Richard and I have been friends for a while now. He hasn't changed much in the time that I have known him, but he was a good guy in the first place.
The addition of a date makes a very handsome desk diver even more practical as an everyday piece. This watch doesn't excel in any area, but it has no obvious flaws either. But again I ask, what is your favourite $300USD everyday watch and what do you think of my possibilities? Cheers, JOMW

My favorite everyday watch is seiko sgg731p1. They cost about 150$. Light titanium watch with sapphire crystal and good water resistant is what I was looking for. And of course it's quartz watch for that price. I would appreciate if you do review for this model.

Jody, the Richard LeGrand looks amazing, very classy. But is it tough? I find myself always putting on my Orient Ray 2 Black PVD, looks the goods, goes well on multiple NATO's and beats the skx (sorry but it does) for features; it hacks, it handwinds. Insanely accurate too at about +4 P/day. I do fancy the RLG with the GMT bezel as a more dressy piece. Thanks again for another great vid, your advice is appreciated and your channel certainly a favourite.

@P_Ezi 5 жыл бұрын
Phil Crowe Agreed. I would add another detail: The Ray (or Mako) also beat SKX for everyday use because of the lower profile sloped bezel. Although not as easy to grip due to the low profile, they are nicer looking and more functional with a dress shirt than SKX. I believe the Orients are more adaptable to more situations.

Seikos have a cool esthetic for sure. Many of them. I won't be buying them until they start using Sapphire and put a hackable movement into their 200-300 dollars range watches. Way too little band for buck beyond the base 75 dollar models. It's really ridiculous, IMO.

Great video, thanks. My favourite sub $300 watch (was £250) has got to be my Heimdallr custom made Vintage Mechanical Diver, a 6105 8110 homage which towers over every other 6105 8110 (including Seiko's and their Prospex re-issue) very traditional look without overdone blue AR coating or shiny ceramic bezel insert, opting instead for aluminium bezel insert and a domed sapphire crystal, the case finishing is of a much higher standard and it has a Swiss ETA 2824-2. Beautiful handset and applied logo & hour markers, the light play is exceptional on this piece. Gets more positive comments than any of my other watches. The RL bears a passing resemblence to Steeldive's SD1952, the handset is in same style, dial is similar too.

I have the 12-hour bezel model and actually really like the framing effect of the black bezel around the blue dial. That bezel style is generally underrated, too, I think. It can obviously be used as a poor man’s GMT, but it is also useful as a timer if you happen to need to keep track of hours rather than minutes. I’ve been sick for the past week and using it to track my medication. Turn the arrow to the hour hand whenever I take a dose and then when the hour hand hits 5 I know it’s time for another dose.

Best diver at the $300 price point. Only reason I sold mine was the fact I'm transitioning my collection to 40mm and under peices... And with that, my purchase of the 38mm Christopher Ward Trident C60 Pro 600, replaced the Odyssea's spot in my watch box. Great video, review, and a great watch. Edit: the one down side of the date version is the lack of a frame for the date window.

And if I'm thinking about desk diving I'll buy an orient Mako/Ray or maybe the new models, the one with the tudor blackbay flavor 🤔. The mido ocean star is another very interesting option if you want a swiss made diver with a power reserve up to 70 hrs. That is, speaking of the options you've got in Mexico of course.

It's easy to see how these check a lot of "every day carry" boxes very easily. Clean, I think elegant applies here, wearing exceptionally well on my wrist.

My best everyday watch is a submariner homage bought 11 years ago on ebay then shipped from London for $270. Sporting a Swiss ETA 2836-2 and a huge working date magnifier. The bracelet has screws not pins and a divers extension. There are no markings anywhere on the watch and the seller, exclusive watches is no longer on Ebay. Perhaps it was just tinkered together by a watchmaker and I was just lucky. Of course it doesn't have the exclusive trip lock crown or the lume of the real sub, but it's really really good. Over the past 11 years timekeeping has been fantastic and is just now running a little slow.

$300 is a very arbitrary number and for that money it's almost like you don't give a shit in which case here - have a TW Steel. Oh, you're more fancy than that? Here's your Skagen. If it's an everyday watch for all situations and you will only own one watch, I would say get $600AUD into your pocket first and many more options open up, including more microbrand divers, the Seiko Presage line, Hamilton, Tissot and watches with ETA movements, if that's your cup of Camellia Sinensis.

Cheating a bit, Hamilton Khaki King bought in a sale for £350 and it has just turned into my everyday watch looks great, very comfortable, day and date, very accurate. Really easy to read at a glance, just about perfect.

My Seiko Sumo black dail, bought it brand new for $300, my daily driver now. Wish the clasp didn't scratch so easy on it but modded the band with a strapcode president bracelet with the seiko clasp.

If not other issues, 3 hand might consider geckota e-01 at 37mm or for a chronograph the Dan henry 1964 racing Chrono at 38mm in this price bracket, for a versatile everyday piece

I see you made a nishe out of promoting brands no one has never heard of. Do you get paid or free watches from these brands like zelos or Richard legrand? In my own opinion these watches has no history or proven quality. Just because you stick a ETA movement in a watch don’t make it a great watch. Who knows if Richard legrand is still in the business 5 years from now..

I would have liked a little more design in the hands, even simple , something with a slight taper like Rolex stick hands. They’ve made the effort on the second hand(ie:Alpinist). Don’t stop there.

I couldn't have watch with "Big Dick" emblazoned across the dial and be able to ignore it. Ruins the watch completely for me.

It is because of your video on the Phiobos watches that I decided to buy one for myself. Other than the weak lume (even though it was supposed to have had the upgraded lume) I simply love my blue Phiobos 002 quartz! I definitely would love to buy an automatic Phiobos in the future! Love your videos, keep them coming. God bless and best regards from Florida.

Duro is great value for money but perhaps just a tad too big. A few mm less in diameter would be a perfect size.

The Duro is fairly nice, and I enjoy mine, but I'd like it about 2mm smaller in diameter, 1 or 2 mm shorter on the lug-to-lug distance, and a bit thinner (if possible; being a quartz, that should be quite feasible).
