The 12 Best, First Luxury Watches For Beginners!

Jumping from a prx quartz to a gs snowflake is pretty wild for beginners if you ask me.

[@jacksonmahr8915]

I'm old enough to remember when a 'one watch watch collection' was called.....a watch 🙃. (Nice video)

[@FunWithPens]

My first luxury watch was a Black Bay 58. And you did contribute to that choice.

[@JamesMercer-ft5hs]

To answer your question, my first foray into higher levels watches was the Mido OceanStar 200C with a black face and rose gold accents. My wife got it for me while we were on vacation in Germany. Absolutely love the watch!!! That started me on the path to being a moderately priced watch geek. Have added a Seagull 1963 in bronze which I love, a Wise AD8 in bronze with a beautiful green face, and now a Wise GMT in 904L steel that I am eagerly anticipating. As much as I love the higher end watches such as Omega and Role, I find that I am more drawn to some of the amazing microbrands that are now available. Part of it is money, but to be honest I like the idea of supporting these small brands that are doing really cool things vs. supporting a brand that spends more on advertising and sponsoring athletic events. Wise Watches from Thailand truly has amazed me with their quality and their design. There use of 904L steel is also amazing at the price point! I also think a Christopher Ward is in my immediate future, might try their quartz watch as I am out of space in my watch winder.

[@rickjason215]

I have a number of luxury watches and I wear the Snowflake the most. When I bought it, it was when it was first released in the US and I got it much cheaper than it is now. It was my best watch purchase. It is light as a feather and keeps perfect time.

[@wowlsj]

Copy that. GS is nearly incomparable for artistry, quality, and price. My first purchase was the steel laquered version in the 44GS case, but will follow up with the titanium series, having experienced the wonders of titanium in more recent purchases. Great choice!

[@rickjason215]

@wowlsj Teddy Baldasarre did a video about the Spring Drive. It is an amazing invention. It took 20 years to perfect it.

[@erikc3057]

I love my Tissot PRX Quartz! And I have other automatics. With the rubber strap, the Tissot is my go to daily wear.

[@tylerjames646]

I am biased because I own one, but I think the Christopher Ward Trident is another good option for a bit less than the Mido.

[@SpaceManSpiff20001]

Or the sealander

[@AtariDog]

When I first started my watch addiction, I was always drawn to Christopher Ward but couldn't get past the name. It was like the watch equivalent of Ted Baker or Ben Sherman. I can't buy a watch named after another man.

[@ChristopherWardWatches]

We agree, but are also biased.

[@ltsmash1200]

I have a C63 GMT and I love it.

[@EnglishTMTB]

​@@AtariDogLikewise. I can buy a brand named after someone if there's a particular merit to the individual... Say a Carl F Bucherer, for example - a master watchmaker of the past with history behind that name. Christopher Ward being more of a committee style choice became it sounded marketable enough (which iirc is roughly the story) just doesn't inspire me... And if I didn't want an emotional connection, I'd be wearing a basic Casio of some sort instead.

[@ErikL727]

I REALLY don't think you can say a 6.3k or 8.1k Omega is a beginner's watch. Not by a long shot.

[@tonyl7000]

It is considered a beginner watch because GADA watches accomplish the most in one to small watch collections... Someone with a 30 watch collection would have more dedicated pieces (a formal watch, a sports watch, an office watch, a beater, etc) while one watch collections need that one watch to be very very versatile such as an Omega Aqua Terra.

[@signorcroach8369]

Title literally says beginner LUXURY watch, if its cheap it's not luxury.

[@dietergrobler]

It is when you start considering the selection available in the 5 figure price range or even going into the 6 figure price range…but it is all relative. I think everyone has their own “internal” price limit that they will ever spend on a watch and if that limit stops at 5 figures, then yes, you are correct a 6-8k watch is at the top end…

[@gavinwhite9743]

I know a lot of friends my age, late forties, going out to buy first luxury watch. They don't start on anything cheap or unknown, straight to Rolex Omega. Not going to be collectors, so just want to drop some money on a brand they know. My first watch was a Speedmaster, although I have since bought a Rolex. Not that uncommon and why faff about with cheaper lesser known brands? Buy a couple of nice pieces and move on.

[@buzzicon3712]

La ragazza comunque ha presentato anche il Kaki e il Seagull. Le riconosco un certo gusto.

[@WillSavage]

Thank you for recommending Mido, they are seriously underrated.

[@MvG84]

absolutely, though I would recommend the Oceanstar 200C instead of the 600, as they suit a more wearable size than the pretty chunky 600.

[@bigbearddahuzi1036]

The Mido video itself was a bit shit. It was like they were scared to let people have a good look at the watch and did a bunch of violent jump transitions every time you got a glimpse of the watch. The only thing you could get a good look at in that vid was the male model

[@johnny_bravo9990]

All Omega white dials are gorgeous. Seamaster 300, aqua terra, Snoopy, the one you showed.

[@WatchesCanBeFun]

Quartz is so underrated for new watch people, I find it’s hard to get newcomers used to having a watch on their wrist and even harder if they have to worry about what winding it means.

[@creedor]

They have poor resale value if any.

[@WillSavage]

@@creedorthat's something which is only considered by proper enthusiasts. For newcomers, this is very far down the list of things they take into account when buying a first watch. The primary considerations for newcomers are likely to be size, design, price, comfort, brand and versatility.

My first luxury watch was a Longines Hydroconquest 39mm. Since then I've moved on but I highly recommend it as a versatile and functional Swiss piece. My second was a Yema Superman GMT which I still have in my rotation. An underrated brand in my opinion.

[@larryscott3982]

I acquired a 1965 Rolex OP (1570) in 1980. So that’s one and done. A bit common, uncomplicated, but properly maintained 1” per day. It’s a no brainer. Although current maintenance costs are more than I paid for it, it’s my everything watch

[@lonewolfemcquade8133]

First watch back in the 90s was a Seiko 7A28-7110 pvd coated. First luxury semi luxury watch was a Heuer Coral 980 026 Monnin thick also pvd coated. First luxury watch was a Rolex Submariner 14060m in 2003 and its been a faithful companion ever since

[@daniellehotsky1776]

Love Junghans Max Bill. For me best choice from this list as for beginners.

[@morgan97475]

Love the Omega AT.

[@thatguy6111]

I loved mine but it got the boot once I realized the high polished center links scratch just looking at them. I’m all for wearing my watches and them picking up signs of wear but the center links stand proud of the outer links and seems like it touches everything within two miles of your wrist.

[@morgan97475]

@@thatguy6111 I had wondered about that. I think I'd wear it no the rubber strap for that reason....plus the rubber strap looks pretty good, too.

[@thatguy6111]

@@morgan97475 It was a “never meet your hero’s” type of feeling for me. I wanted it so bad, then it never failed to let me down. I sold it and picked up a rail master second hand and a Christopher Ward Sealander. I got most of the same look from the CW and still had a coaxial Omega with the rail master. The rail master is undervalued by miles and miles.

[@LauraKnotek]

And besides those I wear a SKMEI - Shir Kuh Mei - "Beautiful Moments in Time". (粤, 闽, 客). 1123 digital retro watch. Which is perfect.

I’d like to get another one or two in different colors. Absolutely beautiful watch and very affordable. Around $500’ish.

[@varanid9]

I've been getting into quartz lately. The Grand Seiko quartz movement has just as good workmanship as their mechanicals, and the accuracy is phenomenal. I also have a Seiko Arnie and its solar quartz movement is sooooo convenient. My Seiko 300 meter Tuna 7549-7010 has a fascinating movement: essentially, the 6309 mechanical from the original Turtle converted to quartz power. I always laugh when I hear watch people complain about "lack of innovation" in a watch industry that worships obsolete tech; quartz IS the innovation.

[@quadeappenheimer8135]

That was a big jump from quartz prx to grand seiko spring drive haha love the content :)

[@RobinzineCurley]

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.

[@GreenFlamingo]

I understood the approach of wildly varying prices. Just because you’re new to luxury doesn’t mean you don’t have funds. This has something for everyone.

[@thiagofurtado1037]

Got the PRX automatic and wore it for 1 year before buying my Omega SMP 300 green dial. It's an unbelievable jump in quality and since I got the SMP300 it got 100% of my wrist time. Such a versatile watch, it goes with everything, the bracelet makes sense after you start wearing it. I'm planning on getting the deployant rubber strap for more versatility and then thinking on my next watch. The moonwatch in white dial is awesome but the bracelet feels like a stretched out old rolex. The other option would be an explorer 40mm.

[@drewpanipinto8539]

My first was a Hamilton Intra-Matic Automatic Chrono (Panda), and I absolutely adore it. Heuer Chronos from the 60's are grail watches for me so the Hamilton has been a perfect "first" watch.

[@ellysemakula]

got my 39mm with the white dial on the 3-link "Bader" bracelet watch on MaMaCoo 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.

[@pf2264]

Good video , however i was very surprised by the absence of any Oris models?

[@EliDeuce]

I am not a big fan of Oris’ offerings for men. In many instances, I think CW offers just as much watch for less money. OTOH, I think that Oris makes some very appealing watches for women. Wife has an Aquis - has the practicality of an automatic dive watch in a relatively small case (and subtle wrist presence). She also has a Big Crown Pointer Date automatic. Small and very feminine, but also very practical (100 M WR, screw down crown, pointer date complication, deployant clasp on leather strap, display caseback).

[@TheKoukimonstar]

My first luxury watch was a Omega Planet Ocean. I love the way it looks and have been given many compliments on the watch. It was a tough choice between this or the Speedy, I think I will eventually get a speedy in my journey for a 3 watch collection.

[@Kinegos]

Lovely video! My first one was a Seamaster 300 M. I’ve had it longer than most of my other watches that have come and gone in the meantime and I think I probably always will keep it. I also have added a black bay 58 and a Cartier Santos XL, which is stunning.

[@robertolesen2349]

I have been watching too many watch channels lately and bought a Seagull 1963 chronograph so I have 3 watches in total. (The others being a 1967 Omega Constellation and an Srxmod Casio Ae1200.) The listed watches in this video pretty much hit my wish list spot on. Longines Spririt Gmt and Junghans Max Bill handaufzug are two of my favorite watches, with a GS spring drive Shunbun being the grail watch in case I get the chance to visit Japan again. I am also considering a 35mm Tissot Prx. I am not sure how you managed to match this list to my taste this accurately, maybe having lived in Germany in 2017 influenced me...

[@Lllkkkll]

My luxury watch is a Rolex oyster perpetual. I was actually thinking of getting an omega constellation at that time, but Rolex holds up it’s value as compared to Omega watches so I went with Rolex and never regretted it. Now, I can’t believe how the price of Rolex watches has gone up…

[@dcooper701]

omega diver 300 is fantastic and wears well for me at 6'4". going for the the 42 zulu time gmt in blue next.

[@trautman3375]

I've had that Mido OS 600 - Two major issues with it and why I eventually sold it: 1) crown spring is waaaay too firm, it can actually push the crown out if you don't screw it in really-really, I mean REALLY hard. Otherwise it can come out unnoticed in a week or two and it's not a nice surprise when you notice that during washing your hands 2) the wobbly spring-loaded bezel - naturally the bezel protects the case and the glass from accidental hits. But when your thick bezel is wobbly spring-loaded like on this one, an accidental bump to something can reach the glass. Like it happened to me. Never again spring-loaded bezels.

[@ianforber]

It depends whether it’s a first and potentially only watch or a conscious start of a collection. Good to have a range of budgets too as not everyone is starting to get into watches when they don’t have much money. I have the Explorer 1 and the blue dial Aqua Terra and both are excellent everyday watches. I’d add in the Cartier Santos or Tank. Personally I’d go for the quartz versions. Tag Heuer Carrera also a good choice. Plenty of microbrand GMTs out there - I like Farer. Any Longines has to be a good choice at the moment as they are putting out some fantastic watches, including the Zulu Time.

[@1RunnerDad]

Totally agree on the speedy. Love it. Prefer it to the black dial. But these are pretty spendy for "beginner" lux watches. I guess you didn't put a price limit on what you meant, tho.

I bought my first luxury watch a month ago-a second-hand Tudor Black Bay 58 in navy blue-after saving my salary from a 4-month internship, which was part of my graduate studies. Frankly, I have no regrets. It's lighter than I expected, but it feels incredibly robust. I often find myself fiddling with the bezel, which always amuses my friends. Also, compared to my old daily, a ZRC from the 70s I must say that the shine of the luminova amazed me ! Since it's not a Rolex (at least not completely), it doesn't attract too much attention on the street, which is great because it allows me to wear it every day without worries. after all, no one expects to see a $3k watch on the wrist of a 19-year-old !

Recommending the Planet Ocean over the SMP300 is so insane and crazy to be honest, especially to a first time luxury buyer. I have an 8" wrist and that thing is so insanely heavy and comically big.

Their bracelet's are perfectly fine. It's just a matter of taste. It's like comparing steel to titanium. Of course the latter does feel 'cheap' to some people but there's absolutely no logical point to consider titanium worse than steel (besides the known differences in weight and scratch resistance). Same goes for the GS bracelets imho. They don't feel as solid and rigid as an Oyster bracelet from Rolex for example. But this doesn't mean that they are worse in terms of quality. The have a lot more flex but are therefore even more comfortable to wear, especially in titanium. But yeah, I would also welcome GS to release their sports / dive watches on more rigid bracelets so that we customers have at least a choice. They let us decide between their different movement types and between stell and titanium but they don't give us a choice in terms of bracelets.
