By Request, My Entire Watch Collection

About two years ago, after many of my viewers asked for it, I shared a video with all of my watches. This year I have an update to the "State of the Collection" or "SOTC" video. As usual, this is meant as entertainment and general information. Perhaps, when you see my collection, you'll come up with some fun ideas of your own about the watches you would like to add to your own collection.
Granted, the vast majority of my watches are Casios and many of those are G-Shock watches. You'll see that many of my watches also feature "Tough Solar" technology to automatically charge the power source and "Wave Ceptor" or "Multiband 6" technology to keep them automatically synchronized with "Atomic Clock Time". If you wonder why I don't have a specific model of watch which is interesting to you, perhaps it's not a solar-powered watch or it's not an "atomic watch" or it has a negative LCD screen or it's just very expensive. As you can see, I tend to prefer a large collection of relatively inexpensive watches instead of a small collection of high-end and high-priced watches. But, of course, if you prefer the watches that I DON'T have in my collection that's fine. I hope you have a fun collection of the watches you want and that you have a few watches on your own "wish list" too, so you can continue to have some watches to look forward to someday;

Love the way every watch is synced to the second. 😍 Attention to details 😲

[@GoodTimekeeper]

Folks expect synchronization from me at this point.

[@roadgent7921]

If you ever see Greg's watches are not synced to the second, then it means there's been a nuclear war or Yellowstone Super Volcano has blown or something...

[@TonyThompson1981]

Excellent collection video. I much prefer a fun affordable watch then a ridiculously overpriced watch. I currently have a collection of 12 watches. All Casio. Five digital, 6 analog, and one ani-digi fishing timer that might be the funniest watch I've ever found. I just think collections like this have more personality than collections with just a few beautiful mechanical watches.

[@damyr]

If you're not sure, try to buy and wear a mechanical watch for some time. Then you'll start to love your Casio collection even more. I've had few mechanical watches in the past, and I was so frustrated with them. Now I know I'd rather wear a $10 F-91W than a $10k Rolex.

[@litan114]

why dont you say you are poor? & cannot luxury watches

[@TonyThompson1981]

@@litan114 Ya, sure. I'm a home owner that works 60 hours a week and makes good money, but I'm poor for not forking over thousands for a single watch.

[@damyr]

@@litan114 Your point is awfully wrong. Luxury watches are for drooling idiots who like shiny things, and don't know anything about watches.

[@TheGrenadier97]

The problem isn't "a few beautiful mechanical watches", but thinking that this is the sole way to go in terms of watch collection. Lots of luxury watch owners have this ridiculous snobbish bias - and everyone knows that their watches are oftentimes safe queens, literally. Collections are very personal and determined by that phrase, "to each his own". I once read about a guy who had over 300 G-Shocks, and i absolutelly bet that he would never have the same level of satisfaction if he sold them all for a pair of overpriced "superior" Rolex instead.

[@colinharvey4881]

I love swapping the watchbands.. I have 10 various colour Casio WVA-M630's watches and have a collection of Barton "quick release" canvas watchbands in 12 nice colours. Every day I pick a different colour watchface and watchband to suit my mood and match my shirt ! Love my Casios.

[@c.s2001]

I think I’m turning into you. I must be part of your Cosmic family. 30 watches and 40 watch bands.

[@EsoRimerCz]

That analog watch with digital at the background (width DATA BANK at top) in the first box in top right corner looks amazing!

[@DBW211]

Wow you should change your channel name to 'The Grand Timekeeper', very accurate time-keeping. Great collection, Enjoy man!

[@GoodTimekeeper]

When I was very young I enjoyed the idea of finding out the exact, correct time and I made some great efforts to keep clocks and watches synchronized even when I didn’t have very many. The late 1990s were a breakthrough when radio controlled clocks became affordable and more widely available. I still have a whole bunch of clocks… although I might have finally acquired more watches than clocks… maybe.

[@zosothezephead837]

I just can't help liking you Greg, you're great and really funny!

[@GoodTimekeeper]

Thank you. I try to be likeable and funny. I guess it’s working.

Never have I met a casio enthusiast or watch enthusiast like you. Nice man.

[@GoodTimekeeper]

Thank you.

[@davidcrandall4958]

Greg that is a great collection! It's so refreshing to see someone that collects for his own enjoyment and does not seem motivated by status! I particularly. Liked the first box! I too collect watches that are from or remind me of special occasions! I don't feel guilty about my collection which consists of about half of much as yours,about 30 of them Casios spanning several Decades anymore! I really envy your Nasa watch! I Couldnt sleep and I found this site! I Feel better now! It was Very enjoyable!

[@GoodTimekeeper]

I wasn’t sure I “needed” the NASA watch but I knew that if I waited even a few days I would never get it for that price. Now I’m glad I have it… but I usually don’t like the idea of making things “limited edition” because I usually like to think about my purchases for a while before making up my mind. Usually.

[@seeker7679]

Good man! Now I feel much better about my ridiculously large collection!

[@GoodTimekeeper]

I want everyone to feel good about their collections! Keep up the good, clean fun.

[@damyr]

I could never own such collection. I'd be overwhelmed every time when deciding what to wear. 😅

[@sylvainster30]

Not quite done watching but wow 🤩 thats one great collection! Congrats on the great channel ✌🏼😎👍🏼

[@pinikpikantv3555]

Seiko invented quartz and was remastered by Casio. Automatic Watch goes to Seiko. Quarts department to Casio. Best consumer/enthusiasts watches no doubt. Seiko creates Speing drive and gave their NH3* to microbrands for us to have options. I hope I reach the time common people affords the Spring Drive in the far future. Seiko 5 and G shock are coming with LE and SE that most people enjoy that is what is important for me. Watch snob can suck while watching your collections. Great job.

[@pauljosephbuggle3722]

I love the full reviews and as Mohammed Ali said, "It's not bragging is you can back it up". I'm wearing my midnight green square which I bought after your review. It was nice to see you give it some special praise. All my G-Shocks are solar and radio controlled but I did just buy the Casio Royale to see what all the fuss is about. It wears well.

[@thumperjdm]

"Hi Greg. We're running low on watches. Can we buy some from you, to re-stock our inventory?" -Amazon 😂

[@GoodTimekeeper]

I don’t sell watches.

[@John-P]

Fantastic collection Greg. I've got 18 watches of which 13 are Casio's, I was going to say there is one Casio I have, which you don't, then right at the end you said it's on the way, I've had this SL G-Shock for about a month my first bluetooth model and it's fantastic....stay safe

[@sinjinadams2862]

WOW! And I thought I had a problem! Nice collection! I don't even own a Casio. My obsession is with dive watches, although I'm now collecting chronographs. This is a fun hobby though isn't it.

[@GoodTimekeeper]

Yes, it’s fun. And I fully endorse collecting what’s attractive to your taste. Keep up the good, clean fun.

Loved the flyby of your collection! Not a second wasted. Loved the variations of different colours, loved duplicates for backup just in case, loved arrangement based on style, love the chronological lineup at the start, and loved the line "I'm not rich"! Thanks for sharing! PS - No Casioaks?

[@GoodTimekeeper]

I have two Casioaks now. Looks like I need to do another follow-up video.

[@crBudgetWatches]

I am a budget watch collector but of different brands mostly automatics but now I am up to 50% quartz now I have 4 Casios. I tell my wife that Casios are off the record and should not count for my overall "limit". So I could end up with 145 more casios!

How do you keep up with servicing with all of them? List or just wait? Nice collection!!

[@GoodTimekeeper]

So far so good. Lots of these watches don’t need batteries (or, at least, won’t need batteries for many, many years) and the automatic “atomic time” updates are good for keeping things maintenance-free for now. I do have a list to track how often I change batteries on the non-solar stuff.

Where do you get your watch cases from? Love your reviews. Definitely bought several Casios due to your reviews.

[@jonathanlau6964]

Wow... okay. That is impressive and your passion is undeniable and genuine. Don't think anyone can question that. I do have 2 questions though out of my own curiosity. 1) Assuming you had to really dress up and rock a tuxedo or your fanciest suit... what do you put on? And I guess along those lines 2) How on earth do you decide what to wear? I think I have about 40 watches and I struggle most days to pick what to wear on a regular work day. Congratulations brother! Keep enjoying the journey!

[@GoodTimekeeper]

I think the Oceanus watches are good to use when I’m dressing up. Also the analog Wave Ceptors with metal bracelets. I like that Edifice watch which reminds me of my father’s old Seiko from when I was very young. I’ll have to try the all-metal G-Shock square the next time I dress up and see how that goes. I have two go-to watches I normally wear when I work at my “day job”. They are a 16-year-old MTG900 which looks pretty beat up now AND a Gravity Master GR-B100 which looks okay after 3 years of heavy usage. The other watches… well, I just look at them and decide which one just looks the most lonely.

[@jonathanlau6964]

@@GoodTimekeeper thanks for responding. I love mechanical watches too much to follow in your footsteps, but I just love your passion. Collecting is collecting, whether it is crazy mechanical watches, every single Casio on the planet or even Faberge Eggs. Follow your nose... it always knows (sorry...

[@webblewobblemonkey7452]

great video great to see a channel for us that can not afford rolex prices loved the video

[@spacemanschannel6380]

I had a Seiko automatic watch for years, but it became so unreliable that I stopped using it. Then I used my phone as a watch like everybody did. Now I have a Casio with Tough Solar and Multiband 6, and I could not be happier. It is the same colour as my old Seiko, but it is super reliable and free from maintenance.

[@GoodTimekeeper]

Thank you for your kind comment. Watch snobbery just doesn’t make any sense to me. Why, just the other day I actually bought an Armitron watch on clearance at Walmart. (It’s true, and I imagine every word of that sentence would drive a watch snob crazy.) That reminds me… I need to make another video.

I knew folks would notice if I neglected to keep the watches synchronized. So I had to do it. Of course, most of them were already set, thanks to that Wave Ceptor/Multiband 6 stuff I keep talking about. Whew!

151… what about the one you were wearing?

[@vinnividetti]

Curious that they do not have any Casio of the F series like the F-91w F-84, W59, really cheap watches, and I think it could be because in the USA it is just as cheap to buy a G-Shock as in Europe a watch from the F. series and it may be because of the competition in your country with Timex. Here in Europe Timex sells little and is not a competitor for Casio.

[@GoodTimekeeper]

I tend to pay closer attention to the solar/atomic models.

[@superwombat42]

I'm curious what Mr. Anderson does for a career, and if it had any influence on his horology hobby. What and when was the tipping point where you decided "I'm a collector now" Thanks for showing us your stash :)

[@GoodTimekeeper]

Five years ago I had 12 watches. I found a cheap-but-good Casio Wave Ceptor at a Sears store which was going out of business. Then I thought, “I wonder what other interesting watches Casio has been producing during the last few years when I wasn’t paying attention.” It turned out they had made a whole bunch of watches which were interesting to me, including those Solar/Atomic watches which always get my attention. It helped that, during the next couple of years, eBay was offering discount coupons every few weeks AND my KZbin channel started to take off so that’s the tipping point. I already had dozens of clocks and not a lot of space to put more clocks. But more watches don’t take up a lot of space.

[@GoodTimekeeper]

I have done a lot of work in live radio and TV so it’s important to have synchronized time on my watches. But, even before that, I have always wanted my clocks and watches to be as accurate as possible. I discovered the WWV shortwave broadcasts 40 years ago! I worked at a movie theatre in high school and another one in college. Eventually I ran the projectors and I started those movies on time, often right down to the second.

I have 12 watches, which is probably 11 too many as most I never get to wear, but they're fun things to have irrespective of anything else.

Greg, I have a waveceptor 4713 and I can't for the life of me figure out how to set the watch for DST for the eastern time zone. It seems that the offset from UTC that I need gets skipped in the menu. Currently the analog time is correct but the digital time is one hour behind. I run into this problem everytime we go on or off DST. I have read the manual and have tried everything I could think of to set the watch correctly. Would you please point me in the right direction.
