Picking the BEST Watches for Different Personas - (Clubber, Stealth Wealth, Hypebeast, & MORE)

[@adambig6118]

The jump from 290 to 36800 hurt my knees 🤣🤣🤣

[@doctoralgy8186]

Embarrassingly, being a total watch newbie myself that I almost ended up sticking with a Michael Kors, a Vincero, and possibly a Fossil....now I am a proud owner of a Citizen Brycen, Orient Kamasu, and a gorgeous black Seiko 5. I feel good.

[@humblewiz4953]

*your collection is incomplete without a Casio*

[@Mebble]

Great collection!

[@pseitrends1435]

Is oreint even good?

[@lachlanbrown409]

These can't be sold. What's the point? Just get one good watch Omega, JLC, IWC, Breitling all offer second hand affordability. I like Teddy but he lies in saying cheap watches are worth buying new. There's no resale. When you want a real watch your money just disappears.

[@EthanRom]

@@pseitrends1435 the Bambino is a great Orient watch

[@zhicaofang2354]

This video demonstrates why the channel is one of the top-subscribed watch channels in KZbin. Teddy literally strives to satisfy as wide an audience as possible and present contents that could be digested by the most varied group of potential watch buyers. Love that he also includes himself as one of the personality LOL

[@pk1342]

When you've been a qualified physician in the UK for 10 years and the most you can afford is the stretch student option 🤣

[@pk1342]

For those interested I went for the sarx047 😎

[@Vattiis_Happonnen]

Better a late comment than never - beautiful choice, and all the best. Come to Canada!

[@TonySutherland]

I would’ve picked Nomos for the hipster stretch. Many hipsters are minimalists. Resence is a bit more of a nerdy watch IMO (which would’ve been a cool personality type).

[@Patrick_B687-3]

I think you would be right in that Tony, but it’s so well known now, I feel like it’s almost becoming Passé with them. They need something lesser known to the punters when sipping their Lattes. 😂

[@perudolux]

I wanted to comment the same..nomos definitely for a hipster

[@TonySutherland]

@@Patrick_B687-3 True Dat.

[@TonySutherland]

[@TonySutherland]

@@martinnoberpal4552 Agree to disagree. Ciao.

[@brianm3160]

I love this series Edit: I wish you could include a spreadsheet with the links and names and prices

[@siongheeleong8078]

For the student, you missed the elephant in the room - Swatch. The Swatch Irony Sistem51 is a good automatic watch for prices ranging from US$150 to $250 each. Some designs are sober, some are more youthful. Usually comes with a centre seconds hand but there are some models that come with small seconds dial at 6 o'clock position. The Sistem51 is also a horological marvel of engineering. 51 parts, of which 1 is a screw (and the only one), make up the movement, automatic winding, and has a power reserve of 90 hours.

[@dustin9100]

I feel like the seiko 5s are a good option for students also.

[@AmigoCarlitoo]

Just wanted to ask, not ironically, if you have seen them in real life. I was fond of them but in real life big disapointment! Too big, too thick and overall a feeling of "cheap"

[@siongheeleong8078]

@@AmigoCarlitoo Yes, I have seen the Swatch Irony Sistem51 and tried a few. It's not that thick. It is light due to use of plastics but it does have some metal.

[@CrueKnight]

Orient Bambino was definitely a student watch over the Hamilton Khaki due to the affordability and having a date complication.

[@pumaRAWR1]

Yes, I doubt many students will survive without that juicy date complication

[@CrueKnight]

@@pumaRAWR1 yeah, when I was a student, I was so burnt tired when I had to date my assignments I forgot the date multiple times through the same day. It just helps being right there on the wrist in school or in the office.

[@JJ-zr6fu]

Date complication are so useful as a student I sold a watch because it didn't have the date.

[@cornelius6616]

Timex Expedition North Mechanical could also take its place

[@Patrick_B687-3]

Excellent choices in all categories, and yes do this again. Lots of room for expansion on each type, and it was fun.

[@sharpe8888]

I think most of these had a touch of class, reflective of Teddy

[@UGA.D]

The Royal Oak should be under the Hype Beast category. The Media Pro should have an Aqua Terra. You nailed the Meathead category.

[@anthonyperry3699]

Great idea for a video! New idea. Maybe a video breaking down sports watches for different types of sports. Swimming, sailing, lifting, bowling, golf, mathletics,chest player, family gam night (Uno!)

[@E-jit]

Out of curiosity, what would you pick for an Uno watch?

[@anthonyperry3699]

@@E-jit Just one :-)

[@anthonyperry3699]

Actually, I think the Timex Todd Snyder Mod Grey Red

[@bazadam6635]

Love this!!! Let me give it a try - But I will do my list not taking into consideration any budget :D The Romantic - Zenith Elite Moonphase Ok you know what let me do it for both kind of budget damn it The Romantic - Seiko Presage Cocktail Nightsky and Zenith Elite Moonphase The Clubber - Tissot Prx P80 Blue Dial and Hublot Classic Fusion The Meathead - Gshock MTG-B2000B-1A2 and G-Shock MRG G2000G-1A The Hipster - Not too sure about that one Hypebeast - Casio Oak and Any Richard Mille tbh Stealth Wealth - Grand Seiko SBGX261 and JLC Polaris Chronograph I Got a Great Deal - Citizen Pro Master Tough and Longines Spirit Stereotypical Rich Guy - Omega Aqua Terra and Any AP The Student - Seiko 5 and Tissot Gentleman Powermatic

[@lisbetsoda4874]

Thank you

[@simply_psi]

Teddy you nailed this one except the Clubber, I would say a clubber would go for one of the bright coloured G-Shocks for entry price maybe the Casioak Rubik Cube watch with the white case and the high end would be something like a Jacob & Co Ghost Color, I just can't see a clubber wearing a gold colour Tissot dress watch.

[@saadamjad87]

The MoonSwatch would be a good budget piece for the hypebeast persona

[@BoozewithNick]

Fun, fun, fun! I really enjoy these pick-by-persona videos, this was a great way to start a Saturday morning. For the meathead I think a Tissot 2000m OceanStar would work, they’re big and masculine. You could just as easily put a U1 on him. I’m surprised you skipped Richard Mille for the hypebeast, but it makes sense if you only wanted to cover real watches, as opposed to trashy novelties. For the student, those were great choices, I would throw in an Orient “diver”, I’m partial to the Mako and Ray II. I agree with another comment I see here, I think a Bauhaus-influenced German brand like a Nomos or Junghans would be spot-on. And for the romantic, I think the Orient moon phase was great, at a higher but still very attainable price, I would suggest a Dekla deck watch. Great stuff, Teddy. And I really like the brown sport coat, sharp.

[@josiah566]

I feel like any owner of Richard Mille is in a stereotype all to their own (name TBC) along with Hublot, Invicta etc. Gonzo enthusiasts?

[@naveenkataria661]

Gr8 video as always Teddy, thanks. The "Stealth wealth" category was very interesting and your choice of the HMC apple watch was beyond delightful. I would have included the Cartier Santos Dumont or the Tank in it.

[@05Rudey]

I was a 2 watch man for the best part of 15 years, A G-Shock that I wore pretty much all of the time and a Tag Heuer pro 2000 for smart casual. Now all I want in another watch to met every situation and for every mood.

[@pascal3379]

Hey man! If you have the money to spend, I'd suggest a classic Datejust model like the 116200. Lots of great options, fits every mood and style.

[@josiah566]

GADA watches are tricky, but the Hamilton Khaki Field, Tissot chronographs, Seiko Presage, Omega Aqua Terra etc are all pretty good affordable options, can take a beating, look good in all straps (Nato/fabric, metal, leather) and go with pretty much any outfit or activity (except the most extreme casual/formal settings eg extreme sports or a black tie event) if you pick something with a timeless/throwback design.

[@davidhori4899]

There's not enough "fun" in watches these days. Excellent video!

[@Jabodie]

That orient sun and moon is beautiful... on my must buy list

[@axgreenious9400]

The Ressence watch company make the coolest watches. Every time I view a picture or video of Ressence watches, takes me back to the early 1990's of compasses (the way the curve and dial interacted was so cool) you could attach to the dashboard of your vehicle. Saving to buy a Ressence timepiece.... may take 10 years.

[@mtpruden]

I can’t help it I love the Ressence 3BB. I just find it so unusual and understated looking. The watch industry has been so traditional and it’s worked but I like weird

[@E-jit]

I love it too but it would drive me mad trying to tell the time in a hurry, haha.

[@ashleyslingers2814]

Literally picked up the 35mm Gold PVd PRX yesterday. For me it’s my 80s gangster movie lol watch. Love it

[@DFVerner]

Teddy, awesome video man! Honestly your brown sport coat was my fav part of the video! What kind of coat is it??

[@mohsinrao4334]

Nomos club ref 701 for student category. I have one and I can’t get enough of it!

[@mehdi6053]

Absolutely loved how you put everything into perspective, it was you’re best video hands down 😊😊

[@corbanallen4116]

This is one of the best watch videos I've seen on YT in awhile. Good work, Teddy!

[@DionStabber]

I think you've missed it with the clubber, the clubber should have something with crazy lume that will light up on the dance floor

[@gasautomotive]

I am a big raver I'm saving up for a Ball marvelight caring edition

[@TeddyBaldassarre]

My home body self might have been out of my depth on that one haha. Didn’t think about the lume angle as that sounds more like the rave.

[@alexanderradetsky6994]

I respectfully disagree - I think the PRX Gold PVD is an excellent choice. I bought one recently and it really is a subtly flashy watch. Many people wear their Rolex’s out so the PRX is different enough that it stands out, and if you scratch it up it’s “only” $450 (I acknowledge that’s a lot, but relative to others it’s a bargain.

[@DionStabber]

@@TeddyBaldassarre I bought one of my friends a dive watch and his face immediately lit up when he saw the lume and said "I can't wait to wear this to the club!". I'm with you on lack of experience, the last time I saw the inside of a club was in about May 2019 ahaha

[@gasautomotive]

@@alexanderradetsky6994 But for clubbing or the rave scene I think you have to take into consideration what it will look like when the lights go out, or the black lights come on, You won't be able to see the watch only the loom

[@sean.anderson]

Great video! I'm new to Ressence watches, looking forward to learning more about them. I definitely fit into the romantic category in personas.

[@typebflieger]

I’m happy to see you guys are now using a backlight to avoid the “floating head” look during night shoots!

[@stugoldsmith6388]

you missed the adventurer category. Someone who wants a tool watch and will go do some scuba diving, mountain climbing, camping, hunting, triathlon, visits Antarctica, hunting and fishing in extreme environments, someone who jumps out of airplanes (shock), someone who spends ocasional time in magnetic environments, pressure environments, dirty-filthy environments, saltwater environments - and wants to be able to read the analog time in the darkest conditions.

[@Hnair1982]

Great content again. And I do see myself fitting in a couple of those categories depending on the savings available. Ironically, both the Datejust 41 as well as the Calatrava, are not readily available. Been waiting to hear from the AD for pass 11 months

[@robertcancellare6137]

Of your ‘list’ videos, these are some of the more entertaining. I’ve come to look forward to your changing opinions over time, both with changes in the industry and consumers.

[@RATBONES8]

A delightful angle to different personalities of collectors!

[@TitanG6569]

That orient sun and moon. Perfect self gift for 2023

[@mad0uche]

That no bezel rotating watch is pretty insane

[@meshaalismail]

Very fun video. Should do more of these Love the list, persona and price based videos

[@kirtah7]

Damn that was such a twist, I assumed Teddy would put himself in the hipster category and then the new personality "watch media pro" drops.

[@AustinBachman]

I'd have gone with vintage for the hipster, probably an old Timex marlin

[@a3l0e0x3]

Has the PRX 35mm already been released? Can' t find it on the german Tissot website

[@Watchtrain]

Oh, the irony! I am a meathead AND own a Safari Arnie (Safarnie) and a Panerai. The Safari sand colors give it a patina look that stand out nicely with black so I wear it on the standard black Seiko Arnie style dive strap. I also have a PAM112, because I'm a purist meathead that can't be bothered with tracking intervals - iron or nothing and cardio is for skinny people. I really enjoyed your selections here and the presentation. I particularly appreciate your ability to poke fun at yourself. That is Cleveland humility at its finest. Don't ever lose it. Well done!

[@chrisgrieves1468]

Good fun, enjoyed this. An aside though: why does everyone talk Hamilton Khaki Field Mechanical when the Automatic is more versatile and cheaper? Better looking too, in my eyes. Had one for many years, it's a keeper in a collection with wildly more expensive pieces.

[@360Turn]

Pretty sure the auto is more expensive actually I have one too, it’s great

[@anthonyuchello2031]

A student with a Hamilton Khaki got it as a gift from their grandmother. A more realistic purchase on a student budget would be a Timex Waterbury.

[@E-jit]

Or Marlin.

[@philipbjorkman8879]

I am a student and i just a few weaks ago bought my first watch. Tissot seastar 1000 powermatic 80 in black. I am very happy with it so far.

[@kentan8536]

Nice work, a very balance approached.

[@rcsims313]

Orient Bambino should've been in the student #2 slot. No way can a student afford a $500 hamilton. Bambino would look better when they did an office internship or interview as well

[@nickthequick]

This was one of your most enjoyable videos, well done.

[@mdlouie]

This was fun. If you do another video in this style, I would love to hear your choices for a musician; perhaps some unique considerations there. Thanks for all the content sir!

being on youtube for 10 over years, I have only commented twice and this is the third. I love this series 🔥🔥🔥

[@vitoy147]

Well I think i have split watch people in my brain as I like at least a watch from each persona! Excellent video

[@vitoy147]

We forgot the Scammer Persona! Wears fake watches

[@tisithecount4198]

“I got a deal” is a midwestern play and could apply to multiple categories

[@augusteelder6483]

Enjoyed this. Another category: The Artisan. We're talking about the highly skilled maker who is accustomed to using their hands for their livelihood, has a strong sense of design, and appreciates craftsmanship and aesthetic ethos. They seek that which floats between tool watch, and something that exudes sophistication, and aren't afraid of patina. They also love a good origin story where mass production yields to limited runs, and time-honored, slow methods of handwork are prioritized over strictly machine-punched commodities.

[@SniperKing029]

A day date Royal Oak would be my grail watch.

[@vegaswithfreddy]

as a clubber i was hoping you'd mention something that glows, great selections though.

[@chadmagnifici2347]

Here's what I own (one for each category) Clubber: Seiko Lord Chronograph gold - cheap, super flashy, looks like gold Daytona and I won't care if I get robbed in club. Meat head: Casio F91W Hipster: Seiko Presage SSA411J1 with see-through dial. Stealth Wealth: Omega Seamaster 300M Hypebeast: *Rolex DateJust 2 41mm in gold-steel, fluted bezels, on Oyster bracelet. * I got a great deal: Rado Diaster Original with diamonds and Longines Hydro Conquest

[@Max.Effect]

I think you missed the adventurer persona : hiking, sailing, diving. And maybe the real formal one : classic, serious. Great video like always 👌

[@brendenhayes6099]

My go-to as a “meathead” is anything Casio G-Shock, but the Arnie watch is very cool and I approve of the choice

[@ScathingMobile]

I was expecting to see an activity-focused smartwatch like a Suunto or Garmin. But the Arnie also fits for someone who just wants a watch, as does the Panerai made famous by Stallone.

[@JJ-zr6fu]

Since he threw out the budget on the meathead it should've been a Richard Mille

[@samuelcortez7609]

The arnie was a nice choice for the meat head for the size/bulkyness. I thought that the G shock would be in that category as well. Preferably the casioak for its shock resistance when slayin and bangin the weights and the water resistance from sweating. The casioak is not the biggest in size but it is a good thing when you are working out, its less irritation on the wrist on certain types of workouts. I was on the fence about the arnie but now I want to get it.

[@LNYuiko]

I feel called out. 😂- Tissot PRX Gold 35mm

[@razeredge8713]

I picked up a Seiko Arnie as my new work watch. Loving it so far.

[@PepperGeorge]

I had high hopes for this video, but it didn't answer what kind of watch collector I am. I bought I swiss automatic LIV Rebel-AC watch, which I think is the best value without spending tons of money, looks great, and I can't stop trying it out with different watch bands, I have different French leather for formal settings, plaid and wool for hipster scenarios, nylon NATO for everyday wear, synthetic bands for cool clubbing looks, textile bands for just plain fun. WHO AM I lol....

[@roddunne]

Fun video Teddy - good to see/hear. Love the watch you're wearing (== vintage Omega Constellation?). Stretch hipster could be a mashup - GS Spring Drive movement transplanted into an Invicta case made out of recycled trombones. Same for Stealth Wealth ;). And the Hype Beast would have _all_ the SwatchOmega planet watches, linked together and worn as a trouser belt.

[@Larbis]

As a student I approve this message. Watched the video with A168 vintage gray (A168WEGG-1BEF) on my wrist :)

[@jamesvass498]

Great video. Very light and fun, especially seeing TB poking fun at himself. Entertaining watch. Thanks 😊

[@AR-zr1om]

I'm a soldier (combat medic) my collection is a boldr field medic for in work, tudor black bay 36 for every day and an omega deville from 1958 for formal functions plus I have a classic £10 casio for when it gets rough. Really want a nomos ahoi but my wrists are too small for their mad lugs

[@markikn3183]

That last segment is basically Teddy telling his fiancée what he wants as a wedding present 😁😁😁

[@jolness1]

Something to note about the Ressence is the oil filled module doesn’t require service hardly ever according to Ressence and it uses a common ETA base (2824 or 2892 depending on the version) so the service can be done by a local watchmaker easily. It merges the great things about mass market customer calibers without sacrificing some really interesting in-house watchmaking. Plus they’re super cool, the 90s “running seconds” is tough to get used to though. Had the opportunity to borrow one for a few days and.. I personally fell in love. 🍻

[@petterasklund1356]

[@justinlowe337]

Loved the video. I didn't know where I'd land until I saw the watches and I made note of the Orient Sun and Moon, Seiko "Arnie" because it looked wonky, and finally the G Shock because it's a great casual watch. I am low on budget but like fun watches that are easy to read.

[@jamesroth2898]

Thanks for another entertaining window into Horology. I noticed that Omega Constellation on your wrist. The same one you showed when Hugo interviewed you. I just want you know I feel in love with it too and found one on, of all places, Etsy! It was offered by a watch shop in St Louis with a good reputation, so I bought it.

[@robertmorano2372]

I was just having a similar kind of conversation with a buddy of mine. He works at patek in NYC and is also my neighbor, so we get to geek out on watches quite a bit. He said all of their watchmakers wear Casios and Seiko's. He travels into the city every day using mass transit. We got on the topic of the "ultimate beautiful watch" for this scenario. Especially with the current situations in the city. It makes a strong argument for any grand Seiko. (My specific pick was the snow flake). I know they are up in price, but so is everything. But, you get a beautiful time piece in every sense of the word that you get to experience every day that doesn't cause the attention of wearing a Rolex say, on the subway. It says Seiko on the dial. In a way, the argument against grand seiko has become the argument for a grand Seiko. The "need" to explain what it is to anyone who asks or wants to look at it. "It's a Seiko, but not any Seiko". "You see, grand Seiko is the highest level, with history, hand made, beautifully constructed dials, finishing on par with watches costing 10 times", so on and so on. No one will really care, except us watch nerds.

It has Swiss movement but made in China to keep cost down. It is a good value watch and is gaining in popularity. Surprised it didn't make your list.
