Top 10 Bargain Watches (That Are Way Too Cheap)

[@roel.vinckens]

Came for the watches. Subscribed for the humour, enthusiasm and energy.

[@TobyH.]

Yeah, this guy is pretty good. He gets pretty uppity on watch brands sometimes, though!

[@suzannecarter445]

First time seeing your videos - I'm stunned someone so nerdy he's obsessed with watches can be so witty and such a great narrator. I'm wondering if I should dare going down the watch rabbit hole

[@handlesarethelaststrawiquit]

I snapped the crown off a Farer cushion case when it was a few weeks old and they took care of it no questions asked. They only had it a couple days or so and used a fast shipping option to send it back literally half way around the world.

[@ikeman5774]

The Fears watch really got my attention. Clean dial, top tier finishing, fantastic crystal and a great looking bracelet. Stunner of a watch.

[@tonyanddeb1012]

This has to be the most fun, laugh out loud watch review vid I have ever seen. and I've seen all of Andrew's content to date. An absolute triumph. Chapeau.

[@basvleeskruyer]

I wear an Omega daily, no coworker ever noticed.

[@Pounderino]

I get a few comments from random people sometimes.. but mostly only I know what I’m wearing. Which it’s probably best for when the wife’s around anyways. ;)

[@TobyH.]

Omegas are actually quite bland looking, usually. If you want an eye-popper you should check out some of Invicta's watches!

[@shenxshe0249]

Why need someone noticing your watch?😂 you don’t want unnecessary attention, especially your boss.

[@leandros7662]

It’s like shoes, unless you know what another person is wearing, you won’t really notice or pay attention to it.

[@megacab]

I notice everyone's watch, no one notices mine lol

[@BennyLlama]

Every week, Andrew's videos become more and more unhinged. We need to get Watchfinder to rehire him before he loses it entirely, declares himself Emperor of England, and tries to conquer the world by reestablishing the British Empire.

[@soylentgreen326]

That’s funny 😂 He’s already certified ❤

[@Nobodyknowsmeanymore-n4f]

He would make a very lovely Emperor, leave him where he is now.

[@velviaman3206]

If he is the English Emperor he would establish the English Empire, no? ps he is Welsh.

[@jpdemer5]

Sounds like a better world than the one we're living in ... I say we let him have at it.

[@DeepfryX]

Andrew, I love your videos and your scripts are hilarious. I watch, I subscribe, I like but I do visibly shake every time you say, "but make sure you stay for the last one! It's a hum dinger!". This won't stop me watching but I needed you to know :). Besides that tiny little thing, thank you for the great content and I hope the channel keeps growing!

[@raydoetnietmee]

I agree. The first 2 times I heard it I thought it was sarcastic because that would fit the tone of the channel. Now hearing it every time sound really click-baity which is both off-putting and unfitting for the eloquent style displayed

[@CyberSammael]

Yeah. The first few times was a fun poke at BuzzFeed but by now it feels like it's sincere and non-ironic.

[@robbbbery]

But surely you must admit--the inclusion of an anal beads joke in this video gives the word humdinger a whooole new meaning

[@nickbotfield]

That and the Nico Leonard style thumbnails. The thing is Andrew doesn’t need to play the algorithm baiting game like Nico, Watchfinder got to a million subs and was always classy in its presentation.

[@Juniar101]

He needs as much engagement as possible, this basic tactic works and is recommended by KZbin for creators. Just ignore it and remember he’s trying to run a business

[@drnick40]

Andrew, this is one of the best videos you produced so far. Thank you very much!

[@richardwysocki8300]

"Dropping acid in a hall of mirrors." This was just one of quite a few times you had me laughing, Andrew. I'm not sure which I enjoy more: your sense of humor or your brilliant watch reviews. Fortunately, either/or is not my thing when I can embrace both. Peace, Mate! Postscript: "If it ain't broke let's sell it some more and make some cash." "LeBois are back in town!" "I like things!" Expensive things want to "kick me out of my home and break up my marriage." HAHAHAHAHAHHAH! "Those bevels gleam like freshly laid snail-trails along the edges of the movement." "They've stuck a big label in the back so CHRISTOPHER WARD doesn't lose it." "and those who know me best, know I don't use exponents lightly." Post-postscript: I'm trying to stop this. Really I am!

[@grmpf]

"If that previous Balrog brings the duality of circular time to the hypochondriac The Hours...", is the one that got me.

[@philspencelayh5464]

You've saved me a fortune, I am able to resist all of those bargains. Keep trying though.

[@OfficialBoVice]

No one asked Phil, you’re not that important

[@StillWaters25]

That an@l reference... String of beads. Got me cracked up🤣

[@nero3k]

I had to back up to make sure I heard that right there first time. Master class of English subtlety

[@Nylatt]

That was my favorite quip. It was like a little brown gem. A small nugget comedy gold. 🤣

[@ollik8192]

The Airain Sous-Marine is actually pretty cool, because it doesn't have a dive bezel. The countdown bezel is something you don't see every day. It's also pretty useful.

[@jpdemer5]

That Lebois chronometer is an excellent alternative to a Breitling. It doesn't come with a pistachio dial, but their black dial w gilt markings is **chef's kiss**. Maybe not a "bargain", but value/$ is impressive.

[@chowda4u]

Chef's kiss to that Farer watch!

[@mrmagoo.3678]

[@chadpurser]

Farer has a really nice dive watch, too. Titanium, internal rotating bezel.

[@palundra82]

The last time I laughed so much was leaving the psychiatrist's office. Thank you!

[@jas_bataille]

I gotta that the Tufina Paragon Calendar just blows my mind. It's a world's timer with the timezone rotating *inside* behind the dial, allowing to display perpetual calendar dials AND a date wheel, making it the second world's timer with date display in the world... it's all mechanical, in-house movement, and all of this for under 800 US. I know Tufina had one problem, and that is the fact they have a catalogue as tacky as a hublot X bulova collab would be, but BOY are their movements INSANE and completely unique in their price category, and THIS one could change everything. Plus a portion of your money goes to a good cause every time you buy! Class brand.

[@SlCKB0Y-sb1kg]

That Farer looks amazing for the price and looks particularly nice on the bracelet. I was legitimately surprised by the low cost. The Fears definitely has some Aqua terra influence and the bracelet, side profile, really sharp bevels and lines reminds me of Monta level quality for a similar price.

[@lucgeoffrion1970]

The best one is definitely the Spaceship. I am on the wagon for a year, having bought a Grand Seiko in September ‘23, but I am ridiculously considering such a watch! It’s really out of this world, pun intended! Thank you so much for this kind of review, really enjoyed it. It’s very therapeutic, in a good way. Regards from Quebec.

[@scarface7uk7]

The Le Boys joke is the best one you've ever made and maybe the best pun joke anyone has ever made about watches 👏

[@konradmaciejewski8449]

I gotta say it Andrew. Your comment makes me want to watch content even about watches I would otherwise not even be interested in knowing about! Thanx for bringing that smile on my face!

[@RayAllan]

I just purchased 3 Andrew Morgan titles for my week long vacation next week. With such great writing in these videos, I can’t wait to read your fiction.

[@Valera_Scotland]

Love what you're doing Ashford pal. Would be nice to see some hands on with watches, similar to your old Watchfinder format. Even once a month sort of deal?

[@MrJohnT]

Very nicely done Andrew. You make watches fun again and I always learn something new each video.

[@etebol]

Sometimes I wonder about the people running this companies. Why in the world I spend $3k on a Fears when I can get a Tudor or Longines or any other brand with a more established quality and brand recognition. I guess I’ll never know.

[@thomasbecker8017]

Not even finished watching and I am really impressed with introduced brands..! Thank You

[@nedflanders3769]

LoL at the 2nd family in Tampa callout. Big fan from Tampa, Florida here! ❤😅

[@cameronmcphee6827]

Just spat my cuppa tea out when Andrew said "And in English that means £2 thousand " oh that line was brilliant 😂

[@simonross8716]

The best line was the original movie Point Break mis-quote, Gary Busey to Keanu Reeves ‘young, dumb and full of’ … completely ( the actual line was ‘cum’). Movie legend has it that Keanu Reeves didn’t know it was err coming, watch his reaction, watch the movie, it’s a classic, and so was this episode!

[@carycoller3140]

Being a watch lover (I have 75 watches) I really like a lot of the watches on this list. It's a shame that 99% of the watch channels on KZbin spend 99.5% of their time talking about Rolex, and nothing else, when there are many other amazing watches being made. Thanks for this video. Do more of them. Just subscribed 👍.

Nothing original

@@susokraut3169 typical sauerkraut remark.

[@susokraut3169]

@@cedarcanoe Ridiculously overpriced. With this basic movement, the maximum price should be $1500.

[@bcari100]

I concur with you @cedarcanoe. Very clean design. Reminds me of an Omega AT meets Longines Spirit bracelet in a format Rolex wished they did but Fears did better. They cleaned up the design and made it their own. 👍

[@spex7503]

The Lebois Heritage Chrono - well proportioned vintage chrono looks with quality movement and nice finishing at a not-insane price - makes so much sense that it's genuinely shocking that noone else is doing it. Tissot came close with their 1938 but its sizing is stuck in the last decade.

[@thatguy6111]

Pound for pound or value for money a second hand rail master is your best bet. Coaxial escapement, all brushed finish, thin profile, blue dial, black dial you name it and it has it and they can be found for under $3,000. That’s a lot of watch for less than a black bay.

[@crybabychrononaut]

Your my new favorite watch-dude. Nice work!! I thought i knew about a ton of watches, but you bust out some brands I don't know. And hilarious!! Subscribed!

[@Timepieceguy]

Damn Andrew! Now I want a Fears! And possibly a la boys! As always you are the aficionado in watches and I generally thought I knew almost all brands out there but you keep on amazing me every video! Had no clue about Labois . Fears I knew but did not know they released an OP41 killer! Thank you mate

[@JDinHNL]

Always a joy... feel like I get a bedtime story about watches, and great watches, and that is the perfect mix. Oh, and learning a Farer watch could fulfill my need for an Omega summer blue x Panerai - priceless! And Zelos is always making amazing watches - and Christopher Ward, and... thanks for highlighting some I don't own yet, but are in my "want" list.

Geez that Manilone is such an eye-candy with the full sapphire casing. I really want one

[@ThomasRussArnestad]

Many nice watches in this review. Considering a Farer, but also the upcoming release from Bramier - the Trilayer GMT. Have you seen it? Would love for you to give it a test in your review too see how it performs, but seems to be a great value for money watch as well.

[@georgedobre88]

your script it's just sparkling like champagne (and a top shelf one !) I do not care about many of those watches but I am listening like it's some kind of "war of the worlds" radio show ! that's a good one Orson/Morgan !

[@nizarmurar]

Thanks again . Pls consider revew the Venezianico with Lemania 1873 ,restored .68 pcs made. It worths your attention

[@I-Libertine]

i like that Spearfish "jewel" time. looks like it does two time zones, too!

[@Deconstructeur]

I like your videos and your sarcastic/tongue in cheek jabs. Indeed, bargain and cheap are not usually associated with the type of watches you mention, although I get the explanation you give at the beginning. For a future video, I suggest you try the same approach, but with sub-500$ "bargain" watches.

[@yvelf]

I just placed the order for the CW Twelve X. It looks amazing!!! And yes, i do agree with your comparison with the Defy. I almost got the defy…but this one got my eye and my pocket is much happier with me

[@Yepper1234]

I know you get a million suggestions. maybe on a slow day you could consider the Reverie diver. I originally bought it for the dial. However, other than the lug design and the clasp a bit too chunky and stiff. I find it hard to find a better value especially caliber, thickness and weight. Anyway, great content as always. ☮️

Fantastic video -- right up my alley. I lust for a Journe or a Roger Smith, but that ain't gonna happen in our particular version of reality, so this coverage of *reasonably* affordable (at least, to a collector) is welcome. I have a gold-colored Bel Canto on order (BTW I just got an email that it's been pushed from July to October due to a supplier quality issue), and I'm lusting for one of the C Ward moon watches, or maybe the Ophion 786 that I just became aware of this morning. I can no longer see any point of spending more than $5K on a watch unless you're rich, and I'm not. BTW congrats on stepping out to your own "gig". Best of luck with that! EDIT:: I forgot to mention that your brief allusion to the Pip-Boy w.r.t. that gynormous watch you covered made me laugh out loud. Good 'un.

[@104thDIVTimberwolf]

Another one to have a look at is the Bridgehampton from Islander Watch Co. Yes, it uses a Seagull movement, but it's a real manually-wound columb wheel chronograph with a display case back that exposes a movement that looks like it should carry the Geneva Seal. Long Island Watch sells them for less than $600.00 US. At 14 mm, it's a little thick, but what do you expect for $600?

[@YouTube_is_full_of_trolls]

I know you might not like brands that used to be or do a lot of homages, but the new san martin original designs are ridiculous value for money. The steel finishing is insane for the money. My stone dial watch is nutty value. I recently handled a bunch of tudor, oris and Hamilton. This watch matches the steel finishing or gets extremely close with ease. The handset is a bit cheap but the dial, indices, case and bracelet are exceptional. I know you're highlighting China, so i think they are worth a shout out. Or seagul for that matter is doing some great things. Plus they have history and heritage to boot.

[@Zotrax1946]

It is the 3rd time I’m the 667th “like”. I have no idea what that’s means. 1000 to 2000 dollars price is luxury tier for my pocket… yet great choices 👌🏻
