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

A few years ago I made a video about how G-Shock was the last best hope for an increasingly doomed watch industry, against the ever growing Apple smart watch evil empire. However, there's a new leader of the pack, and in this video I explore how Bulova has gone from strength to strength, offering better value than the Swiss and other Japanese options at this entry level price. Join me for a review of the Bulova Super Seville including its positives and negatives, as it goes head to head with the ubiquitous Apple watch and one of the best G-Shock watches on the market, and find out why together, the Super Seville and G-Shock GBD200-1 hold the key to saving the entire watch industry. What do you think about the watches in this video? What will happen in the future with smart watches? And how would you like to see the traditional watch industry tackle the troubling ascendancy of the Apple watch? Please share in the comments.

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!

[@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.

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.

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.

[@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.

[@matthewsanders6499]

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.

[@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.

[@simon_jakobsson]

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!

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 ❤️

[@anthonylake7581]

When I was 5, my grandfather told me, 'a man must have a good watch'. This is true. Were he alive today, and saw a smart watch, he'd simply say, 'that's not a watch, and no man who had any respect for himself would wear one'. I wear my Seiko from him, great Seiko man that he was!

[@romantum]

😂 sorry, this sounds funny. Men were wearing wrist watches just for about 100 years.. I think on a global timescale it hasn't yet earned a "manliness standard". Besides, a man should were whatever the f he wants.

[@anthonylake7581]

@@romantum I was five in 1970, so my grandfather said this a long time ago now. I don't think I would make a mechanical watch versus a smart watch comparison a measure of masculinity now, if I were advising my grandson (if I had one) what kind of watch to wear. However, I think I might be more impressed by a young person who chose a mechanical watch over a smart watch, because I am a watch enthusiast, and because it would speak to me of a young person who valued the long-lasting, something that they would keep for years, over the transient and disposable. I don't have a smart watch. They don't interest me. I have a smart phone. It is useful, and that is all. I have a number of mechanical watches. They are less useful, but they inspire emotions in me that my smart phone does not and, I think, could not.

[@USMCPFC1]

Respect to your grandfather. That being said, I don't think any of us qualify to speak for the dead. People change, people grow, people learn. If a tool can save a man's life would your grandfather not respect that? Perhaps even been fascinated by it. A watch tells time, measures time, functions as jewelry. A smartwatch is so much more than that. You could use it in the absence of phone to talk to someone, would your grandfather not see that as a potentially useful tool? Perhaps even cool? It can be used as a compass, it can send out an emergency SOS signal. It can save your life. Would your grandfather dismiss all the utilities and potential life-saving abilities of smart watch. Would he dislike a watch that could do more than just track time and functions as jewelry? An obese man with numerous health problems related to weight but has a traditional watch does not have more respect for himself than someone who works out, eats right, and takes pride in their looks and has a smart watch that is able to assist them with their work out, provide compass while hiking, provide reminders about birthdays and doctor visits, allows them to have communication if they loose their phones, send out an SOS signal if they get caught in a storm while climbing a mountain.

[@tdrawley]

My Granmother said the same to me and my brother and gave us both very expensive tissots. Unfortunately I leant mine to a mate whilst we were in North Africa and he told me that it had been stolen when him and others got back from a few days away. I put a big dead parrot fish into his bergen. After a day or so in 40 degrees centigrade or more temperatures the bergen began to utterly ming. lol. He had a cloud of flies swarming around him everywhere we went even after he had found the culprit and disposed of it. I spent weeks thinking he would put a spider in my gear somewhere but I think he felt so guilty about having lost my ‘heirloom’, (Or at least it might have become one if I still had it) that he left it be.

[@romantum]

@@anthonylake7581 Alright, those are personal opinions and tastes, and I think it's good that differences exist - otherwise life would be boring. I am not strictly in the smartwatch or mechanical watch camp either. You should wear whatever brings positive emotions to you. These days, I am quite busy, and my smartwatch brings me lots of joy because it has many small tools I can use, like taking quick audio notes, setting alarms, or calling someone right from my wrist. But joy can have different forms, and I totally see why someone would wear a mechanical watch.

[@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]

[@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.

I'd add citizen to the list too. I've got Tudor, Tissot, omega but my G-Shock and eco drive get the most wrist time by far.

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.

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.

Keep it up! Btw the shades are marvelous 😎👌 what brand are they mate

[@speedracer2please]

I hadn't thought about it, but the closest friend I have to a fellow watch nerd wears a Bulova, and I'm thinking of getting him a G-shock because he thinks his job is too rough to wear a watch at work. And my only watch that any other friend has shown an interest in is my Bulova Hack, when I explained its history, and that it never needs a battery or charge lol. You're really onto something here.

[@johnd-xd9sn]

TGV, the old "Flemmy" on that strap is killer! Love it. Def agree on the G shock thoughts. Its rugged enough for anything and costs very little for so much technical capacity. Plus its accurate without software. O&U

SAN MARTIN! Might be Time to do a deep dive into some the Chinese Brands that have Stepped their game up!

[@davisantos3431]

It's really weird how many watch KZbinrs seem to completely ignore Chinese brands. The idea was that Chinese watches are all rip offs, but even if that was true, that piece of junk Invicta Pro Diver still gets recommended to this day, and it's embarrassing compared to what you can get these days.

[@MisterKnightly]

TGV avoids fake watches, which is what San Martin produces, regardless of whatever branching out they are attempting.

[@galatians22122]

@@MisterKnightlyI have Owned 3 Rolexes I now have 2 Omegas a Grand Seiko multiple Seikos and Hamiltons plus more. Just picked up a San Martin for $140 and I can tell it’s real it’s a real watch trust me. It’s a $500 Seiko or an $700 Hamilton for $140!!!!

[@MichaelWillems]

Bulova is indeed badly underrated by most.

[@johnvandeven2188]

This is true but they are now owned by Citizen and I am hoping that their influence will generate more designs and sales. The 262 khz movement is made by their Miyota division and I am hoping it will see it's inclusion into Citizen branded watches too.

[@lazyshinobi2861]

i have to agree but personally thats fine w me bc i keep finding deep discounts on beauties :)

[@1250GSX]

@@johnvandeven2188 Citizen have owned them for 16 years now to be fair....

[@GunGuy258]

I love Bulova.

[@troyorem]

Dude the combination of the movement from precisionist and eco-drive? Amazing.

[@roodersclive8654]

I bought a Bulova devil diver about a year back and I love it (I know some people knock the movement but..) and I own quite a few G-Shocks (mostly squares) which I also love.

[@lilrowbear]

I love the TV shape making a come back. This Bulova, the Mido TV Big Date, and even the microbrand Trafford Crossroads are all fantastic options to get that appealing design at a low price.

[@yrch21]

Love my GBD200 as well!
