As a high school teacher, I can tell you that it is rare for a student to wear a watch, and for those that do wear one, it is usually a smart watch.

[@Jorge-125]

Yeah, I agree. Plus I don't think a high school student would want to wear the calculator watch because of the possibility of being made fun of. Other than smart watches I have seen a lot of younger people wearing the gold Alarm/Chrono Casio watches, probably because they're sold at Zumiez.

[@lamboboj]

When I was a student intern, my bosses loved discussing watches. I got intrigued, started reading up, and understandably got into watches. As I started my first job at 23yo I wanted a watch to commemorate graduating/starting work, and during a family trip to Japan I bought a Seiko SARB033 for less than 300usd. At that time I was proud to get a Japanese domestic model that I was eyeing at such an affordable price. It fit perfectly on me, works well, and looks good with different straps for various occasions. Seiko has since discontinued this model, so it is even more valuable to me now. It so happens that this watch has 23 jewels and every time i see '23 jewels' printed on the dial, it reminds me of the excitement of being 23yo, graduating and starting work. And as I bring the watch to my ears, the ticking still reminds me of the joy I had after buying this watch, as well as the memories of a wonderful family vacation. I have since gotten a couple more watches, but nothing beats the SARB033 in my heart! (maybe not until i get another 32 or 35 jewel watch to commemorate another life event few years later haha. ps: no. of jewels do not correlate to quality, but to me its a nice way to relate to an age)

Nothing beats a Casio if it comes down to value and function. Durability is irrelevant when you can buy these at the cost of an average restaurant meal. I don't own one myself but that would be my go-to if I didn't have money. If you have money, upgrade to a Citizen Eco-drive with sapphire. When you really HAVE money, well, the sky's the limit with watches :) For mechanicals, Orient/Star has been my new favorite watch brand.

Quartz, solar, and analog-digital combo: these are all my criteria for a watch I want to own. And that makes me an all-Casio guy since high school. Four Casio watches is all I need: a G-shock for daily beater, a Pro Trek when traveling, an Edifice for going out with friends, and an Oceanus when I have to dress up. G-Shock G-steel: around $400 Pro Trek: around $500 Edifice: around $350 Oceanus OCW-S100 : around $500 The longevity of these four watches is amazing. I'm not a student anymore but these four watches have been with me since high school and I haven't bought anymore new watches since.

[@pranaviyer971]

I'm a student (getting into uni in 2023), and my next watch is most probably going to be a Grand Seiko 9F GMT, preferably the SBGN003 or 005. I wanted the 011/13 but it had too much Zaratsu and I'd be uncomfortable beating the crap out of it, so that's that. I needed five qualities, which are: 1) Easy to maintain 2) A GMT to track multiple timezones with a "true GMT" movement 3) At least 100m of WR (preferably a screw-down crown) 4) Extreme versatility - enough polish to be dressy but I should still be able to beat it up and it should be fine. 5) Under the radar (this being the most important characteristic for...let's just say obvious reasons) Given that these were the circumstances, the SBGN003/005 were pretty much the only watches I could think of. I'll most probably go for the 005, because I have more than enough black dials in the collection. Plus, wearing a Grand Seiko, and that too a quartz one at that - it gets attention, sure, but it gets you the right kind of attention that only an enthusiast can give. By the time I do start residency, I should be able to at least have the 005 and the Sinn 104.

[@balesjo]

Two thumbs up for becoming an authorized dealer for Longines! I'd like to add the Longines Flagship Heritage Black Dial to the list of College or Post Grad watches. A classic look that would be great for dressier occasions or business attire. It always catches my eye when I see it. A great watch for parents or grandparents who want to give their grad a nice gift!

I started watch collecting in high school, my first watches were the calculator Casio watch, a Casio edifice, and three models of G shock. In senior high, I got the Itanano Phantom Carbon as a gift. Now in my third year of college I got the Seiko 5 SRPD51 and I absolutely love it. I’m definitely looking to start building my watch collection further from here on out after getting the Seiko 5, it seriously got me to fall in love with watches and for that it will forever be a staple and hold a special place and meaning to me.

[@rodrigosimoes185]

I think this is an important topic. A lot of decisions and time efficiency are required from students and a watch you like can be a token of the way you value Time (more than style!). For my high school senior year I got a beautiful Tissot V8 chronograph to the split second. I wore that watch almost everyday until today, that I'm finishing my masters degree. I'm now the guardian of my father's Omega Speedmaster 145-022-69 pre moon watch, as well as a smart watch I got as a graduation gift. I really feel naked without a watch in my wrist and I repeat, not for fashion style, but for lifestyle. Time costs lives...

[@aslamc9288]

I was a pretty big nerd in high school, all honors and AP classes, debate team, all that stuff-and even I knew wearing a calculator watch was like wearing a shirt that said “Bully me, I won’t fight back”. I wore a Seiko Kinetic in high school and then a Seiko Flightmaster quartz chrono in college. I loved watches, but I didn’t know a lot other than brand names. If I could go back and do it again, I think I would have gotten a Seiko SKX007 and worn that all through college. With college comes a lot of bumps, nudges, spills, and waking up in weird places and positions. Much like the Seiko 5 Sports you mentioned, the SKX was attractive, durable, and had good WR. Could easily survive a keg stand or pub golf tour and do it with a bit of a rugged panache. If I were to do it now, I’d probably go with a Hamilton Field or Seiko Turtle.

I got into watches towards the end of my college years and just like many, had no financial way to back any of my wishes at the time. I remember thinking that Breitling was the pinnacle of watchmaking lol. I was obsessed with busy dials and since Breitling was waaaayyy out of my budget, I was hoping to save enough money one day and get a Citizen World Chronograph. $300 seemed so much money at the time for a watch and I was reading reviews of the watch and people saying how they owned 2-3-4 citizens… they seemed as the biggest watch collectors ever and I thought how cool would it be if i ever owned 3-4 $300 watches… By the time i got enough money to start buying some entry level watches my taste changed with more research so I started buying mostly divers and field watches. Finally this year, I downsized my collection to only 12 watches… looking to get a speedmaster this year

Love the vid, and I hope to get some of these later in life, but out of med school we get paid 30-50,000, usually 40,000 per year for 3-5 years after accumulating 200,000-300,000 in debt, so buying a luxury timepiece usually isn’t an option because majority of finances are lost to various insurances, car payments, mortgage/rent, loan payments, groceries, phone bill, Wi-Fi, etc

Hi! Im a high school student and I love field watches, all of them (but mostly black ones). For context, I have a job it pays 15 USD per hour, working 10 hours a week, and my parents still affording me luxuries like food. Shelter and other things I actually have quick the pocket change, at least more than most people would expect; now, my collection isn't exactly extensive, but it consists of a 20$ Bass Pro Shop Wath (Kinda out there, but to be honest, it was enough to hook me), A Bertucci field watch, most of you probably won't know what that is but its an 80 ish dollar Seiko SRPE67 ripoff that's also quartz, but my latest watch is the Seiko SRPG37 which I got at a discount for 242.5 USD It was an excellent birthday gift I gave myself and id recommend it to anyone that's into as deep as I am. Also, black field watches go with literally everything. It's fantastic.

I’m about to get my associates degree and I’d recommend the calculator watch PERIOD. That calculator has seen a lot more use than I thought

As i graduating college student. I am happy i bought 2 casio watches. This is all i ever need for now.

[@oraclegameplays3083]

Thank you for this video. I am a freshman in highschool and I feel like I am one of the few who wear watches. Your videos helped me choose the Orient Kamasu Green Dial and its great.

[@bradleyjohnE]

I'm glad this video came out. You wouldn't believe how I was telling the time before I knew these options

[@public.archive]

if you’re tight on budget, a seiko is always a no brainer as they will most definitely outlive your “tight budget” status. i bought a vintage 1989 seiko 5 for $25, and it still runs & looks perfectly fine 😂

these new type of macro shots are amazing guys!! great vid!

[@KennyVo120]

I remember, my first watch from highschool to college was a Seiko SNK809 on a frayed up fabric strap. Today I wear a Tudor BB58 to work years after college. Still have the Seiko but on a much better strap (which still looks very handsome! The straps really make the watch).

[@JusTVIDSE]

What type of strap? I'm looking on getting the 805 (green version) and change straps

[@RolfLongreach]

Teddy, I would love to see a video about watches that can be seen in the dark without pushing buttons to light them. I have been searching for a tough watch that can be easily read in low light situations, without breaking the bank, and have not had a lot of luck. ⌚. Thanks appreciate this video and also your great watch band selection!

[@alcaponed16]

I used to have a Casio a few years back with an automatic light. You'd tilt your wrist toward you and the light would come on. I'm sure they still have it but that was for a digital watch of course.

Any G-shock with solar function

[@noellestewart4912]

Im in middle school and I love collecting Seiko and g shock watches as well of baltics

[@wesselromijn078]

16 year old here, thanks for the recomendations. I bought a watch last year which was about 500 euros, its vintage style, but at the momemt im looking to buy one from steel. So these are great recomendations!

[@AdamAfiq-km2zo]

It’s dangerous being a watch enthusiast when that student loan comes in…
