Most Underrated Watches: Zenith, Omega, Grand Seiko, and more !

[@elizabeth_grant]

Hi Everyone, I'm in the process of experimenting with different content formats, so please bear with me as I understand this video is far from flawless. If you enjoy these types of videos, please leave a comment to let me know. Creating elaborate reviews for you is something I truly enjoy, but sometimes, they can take up to two weeks to produce. Incorporating videos like this into the collection ensures I can deliver more content at a faster pace. Also, I'd like to mention that I completely forgot to include the retail prices in the video. My original intention was to incorporate them as text overlays, but unfortunately, I overlooked that. I do apologize 🙏 I did create characters and added all the retail prices for each watch in the description box. Thanks for watching, Elle ☺️

[@the-watcher1596]

YOUR DOING AWESOME KEEP IT UP ELIZABETH 👍 I loved this video and all the watches you spoke of great work. 👏

[@anthonystevens8683]

Take your time Elle, your videos are great as they are but if you're not happy to release a review take your time and release it when you are ready. I know it's always a battle in some cases for quantity over quality. A quick teaser short can get the hook initially with the full video later. Great work as always and in my humble opinion it's worth the wait.

[@LukeEdwards-x8c]

Loved the video, your content is fantastic 😊 you have a very natural and engaging way of presenting.

[@tricky92x]

[@WATCHingJames]

I think my Longines Hydroconquest is the best from the brand. It has increased a lot in price recently but looks, wears and feels amazing.

[@SIZZO76]

I love the HYDROCONQUEST 🔥🔥🔥

[@LukeEdwards-x8c]

I owned a Longines Hydroconquest on original bracelet and it was the heaviest watch I have ever owned. I sold it because of the weight. Would recommend people try before they buy and see if they can deal with the weight. I own two Omega seamasters and they are perfect weight for me.

[@SIZZO76]

@@LukeEdwards-x8c I love the SEAMASTER 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 Beautiful timepiece 🔥🔥🔥

[@woodentulike2no]

Very glad to see you doing well!❤

[@robertp5123]

Elizabeth, great video. I definitely agree that Omega is underrated. Zenith is also underrated and I love the reach history of the brand. You just don’t see collectors and enthusiasts talk about Zenith.

[@elizabeth_grant]

Totally agree!

[@jagudelo001]

hi Elizabeth!!!! you had me at Grand Seiko. Great video!

[@elizabeth_grant]

So glad!

[@alanmckinnon6791]

Biggest issue with Ball & tritium is the half-life of tritium is 12.33 years so after about 36 years the lume will be very dim but the watch could easy still be in excellent condition, no option to paint new BGW9. Second point is that of course Seiko made the first auto chrono - as in first to market. Zenith were first to demo one - a single prototype which no-one could buy. Heuer/Hamilton/Buren were first at something I don't recall. So there 😀

[@simonmorris1626]

Really enjoyable video. It's nice to talk about other watch brands.

You nailed it! Especially wrt Ball! I love man of there watches...their mechanical tide complication is awesome....

[@2manysigns]

Hey cool ! You still have the Rail Master ! Seems a nice fit with the boots and jeans style . I'm relieved . I think Guinand is maybe not talked about enough . They give me a sense of being above the competition in solid watch making passion in the price range . Yeah , love 'em and also Muhle Glashuette .

[@kevinowens8681]

Hey Elizabeth......I enjoyed todays video because it is relatable to alot of people. My current collection consist of a Tissot and a G- shock. I am in search of that "perfect for me" watch in the under 3k catagory. Keep em' coming !!

[@elizabeth_grant]

Can do 🫡

Hi Elizabeth, great video. FWIW, I enjoy this type of video as much as an in-depth review; it gives me a better view of more watches in the same amount of time.

[@elizabeth_grant]

Glad you like them!

[@anthonystevens8683]

Nice one Elizabeth. I have to agree with your views, OK some of them I've not tried but I do agree with the essence. The Aquis is a fantastic range in my book and they are an independent brand, I confess I have a couple. I've loved the Railmaster denim for years but it so far didn't hit the top of my list but I love the understated watch with that great METAS movement. Ball is another that has been on my watch list for arguably longer than it should but other pieces nudged above it when it was time to make a purchase. I love Longines, great honest watches with a finish that is above the price point, confession time I also have a couple from the brand. Great work and production as usual and many thanks for sharing

[@gwobcke]

Great video, agree with the mention of Longines and the Omega Railmaster. I was very pleased to hear Ball get a mention. The Ball Engineer III Marvelight is a great COSC watch, with so many nice dial colours including an emerald green, a deep rich red, and an almost Doxa Orange colour. Laco is a under-rated brand in my opinion.

[@disheuresdis]

Great content as usual, good picks!

[@elizabeth_grant]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@jasonchaney5382]

You pretty much nailed a good portion of my wish list here. Quartz GS, Chronomaster, blue and gold Aquis. I'm wearing a green/gold Zulu Time now. So that's one checked off. What to get next?

[@marcomolini9338]

THANK YOU! 👍 "Man Does Not Live By Rolex Alone"!!

[@dperreno]

"Grand Seiko already has a bit of a cult following - Grand Seiko is better than Rolex" - that killed me! 😀 Great selection of underrated watches. I actually sort-of own 3 of them. I have a Zenith Chronomaster and it is my everyday watch. Insanely accurate (< 1 sec/day) My prior everyday watch was a Longines Hydroconquest, but I've been lusting after that Spirit Zulu Time. I might get one if I start travelling internationally again. I love the Railmaster. I don't own one, but I do have an homage (which I use as my cheap travel watch) and would like to get a real one someday. I like the others on your list as well, except for the Cartier tank, but only because it just isn't my style.

[@elizabeth_grant]

Completely understand about the Tank! This was a very generalized video so maybe it belongs in a different category.

[@dperreno]

@@elizabeth_grant Nah, the tank needs to be there, I agree that it is a great watch with a great heritage. Yours was a fun list that happened to resonate with me - thanks! (or should I say "Tanks!"?)

[@Angry_Gnome]

Great video Elle, I agree with all of these. I owned the blue Zulu Time in 42mm. It was a great watch, just found the 42 a little too big and wound up selling it. I might give it another go with the 39mm though. Keep up the great content!

[@jsusna1972]

My Grand Seiko SBGA493 (red dial) will arrive next week. I am looking forward to seeing it on my wrist. Your speaking voice is like butterscotch. I could listen to you read the phone book.

[@spaceman_042]

High quality video, as usual! For a potential part 2 on underrated watches, you might want to consider Glashütte Original and Carl F. Bucherer. Beautiful watches with exceptional finishing.

[@elizabeth_grant]

Great suggestions!

[@dharam2016]

Good video. U covered the best of watches, which r underrated. Cheers pls keep maiing such videos. Thank u

[@nedflanders3769]

Agreed about Ball. Way underrated!

[@LukeEdwards-x8c]

The only thing about ball is in 20 years time could they redial the watch when the tritium has died? Or replace all the tubes? Superluminova seems to last forever. Maybe a good episode idea as nobody has covered watch servicing fees or things like which companies would replace tritium tubes. Marathon is another watch company who use tubes from mb microtech. Mb microtech own Traser watches.

[@nedflanders3769]

@@LukeEdwards-x8c I’ve thought about the same thing.. the tritium has about a 12 year half life, meaning in 12 years it will only be half as bright, and in 24 years it will be 1/4 as bright. I wonder if Ball could refill or replace the tubes, assuming they’re still in business (I’m sure they will be, as they’ve been around a long time).

[@Another_User_Name_]

Great review of underrated watches. I have the Oris Aquis GMT and absolutely love it. The only downside I see is the power reserve is not quite what I'd like it to be. I like many of the watches you mentioned in the $2,500-$3,500 range. I think my next purchase will be a Longines unless I hold out and wait to get the new Omega Seamaster in green which is the one I really want. Tough for me to spend almost $6k at this point in my life on a watch though.

[@elizabeth_grant]

Longines is 👌

[@mrbud8524]

Great video. Panerai watch brand next video please 🙏

[@LukeEdwards-x8c]

I am looking out for a smaller Panerai, but there is an image that if you don’t have a 44mm Panerai then you are not a man!! Omg 😂

[@AlbertusMagnus_44]

Love these kinds of videos! Keep 'em coming. Of these mentioned today my pick would be the Longines. Just gorgeous. Variety is the spice of life so a variety of categories works for me. Maybe a series of videos on watches at different price points. I leave the specifics to your judgement. I'll be here. To quote Anton Ego in Ratatouille, "Surprise Me!"

[@jouzel8951]

[@troubauk]

Since you mentioned El Primero, A3817 could go there too, where the case also has some character

[@jorgsofi]

Great vid. Oris is woefully underrated. Their Aquis Caliber 400 beats Tudor's Black Bay in every metric possible, including price. I've been hearing Longines is underrated for decades now, yet nothing has changed. Zenith has great movements, but doesn’t seem to appeal to regular watch people for some reason. Omega's Railmaster is nice but seems to be stuck in the shadows of its Seamaster and Speedmaster brethren. I'm not sure Grand Seiko is underrated any longer. I'm a big fan, but I think their design language and focus on nature motifs has a limited audience in this part of the world. Seiko's chief is on record saying they're trying to find a way to make people fall in love with Grand Seiko, the way some people fall in love with its Swiss competitors. That is, they want Grand Seiko's appeal to be less cerebral (which watch geeks tend to be) and more emotional. It’s all about the little details with Grand Seiko, and Rolex buyers only care about a single detail: a crown on the dial. Who else is underrated? Citizen. But not for long.

[@StefunSoare]

Very good topic! Thank you for this point of view! 😎

[@elizabeth_grant]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@aulzhoefer]

Definitely Longines is underrated … super value and great designs!

[@BrettinLux]

Junghans,Stowa and Sinn are all very underrated brands and have awesome value for money watches.I was in USA a few months ago and a guy was at a dinner with was showing off his Rolex Sub.Him and a few other guys thought I was mad when I took off my Glashütte SeaQ Panorama Date and asked him what he thought of it.We are so spoilt for watches in Europe👍👍

[@ronaldpoppe3774]

Elizabeth. I agree totally with the longine Zulu time along with their new conquest. I like you I'm a big fan of Oris 🇨🇭. I have a big Crown pointer date with the maroon face. And I am currently looking for the 65 diver with the bronze bezel and brown face like you have. I also have bought two vintage Oris 🇨🇭 watchs for my wife. I really like Ball and Omega and agree that the railmaater is under ratted. Cheers Ron

[@cosmodoc]

I agree with you about Longines. I have 4 of them and they are amazing. The Avigation Big Eye in Titanium, the Legend Diver, the Flagship Heritage and a vintage Longines from 1957 which still runs at -1.5 seconds a day!! My Railmaster was an absolute bargain at £2400, too!

[@TheTejanoJose]

In my eyes, the best Longines is the Longines Lindbergh Hour Angle Watch, reference 989.5215 with a steel 38-millimeter case, the Longines L989.2 caliber, and the original steel bracelet. I got this watch in 1990 as a wedding gift and it's still ticking.

[@nikmansol]

Very nice collection

[@UltraDoug]

N O M O S ❤️ the 42mm Club Sport Neomatic (in blue) is one of the most underrated watches. The look, thin profile, legibility, dial, craftsmanship, in house movement, water resistance. Has its flaws, but man it’s an insane amount of watch for the price. 38mm for smaller wrists also. Anyway, excellent vid. More please. 😎👍🏼

[@elizabeth_grant]

Thank you 🙏 love Nomos ❤️❤️❤️

[@stevethompson7910]

I own one Longines, the Spirit ZuluTime. It is a fantastic watch and priced very competitively.

[@patriciateague8677]

I have the Zenith and enjoy that it's a brand with a connection to Rolex but has a style all its own as well as an amazing movement. I own a Rolex Datejust and love it but I really wanted a diverse collection. I also have the Oris Upcycle and love the company's history, mission and quality. I have some Cartier jewelry and couldn't pass up the Santos. I got it in quartz on a strap and enjoyed the lower price point but also the look of the traditional styling. I was intrigued by the Longines Zulu Time. There are so many brands that are discounted because of a lower price point. Thanks for the video. A deeper dive into some of these brands would be interesting.

[@elizabeth_grant]

Noted 🫡 I will put it in the queue.

[@structurescience]

Excellent!! Watching, vacation day 35.

[@notgoodyear7072]

[@smokincooks7661]

Orient Star is one of the most underrated brands out there. I don't really like most of their current lineup- but of the many discontinued models I own and love, I can't see much else for the same or less that can come close, other than some Citizen models.

[@nec4608]

Hi Eli, Mido is also underrated from my humble opinion Rado could also be. Cheers

[@cocoyc495]

Ball is great. Their watches are what I would consider an ideal tool watch. Durable, legible and not too expensive.

[@johnsanabria3279]

I have a brand I think you overlooked: Steinhart. I own an Ocean One 39 and for the money, they're great value . Even their most expensive models would probably be less than what you paid for your Oris, yet one doesn't have to pay Rolex prices for Rolex quality. Though it's vintage, I also own a 1969 King Seiko with the hi-beat movement. Both are quality at a good price for mechanical movements.

[@LukeEdwards-x8c]

Steinhart has a beautiful build quality - I have the Ocean One 39 too. I think they get overlooked as they are seen as a homage watch brand rather than a stand alone brand. I wish Steinhart would allow some bespoking of their watches - four dial colour choices or four bezel colour choices so they become less of the Rolex Homage. Their watch servicing costs are very reasonable too as standard Swiss movements.

[@KeepingWatchUK]

Moser need to modernise their logo imho & ditch the ‘very rare’ sub-text. Totally naff. Great vid, as usual. I have a GS 9F quartz & concur with your comment 👍🏻 ps. I think those in the know do love the Zenith, but the clasp isn’t amazing & I think the price is a tad too high.

[@tonyzambrota9303]

You started with Moser and then never talked about them😢 I would love it if you reviewed higher end brands like Moser.

[@nikmansol]

@@elizabeth_grantmoser is boring and overrated . Please don’t 😂

[@ersrvd]

I agree with your comment about the Oris. I know that brand after watching your videos. I would like to add to the list the Omega Constellation. At least in The USA I think it's overlooked compared to other more popular models like the Seamaster, Speedmaster and Aquaterra. 😁

[@matthewmccord99]

Wife says Railmaster is, like me, underwhelming, but I love it!

[@n0ne846]

I think that the Railmaster is expensive at retail but given how unpopular it is, AD are giving out 20%+ discount and grey/pre owned can be had for under $3.5k 👍.

[@elizabeth_grant]

Exactly, I kept everything at retail just for the sake of simplicity in the video. But just like I mentioned, with Oris, you can get some of these watches for substantial discounts.

[@n0ne846]

@@elizabeth_grant Yes, I think discounts especially on some of these brands doesn’t get mention enough especially in the vs type of videos. For example, where I am (California) a Datejust (discount nonexistent at AD) cost about the same as 2x Aqua Terra (after AD discounts). Like you said, the Oris “value” really from the price after discounts (same for Longines).

[@shaunhuxley3275]

Zulu time. saw one in store. The tip of the GMT hand looks like its floating and defying gravity. Great deployant straps too. COSC. Great value

[@johnsanabria3279]

What Ball does in their way to create "lume" is interesting,but I'd be willing to believe keeping that luminosity comes at a price.....not something extra I'd want to pay for in a watch like theirs.

[@pth8888]

If you think GS quartz is underrated then you need to check out The Citizen high precision eco quartz. It has better accuracy spec and no battery needed as it is eco drive. The case are also zaratsu polished.

[@pth8888]

@@PepRex Size is subjective, depends on individual wrist size. In Singapore, all GS servicing goes back to Japan so no diff. 15 years ago hardly anyone would want to pay 5K for a GS, now people are happy to fork out 10k for one. So will things changed.

Click bait is the problem with KZbin, if you mention Oris it would get less viewers than say if you mention Rolex. Great choices, I’m a big fan of the Railmaster and I have a big crown date pointer in bronze and for under £2000 it’s worth every penny, Longines is my next watch Great topic 👍

[@Mega-zi7ys]

Longines is only underrated by biased KZbinrs who are in rolex pr machinery. They keep hyping tudor which has been beaten to badly by longines by a factor of 3:1. Just look at global market share of 5.6% for longines and less than 2% for Tudor. Longines is #8 globally... Tudor very far from top 10. Morgan Stanley

[@vik574]

I can solve one mystery for you, the reason why people don't like Ball watches, or at least the reason why they're not more popular. It's because the name sounds stupid and it's always put into the huge letters on a dial, I don't want to wear a watch that says Ball on it with big giant letters. It looks dumb.

And i can't wait for the bond... my G shock will have quartz competition Brands are really taking liberties....For example i really don't get how a Speedy that i bought a few years ago can cost double now...(i sold mine with no regrets).... its just getting out of hand and i refuse to play..

Omega is second only to Rolex in sales and that's because Rolex produced way better watches up until 5 years ago. Now Rolex is not seen as a watch brand by Joe Public...its a form of jewellery.
