7 Watches Every Enthusiast Should Consider

[@chris_abazas]

Teddy's channel was made for those who really love watches and only for them. Whoever makes fun of other people ,cause they wear cheaper watches, and value a person according to his big pocket, can take their Richard Mille or other abominations,and stick it in their... Money can't buy good taste, and certainly can't make a nice character. Love you all my friends and greetings from Greece.

[@mariosoprano777]

Don’t shun the people who like good beveling on their watches my friend. As a person who wears a Lange would respect you, you should do the same. 🙂

[@chris_abazas]

​@mariosoprano777 Yes of course, i don't refer to you or anyone else specifically, i just refer to the people that make fun of other's financial condition. So don't take it personally. By the way, Lange is one of my favourite brands. Greetings my friend, and have a productive year.

Hamilton Khaki Field is the go anywhere, do anything every day wear. Not too expensive, but not too cheap. Swiss automatic, reliable, accurate. Changing the leather for quick change FKM rubber means you can change at will and when you want!

[@anewt72690]

I've had my khaki field mechanical (white dial, 42mm) for a year now and it's been a terrific companion. I'm wary of the 50m water resistance, but so far so good!

[@stew_redman]

I have a Tag Heuer 2000 quartz that I bought new in 1997 (pre LVMH takeover). It has spent 90% of my days since then on my wrist. It has been serviced by Tag a couple of times and works perfectly and is extremely accurate. It never looks out of place with jeans and a t-shirt or a formal suit. It is an everyday essential that has served me well for over 26 years.

[@wisamal-hakim5531]

In my opinion this is the best way to own a watch. It’s been with you through thick and thin. Cars come and go, kids grow up and leave, even homes change occasionally. But your loyal timepiece has been at your side all this time. And sounds like it’s served you well. Brilliant 👍

[@lonewolfemcquade8133]

I also have a 2000 but it's a early 80s Heuer 272.006 chronograph Albino dial. With the Heuer 185 super quartz movement 👌 and LOVE THAT WATCH. Just the fact it's one of the last "Heuer" only dials really gives it a special allure. Since Heuer became Tag Heuer in 1985

[@thethomasj1795]

Back in 1999 through 2002, I had two of those. I was very hard on them. The first one was fixed and eventually replaced under warranty, and the 2nd one was lost. The tag was my main everyday watch. Back then I had two Movado Museum watches, one gold, on leather, and one SS on a bracelet that I barely wore. My pride and joy the Bond Seamaster 36 mm that I bought brand new at a jewelry store in the mall. A Fossil Chrono-Diver, and of course a Timex digital. All Quartz watches. At the time I had zero idea what an automatic was. I still have all of them, except the Tag. I still wear the Seamaster regularly. Occasionally I pull out the Fossil for nostalgia. Now I'm heading over to Watchrecon and E-bay to see how much they are.

[@superkjell]

I can relate, with my '97 1500

[@chriscon8463]

I bought a TAG Heuer 2000 auto new in ‘04; it was my first nice watch! I wore it exclusively (well, it & a G-Shock!) until about 2017 & had it serviced by TAG once in 2018. I now have a few more watches, but my old TAG is the one I’ll never sell.

[@UGA.D]

I consider the quartz to be able to fit into other categories as you could have a quartz beater or dress watch. I also consider GMTs to be a complication. My six are Daily, Sport/Weekend, Beater, Evening, Complication and Color/Wild Card.

[@tiger_bread4]

As a young collector I have a chronograph, a dress watch and everyday watch and I think that is perfect for me. The chronograph is a Q timex 40 mm with a leather strap the dress watch is a vintage oris big crown and the everyday watch is a lorus automatic with a blue dial.

[@giusepperocchi2979]

In a few years you’ll have fond memories of the times when three cheap watches were enough.

[@tiger_bread4]

[@americanpaisareturns9051]

I just bought my first Timex back in November 2023. Got me a Waterbury and it’s been my go to watch since. I gotta admit. I’m impressed by Timex. I gotta admit I actually like the Indiglo feature.

[@tiger_bread4]

@@americanpaisareturns9051 I love timex myself and I agree I like the indiglo feature and it can be super useful especially car trips when it is dark outside or if you want to read the time in the dark.

[@teabagtowers3823]

You see I can only really have one watch as I'd end up wearing whichever watch was the newest watch in my collection and others would collect dust. For me it'll be a good looking divers watch because my dad since I can remember always had an Omega Seamaster on his wrist first a 300 and then a Planet Ocean. At moment I have Seiko dive watch and one day I'll get a Seamaster either 300m or Planet Ocean.

[@Krisselus]

I totally agree that dive watches are maybe more functional than a chronograph. I use my dive watch bezel almost everyday to cook noodles and I feel like I am James Bond while doing it. At the end of the day it's about fun.

[@michielroskam3877]

Chronograph is cool since i can imagine i need to use it😂

[@OriqinLCinema]

Can you explain how one would use a bezel? I’m a super noob

[@Krisselus]

@@OriqinLCinema A dive watch bezel usually goes from 0 to 60 (zero in most cases is an arrow). You can turn that bezel so that the arrow points at the minute hand and that helps you see how many minutes pass

[@Maik_TF]

As a young collector of 23 years old and a just finished bachelors degree + first full time job, I celebrated all of this with my first more expensive complication (Moonphase) watch. I got myself the lovely Mühle Glashütte Teutonia IV Bluemoon which can easily be dressed up with a suit for the office, but also looks great with a more casual poloshirt. Other than the Moonphase, I have as an everyday beater my Timex Marlin Chronograph, as my Quartz the Gshock 2100 in silver and as my Diver the Zelos Swordfish 42. And I love all of them, because watches are simply just amazing! 😃

[@wisamal-hakim5531]

I own quite a few watches but my favourites are the Sinn 556ib and glasshutte original seventies panorama date. No idea what categories they fall into but I love wearing them. And that’s really all that matters to me

My Casio Duro is my diver/beater/quartz all rolled into one, I have a no-name cheap Invicta as my dress watch (I know what you're thinking, but it actually looks legit), a Timex Q GMT Pepsi as my traveler’s watch, and a Casio Lineage as my everyday GADA. I’m quite happy with that. 😊

[@user-vv1qm5dj9c]

Agree 100% on the Duro. Invicta has many cool looking watches; just need to get past some of the garish looking ones. Timex is on a roll with near 1x1 reissues, the Gallo series and collabs with Tom Snyder to name a few.

[@itinensanzen]

Invicta has good quality and Casio is the Toyota of watches.

[@drticzon]

My first watch was a Seiko Dec 1975 Pogue. It is 48 years later, and I am still wearing it as my everyday watch.

[@coreyk288]

A TOP RECOMMENDATION: The expanding Seiko SSK GMT line is excellent and Seiko has steadily released fun color ways, limited editions and it has modding support already. I got one for my father and its turned him into a watch guy. He wears that thing across continents and into glacial waters. He's a mad lad but the watch can easily withstand the rough stuff and still look more than nice enough for the dinner date. The bracelet is also quite good for the price point and better than previous seiko bracelets. Jangles with charm but is sturdy. Runs well better than stated +45/-45 also.

[@dannysimenauer5745]

And when coupled with Rolex not being available at the AD, the Seiko GMT makes so much sense! Not to mention the price of the Seiko!

[@colebushur7219]

That was the first "luxury" watch I purchased and I couldn't be happier with it!

[@zsoltfarkas1028]

[@coreyk288]

@@zsoltfarkas1028 It certainly deserves sapphire and it would have been nice if it came that way from Seiko, but they do have many Seiko GMTs (non SSK for now) with sapphire crystals and with modification support websites you can order and easily install a quality sapphire into your SSK GMT.

I'd like to add an 8th type just for fun: that watch that you love but hold back on buying it because of other collectors might say. For the longest time I was in love with the King Seikos and held myself back from getting it because its movement was subpar and everyone in the community was saying that it was an overpriced piece of garbage. I then realised that I loved it and its design made me smile so much that I wouldn't really care about what other collectors had to say, cause in the end, I was the one wearing it everyday. My King Seiko SPB279 makes me happy everyday 🙌🏼 that's the thing about this hobby, many times it doesn't make sense and it doesn't need to 🙂

[@roddunne]

That bit in 'Raiders' where Indiana Jones finds the grail (holy grail cup) is actually humble in appearance, utilitarian, and unassuming. Love that each persons grail watch reflects this.. doesn't always have to be a bling monster :) And sometimes you have to buy a few silly choices, and even expensive choices, to find that humble watch that you can be 'enthusiast'ic about daily. Hopefully, don't have to go through swamps, jungles & pyramids like Indy to find this out!

Referring/comparing the Everyday Watch to the “blue suit or white tee ordark wash denim jeans” was one of the best things I’ve heard. Great content and insight buddy.

[@pavXX]

A couple years ago I picked up a Casio GW-7900. Was hesitant as I thought it'd be too big, look generic, etc. But I wear that way more frequently than I imagined. It also has some more "out there" complications/functions that I use; world time, moon phase, tide. Plus it's solar so no worrying about it. Partial downside is the strap does pinch a little. Great relatively inexpensive watch.

[@KV_55555]

1. Everyday - seiko SRPE 2. Dive Watch - Orient Ray 2 or kamasu 3. Beater - Gshock DW5600 (solar) 4. Quartz - Casio Vintage & Youth series (if you wanna go digital), Timex weekender or Easyreader 5. Dress watch - Orient Bambino or Timex marlin 6. Travel (GMT) - seiko SKX GMT or Casio royale 7. Complication - i was just talking about affordable

[@LuisAraujo-h4d]

got my 39mm with the white dial on the 3-link "Bader" bracelet watch on amzwatch 3 weeks ago and am loving it to pieces. Absolute fantastic watch that wears super comfortable on my 6.75 inch wrist. Chose the 3-link over the 5-link bracelet for the toolless quick adjustment. Way more comfortable than my Longines Hydroconquest 41 mm.

Great NY video. Enjoyed your content, and after 20 years of collecting, I "flushed" my collection during 23, spurred on by my planned trip to Switzerland. I sold a couple of watches, but more importantly gave about 7 away to start, hopefully, new watch enthusiasts (along with links to your vids!). Spot on the categories- got the Gentlemen and an AT for Everyday, PRX and a Jetstar for quartz high accuracy, Tudor 1926 dress, along with GS in a GS44 case), a Hamilton Murph for field, and the Glycine Golden Eye Combat PVD black for my beater. World time duties covered by Balls Roadmaster Worldtime black dial/red bezel, and GS GMT blue dial. Enjoyed the journey with ya last year, looking forward to what's next. (and settling in on enjoying my updates)

[@aaaaaaaawwwwwwww]

Wow enjoy. I'm just starting with a Emporio Armani AR-1895 but I see this as the beginning of a lifelong journey (I'm 17). Do you have any tips?

[@wowlsj]

Congrats. I'd echo what Teddy says about watch collecting being a marathon and not a sprint - take your time, research watch brands, types, and your use cases. Buy a watch because YOU love it, not because it's trendy or trending, because selling one you've changed your mind about comes with a financial cost - almost always losing some money, which is okay if you've had the watch for a while and have enjoyed it in that time. Lastly as you buy up in price and over time, then think about classics and their potential resale value and marketability. All the best in your journey.

[@aaaaaaaawwwwwwww]

Thank you @@wowlsj

[@wmen48]

my take: -beater & quartz - I take a 45 buck smart bracelet thats the most comfortable and on the go -everyday is the most important because it can be any of the other categories depending on your lifestyle, my choice is the GS snowflake -dress watch is for me a stealth wealth kinda thing and daily I wear a suit with a GS so I choose an Orient bambino -dive watch is kinda a grail for people for the looks and its nice at home when I'm cooking, GS lake suwa diver is my choice -travel and complication isnt my thing since your smart device is really best for both

It's good to reward ourselves sometimes . While I'm not one to spend on high-end watch (I spend too much money on travel, lol), I can appreciate your gorgeous and timeless watch. I love how it's a symbol of all your hard work.And i choose NKUWAN every time honestly

Watches are a luxury and few people actually need one. But I like being able to glance at my wrist and see the time.

Yes, and the perfect example are some of the Breitlings. When I look at some of them I don’t know what’s going on with all the markings and complications.

[@jokeassasin7733]

One of the things that makes buying watches online difficulty is lug to lug size. A 40mm watch on me could look fine or ridiculous just because of the length of the watch. I think a video comparing different styles of watches for certain wrist sizes would be interesting. With a 6.5" wrist, I tend to stick around the 38-41mm watch size.

I use the dive bezel on my Luminox fairly regular. Amy time I can use my watch to prevent even touching my phone I’m all for it. Never fails you check you phone for time and spend 30 minutes on it doing other stuff.

I’ve owned many watches over the years, some moderately expensive, and I will always maintain that if I could only have once watch to wear for the rest of my life it would be my Breitling Aerospace. I’ve taken mine from the streets of Hanoi to the summit of Chimborazo and diving in the Red Sea and it has always performed without flaw. The titanium bracelet and case make it incredibly comfortable and the functions on it make it perfect for any situation. It is a perfect watch.

Some watches can double dip in some categories: you dive watch can also be your beater, your daily watch is versatile enough to be dressed up or down, or even better, it can also be quartz like the Tissot prx or the gentleman quartz.

I've recently began my obsession as a watch collector. And i must say- out of all the luxury brands I've been researching, for me the amzwatch's watches are the most intriguing.

[@KadeishaJalomo]

I love watching your videos and AMZWATCH to keep myself updated on the world of watches

[@Podjr]

I would call the "Beater" category "Adventure". Something you'd be willing to wear snowboarding, MTBing, trail running, diving, ect....

[@SevginBasilio]

Picked up a AMZWATCH's watch as my first watch last month and I’m absolutely in love with it. Perfect size, looks elegant, very comfortable. Now my only problem is holding off from buying more watches so quickly!

[@smokinscars1024]

When was about to purchase Tudor Black Bay 58, I realized that had to many divers watch, so I had decided to go for Tudor Black Bay 41mm heritage. Realized that was my end game from Tudor. Since i own rolex submariner 11610 , breitling superocean 42, seiko skx 009j ans last oris aquis. This year thinking for omega seamaster aqua terra or longines spirit green edition (chronograph) still making a decision by end of the month

[@biggles54321]

My Timex Expedition chronograph T49905GP checks multiple boxes: quartz, chronograph and jumping hour hand for travel or ease of seasonal re-setting.(I’m lazy and half my watches, the too-thick-for-sleeves watches, are still on Daylight Time.) It has a soft, flexible “genuine leather” strap and the price is right.

Teddy, this is another great video. I would highly recommend it to someone who's starting their watch collecting journey. It's great food for thought. The part about being a cerebral watch buyer makes a lot of sense. A watch really is an extension of our personality. Lots of people buy a watch to be in vogue with the rest of the crowd but I think a true watch collector is one who would be just as happy wearing a Casio Duro compared to his buddy who has a Rolex Sub. You're right.....A watch is a luxury, but boy, we sure do love them all the same! Thanks Teddy!

[@tomhohum4275]

Wearing a Casio GBD-H2000 at the moment. GPS, fitness tracker, blue tooth enabled. Closest to a smart watch I’ll ever get. Very functional beater

[@Julianpms]

Another great video, thank you, Teddy! I would add a historical/classic category. As well as some recent watches, one watch I will always keep is the Omega Constellation my parents gave me over 40 years ago. The classification by dress/sports/diver etc. is probably less relevant when buying a historical piece, but you could choose a personal connection (as I have), a design in vogue at a particular period or a watch which marked a major technical advance. I keep my 1981 Omega regularly maintained and still wear it (in fact, it's on my wrist today).

[@pauloid76]

Agree with your opinion. This is a bridge book. It's a character development book. But things are building. Look forward to your review of Small Favor

[@cyrilgeorge1378]

I appreciate how you said “consider” instead of “get.” I think it sets you apart from other content creators.

[@scollyutube]

The tougher GMTs with decent water resistance pretty much nail a lot of these categories. Especially now sunburst, diver, GMTs are around ala Hydroconquest.

[@altal2993]

Thank you as always...... My humble suggestion for an ultimate universal watch would be an Alpinist GMT. Beater, dress, go anywhere, do anything, GMT and with horological significance....

[@nhanthanh1267]

Me at your list: - quartz DW, Fossil, OP - dive Tag Heuer aquaracer - beater Casio Gshock 5600 - Every carry Seiko monster - dress Hublot bigbang unico

[@afgpielover]

I believe the Bulova "devil diver" oceanographer is a great dive watch, too. It's affordable, looks great in mutltipe colorways, comes in a GMT, bracelet strap or a rubber strap, awesome story, and very charming of a watch.

[@66racer]

Another great video. Appreciated the different watch types mentioned. I would be interested to learn what other watches have an isolated hour hand, it is SO HANDY when I travel. For that reason I love traveling with my Longines Conquest VHP (Quartz) but would love to learn of many more mechanical watches that have it.

[@anthonybonilla9491]

Hey Teddy. Please stop having to explain yourself that watches are unnecessary because you know what? They are! What happens in an event where all mobile phones malfunction? Us watch nerds will be the ones who will have the time readily available. Although I am being extreme, the point is this. These timepieces are very much necessary because they make us enthusiasts happy! Your content brings us joy! I think I speak for ALL enthusiasts when I say that you don’t need to put “disclaimers” for the sake of not “offending” someone. I love your content, and you should never have to explain yourself for talking about your passion. Think of it this way. Watches are an extension of fashion. The jacket you were wearing in the video “really nice by the way” I’m sure was “unnecessary” right? You don’t need 10 jackets. But you do, because style is important for expressing our individuality. Thanks for continuing to make awesome content!

[@521tifosi]

I like the idea of summer watches. Usually something that’s colorful, fun, and represents an escape from the routine of everyday life.

[@yonder_owls]

The missing category: Vintage. If you consider yourself an enthusiast, you've got to try a few vintage watches.

[@TheBajamin]

I have stuff from 1903 and up. They are so tiny though they look funny on my wrist. I just like them.

[@speedracer2please]

I have three and love them, but they can be a huge hassle or expense for some collectors. Maybe if you also include heritage-inspired re-releases though!

[@ronteffs6667]

I also own four pocket watches, one belonged to my great grandfather then my uncle and now me. I believe the first two monograms on a 😅the back were added when passed to my uncle I recently added mine when I had it restored to full functional condition. Looks great in the vest pocket of a suit. My two wrist watches are vintage also it’s a pleasure to wear any one of them. I don’t need them to tell the time I need them for the experience.

[@supermanlol67]

My beater would be the gshock gm-2100, i drive and operate heavy machinery and have to do some hands on work sometimes so it's ideal. For my daily when not at work it's the Hamilton khaki field auto 38mm. Currently on the list at my Rolex AD for a 36mm DJ , oystersteel,fluted bezel, jubilee bracelet, blue motif dial with diamonds 😁

[@WatchGlimpse23]

Maybe falls in with the Complications, “Romantic” side but what about collaboration style watches just for something fun? Like, for example NUBEO did a Space Invaders watch. Not something I’d wear much but I have a nostalgic connection to it. Thanks for the video, great as usual Teddy! 👍🏻

[@masoodrazaq]

Good roundup, Teddy. I would also add a few more categories for consideration: field/military; pilot/flieger, novelty/funky (like MB&F, Urwerk etc.), and smart watches (Apple watch). Vintage could also be considered a category that cuts across all these different types. Finally, for women I would add “jewelry watch,” ie the watches that are bejeweled usually with lots of gemstones or diamonds, and are often offered by jewelry brands more than watch brands per se.

[@Mike-In-O-Town]

You've done another video on it, but highlighting the Tissot 'Gentleman' here again as an everyday watch is really striking the bullseye. It's such a wonderful watch on so many levels and a terrific value for people not endowed with unlimited funds for watches. If I could only have one watch (God forbid!) the Gentleman would be very close to the top of that short list.

[@marexmal]

That's a nice category choice, thanks Teddy! I would personally add a Bronze one, since I love having one and the uniqueness of how they old.

[@JakeSmith-jy1kx]

I own four watches and am absolutely not a part of the mechanical watch community, but hear me out please. All four are Citizen Eco Drives. I absolutely love them. They never have to be wound or serviced. They fit me. That said, three of those four are over a decade old, so they don't have them in their offer sheet anymore. In any case, my watches are: a plain silver/white everyday/dress watch that I have worn more than 95% of the time over the last twenty years. That's probably worn over 8000 days, but my math. Then. what is roughly that same watch in black, for occasions when I can fit that stark dark pattern into my wardrobe effortlessly. Then a gold-rimmed, navy face, leather strap. And then an over-the-top (to me, who likes simple) tachymeter that my wife got me about five years ago. I'm convinced that's a great breakdown. 1 simple silver band/face for everyday/dress. 1 simple gold/navy face with leather band. And then usecase specific alternatives such as my all-black or my weekender tachymeter. Another example would be a nato band summer watch. Once again, I'm aware this doesn't fit the mould of the community, but I figured my outsider perspective might be welcomed as well.

[@jaythompson8150]

My favorite everyday watch is a dive watch…. Marathon GSAR. I wear it with pretty much everything from cargo shorts/t shirts to khakis/polos.

[@AnthonySkatz]

As someone who recently became interested in watches more for their fashion and functionality, it was quite funny to see the first image for Quartz be the literal watch I got to start my "collection."

[@vitaglianoashen]

Thank you for making high quality videos!Love amzwatch ’s watches
