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??? 🤷🏻

[@woozertoo]

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

[@MrZPal2099]

[@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.

[@theitaliangent-fl5gw]

Absolutely brilliant! Well done, Andrew!

[@johnord684]

I got my 16 year old his first watch for his graduation its a Tissot ,and he loves it.

[@andoletube]

I know it's wrong, and I'm deeply ashamed to admit it, but I find the Tissot PRX digital oddly appealing. Does this get me banned from the channel?

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.

[@cunawarit]

@@Aztasu What do you mean? From a 70s perspective which is what the PRX is all about it exudes a sense of luxury and sophistication, far from the look of a cheap plastic digital watch. It harkens back to iconic timepieces like the Omega REF. ST 186.0004. Acquiring a digital Speedmaster like that typically costs upwards of £2000, often much more. These watches are truly iconic.

[@ac0rn75]

Outstanding writing and delivery Andrew! 👌

[@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.

[@nikr1d3r32]

Lol “guilty pleasure watch” should definitely catch up in this space 😂mine is MoonSwatch 🤷‍♂️

[@readysoftwaresolutions6844]

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?

How did they manage to make that BonJovi watch look like cheap cast pewter ? Reminds me of things I had pinned to my schoolbag in the 90s...

[@fontyyy]

That AP is terrible, I'm now selling my fake Royal Oak, it was £85 and I feel like I've been conned. But I think you're wrong about the quartz GMT Patek...it's ok. If you'd care someone called you out on a fake, whether it is or not, then you need to ask yourself why you care. If you're not enough without it, you'll never be enough with it.
