20 Watches You MUST Avoid

Respect to Marshal. Because of him, I signed up for watchmaking classes in a couple weeks with the AWCI in Cincinnati.

[@DogDoc1991]

Marshall makes watch repair accessible and watching his videos gives you a great appreciation for what goes into manufacturing a mechanical watch. I’d love to take up watch repair as a hobby but I don’t have the time in my life to develop the skills.

“Mulling is also one of the most satisfying things to do.” Most British sentence ever spoken.

[@seanbirtwistle649]

if only more people knew about the joys of mulling. it lets you indulge those impulses for as long as you want without a reality check 👍

[@Lintybaybay]

This is definitely up there with your best work. So well written 👌🏾 thanks!

Hey! Great video. For me, most of these points apply to buying decisions in general. I especially appreciated the one about "mulling it over". Thank you!

‘I looked like I’d lost my carer’. That’s supreme and the first time I’ve laughed out loud watching KZbin in ages!

[@powderhousewood]

I made the mistake of buying a clone. Not full on counterfeit, but a Pagani Rolex Pepsi from Amazon. The first time I wore it, I happened to be talking to an old timer who had a genuine vintage Rolex Pepsi. He commented that we had the same watch and I was embarrassed to tell him that no, we didn’t. #learnedthehardway

[@b.santos8804]

Yes - this is the danger of wearing a clone (or just a full on fake). While they might be, in and of themselves - excellent watches that have great specs and keep excellent time and obviously have the classic style and visual appeal of the "real" watch it is homaging (or faking) - at the end of the day, YOU know that it is just a pale imitation of the real thing, and if, on the off-chance you meet up with another fellow watch enthusiast, you'll be shame-faced having to admit you're wearing a fake or a clone.

[@threethrushes]

It's like someone who claims to have studied at the Department of Chemical Engineering at Bangalore Technical University. And when asked a pedestrian question about their time there, they don't get it right. Embarrassment all round.

I've made the compromise of making a "bucket" list of the watches I would and can buy, the list must be revised as it's too long.

[@sumalways]

First things first.I cant afford a rolex or an omega.Second even if i did there cant be one watch which suits each and every outfit that you wear.If you think im lying keep two watches one white dial one black and pair dark dial with darker ourfit and white with lighter outfits.Basically i rather have reasonably priced watches which i can pick up during the year whithout burning a big hole in my pocket.Some people are addicted to food, some with cars and us with watches😂

[@alexmosteanu1713]

Great job, Andrew. Well written and very insightful… I am particularly impressed by your analogies. The outdoors part cracked me up- cars, watches always try to show you that once you purchase the product you enjoy the great outdoors, when the reality is that you will just enjoy signing up for a second job! Keep up the insanity sane!!!

[@alekhidell7068]

I once heard a story about a couple of guys who bought some bad watches: the one ended up in the hospital, while the other guy is serving 25-to-life. A bad watch can really make a difference in a person’s life, or so the salesman told me.

[@alexsantiago3181]

I just buy what I like and what's a resonable price. Paper stats matter yes, but also a watch must be usable, comfortable, reliable, good-looking and functional

[@TheLaughingMan42]

As to "No. 1" I love a California dial on a square watch, and my $150 Spinnaker scratches that itch and unlike a $12,000 Panerai, and i don't have to worry about breaking it or having it stolen. 🤷 The rest of them I agree with.

[@eliarthur7088]

There’s a stark difference between an homage vs a fake. Your Spinnaker is a homage, and imo; there’s nothing wrong with owning one.

[@BryanVoigt]

@user-io2ym6gm8zCitizen, Timex, and so many other big name companies all make a version of the Rolex datejust that look identical. Are the fakes or homages?

Getting a watch that’s too versatile. I just picked up a Tissot PRX Quartz green for a vacation. I’ve received more compliments on it than any Rolex, Zenith, Tudor or Omega I have owned. It’s super accurate, comfortable, stylish and can wear it anywhere at no risk. It’s basically perfect, so why all the other watches?

[@vincentcharollais5660]

I have a dark blue automatic PRX. Same here, I never been complimented like that with my other watches.

[@WillSavage]

I get it "gotta catch em all"....made me chuckle Andrew, witty as always, keep it up.

The irony of YT serving me up a Whoop ad in the middle of Andrew is warning about the downsides of adding more sensors to my life…

Andrew, this video is absolutely among - if not the - best you’ve ever done. Reminds me a bit of the way Jethro Tull lyrics have been described as “impossibly dense”. This is one for the trophy 🏆 case

[@RoadRallyLife]

Fantastic video that transcends the initial topic (a trivial one in the grand scheme), great work as always.

[@FerdinandZebua]

I owned a Q&Q SmileSolar for about 14 years. Its rechargeable but unreplaceable solar-powered battery recently died. I'm now kinda sad. I don't think I'll be replacing it with another Q&Q SmileSolar though. Nor with a plastic Swatch. I've placed it on my bedside table as a memento. I still love it and will keep remember its great service to me for more than a decade. (What am I using though, for my daily? Why a Casio MRW-200 of course.) (It's currently 5 years old and I've only replaced its battery once so far.)

[@markdickerson3486]

Another thought-provoking, humerous and true video. Keep 'em coming Andrew!

[@williamolliges2622]

So much sarcasm and wit. I’m laughing all while trying to determine if the video feed are examples of what not to buy. The smart watch bit was clear, and I remember reading an article about the two tone Rolex. . .

A brilliant video Andrew. Was the subliminal watch advertising intentional? 🙂

Nineteen minutes and fourteen seconds of pure entertainment. Thank you so much. Plus of course good advice.

[@andygall9397]

Awesome!! I tried to repair a Casio Edifice this week, disaster...obviously. The battery swap was easy enough, removing the crown pure guesswork when KZbin let me down, replacing the chipped glass was surprisingly satisfying but the plague of the loose glassy hour markers (who wanted to stay seated less than an incontinent pre-schooler) nearly drove me bonkers....fish!!

[@lincolnroberts298]

Damned you, Andrew. I was drinking coffee when you started number 6 and now it's all over my shirt because I couldn't stop laughing😂.

[@boombringer4078]

[@dannysimenauer5745]

Buying a fake watch says more about your personal integrity then anything else. At least by an homage which has its own logo on the dial.

[@threethrushes]

What if someone collects fake watches, because it's their thing?

[@ttothec]

"...jump into a Hublot store" 😂😂😂 Masterful.

[@threethrushes]

The script-writing is something worthy of so much more than 'just' a watch channel. When you graduate from watches into mainstream comedy, I, for one, will not be surprised.

I broke rule no. 19 the other night when I ordered a Pitzmann III Chronograph within an hour of watching a review about it. It's my first expensive watch, can't wait to wear it and I regret nothing!

[@speedracer2please]

Ugh I spent way too much of my life with smartwatches and watches way too big for my tiny wrist. I regret it all and am still selling/gifting them while I slowly replace them with small dress watches. I did actually have a medical situation, and a fitbit was of no use whatsoever. No doctor cares about your "steps," all it did was sudden false alarms that my blood had no oxygen in it.

I bought a $2.50 watch in a dollar store with dummy buttons, fake complications, a glass watch glass, and the watch band broke before I even opened the package. I put an old band on it and wore it all day and it was very enjoyable. And it keeps good time.

[@appubaje]

Bloody love this video Andrew 😁

[@joelbenford9327]

You are colourblind. You have a gold Omega DeVille quartz 33mm that your parents bought you for your 21s birthday 35 years ago, and you like it just fine. Somebody who knows about these things finally tells you that gold is not your colour. You spend two years looking at fine watches costing thousands, on forums and websites, thinking that you need to buy a silver-metal watch and why the hell are all the nice wathces mechanical instead of quartz these days? You can't find one that really clicks, that makes you think "yes, that one, I don't need to look any further". Don't buy the 5k watch that's closest to what you want. I drew a line under it and bought a Seiko Dolce, which is close to my old watch in steel. It's for telling the time without getting my phone out of my pocket, not feeding an obssession. All things considered, I'm happy that I spent £300 on "close enough" instead of £3000. I still seem to be subscribed to a lot of watch youtube channels, somehow. Hmm.

[@garysalisbury8949]

This is great commentary! Amazing how a video about not buying more watches makes me want more watches too. And its all true - i love "mulling" over stuff. And im so glad the industry is starting to realise they were making stuff thats far too big.

[@garypollard1821]

Andrew, you deserve the Nobel Prize for Wisdom for this, or a nice badge for your hoodie. Thank you.

[@duncanhamilton5841]

The paradox of being into watches is that there is no such thing as a grail watch, there is no end to collecting, there's no 'keeper', no perfect watch. Thus, we are doomed to forever chase the horizon. Personally, I'd recommend avoiding the mid range G-Shocks (£300-£700). They're really rather good and you end up just forgetting to wear the hideously expensive 'sparkly antiquities' you've bought.

Please don’t let this man tell you that you can’t buy a Timex, Casio, Seiko, Citizen, Bulova, Tissot, etc from a store like Macy’s or Dillard. As a matter of fact, I opened a credit card with Macy’s and they took 20% off my Tissot PRX Powermatic. You can’t find a deal like that anywhere.

My loved one usually has one of three comments, when I show her one of my watches: "Looks like my granddad's", "Looks like your others" or "Is that the one I got you?" Now I got an Invicta Pro Diver with a gilded bezel and a blue, purplish dial. I bought it on ebay for a low bid, which I thought wouldn't win, but got "lucky". This watch was commented like this: "Oh, what a beautiful colour combination! That one's really special and I love seeing it on your wrist." I guess I can't sell it now. Should I have avoided buying it?
