How Bulova & G-Shock Are Becoming The Best Watches From $150 to $700: GBD200-1 & Super Seville 38mm

[@HaonProductions]

If Bulova just put that Precisionist movement into something as versatile as an Explorer, I wouldn't need anything else. This is a good step in the right direction!

[@theurbangentry]

YESSSsSSSSSSSSSSS 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 You are a genius, I love that idea. At least 100m resistance too. Thank you, Best regards, TGV

[@richardshaw1968]

So what about the Longines VHP gmt or std or if you like chronograph. Although sadly discontined is far higher performing than the bulova’s movement. They also take a pragmatic approach to WR. The Casio is a belter.

[@HaonProductions]

@richardshaw1968 actually been eyeing one of those but keep hesitating when they come available!

Casio W59... my detox watch. I sold everything, taking a break. Casio is giving me rest, no hype, no investment, no stressing or regrets, and no over thinking. Putting it on gives me a feeling of ease... something Omega, IWC and others didn't give me Casio is a hero watch

[@jorgecap3898]

Amen brother... Casio does what it needs to do. Basic watches that are reliable, understated and with somehow an urban citizen image. Excellent tool watches, and great for a minimal, no fuss everyday person.

An overwhelming number of those smart watches are being worn by people who wouldn't have even worn a digital watch let alone a quartz analogue and most likely had absolutely no idea mechanical and automatic pieces even existed anymore.

[@theurbangentry]

Excellent point, I wonder what the conversion to traditional watches is? Thank you Sean, great comment. Best regards, TGV

[@davisantos3431]

Do you have a stat to back that up? Because if it's anecdotal, it can go both ways. I went from wearing a traditional watch 100% of the time to maybe 10%. Smartwatches are becoming more and more ubiquitous even in professional settings.

[@oskarsvavner8859]

[@bobbressi5414]

I have no desire to own a smartwatch. I am connected enough with my cell phone. I love traditional time pieces. I love watches, be they automatic, quartz, or solar. But to me, a smartwatch is a wrist phone. It is not something that fills any kind of need in my life. Moreover, they demonstrate no artistic diversity or craftsmanship. In short, they bore me.

[@Soloseas]

@@theurbangentryI can tell you what brought me into it a few years ago. Bought the new Apple Watch Ultra for $900 and thought that was a ridiculous amount to spend on a watch. Was talking to a friend and he brought up how that Ultra would be old news in a few years with subsequent iterations. Got me thinking on the timelessness of mechanical watches that are cared for.

[@jamiehull7238]

Love both G-Shock and Bulova! Smart watches are disposable soulless extensions of an equally disposable phone! I have acquired several G-shocks over the years starting with my G-lide 11 years ago. My Bulova was inherited from my late father , it was the last watch he ever wore- priceless to me ❤️

[@dougstump2520]

I'm impressed with what I've seen with the precisionist movement, and the Jetstar in gold is next on my list. I was able to try one on in person and really blown away. I think for those who cannot afford the $1500 and up automatic watch, the precisionist movement gives us a reliable, precise, lower cost option that won't need pricy servicing.

[@69texaseyes]

Timex has been overlooked for a while and that’s understandable. This last year though they really have stepped up. from $100-$1000., you can get some nice watches.

[@DadeMurphie]

I picked up a couple limited edition M79s. They look great. It's the first time I've ever been worried about scratching up a Timex.

[@theoriginalaceofspades7829]

I started collecting around 2008. As my watchbox has consolidated and individual pieces have grown much more expensive, what hasn't changed is the cheap G-Shock 5610 that I use to set my other watches, to accompany me to the gym, and to wear whenever the neighborhood feels sketchy. It is a true tool. In all honesty, it's the only watch I've ever owned that isn't a piece of jewelry.

[@Nudel-nc1cp]

Same for me with my gw5610u but I do not collect watches. I wear them with joy. Cheers.

[@mattybrews]

I want SO BADLY to love Bulova. I've had about 6, and they never seem to last in my collection. Some of them have died due to failed water resistance, some of them just bored me and got sold, and a few were genuine lookers but didn't exactly match my sensibility. I think they're really *close* to shedding that "mall watch" status, and they've improved tremendously. Still, the MSRPs are high-larious if you consider the value proposition they are offering versus the competition. Asking $400+ for a "military field watch" that has 30m water resistance and a Miyota 8 series movement? Yiikesss. There's a sucker born every minute, and they go to the mall all the time IYKWIM.

[@azdbuk]

Ill never need access to emails and txts through a watch...ever. Congrats on the return to NY.

[@theurbangentry]

👏👏👏👏 Hear hear!!! Best regards, TGV

[@USMCPFC1]

It's not about "needing acess". There's a lot of things we don't need but it's nice to have access to. A smart watch can literally save your life. It can also alert you to a medical condition you're not yet aware of. It call also automatically call emergency services after an accident. A smart watch offers so much more than telling time and viewing and text.

[@azdbuk]

@@USMCPFC1 Ok, Ill amend that, "Ill never need access to emails, txts, and health monitoring through a watch. Ever. "

[@diskobean]

​@@USMCPFC1i get your point totally and I do agree with you. But I'll still never own one, unless G-Shock releases one. I liked the hybrid Citizen smartwatches, but I still can't get into them. But I'm someone who basically abandoned ALL social media AND I don't use my phone very much, so that would be like sticking a small phone on my wrist. I'm just glad to see anyone wearing a watch to be 100% honest. The people who say "i can just check my phone" drive me bonkers personally 🤣 My dad gets a new FitBit every couple of years and I've been pushing him to get one of the new G-Shock's that got released in April (don't remember the model number, but it tracks steps and stuff), and it'd be the last watch he EVER needs (he's 77). What i don't get about tracking steps for older people is, what happens when you don't meet your daily goal? NOTHING. And if you've owned one for awhile, you already know about how many steps you do daily. So why keep tracking them at all? It's not like my dad is going to leave the house at 11pm to go walk the neighborhood just because he didn't meet his daily step goal 😂✌️

[@OscarOSullivan]

Especially when Garmins are the better work out watches. Also what is wrong with counting your pulse manually, recognising the signs of a heart attack, stroke, high blood pressure etc.

Wearing the GBD200 as I watch this. Out of all my watches, it is by far the one I have worn most. It weighs nothing, is comfortable, very legible, does not require charging, and gives me all the activity data I want from a sports watch. They really knocked it out of the park with this one. It's not the classiest watch, but I have others if I need to suit up. Great video as always, I hope you're enjoying the move to NY!

[@TimothyW8]

I believe that quartz watches will ironically be the only hope for the industry to compete. Modern cheap mechanical watches are more fussy to deal with for the average person. They run out of power in 2 days, they are less accurate, more fragile, more expensive to service, and ultimately just as disposable as quartz if not more, as the movements are often simply discarded and fully replaced. Quartz watches are the least fussy and most accurate, and with solar and atomic/radio options they are even more useful. If big brands produce better and more quartz options, more people will want to buy them. The affordable mechanical fad needs to fade a little and let quartz take over. Imagine how awesome a Prospex solar quartz SKX or Turtle would be.

[@merc7paul]

[@gusdx3654]

[@05Rudey]

All it takes is a hand me down to kindle the love for watches, I had watches as a kid, mostly cheap digital Casio's but there was that day I was dressing for a job interview, a part timer while I was at college at this time my Granddad was staying with us for a while, as I was adjusting my tie he spotted my grotty old Casio "You are not wearing that are you?" I hadn't worn a watch in about a year and it was all I had. He promptly went to his room and came out with a very shiny Gold Tissot Seastar Seven that he had had since the late 60s. It felt like the cherry on the cake from feeling average to a million bucks. It even became a talking point during the interview. I often wondered if my first impression would have been damaged, if I wore that old, dirty, cracked screen Casio (F-87w I think) with the strap a few moments away from ripping that I had for about 10 years.

[@alvinmick218]

What an awesome video! I think you’re spot on with Bulova and G-Shock making an excellent two watch collection. Here’s hoping that Bulova is listening with regard to the water resistance and the bracelet upgrades you mentioned. Their Precisionist movement is fascinating and I hope they will continue to add it to more of their offerings. G-Shock has always been a solid choice and I like the model you featured. It’s great to see you’re back in NYC and I must say this video definitely feels like the videos of years ago. I love it! I think the Rolex Explorer should remain in your collection. It’s just so versatile and with the strap choices you’ve paired with it through the years, it continues to look amazing and suitable to whatever daily missions you assign it. It’s always a pleasure to view one of your videos. Thank you for all the effort you put into making them. I have grown so much in my watch collecting journey by watching them. Ever appreciative! 🥃

I've got a Bulova jetstar with the same high frequency quartz movement, and I'm so impressed with it. 8 months-in from acquisition and setting the time, it's currently just 1 second out. At its worst, it was 3 seconds out for a short while. Better than a Grand Seiko quartz movement, for a 10th of the price? Plus it has that spring drive-esque sweeping seconds hand, unlike the GS quartz movements.

[@subeijekalo5884]

I love my G Shock Solar Atomic time. My first one lasted 20 years; it actually still works but the case is cracked, kayaking race accident. Which is why I don’t wear my Seamaster 300 Diver unless I’m ocean kayaking. The watch that lives on my wrist is my Speedmaster 3861.

[@Spongefov]

I feel like Bulova are inching ever closer to a perfect everyday watch - that 262kHz movement is their unique selling point, and refining one of their heritage designs with that movement would eat up some of the affordable competition - the new marine star is close, this new super seville as well, just the proportions are ever so slightly off. Once they make a smaller lunar pilot that fits a majority of wrists, they will have a hero piece to anchor future successes from, at least from watch enthusiasts getting the ball rolling. Having said that I'm happy with their miyota powered watches, when they look as nice as the oceanographer, they just need to use more finishing on their steel as all polished tends to look cheaper (at least to my eye). Definitely making improvements on the mall watches they'd been selling - happy you keep us abreast of each new release from them!

Also 30 m is a huge 'red flag' for me unless it's a $20-30 retro Casio, 50 m is where it should start in 2024 for any watch, I'm sure is isn't hard to offer that WR level in a standard sized 39-40 mm case.

I was slowly disabling all the functions until I realized that I don't need a smartwatch anymore. Casio and citizen are my favorite brands. But casio is starting to follow this connected watch trend, via Bluetooth. You even have to charge your watch with a cable. But to be sure this year I bought the GW 9500 mudman and the GW-5000U square g-shock. I also have the citizen promaster skyhawk blue angels edition. I don't need smartwatches anymore.

I got a red jetstar on a black leather/ red rubber strap and it’s brilliant

I wear my cheap retro Casio watches like socks. You rotate a different pair every time. It's part of fashion and it's really fun. All smart watches do is delete that fun and make friends check useless work emails from their wrist while out at dinner with you.

Brilliant content as always. John. Oh, love the walking in new york.

I absolutely love how Bulova is putting out amazing retro designs, but keeps the price down, yet keeps it interesting, by putting the Precionist movement inside. I think the Precionist should be their hallmark movement! I was so used to Bulova only using the Precionist in the ugliest watches ever, but these new ones are fantastic.

I love watches. I have probably 15 between seiko, Casio and omega but my daily driver for most of the year is my Garmin. At least half the year I am preparing for a marathon and I just enjoy the fact that it goes 20 days on about an hours charge and it generally tells me how to train. Granted I go out to dinner I throw on a real watch but I think there is a difference between the Apple watch that is truly a phone and needs daily charging and my Garmin that I can throw on the charger for an hour and not worry about it for a month. A lot of people say watches are tools and not jewelry but in this case I consider my Garmin a genuine tool to help me achieve an annual goal which allows me to fundraise for a charity I truly care about.

Great to see you back on the block in the N-Y-C. That Gshock is something else and a step in the right direction. As for Bulova, hoping they release their "Royal Oak" model from back in the day and that a mysterious journal turns up for auction from Genta's storage unit. "Pitched my new watch idea to Bulova today they said they'll think about it. Oh well, guess I'll go to AP tomorrow and see what they think."

I refurbished a 1977 Super Seville from the ground up a few years back and is still in my collection today. I also own a Mil Ships and an Oceanographer GMT Devil Diver in blue. I was so excited when I saw the new Super Seville on the Canadian Website. However I am disappointed they did not have a day and date complication like the original and 30 meters of water resistance is making me take a pause. However that sweet 262mhz sweeping hand is just brilliant.

I ordered in a Lunar Pilot last week and am very happy with it. That movement is neat and is the first quartz I’ve bought in many years.

One of my favorite videos of yours, ever. I have NEVER worn a smartwatch and NEVER will. But i just turned 44, and have had a massive watch collection since I was 5 (1985) and watch Data in The Goonies 😂 But I'm really curious what the younger generations think? 🤔

[@allanhelmick3933]

Bulova has been killin it lately!

[@philipschwartz8989]

Whoa whoa whoa! Great video, BUT, why no more discussion of that super Seville “one of a kind”DAY DATE????? That watch is off the charts! Who built it, and more importantly, how and where do I get one. You are the David Niven of the next generation! Keep up the great work and great videos! Please, please more info on that Super Seville Day Date, !!!!

I have 2 Precisionists. My wife has a gorgeous Ceramic Marinestar. I also have an open heat Bulova and an open heart Marinestar. I absolutely love my Bulovas.

[@amita1400]

Love your commentary and monologue quality

[@cossack814]

What sunglasses are you wearing @ 2:15 TGV?! Please let me know so I can buy them.

[@JellyFlavoredGerman]

Your whole vibe reminds me of John Galliano, from your voice to your exceedingly fine taste. Great content, sir.

[@chris555]

I absolutely love the Super Seville & I'd like the next Bulova to be as close to the originals as possible. I think parents & the watch community have a duty to pass the hobby down to future generations!
