They all looked fantastic with the Casio Edifice being my favorite. I just like the less is more approach they have used in its style and design of the dial, hands and markers. It’s super thin too making it an ideal dress watch / everyday watch. The G Shock is a close second for me. You always have great content and an excellent presentation! Very well done 🥃

My approach and requirements for a beater, besides truly affordable price (300 is probably a decent upper end yet 4 times the price of my current beater), is that it either is so cheap that beating in practice inadvertently does really not matter much or sufficiently tough or resistant that a 300 dollar piece can withstand a few proper knocks ensuring its good looks. On top, I prefer it to be a grab and go, which for me means long life, ideally solar, but possibly very long battery life. For me, a beater is actually not a daily wearer so much as for those occasions that my activities may indeed lead to inadvertent knocks and scratches.

After wrecking or sufficiently damaging three $100-200 watches in as many years, I bumped the budget to allow for a Citizen BN0150 diver ($350 at the time). 6 years strong with zero maintenance aside from new straps and spring bars. It was worth it to pay for enough durability. $30 Casio W217 as backup. **with that said, I am also in the process of repairing one of those previous watches now.
@benjaminvisАй бұрын
@Vattiis_Happonnen with so much breakage it makes sense to want something properly rugged. I don't remember exactly, but I believe my beater has been going fine for over 6 years now. Obviously it has been knocked and scratched plentiful, but no substantive damage. Ultimately, my 'rugged' use is occasional, however, and I wear other watches far more regularly. Only when I think that I will be in situations where a watch better be worth less or is more likely to get damaged, or more remote travel, that's when I put on the beater. I think the wear on it shows that's a very sensible decision.

As someone who works for a living (landscaping), the only ones I would consider as beaters are the G Shocks; and even then, resin is far more comfortable - I wear the GW9400, and am buying the GWM5610 (understanding the video is about luxurious looking watches). Anyway, great video as always.

I’m sure you won’t read this but maybe the comments section will answer. I’m looking for a good watch brand that has a wide selection of watches at about $300, a solid watch but by no means luxury. The only brands I know that have plenty of selection in that range are Citizen, Bulova, and Tissot. I’m not into the super cheapos, I’m going to be wearing them around friends and dates. I’m just trying to add to my wardrobe to have watches for every occasion. So far I just have a G-Shock for the gym, a fancier rectangular dial Bulova, and kind of a sport-casual Bulova.
