[@MinuteMon]

All 5 of these are available at our shop www.caratco.com And yes, Seiko does pretty much dominate for us under $1,000…

[@johnny_bravo9990]

Seiko 5 GMT is $300 in Walmart

[@corporatekhiladi]

Which one you would recommend as a dress watch?

[@kirkthebeerslinger]

@@corporatekhiladi that Seiko Pressage or Seiko Alpinist would be my choices out if what was shown here

[@r4yfoong190]

Seiko really OWNED the budget under $1000 range

[@JBentham1523]

Yeah but no sapphire on some 600$ watches is awful.

[@5ifty_cow997]

​@@JBentham1523I could only assume it's bc they want competition between their different price tiers. But yes I agree

[@onraj9mm]

Many Swiss watches under 1000.

[@mayfort8573]

No it’s Casio

[@NotASeriousMoose]

What?! We laugh at Seiko because they are such a bad value option now. Buy Japanese, but not Seiko.

[@darrenc5563]

Seiko and Tissot are the best at what they do at their price point.

[@chaoseus]

Yow thats literally my 3 watches lol. Seiko 5 GMT, Ice Blue PRX PM 80 and Seiko Panda 😅

[@simonramos1217]

How do you like the PRX I’m debating between that one or a seamaster 80

[@alishera.2540]

I’ve got a Hamilton Khaki diver h6451 for under 1k, been loving it! I’d recommend looking into those as well

[@prstechnic1774]

No hamilton’s? Those watches are classy and built like tanks.

[@KiLLJOY1056]

I love Tissot especially for the price point. I think they have some great options.

[@viveklama3821]

I have the Seiko Speedtimer 911 panda dial love the watch the solar power reserve is awesome and it’s my daily go to watch..

[@vokso11]

Unpopular opinion : the Tissot Gentleman is better than the prx with a timeless design and higher quality movement while staying under 1k.

[@supertriz]

@@vokso11 especially a preowned. I snagged a Gentleman 18k gold bezel and black dial for $700 on eBay. It looks amazing in person.

[@Bennychu720]

I reckon the Gentleman as a one watch because it has a standard bracelet and looks really good on other straps so you can dress it up or down while a PRX with several watches because it’s more unique with that sporty integrated bracelet look.

[@FelixDavilaProductions]

I agree - but if you’re going to get a gentleman, might as well go with a better Seiko at that price point. What I like about the powermatic is its design is unique and stands out as a sport + dress watch.

[@ross1880]

@@supertriz That watch is awesome. It looks great!

[@TotallyAHumanNotADog]

​@@vokso11 Gentleman has the upgraded silicon balance spring and no plastic parts whereas the PRX has a standard balance spring and plastic parts. Gentleman definitely has the better movement.

[@mohammedsaif6241]

Hamilton Khakhi Field Deserved a place in top 5

[@tomking7080]

The Tissot’s are my favorites. I’ve had a Tissot PRC 200 for about 20 years and I wear that watch the most. I have a steel Sub,A Santos and a Omega but the Tissot is my daily

[@WH-hi5ew]

I love the Alpinist... only issue is that it's a bit chunky but works well on the whole. Good watch for the price.

[@cfunited6885]

I was deciding between the prx and the alpinist and got the prx ❤

[@StereotypedMe_]

Great decision 🍻

[@andream78870]

What about the new Citizens Tzuiosa and diver?

[@vipnetworker]

I have several of these watches. My favorite is my Tissot Gentleman Powermatic. So simple, clean, classic. Like a Rolex OP and an Omega Aquaterra had a baby. But instead of costing $6,000 it costs about $600-$800 depending on where you buy it. I love the Rolex OP. I love the Omega Aquaterra. But I can’t justify buying either knowing how great my Tissot Gentleman is. I could maybe justify $1,000’ish on a a Christopher Ward Sealander, which might be my next watch… or The Twelve.

[@MrHav1k]

The Speedtime is a beauty. Very attractive watch!

[@DerpyWRX]

What about Hamilton? Khaki navy scuba is a great option. Also the Hamilton X-wind too

[@RivadoValon]

Really wish the Tissot PRX powermatic 80 was available in black. Completely black (case, bracelet etc)

[@TheSpiikki]

I’ve got a sub 100€ Seiko 5. Automatic, clean as hell and goes with everything!

[@bigbarkingdog2010]

Great quick review of popular watches under $1,000

[@20fltrk]

I'll stay with Hamilton and Citizen thankyouverymuch

[@montebrodie4086]

Still wearing my 1967 Seiko Sea Horse.

[@Trip2Shiesty]

The prx 80 is my next pickup🔥🔥🔥 getting the black one since I already have a lot of other colorful watches I need my best one yet to be neutral so it can be my go to with any outfit

[@Dieselkraftwerk]

Great blokes and a cool video! Also Moog is shredded, i got sweaty just watching that workout 😮

[@stedshep]

Just purchased the Tissot PRS 516 with blue dial and it's great, enjoying the fit and the clasp is a great design.

[@itsmike3393]

Love that speedtimer

[@raunak2424]

All great picks

[@DearLeaderJoeDragiVoa]

SEIKO is the best :)

[@brad1542]

Seiko Alpinist😍

[@metaldetectingthenortheast1294]

For less than $1k happen to like vintage Longines, vintage Zodiac and the venerable Vostok Amphibia once I upgrade the bezel to a ceramic insert and change the band.

[@porscheoscar]

I like the Seiko Mojito. Have yet to see one in person,

[@georgevthomas7602]

I use the tissot prx looking forward to get the seiko 5

[@mariomnk9069]

Hamilton Khaki, Hamilton Panda, Bulova moon watch. You mentioned Seiko and Tissot only

[@user-kn6he6bm4m]

Gentleman has a paramagnetic hair spring,it's something you can't find in any other watch under 1000 dollars or 3-4k above.

[@anandkoshy1]

What is your opinion on Tissot Seastar 1000 powermatic 80

[@JMK15]

Love the power reserve mention. 👍🏻

[@18k_goldjewellery]

The watch is very beautiful, I really like it🎉

[@667hodge]

Plenty of good watches out there for that price

[@dacisan]

Seiko GOAT

[@SK-bk3yh]

Very nice selection

[@takenusername]

You had me at sapphire crystal This is a bare minimum feature I expect in a real watch

[@TheRSChippe]

Any thoughts about Certina? I have one with the same powermatic 80 movement as tissot

[@ed18]

The presage is 100m water resistant is it?

[@jayk1701]

What is the wrist size featured in the video?

[@gaminggames7306]

I love that "shark tooth" Alpinist Seiko , Green one is Classic and class! Can't go wrong with those. Still don't have either of those.... soon tho.❤ Jesus Christ bless you all ❤️

[@blackburnheart]

Great options! Could you make one about Zodiac divers?

[@johnny5.56]

You don't need the alpinist compass to find north with a watch

[@frankiethefrog1752]

I’ll take my $130 Citizen eco drive. The casual garrison with green strap.

[@Tom_H327]

I would definitely get a Speedtimer if it was a 42mm case. It's my preference that the watches I wear be absolutely no less than 42. If you saw my wrist, you'd agree 😂

[@soumyaranjanbiswal6863]

Titan is best ❤

[@shiningWiz4rd]

Are PRX and gentleman similar?

[@ProfessorCarlo]

What if I am hiking and I need to find south?

[@nikkimiddlekillsday5161]

I was expecting the Hamilton Khaki Field would be on the list

[@MinuteMon]

Hamilton has a great watches, but we no longer sell them in our store hence why they weren’t featured..

[@stedshep]

@@MinuteMon that is a shame just not a good selling point or no room to provide a selling space for them?

[@Gemini530]

I love my Galaxy watch 6. It has way more features

[@lavkuslavkus5962]

under 50 dollars please 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢

[@toomanyhats7141]

Timex and Casio have some decent watches around there; for example the Timex Weekender and Casio Duro can be found for under $50. You could cop one of those and/or save up a bit more ($100-200) for something like an Orient Bambino or a Seiko 5.

[@berkaytukel3321]

casio duro all the way. i have many watches and if i rated them i would put the duro beetween 100 to 200 dollar range

[@crazyfroggie6546]

if you had to be honest, how many customers actually ever use the chrono function on their watch? Seems like theres too many chrono watches out there

[@TheDenzel2012]

And the Certina DS action automatic!

[@uhrenpfleger6007]

Have you ever held a Tissot PRX in your hand? The wristband and case have extremely sharp edges. Nothing is deburred. There are better watches from Certina with a better automatic movement. No escapement components made of plastic. And at a similar price to Tissot. Like the DS-7 Powermatic C043.407.22.091.00. Costs €895 in Germany. Waterproof. Better quality of movement and much better workmanship. The PRX costs a little over €100 less than the Certina. But the quality is much better.

[@HFV_Junkyardin]

I like my Seiko GMT. Or orange ssk005

[@SimonLanglais]

And what about under 500$ Cad ?

[@colinfrederick9033]

Seiko presage gmt doesn’t have 100 meters water resistance unfortunately.

[@cannibalronny7314]

Have a Seiko monster and. Seiko Padi solar,the best combo ever

[@JA-uz7se]

Frank muller any good?

[@gokulrog8997]

Hi Brother how about Tissot Tonneau shape Heritage???

[@franssnel9069]

The new automatic from D1 Milano made the Tissot PRX obsolete for me 😅.

[@AhmetAtalayOfficial]

I’ll go for a microbrand. Lorier, or Baltic.

[@deepb249]

I only got 1 watch. Bought in 1981 it is a $12 Casio. I only change the batteries. Why do I need another watch? I use watch to tell time and nothing else.

[@akjayaganesh5637]

Bro i am from india how to buy

[@massimo79mmm]

the alpinist is beautiful

[@Plata-ori-plumbu]

Wait, don't quartz watches last 3 years before you have to change the battery? What's up with the Seiko Speedtimer???

[@Contredanse]

Solar powered, so the capacitor lasts months and not years since it's not a battery. But you can give it a nice bath in the sun for a few hours every other month to keep it running. I own the speed timer.

[@sergeyusik9934]

The PRX PM 80 movement is impossible to adjust... such a weird setup. Citizen has released similar models for under $500, even with titanium cases and bracelets.

[@Andy_UK]

G-SHOCK

[@deanvanlaarhoven1413]

Keeping time is also quite useful, which my Seiko 5 does not do.

[@a10c032]

I’ve watched a ton of watch videos. This is the best under 1k price point video!!

[@cesarmartinez7098]

I wish this guy mentioned micro brands theres a lot of great micro brands under 1000$!!

[@robscherer]

+1 for Hamilton

[@Sknapps92]

PRX👎 Gentleman 👍

[@yeahno5284]

Dont get the Tissot PRX powermatic 80. I love the Tissot PRX but the automatic movement has so many plastic components which basically makes servicing it more expensive than just buying an entire new movement. Just buy the Quartz, its cheaper looks better. And if you want an automatic one just spend like 200 more and get a MAEN manhattan 37, or a baltic

[@cosmoguarriellojr7822]

What about fossil for $125

[@galatians22122]

Don’t wast your time with any seikos or tissots for $600 buy three San Martin’s and never look back

[@bbjchanel7052]

my wish

[@chris555]

Alpinist ❤

[@Chow_69]

Or just get an Invicta Sea Hunter?

[@craig2Afreedom]

I’ve owned Timex, Gucci and Rolex. They all tell the same time. However only Rolex hold value!

[@pauloftsushima3580]

Are these the only brands you know? Christopher ward, farer, wise, brew have a lot of time pieces that are way in quality than seiko 5s. Should expand your horizon.

[@strongjaymusicgroup]

🔥

[@MrTergugah]

I must be an old dude.. I remember as a kid, that Seiko's were dirt cheap... Just a regular, robust work-a-day brand.. I guess times change & brands try to move up the pecking order.

[@lassealbrecht8244]

Not all seiko gmts have 10atm

[@MinuteMon]

My mistake - SSK009 has 5 bar, don’t swim with it 😂

[@Riot43014]

All major wins

[@Alessandro-hu4iy]

Were is the Turtle King?

[@KriptoTakipcisi]

I think Tissot Seastar is better than Seiko Divers.

[@polinagoldenberg9655]

Why would you be in a long distance relationship?

[@Ak-zf5rb]

Tissots look great but crack them open and the movements are mehh..

[@overman2306]

Gshock beats them all

[@bobbobek2098]

I'm pretty sure nobody buys watches in the middle range, people buy cheap reliable or expensive

[@Sovnarkom]

If you’re in a long distance relationship … let it go. She’s not worth the GMT complications.

[@GM-tw4el]

Or just buy a $120 g-shock change the battery every 10 years and wear it at all times.

[@midnightfun1277]

No citizen? Hamilton?

[@garethboyd8580]

Bambino???

[@carastag]

All homeruns
