020.

[@Realstudioco]

The method you've ❌️ is the best way. The wrist expands and contracts during the day. Or you can still wear it tight if you're a toddler.

[@vikasjhariye3082]

Keep calm and watch alex

[@hakanbirkol442]

Like most people, I actively use my right hand, but wearing a watch on my left wrist feels uncomfortable, like wearing a handcuff. I am very comfortable and happy with my watch on my right wrist, and I don't take extra care to protect my watch, I just take it off and put it in my pocket when I'm going to use a hammer, carry something heavy like a box, or do something that could get damaged. :)

[@simic218]

Is G-shock style watch?

[@fbedendo]

don't use Faustão's watches

[@alexcosta]

LOL

[@chrisc.1005]

LOL

[@joaogoo]

ahhahaahahhaha that pretty much sums it up

[@MilitantX1]

I'm left-handed and watches are made for right-handed people with the knobs being on the right side of the watch for them to access the buttons with their right hand. So, they can easily wear the watch on their left hand or non-dominant hand. For me, however, to have a right-handed watch, made for right-handed people on my right hand (non-dominant); defeats the purpose of the buttons that are also facing to the right. So, I wear my watches on my dominant hand (the left). Nice video and I just subscribed.

[@jeremysnead9233]

You wear a wpaltch on the left so you can set it with your right. There are left handed watches. Wear you watch so you can adjust it with out discomfort. When you bend your eldow in a proper dress shirt the watch face should be visible. Watches were warn palm side of the wrist be of trade requirements ( note taking).

[@topangacailah]

Watches are so delicate and intricately designed, so I have intense respect and admiration for AMZWATCH watch makers

[@akinigiri]

Regarding smartwatches ... a thin, narrow and tiny heartbeat monitor like a fitbit tracker is better because it looks less strange if you decide to wear it on one wrist and a mechanical on the other. I don't need any messaging capability. Apple ... make a simple thin and narrow one pls.

[@MrJquondude]

i think you should rephrase the not above the wrist bone to loose enough slide back and forth... thats the tip for sizing because when your hands are down they will fall over your wrist but when you look at it you want it slide back above the bone... and true watch purest dont have smart watches ;P

[@farhaanakhtar2668]

The diesel jacket tho 😍😍😍👌

Ya thats really helped me with my casio f91w

[@jamessawyer1331]

I'm wearing a Garmin Fenix 7x right now w/ 51mm and I also have a skinny wrist. Doesn't look big at all.

[@brycefairbairn389]

Wear the watch before the wrist bone -> every close up b roll has the watch on or past the wrist bone.

[@Woodshadow]

I have tiny wrists and even a 40 is pushing it on me. It feels hard to find good watches that are smaller than that

[@alexcosta]

No way man! Sooo many nice smaller watches. Definitely do a little research and you’ll find beautiful pieces :)

[@julesalmodal]

Fitbit Alta is my go to watch at the moment because it’s simple and no huge face to manage and like a bracelet, just change the strap color depends on your current fashion. What do you think @Alex ?

[@AgSmithsilversmith]

Two things. 1, you know 100% that if big watches become fashionable again, you gonna wear one. 2, practice what you preach. Every, and I mean every shot of you wearing a watch it was over you wrist bone man.

[@maxx_vdv4960]

I do not agree with the first thing. As a watch collector with a big love for vintage timepieces I'd never wear those wayy to big modern watches. Even if that's the trend, at least I'll stand out.

[@jerryjohny8237]

Nice video Proper guide to how to wear a watch properly

[@Noobmaster-ki1yb]

cool video, but a lot of the clips demonstrating watches are below the point you said they should be fitted. I love buying straps with mechanics which make me able to change the straps fit to setting.

[@mashrurchowdhury5506]

Alex Costa Is The Best! Best Visuals In The Game. Love Him. Inspired me sooo much!!! Esepcially as 14 year old. Big up Alex my friend!

[@mickeyjohnson1137]

If watch placement is where you say it should be, why does horology refer to it as a "wrist" watch? Just curious. I do wear mine where you say it should be.

[@ilooknoob]

Don't forget Nato straps, one of the most versatile straps to dress up and down (à la James Bond).

[@vishalvarma9511]

Try the Kronaby Sekel.. a hybrid smart watch which looks very premium.. trust me, you will literally love it

[@DJ-cz3uw]

There is a smartwatch out there that looks good with suits it's called Samsung Gear S3 it looks just like a regular watch and you can get leather or stainless steel straps

[@dibs6579]

“Don’t wear the watch past your wrist bone” all the montage shots proceed to be worn past the wrist bone 😂

[@tawansilva2009]

Can you talk about streetwear in hot places like brazil?

[@Cortesevasive]

Don't use leather strap in hot places

[@francois1805]

Alex what about NATO straps for the watch ? It’s so versatile

[@Buzbikebklyn1]

I usually wear a 37 to 45 mm. I do have a few 50s. Always on the none dominant side. With one exception I wear my Dads watches on my right. Matching the bracelet to the wrist is a "Try and go" situation. When dressing up, the thin, round wear well.

[@stgs1988]

You do have 'Hybrid' smartwatches. They look really nice and tend to bring the best of both sides; tech and elegance at the same time.

[@alexcosta]

Seen them! They’re nice but they can’t replace any of the classic watches in my opinion :)

[@shaunleonard3878]

Great tips! 👍🏼 Not sponsored! ❤️

Thanks ALEX i am your fan

[@pattinsr]

Alex I respect your video however please don't wear those gaudy silver rings with the Rolex datejust not classy and doesn't match. Takes away from the classic look of the watch and distracts from it's elegance imo!

[@AdFunk]

I wear my watch loose, at the end of my wrist - girls wear it tight, higher up the wrist and you do look like you spend more time in front of the mirror than my girlfriend, so thanks for the advice, but I'll pass. We don't all aspire to look like a yuppie - some of us have got swag!

[@patrickcannady2066]

Don't forget NATO and Zulu straps as alternatives to steel and rubber for casual looks.

There is one correct side for a mechanical watch, the left hand. Unless you have a watch with stem and crown protruding from the left side of the watch.

I have a 38mm Rose Gold Apple Watch with a small pink sports band and it is okay but I bought a purple watch that is 45mm with an automatic movement and I know which one will last. I am yet to get the purple watch but I just hope my small wrist is big enough for it because on every photo they all look so cute and small and then when you get them they are freaking huge.

[@DLindgren46]

I dont understand. If you say that the watch should be placed before the wrist bone, but on every shot in this video the watches are placed after the wristbone. I think it should be where you prefer to have it and not a rule to have it before or after the wristbone. Otherwise good advise.

I can't wear my watch on my right arm even though I'm a lefty because the knob is on the outside of the watch when I wear it on my left hand and on the inside when I wear it on right and when it's on the inside the knob digs into my wrist if I bend it inwards.
