I would never take a nice watch out in the field. I would recommend a cheap casio Forester for guys that go out in the forest.

[@StellarBlue1]

I am an older guy that got turned on to Seiko's when I was in the U.S. Army overseas in the 1960s. The base exchanges had all types and makes of watches. Even on Army pay, I could afford a nice Hamilton or Omega. However, when I saw my first Seiko Automatic, I was hooked. The quality and materials were excellent, especially for the reasonable price. It is still the same today, over 50 years later. With a Seiko, you get a lot of BANG for the BUCK!

Hi Cody. A diver's bezel is in fact used only keep track of bottom time. Reference a dive chart prior to going down and based upon the depth of your dive, you may have 15-40 minutes of bottom time to avoid decompression stops and especially nitrogen narcosis or even worse, the 'bends', which is when you can develop evolved gases (small bubbles) in your tissues and joints.

I spent 50$ on a g-shock. It survived a claymore explosion when it fell off during a training exercise in the Army. Its been drowned in mud, and I would swim in lakes with it. Still works.

[@itsalgud1459]

Cody, this was an excellent review and history of your watches. I’m glad you found your grail watch. It’s hard to beat a Seiko! One little thing I’d like to mention, the use of the bezel on a dive watch. I also thought it was supposed to be used as you described, until recently when I found a video done by a diver which clarified it for me. The correct way to use it, and this makes sense, is to decide how much time you’re going to dive, subtract that number from 60, and set that number at the minute hand. This way the minute hand counts down until it gets to the marker on the bezel. Most dive watches don’t have lump on the bezel, except for on the marker. So you know you’re out of time when the minute hand gets to the illuminated marker. Thanks again for an excellent video with a lot of great information and for being transparent that this is just your preference! 👍

When I was 11 or so I really wanted a good watch. My parents were worried I would lose it lol. After finally persuading them, I got the Casio wr100m twin sensor. Now I'm 17, and I still wear it.

A good watch with a long history is always the best watch. I have had my (issued by AF) Seiko dive watch (analog) for almost 35 years. It has been treated rough having hundreds of freefall and regular jumpes, low and slow helicopter deployments (sometimes high and fast), dove deep and swam unknown miles. I don't wear it often now but it "keeps on ticking" (to steel a phrase). I swear by the solid strap and the watch has stayed with me with only one pin several times. When my watch goes to one of my grandsons I hope he keeps it ticking. Thanks for reminding me to tell them what the watch has been to me.

[@93hickey]

Hey Cody, Divers have guages to tell them how much air they have left. A dive watch is used to ensure you aren't absorbing too much nitrogen into your bloodstream (because of the high pressure environment) which can cause "the bends" when you resurface.

[@darthvader8433]

I've got a Seiko Kinetic divers watch, known by collectors as the BFK. It came with the stainless band, I don't like those rubber/silicone ones either. Wasn't expensive. The kinetic watches are sort of a hybrid between auto and quartz. It has weights in it which charge a tiny battery, and the battery drives a quartz movement with a 6 month (no wearing) power reserve. Accuracy is typical Seiko Quartz. Not for someone with a small wrist though.

[@TheSpritz0]

That was my first watch EVER (Casio G-Shock) in grade 9 I got one for my birthday!! I had the stainless steel, and I STILL have it in my watch box!

[@Sixcats4ksu]

Thanks for aging yourself with this video! I thought you were around my age. I’m a locomotive engineer and railroad-approved watches are required still to this day and I use a old Seiko which is bulletproof.

[@bennefesh1709]

The reason for the extra flap on the 4 ring natos is that when you pick up your watch from the short end of the strap the watch cannot slide off the strap. This is possible especially with heavy divers. So it's really a feature for safety while putting your watch on or picking it up. You can also hang it up on a nail by the buckle and the watch will be held fast.

[@mikedesen7053]

Not to miss is the suunto brand, the dutch commandos use them. Must be a great watch.

[@climbingnurse]

You gotta take a look at the G-Shock AWG-M100-1ACR. I just picked it up as my "work watch". G-shock toughness, classic look, less of the noise and nonsense than stuff like the mud masters, solar powered, and sets itself automatically to the atomic clock every night. I love it!

The watch I currently use is the g shock mudmaster gwg 1000 1a3 It’s honestly the best watch I’ve ever owned. I just have a hard time viewing a $2000 watch as a budget minded watch.

Omega Planet Ocean - Accept no substitute. Guaranteed to give you "the fizz", Cody. (BTW - I believe the Brits pronounce it "Omeega", with a long "e".) As always, thanks for sharing. Steve

[@claypigeon001]

stuff you are correct on our pronunciation Steve..Omeega is how we say it in the UK 🇬🇧

[@ckm-mkc]

They are overpriced IMHO and like most Swiss watches these days, they are made by Swatch (who also own ETA)

[@stellarpod]

ck m: To suggest that an Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean has anything in common with Swatch is laughable. The Co-Axial chronometer movement is an *in-house* movement and, by all accounts, is one of the very best, most robust automatic movements on the planet. Expensive? Yeah, I'll give you that. It's very expensive. But, to try and equate it to a Swatch watch is absurd. Steve

[@ckm-mkc]

www.swatchgroup.com/brands_and_companies - read it and weep - Swatch has owned Omega for decades and Omega movements are nothing more than modified (some more than others) ETA movements, which Swatch also owns. I personally don't think that there's anything wrong with that, but you can get other watches with ETA movements made by the Swatch group that are equally good and much cheaper, like Mido, Longines or Hamilton. Inside, they are all essentially the same, with ETA or ETA-based movements (yes, I've restored more than one...). There are a very, very small number of movement makers left, with ETA (owned by Swatch) being the biggest - but as of 2016, they have stopped selling to non-Swatch brands. And of all the major, well known watch makers, only Rolex makes all parts of their movement in house (also overpriced IMHO).

[@stellarpod]

ck m: So, according to you, the Omega Co-Axial 9300 movement is nothing more than a "modified ETA movement". Really? Can you cite some evidence of this? Can you point me to any ETA movement that shares the same architecture, or another watch of any label that uses remotely the same movement? And finally, I challenge you to cite a single ETA movement that is "equally good" as the 9300 movement. School me. Steve

Though I did have to have it serviced after about a year ago, as some element of it became magnetized and it would not keep time. I sent it back to Omega, and it has worked fine for the past year or so, without needing winding and it keeps near perfect time. I reset it about once every 2 months.

[@peteglanton9259]

And get it serviced every 2 years by the sound of it 😁

[@petedavis8701]

My Omega cost more to service than my Mercedes or my wife’s Porsche! Just saying, be prepared

[@limited40]

Good point Pete.

[@petesjk]

The Omega in the video is relatively simple compared to Omega watches made today, or even 25 years ago.

[@anomnomnomnivore1350]

I didn’t think it’d cost that much...

[@RussellGilder]

@@anomnomnomnivore1350 service for an Omega runs about $1K US.

[@kidthorazine]

@@RussellGilder yeah for a modern one, for vintage ones you can have them serviced by a local watchmaker for considerably less. It's not like it's under warranty or anything at this point.

[@blueriomedina1209]

This was a well thought out produce video👍👍 I too love Seikos watches they are my favorites I own several models I love their simplicity and toughness. Thank you.

[@nrbrown5985]

I’ve always liked watches, but I got really into watches this year. I needed another expensive hobby like I needed a hole in the head. 😂 But I love it! Actually, now that I think of it, I was watching one of your videos earlier this year and saw your Tuna on an orange NATO strap. That’s what got me looking at watches again. I’ll blame you for my new sickness!

[@neilpiper9889]

I have an Omega 266 from 1954 for occasional dress use, weddings funerals birthdays etc. My everyday toughest of all watches is my Vostok Amphibia. Both have lucite/acrylic crystals which can be polished if scratched, unlike the hardlex on my Seiko which I scratched in the first week I had it and can't be fixed.

[@willk5413]

Is that Seiko the 940 of your watches? :)

[@jordanponath109]

My Suunto Core has by far been the best watch ive owned, whether in the military, working outdoors or going out with the lady. It looks great and performs beyond my expectations.

[@hotelkilo006]

So how about the ending to that Coyote video..........?

[@hotelkilo006]

oh damn, when did he say that? Must not have caught it.

[@Matthew-mq6fz]

KZbin didn't nuke anything, he just never killed a coyote.

[@Matthew-mq6fz]

Brian Miller Yeah I saw that, but he lied. Why would they take down his video, single him out, but there are thousands of hunting videos up on KZbin? He didn't kill anything, that's why there never was a part 2, and he just decided to blame KZbin instead of saying 'No luck today, guys.' If KZbin really had taken down his video, you can bet there'd be a 'Furious Rant' video in response. The sad thing is, WS makes his living off KZbin, but decides to use them as a scapegoat for things like this...

[@richwalkins]

Hi Cody. A diver's bezel is in fact used only keep track of bottom time. Reference a dive chart prior to going down and based upon the depth of your dive, you may have 15-40 minutes of bottom time to avoid decompression stops and especially nitrogen narcosis or even worse, the 'bends', which is when you can develop evolved gases (small bubbles) in your tissues and joints.

[@shadeshiest22]

That Seiko looks the same if not bigger than newer g shocks... Looks bigger and heavier than every watch you have in this video...

[@bingrusginckle]

Nick Hall seiko is 45mm, smallest gshock 51mm, what is larger??

[@ribstein7714]

@@bingrusginckle g shocks are measured from the widest point as far as I know. my rangeman is measured from the protruding tripple sensor and it's corresponding button from what i can tell. I don't believe the seiko is that way. when it comes to comfort there are also other things to consider. One of these would be the weight. I can't be bothered to look up the tuna's weight but i'd wager it's more than most G's on account of it being primarily metal.

[@petesjk]

The Marathon is actually the biggest and heaviest watch in the video. If you look at the case thickness, and the height of the crystal and bezel, you will see that the Marathon is a very big watch.

[@firas5649]

nice video. I love the Seiko tuna range and I have more than one model. They are irresistible.

[@TheZigZiggy]

Timex -- it takes a lickin' and keeps on tickin' -- am I showing my age?

[@Pygar2]

"This is John Cameron Swayze, in the Nevada desert, where we've strapped a Timex watch to this nuclear device..."

[@tdawg557]

Timed Ironman is a beast

[@maehay4065]

TheZigZiggy Timex was my and favorite watch for many years! I have a small wrist and I could always buy one with a very small band that didn’t bother my wrist when moving around with it on.

[@boobam3648]

they would break tons of watches filming their commercials with that tag line. most of their watches they put through the abuse failed, but eventually they would get lucky and one would survive.. and that’s the one that made everyone think timex watches were indestructible in the commercial. cool story huh?

[@neilpiper9889]

Other watches are available

[@Tal-wb9jn]

Great review...great choice...I read the comments section...your viewers no very little about watches...Keep buying watches and reviewing them...Great Job Sir! From a watch collector!!!

[@guardbrandon5005]

The British say Omeeeeega

[@scottharter1161]

Exactly the same story here - Summer of '87, just graduated, Army basic training, first watch I bought for myself, the original G-Shock. Lasted through everything for several years, cracked the crystal. The second one lasted another couple years, but I somehow damaged the pin bosses when replacing the strap, and no pin would ever stay in after that. That watch head is probably STILL taped to the tool box at the manufacturing plant I worked at at the time.

[@eworldtraveler]

Wranglerstar , awsome to get lost in your gadget appreciation . I have to say, I purchased a seiko diver, skx quartz in and around 1986ish. Have the box and recipt somewhere. Have had the battery replaced not more than 4 or 5 times and did a battery replacement myself a time or two. It does not gain or lose time to this day. Although the hands and dial do not really glow anymore and the black bezel is more like greyish from wear. Kinda cool to see they still make these although , in an automatic version. I get the romance of precision machinery and alure of technical innovation of a mechanical movement. But at the end of the day I guess I am a little practical in a sense that I just want the time, and to be the correct time , no matter. Year after year, for my everyday watch. I will splurge on a mechanical at some point, but it is hard to get away from reliable. P.S. my first watch as a younger man , was my fathers bulova accutron wich I used to hum myself to sleep under my pillow. If I could get that analog style sound back, in a quartz watch , that would be the beez kneez.

[@ljk8059]

Perfect video to sharpen some knives. Really like these top down vids. Thanks Cody

[@Shoppe_Talk]

I thought in your other watch video you said the omega was a fake?

[@wranglerstar]

Yes I did, I've since found out it is genuine,

[@Shoppe_Talk]

Wranglerstar Well, that's good!

[@Midwestboltandblade]

Good deal. I was thinking the same. Glad for you it's real.

[@CoordinatedCarry]

Just a friendly tip. At 34:32 that green strap is actually a Zulu strap. I would forgive anyone for assuming that NATO and Zulu straps are the same because they are very similar. However a Zulu strap such as that allows you to loop it back through the double keepers. This helps to remove stress from the spring bars and focus it on the strap.

[@Tal-wb9jn]

Rolex needs serviced every 10 years on average...I have a 1992 Rolex serviced twice runs with COSC cert...I have Seiko automatic dive watches that are 15 years old never been service still run within specs!
