what was the price ON the citzen at the end? thank you

[@telefunkenyou47]

Anas Hakim - The affordability means you can get more of them but I suppose after you've experienced something of higher quality, you'd rather have a few nice pieces then a big collection of the budgets.

[@stlydan]

You, young man, have given me more than a little joy the past few years. I exited mid 50's and officially entered into late 50's this year. I have always worn a watch but never had an appreciation for what was on my wrist. You changed that for me. After watching this segment I realized what an influence you've had on my modest watch collection; I have the Seiko aviator, the Pepsi diver, the 5, the Bambino, the DW-5600 G-Shock, the Hamilton Khaki plus a Hamilton Myron and a Timex 100. I have always been a vinyl record collector, but you have shown me a new avenue that draws my attention...cheers.

[@rlock73]

You raise a good point, he must of influenced me too, my modest and poor man's collection includes, Seiko 5, Casio Data Bank (calculator), Orient (Open Heart), and a few vintage Elgins (celebrating my American Heritage). all I need is a good non- Rolex swiss timepiece.

[@stig5763]

[@ryanjofre]

@@unconquered898 Read what I wrote on this video. I fuking adore the fully restored manual wind Oris pieces I have. They aren’t worth allot but who cares, not every watch is about a solid gold Rolex investment watch. Most solid gold Rolex’s spend their lives in a safe. P.s. Oris made some very cool manual wind pieces in the 70’s 70-79. Some of the dial/hand colors are awful for my tastes but some are fantastic.

[@ashwinaditya5331]

That Victorinox Infantry is really a hidden gem. I bought the automatic version with eta 2824 movement for about 350$. It really gives you the feel of a well made swiss piece. Accuracy is +3 sec/day which is way better than my seikos. I would say that it considerably reduced my itch for wanting a rolex right now, at the same time increased my respect for swiss manufacturing.

[@Moneynis]

I recently got my first automatic, a Seiko 5 SNK809 and it just makes me happy when I wear it.

[@hughmungus1572]

We all know that feeling :) That's what it's all about. Congratulations

[@pratikkarmiani9387]

LB33 I'm thinking of buying the SNK809 too by the start of July! It will be my first automatic watch as well but I'm confused between this and the SKX007. I know these two are both very different watches but I'm fascinated by both and want one that would go with every occasion. Given the fact that I'm a recent college graduate I need something that I could wear at work as well as casual outings, which one would you recommend? Is the SKX809 treating you well?

[@1995kalai]

i got my first automatic recently too! SNK807! high 5 mate!

[@hughmungus1572]

Don't know if you meant to adress creeps inc or me... If you adressed me, I'm sorry for being late, I just read your comment. The SKX809 are both great watches (like almost every Seiko). And they actually aren't too different (from a specs standpoint). Both have a 7s26 movement and hardlex crystal. So it's mostly the size, the water resistance and of course the design that distinguishes them. Since your comment is already 2 weaks old, I suspect you have already decide which one to buy...?

[@pratikkarmiani9387]

LB33 yes I reckon I meant to address 'creeps inc' but replied to your comment by mistake. I'm still thankful for your reply though and thanks for the input as well. You are right, I have made up my mind to buy the SNK809 first. Might get the SKX007 later someday. Since this will be my first automatic watch, the fact that It has a exhibition/ display case back is a big plus for me. I'm pretty excited to get my hands on it :)

[@Wiscompton608]

I absolutely love my DW5600. I wear it every day, as a scientific glassblower working with extreme heat and other hazards it withstands everything I throw at it and I use almost every one of its features regularly. I love mechanical watches, both the engineering behind them and their aesthetics, but my g-shock gives me something that I can be proud to wear just about anywhere until I can afford to start a real collection. For something like $45 that's one hell of a watch imo.

[@brianbuchert6382]

Sam Merkel so true

[@fredso]

This is not relevant to this specific video but I started to relize that why I appreciate smaller watches more than bigger ones. I know that I think they look better but when they are smaller it feels like they are much harder to make and the details looks so amazing when it's on a smaller scale. By just looking at the details holding it with my hand fascinates me and makes me happy. I don't know if someone understood that haha. Great video as always! :)

My first watch is TomTom sports. I started wearing watch to motivate me for getting fit. One of relative gifted me a Fossil Chronograph watch and I absolutely never use the stop watch on that. Now I bought Huawei watch GT, as the fitness band I am using along with Fossil broke. From practicality point none of the automatic watches makes sense. I can justify buying them like a jewellery. I started going this rabbit hole after learning about Seiko. Thanks for recommendations. Now I will be hunting for a deal on that beautiful Hamilton field watch.

[@nigelseviour2830]

I have a working watch which i purchased about 7/8 yrs ago I have used it in the ocean when body boarding with the family and fits over my wet suit It’s a Seconda Xposa. 5 ATM and have changed the battery about twice As you have commented a watch is personal I spent about £ 10/15 on this watch and have used and abused it But I will not part with it as it has served me well and I have many memories wearing it on the beach when body boarding with the kids and able to track the time in the water Thank you for your info on affordable watches that have great qualities of their own, I have become more appreciative of what I call a working watch but also own one or two dress watches Keep up the great videos Nigel Uk

[@wolfgangandrewx2416]

$100 is the sweet spot. + or - $20 and most people are comfortable with that price. I had no idea there were even good watches in this price range. I just thought 30$ timex and 10k rolex and not a clue a world existed between. Thanks for the great videos.

[@trubadyr99]

My Citizen titanium eco-drive is about a dozen years of abuse old. It is about -2 seconds/week accurate! This watch is leaving all my more expensive automatics way behind concerning the watch accuracy! If this watch had been an "atomic" or GPS radio watch, it would be even closer to being a "perfect" one.

[@RichardCroft]

[@T412-r2h]

I spent over $100 for an imitation diver with stainless bracelet and I’m going to keep it. I bought it my freshman or sophomore year of college and still have it. I wear it now and then. It has sentimental value. Do I wish I had spent the money on a better watch? Yup 👍🏿

[@theurbangentry]

I had no idea it was so affordable, thank you for letting me know! Thank you sir. Best regards, TGV

[@acts9531]

Just before Christmas I picked up a Citizen Eco Drive 5551-06L on Amazon. The watch lists regularly (on Amazon) for $450 but they had a "lightning deal" on it for only $125 ... I couldn't resist at that price and I LOVE the watch. The 06L is the leather strap version and I hate leather straps for watches that I wear a lot, they stretch, they smell from sweat and skin oils after a while and eventually they just rot to bits if you wear them all the time. Which puts a nice watch in jeopardy of loss or damage. So I put an aftermarket metal bracelet on it. At the price I paid for the watch I don't mind the cost of the bracelet. I don't mind leather bands on watches I don't wear a lot, like dress watches. I have a gold case/gold face Seiko 7T32-7C60 that came with a nice gold bracelet but I put a black alligator leather band with a gold butterfly deployant clasp on it and it looks great for "dress up" with slacks and a sports jacket.

[@bengrant4744]

Love this price range TGV! It allows the newer enthusiasts to start a collection rather than just having say one higher end piece.

I bought my SNK805 Seiko 5 a year ago based on your recommendation. I upgraded with a Luftstrap elastic wrist band. It's a beautiful watch that has worked flawlessly. I've had it on the Appalachian Trail, worn it in my workshop, and even in a suit and tie and it's never looked out of place. I'm always surprised that I can leave it on the shelf while I am asleep and it's still keeping perfect time when I wake up. It did run down once when I caught COVID and didn't wear it for a couple of days but the hands started moving again the moment I picked it up. A few turns of the crown and it was keeping time perfectly again. I've accidentally banged into things and it appears completely undamaged. As my eyes get older it's getting harder to read the numbers but since it has hands I don't actually need to read them to tell time which is great.

I have always had a very soft spot for the classic Mondaine watches, loving the clean look to them. Could you recommend them? Thanks.

[@theurbangentry]

I personally have never tired them so I can not honestly say, however I have only heard nothing but good things. I love their clocks too. Thank you, Best regards, TGV

[@joshwalker4083]

The Urban Gentry Thank you!

[@simonedmondson7633]

I have one. given to me as a gift some years ago. It's styled to look just like their Swiss rail clocks. I reckon it's a design classic. The leather strap is one of the best I've ever worn. Very comfortable and very accurate. If anything ever happened to it I would buy the exact same one as a replacement. Thumbs up from me.

[@joshwalker4083]

Yes it's that classic design I saw on the clocks whilst skiing and I instantly wanted one. I will have a look at their leather straps as well. thanks for taking the time to reply!

I started with a Simply Pure (SVGK402) Swatch automatic then the Seiko 5 SNKL23, plus a BALTIC Bicompax 001 and then my beloved SQUALE 1545, … And today I'm hunting Vintage 1950-69 Omega Seamaster… What a journey ! 😃

I’m absolutely loving one A couple that I picked up recently in this price range: Momentum’s Smokejumper (Limited Edition version of the Atlas 44). SS case with a Seiko movement, sapphire crystal with AR. I’ve had nothing but divers, but this field watch kind of stole my heart. I got it for $200 CAD. I also picked up another Momentum, the Superstorm 500, used, but there’s plenty of models out there that use the same case/movement combo, and that’s the Divex Offshore 500/Apeks 500 Dive/Aqua Lung 500 Pro which all look like they’ve used a Tauchmeister case and quartz movement from their entry level 500m dive watches. Big and chunky steel case with a shrouded bezel, surprisingly good lume and solid movement, I’ve seen them brand new for around £110. Love the videos!

[@darkphoenix2k61]

I have a fossil arkitek ch2869, it's a wonderful watch plus it's roughly 150 dollars.... what do you think of the fossil brand?

[@zzyzxzee6374]

Antonio Banchetto fossil is a dress watch usually with cheap movements. Stay away from dept stores and malls

[@behabehabaheblab]

Have the Seiko 5 SKN 809 now for about 5 years and it's great! Use it at work and it really is robust (which is important for me). Love it! Also was my first "real" watch.

[@franksalazar4576]

swatch is cool, but i hate their lug design. It limits us when choosing straps

[@theurbangentry]

VERY true indeed. I prey they come release something with better lugs. Thank you, Best regards, TGV

[@claytonberg721]

Yeah, there's a couple that I might have bitten on if they were using springbars.

[@asianbboy911]

To be honest I suspect that swatch makes some of its money off of people by cutting off 3rd party straps and forcing people to buy their straps.

[@exxonrcg]

Ive seen some where the owners dremelled off the midle lug leg and convert it to a regular 20mm lug

[@safwanrozlan459]

I decided to buy an automatic watch and stumble upon your channel. I finally bought my first ever Seiko 5! More to come i’m sure

[@gingermatchstick]

Im lookinng at getting my first 'Dress watch' for around £200-250. Would you still recommend the Orient Bambino as the top dog?

[@theurbangentry]

Absolutely! Very few come close at that price range. I highly recommend it. Thank you, Best regards, TGV

[@darrenwalshe65]

beautiful classy watch

[@zzyzxzee6374]

Yes get the bambino ver 3 you want sapphire crystal,hacking,handwinding. For the extra $50 its worth buying the ver 3

Just looking for a nice watch and I stumble on this video and it just made me really happy seeing somebody talk about a passion and be so happy doing it! Such a wholesome video:)

[@laurenceholland8465]

So illuminating, I'm a better man having viewed this video.

[@blkcpdconure]

I could easily get carried away with this watch stuff. I can’t let it be like when I decided I needed a night vision monocular. This video is great though! It’s nice to see that there are great watches out there for not a lot of money. I’ve had a Luminox 3000 for 14 years and it’s still going strong. Next paycheck I’m going to pick up a Seiko 5 for my first automatic. I also think the Marathon General Purpose Mechanical tritium looks cool also. I’m figuring the Luminox for kayak fishing, Seiko 5 for general wear and maybe the Marathon for camping. Fun stuff!

[@csv4896]

can you make a video on online websites you buy pls

[@silverhawk911]

Thank you, TGV. I am glad that I bought the SEIKO SKX at your recommendation, definitely no regrets on my purchase, now that it is discontinued.

Terence skx007k2 for 200€ but used from a collector, with warranty and everThing, i will buy it today, very excited

[@silverhawk911]

@@vitalicomedythat's a pretty reasonable price for a used SKX007 with warranty. It would go really well with a nato strap (if that's your style) Anyway, enjoy it !!!

[@ChintanPandya01]

The Urban Gentry Indeed! I totally agree with the top ten. Realized the watches on your list in this range are the ones I own as well. Speaks to their value for money and horological pedigree in the said price range. And how much I watch the channel! I would like to mention a very functional travel watch from Casio. The AE1200Wh. The octopussy's Bond Seiko aesthetic with a ton of features! Can't beat that for under 30 bucks IMO! Cheers!

[@speycah]

I bought one last week, now I can't take it off my wrist while my Flightmaster is sitting in the drawer - I think it's the perfect beginner's watch. Buy an AE1200, a NATO strap of your choice and a spring bar tool and you'll have fun for days. All for $50, an absolute steal.
