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.

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.

Jody, your review is spot on. For every day (and occasional diving, swimming) this one really fits the bill. Understated appointments with classy (not gaudy) good looks. Already having a nice dress watch and several "knock abouts", I probably would not drop everything and purchase one right now, but if I catch a decent pre-owned on Ebay down the road I feel it would be a watch worth having.

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.

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.

I'm pretty happy with my Hamilton Khaki King I just bought this black Friday, it's versatile enough to be my every day watch in rotation. The sarb 33 it's another option in my wish list as an everyday watch. 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. Nice video👍 amigo. Saludos desde Mérida 👋

I picked up a Bulova Lunar Pilot new for $289 in October and it hasn’t left my wrist since. Before that I only wore divers. The Bulova is big but doesn’t wear big on my 7” wrist at all. Leather strap dresses up for formal, and I wear a NATO/NASA style Velcro for every day use. It just a great everyday watch. I love it, more than a lot of my autos. I love the story behind the watch too.

This appears to be the Best Everyday Watch Under $300.....that someone had to get out of the house before Christmas :) Many Thanks to the man himself for putting these up for auction, the black-dialed date complication model with the ever-so-slightly off 1 in the 12 has a new home in the US and I have to say it's every bit as nice as it looked in the review, I'm very pleased. 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. Absolutely no complaints, a spot-on review and I'm in agreement, an outstanding watch (all of them) under $300. Thanks Again.

I have a Steinhart 39 black dial and a Kermit Tisell but the Phoibos gets worn the most. I also have (your fault) a quartz Phoibos which is just great value for about £100 and it looks good. Keep up the good work. It's about to snow here so send some Aussie sunshine !

Everyday watch=Citizen Promaster, eco drive, professional diver's 200m, black dial on black rubber strap. Crown and date at 4. But way $300. Also an Omega James Bond Seamaster but much >$300. Plus, two Seiko divers. I usually always grab the Citizen. Maybe next I need to get the PHOIBOS Men's PX005C 1000M dive watch you reviewed that looks like my everyday Citizen. At just under $300 U.S.D. that automatic Phoibos with sapphire crystal and an added black rubber strap would then become my everyday watch. I should add that I was a marine biologist doing scuba part of that time, and was a water safety instructor and lifeguard. Great videos Jody. Keep it up. We in Texas love them!

Just a thought. I had an issue with the buckle on a Tisell bracelet. Emailed Mr Oh in Korea and included photos showing the problem. Emailed him on 7th Dec 2018 and new buckle and 4 links arrived in Scotland today 15th Dec. Pretty impressed.

The touch of yellow on the chrono hand and the extremely polish case makes it a bit dressier IMO. Great review on the RL Odyssey though.

I have the 12 hr bezel one and love it. Accuracy is not as great as yours though: I'm getting almost perfect 0 seconds a day dial up on the night, but when I wear it is at +18sec per 12 hours or so.

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.

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.

How long have you had it? How is the PVD holding up? I'm pretty tempted by the Ray Raven...

It's Sapphire and the Seiko movement is really tough. It also has good water resistance. My Mako got horribly scratched in the first six months.

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.

SKX007 on the stock Jubilee but with my NH36 movement upgrade is my everyday. 2nd place goes to Orient Ray II. And even wore my SKX with a suit to my own mother’s funeral last year and never thought twice about it.

I have two. The automatic is an Invicta diver homage that's built like a tank. The watch I wear most frequently is an old basic three-hand Citizen EcoDrive titanium. It's super dependable, accurate, handsome, and very tough. The Citizen is appropriate for anywhere, anytime wear. I have fancier pieces than these two, but the Invicta and the Citizen get the most wrist time.

This is a watch I have owned for going on six months, and I have been hard pushed to take it off my wrist! I've worn it for work, play and a bit everything else! Highly recommend this piece, however a word of WARNING if your shipping to the UK! DHL charge importation charges of £57 upon collection - just something to consider as you enthuse about the $300 price point!

Great video as always 👍🏼 The blue and black no date versions are nearly as good of a value buy as you can make. My only issue with this watch is the size... 48mm L2L and 14mm thick is just a bit too much. At 46mm and 13 I would’ve bought one of each. RLG please shrink down the dimensions! You will sell much more of these, guaranteed.

Favorite everyday watch at $300 or less? Gotta be my SRP777 Turtle on the black Maratac Zulu. Probably my most versatile piece. Though even my Casio F-91w at sub-$10 wants to be mentioned as a perfectly competent everyday watch.
