I encourage everyone to get their hands on pieces before purchasing. Filming in pro-res, amazing color correcting and other video editing tools make products look much better than in reality.

@@mistadopeman my main problem with pieces under $200 is material quality. And it's quite impossible to get an accurate perception of it from the video (I mostly mean stainless steel). So in my mind resin-plastic G-Shock is always a better option for this price range.

@@ВалентинЗубков-ч2й I agree. They use special effects that don’t reflect the product accurately. But yeah, G-Shock is G-Shock. Us watch nerds pick up on the most minute details.

Excellent presentation. 1. I purchased the Betucci DX3 a few weeks ago for under $90 delivered. Field watch had to be analog, 40 mm or under, quartz. Protected crown. 2. I purchased the Bulova corporate in December 2023 for under $80 delivered. Analog, 40 mm or under, quartz. Nearly minimalist. Office watch. My criteria are not going to be yours. An older friend is single, no children, professional and licensed parachute rigger. Spends the winter as a ski rescue person. He displayed a $370 Seiko field watch that I would have wanted 45 years ago when I was in Afghanistan.

Russia's Vostok diver and field watches are quite good, even if the political signaling will now probably outweigh the style. China's "Shanghai" 17 jewel watches are still handmade all in-house and only cost $30. The reissues are beautiful. For a Chinese person though, $30 is worth ¥150, and 150 yuan buys in China what $150 buys in America.
