.....Best Dive Watches Under $300...Citizen Eco-Zilla, Seiko Automatic.

[@karlroberts1827]

Thanks. I agree on the SKX007. I've had two. I just sold my Seiko Tuna (SBBN007) as I never wore it. Have also bought the steel EcoZilla. I like an uncluttered watch that I can read at a glance. I can't read the complications without glasses!

[@lestermax6041]

The whole point is the battery does not work on most of his watches citizen eco drive is the best never stops going

[@johnadams9044]

After watching your video and doing some exploration about the Seiko Automatic 200M exactly as yours, I found and purchased a new one in the box with tags and received great value for the reasonable price. Thanks for the heads up!

[@MrBacchus18]

Beautiful Fortis, and the titanium Ecozilla was such a steal

[@freemason419]

Great review! Love the fact that you sold off your Rolexes and kept your SKX007! I have a SKX009 and absolutely love it! Stay well and looking to watching more from you!

[@jsublett8871]

Hempty Dumpty my friend that was a wonderful review thank you for the very very useful information. I just recently found the citizen Zilla on St Thomas in the Virgin Islands out of watch shop brand new box and everything and it also came with shackles to change the band for 275. So I jumped all over that the Seiko I saw over there this shop had a lot of watches and I did see the old school Seiko and I think he was selling it for 200. So I think I'm going to head back over there and get that also before I leave the islands.

[@TheHollowGrave]

Liking the SKX. Recently got into watch buying and I've started off with the SNZF17 seiko. Love it so far, however three months in the bezel has jammed but with a little more force it moves. So somethings up with that however not the worst problem to have. I like the SKX style however I can't stand that minute hand. Wouldn't mind a Shogun but that's a steep price for me at the moment. Great video, a lot of awesome info. Thanks

[@darzgwapo]

Great honest review.

[@johndonnelly5971]

Excellent unbiased video thx.

[@rationalmystic5]

Mon 28 .....yup....could not have picked a better date for that Seiko.......I'm convinced that old school watches are better off with old school hands even if they have a "new school" mind.........and vice versa ........new school hands with an old school mind.

[@Mark-sd7fc]

Great video I enjoyed it very much! The Invicta would be a cool watch if it weren't so freaking huge omg 😲 I have a sterilized 8926 that gets worn every day in a foundry and mold shop and is holding up very well (seiko movement)

[@Contemplator24]

Great video man. Really enjoyed it.

[@satvinderbasran2273]

Nice practical review, well done

[@jghernandezsalazar]

Hi! If You dont mind me asking... Whats the brand of the bracelet in the ECOZILLA? Thanks!

[@Travis1Bickle]

Did you find out brand for Zola bracelet?

[@squidrides6339]

Please review the Steinhart Ocean 44 GMT. You'll be amazed at it's quality. I just received mine for $500. It's not perfect, no watch is... but it punches WAY above its price tag.

Great review

[@huntersihelp]

Hey, I'm just getting into watches and I was wondering if you could help me out? Thus far I have never owned a watch, but I do have my first (a G shock) coming in the mail. I want to get something a bit nicer as well. I'm really starting to like divers, but I don't know which to go with. Here is kind of what I am interested in: automatic movement, a tough(ish) kind of look to it (like that first seiko on the brown strap you showed), and the ability to switch the bracelet (?) out with one of those metal mesh looking bracelets and still have it look nice. Does any of that make sense? Also I'm looking to not spend a whole lot. I am still young and can't afford to be spending a fortune. To me ~$100 is about my limit right now. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!

[@kleinbottled79]

Seiko 5 SNZJ19J1 $170-180. Don't know if you can find that aesthetic in an automatic for cheaper. Worth saving up for however. There are other Seiko 5 divers (less tough looking) for closer to $100. Orient also has some good divers in that price range; but they are more classic looking. You can swap bracelets/straps on most watches. Seiko 5's included.

[@BobberLifeStyle]

what model is that invicta reserve?

[@Rafael-eb8pm]

Bela colecção

[@tylercannon]

Would you sell your Stainless Ecozilla?

[@CRD0204]

You started getting the watches wrong at the end

[@clevelrashad3493]

like a poor mans Robin Leach

[@cadmieljunior4357]

Sorry... but Fortis under $300? where?

[@montypark8302]

thanks for "watch"ing? nice

[@jayzenitram9621]

You lost me at invicta ...

[@Minimalist_Wonderer]

LOL......

[@hantms]

LOL, yes that's the exact moment I'm scrolling down into the comments.. My eyes can't take it! ;)

[@harvardford8752]

Han Thomas I think it's tolerable It uses seiko's old 24 jewel movement Edit My bad I'm talking about the pro divers The reserve line to me isn't good sadly

[@nikouai]

You mean you cannot accept anyone having different taste from yours

[@newhuskytwenty]

7:37 That "ashtray bezel" is the most horrible I have ever seen.

[@jiffjiffernson7292]

Your knee jerk, idle, chemically antagonistic brain fart has been recorded for humanity. Posterity thanks you.

[@WorldTravelerCA]

You never owned Rolex Submariner You would never speak in the same tone of voice and especially putting in Victor and otherwise you’re such us I don’t have to tell you down to the line and trust me I’ve been a collector for 35 years and I have over 180 washers in my collection and you’re just making yourself sound like a clown

[@sbsb4995]

Seiko made poor quality watches. you have to wear it every day to know that. time keeping is out. poor water resistant. Seiko is rubbish to be frank with you.

[@edkline6401]

Well that's utter bullshit.

[@Josh-jp3ft]

Yeah i have been wearing my SARB every day for a little under a year and i have not noticed anything that makes it stand out as "rubbish".

[@urbansherpa]

My brother and I have both worn SEIKO SKXs for over a decade. After a simple regulation, they both have been EXCELLENT watches. No complaints. Every bit as functional as a Submariner, at a fraction of the price. Also enjoying my SS EcoZilla. Nice review, thanks.

[@TheMediatorOfChaos]

Complete nonsense. I've used the ISO approved SKX007 for almost 5 years, much of it on duty or in the bush. The only watch I own that I'd trust over it would be my G Shock with Atomic Time Keeping.

[@hemptydumpty366]

Invicta has a 'reserve' line which is actually quite good, few styles appeal to me, but I have used them, and they seem to hold up.....and for the price of a plastic mass produced G-shock, I like them !!!

[@hemptydumpty366]

thanks everyone.....quality is quality regardless of marketed brand name and high price tag......

[@БрянскБрянский-й7ч]

what do you think about Deep Blue?

[@ARXDMOS]

deep blue are absolutely spectacular. professional divers for sure.

[@ARXDMOS]

lmao. considering every single one of these watches except the invicta and fortis are actually ISO certified diving watches, id say you need to STFU and do some learning. As to a quartz dive watch, again, you dont know anything as for example the seiko marinemaster 1000m quartz was tested and held to almost double its 1000m ISO rating and there is a video of it doing so in the actual ocean. imbecile

[@TheChadWork2001]

Imagine the turtle case Seiko he likes in this video, with a sapphire crystal, titanium case and strap. Would sell like hotcakes.

[@imtherealjoeyd]

It's nice to see videos where people have owned and worn their pieces!

[@capahpm]

Good review and love it. I'm new comer diver and just start diving couple years back, not really routine dive. Now I'm looking for suitable dive watch, and I;m interested with the first seiko you show in the video. May I know what is the series?. One more question, what is the meaning of 200 m if watches shows 200 m, May i use it for diving to a 200 m depth ? Some references say that 200 m Suitable for professional marine activity, serious surface water sports and skin diving, not a 200 m depth Cheers

[@pakistantalks]

i always hate jubilee bracelet ,it look gayish ,but oyester is my all time fav ,jubilee bracelet look girlish and and a bit over .

[@Kimmich-v7t]

The citizen Eco Drive watch is so cool. The original rubber strap can be replaced, and the 24mm lug adapter can be used to match the 24mm metal strap, which is more comfortable and beautiful to wear.🤣

[@anthonybrown1548]

Man you scored on that titanium ecozilla.

[@marcdaniels9079]

Nice Seiko but it’s huge diameter … as he says. Clunky

[@edkline6401]

I'm quite taken with my Orient Blue Ray II. Mostly because of it's relatively modest size. I don't want to walk around with a God damn Transformer on my wrist.

[@OFD]

Glad to have found your channel! ! Subscribed

[@itsallrobbish]

A really good video that sums up the appeal of the Seiko SKX007. It gets some stick from some folk, just because it’s so popular. People mistake build quality for fit and finish. Yes, Seiko get things wrong, like their misaligned chapter rings, but overall, their solidity is up with Rolex.....as this guy alludes to.......if anyone has any doubts, just handle a Seiko SKX on a NATO alongside a Subbie on a NATO.

[@nikouai]

I like your review and agree, quality first! Also this video convinced me to get the Citizen Eco zilla. And now - I love that watch. I can’t believe I can get that piece for $200, new! I love best my Breitling, that AR glass is just a class above any other I’ve seen. But still, I love my Citizens and Seikos 👍🏼

[@troelsweile7433]

Own a steel Ecozilla, had it for 10 yrs, you can remove the outer ring like the titanium, shouldn't be any differance on that between the different models. best watch I ever owned, has taken a lot of beating, still looks like new, pretty lightweight in my opinion, never notice I have it on my wrist, depends if you are a viking or a tiny guy :)

[@johnpaavo]

Bulova Seaking ! 300 meters 262 khz movement Plus or minus 10 sec a year. Not 30-45 sec a day like inexpensive automatic movements.

[@KISH351]

I really like your collection. We have the same taste in Great time piece's. I own two of my favorite Seiko's also I really like my Casio Rangemans. I'm looking at anther Oreint automatic. Great video, keep them coming.

[@ccgzhang]

Hey mate, thanks for the great comparison! I just bought an ecozilla and I really like the bracelet you put on yours. Could you tell me the brand or model number of it? Thanks!

[@Sr.D]

Love high quality quartz, the way the seconds hands hits the markers perfectly without any stuttering, it's as hypnotic as an automatic movement sweeping hand, but with the benefits of quartz

[@MackaOZ]

Hey mate, thanks for the great comparison! I just bought an ecozilla and I really like the bracelet you put on yours. Could you tell me the brand or model number of it? Thanks!

[@Theo-jw6hz]

Ur skx is stopped.

[@СергейБобнев-п2я]

Хорошая коллекция !

[@squidrides6339]

Fortis B-42 is a fantastic watch. I own one, but the lug length makes it difficult to wear for anyone with a medium or smaller wrist.

[@madforit4621]

The only thing is the citizen eco' are all 48mm dia which is a little to big I think for every day wear..

[@smorris227]

I have invicta pro diver quartz, potentially gonna get a seiko sxk 007 or 009

[@jitghosh8124]

Thats an honest review man. Well appreciated and true to facts. Both thumbs up

[@natasliah9702]

I have a seiko grandfather tuna, anyone know how much I should sell it for?

[@--RSL--]

That 1st seiko auto is about $400. You should check the Bulova sea king out.

[@blakehamilton813]

Besides the seiko, those are all ugly watches lol

[@ctrangedemon]

seiko ugly as well

[@kristomat]

I didn't know Hannibal Lecter liked watches. Jk. Nice vid!

[@brianvportugal1155]

Which Sieko was the 90s? Please mention models, thankyou

[@TomCorbett420]

nice ! the eco zilla is a monster haha (and i got a baby tuna ;)

[@samehh.b.alexandria9350]

Thank you for the video! Totally agree with you on the SKX. I have some dress watches including high-end ones like omega and longines but i usually pick the SKX007 on its own jubilee bracelet for office days (on formal auits). Many complain about the light jubilee bracelet that comes with the SKX and concider it cheap but it is super light and comfert with the gaps between the bracelet links and I think it adds to the x factor and gives the watch a character of classic sports watch that is now dressy as the submariner is, which makes it special among Seiko divers.

[@samehh.b.alexandria9350]

*formal suits*

[@SuperPeleke]

great review, awesome insight on the quality of different watches

[@ImDembe]

Wait what? Fortis for 300$?! Sign me up!

[@alexsani3340]

Υοu had me at leather strap on.. haaaahhaahhaahha 5:56

[@leba5583]

you are definitely a man of good taste and fairness.

[@MrPerroballoo]

Amazing pieces .... nice collection ...!!!

[@aviewaskew706]

Where can I get the Ecozilla bracelet??!!! I’ve seen a lot of crap straps and I would like to know where or what the brand of that strap is.

[@ccgzhang]

I want buy it too

[@rjdevera4291]

great review and nice collection

[@mark0001]

Thank you for your review. So useful!

[@ndac87]

You have a very nice collection!

[@tuurask1511]

Is that the Seiko SKX007K2?

[@robertandrews8946]

Great honest review thanks

[@itsalgud1459]

Interesting collection.

[@olegzatulovsky5324]

Fantastic collection!!!

[@stever7097]

Really informative

[@MrBacchus18]

Really excellent group of divers. How often does the SKX need to be serviced?

[@leebarrett9581]

Never, just wear it.

[@Nebuchadnezzar18]

Great review man.

[@torgomax]

Subscribing!

great video

[@armandosairally]

Great video

[@Magnificent1393]

What is the model of the seiko(first watch)?

[@karlroberts1827]

Magnificent1393 SKX007 is the automatic watch (second hand not moving). I've had two, and I wear one every day. (Gave the other to my bro). The SKX is a classic. I've regulated mine (take the caseback off, and slow/speed it up) and it's accurate within a couple of seconds a day. The tools needed cost me under $20.

[@JohnyMcNeal]

Whats the exact model of this seiko shown here? First one.

[@louise7168]

quornash SKX

[@coffeeisgood102]

You are right on the spot concerning the SKX. I purchased one recently, the pepsi dial. Its a great watch. Another watch that no one talks about is the Enicar Aqua Graph. I bought mine new in the early 1970's and I still have it. Still runs perfect. Great video, thanks for sharing.

[@gentelmenschannel5028]

Yeah they are good watch for money , I am only talking about Seiko not shitty Invicta and citizen but they are no compare to a Rolex but if you compare for the value yeah they are great , either you don't have any judgment power or you wear a fake Rolex from China

[@larvancioramos9748]

Invicta, fortis, ecozilla!!! Very HIDEOUS watches, poorly choices. The lack of a single Orient, the presence of a big watches are just disgusting.

[@santiagodelrio8880]

I hope you disinfected that table after having all those turds on there.

[@simonmonty7171]

Santiago Del Rio do you have to desinfect your mouth everytime you talk?
