TOP 10 Best Watch Dials All Under $200

[@96kyh]

Sound seems better, ie. louder. It was just too soft earlier.

[@gz7587]

The sound is much louder now, THANK YOU.

[@dunderhay9169]

Some really nice watches there 👍. The Addiesdive sand dial looks great, but the logo just doesn't suit it. I've actually bought the centre seconds Baltany 1921 after seeing your review, I wasn't sure at first, but I just love the dail/indices and case 😍

[@keessonnema]

Yes, thanks for fixing the audio. Wasn't the end-user after all was it ;) Great video too!

[@ilikewatches]

I’ve just urned my recording volume up but it was still only affecting a small number of users so I don’t think I’ve fixed it I’m just compensating for the low volume on some devices…I think it’s a KZbin thing but might be me?!?

[@julianb1474]

@@ilikewatches I thought that @keesonneme gave a pretty detailed explanation previously. Perhaps you didn't see it? Here it is again: "The KZbin "nerd stats". Right-click the video on pc - show that KZbin normalized the audio to 100% (maximum loudness compensation) and it's still extremely quiet, the videos are uploaded with -22dB loudness, that is SUPER quiet. Most videos on KZbin are between -10dB and 0dB and use a bit of audio normalization to make it equally loud to everything else, but if your audio is this quiet the normalization won't do anything, it's just maxed out." It's NOT "low volume on some devices" it's ONLY your videos that have this issue.

[@keessonnema]

@@ilikewatches I recommend just recording on a safe level like -10dB and boost it in the edit (to around -5dB or -0.5dB, to get the most clear audio. I can hear some slight distortion at a few moments in the video because it's now too loud in the recording (it's correct on KZbin now, so that part is fixed).

[@danschlacks7188]

Great video, you were loud and clear! I like the Cestrian.

[@stephenmundane]

Great selection and as a bonus the sound is excellent on my PC too 👍👍

[@erikbasil2787]

These are beautiful. I do have another dial for you to look at again:g The Godzilla homage by Heimdallr, in burgundy red. Incredible.

[@sdavifcom]

Yeah, the sound level looks to be on par with others KZbin videos. Nicely done.

[@AlexanderB.]

That Baltany "1921" is lovely, but there's a coppery salmon one that's even better. One of my favourite dial colours👌

[@adk7962]

I really have to get my hands on that Proxima. But I would want to get a nice looking vintage bracelet also. Thanks for the great recs!

[@robh.2400]

Good volume. Some nice looking watches.

[@jacc88888]

Some great choices and very helpful to see that you have already reviewed them/used them in person. Particularly like the Timex.

[@garethhanna9173]

I got the Addiesdive 2118 blue dial and I am blown away with the quality and accuracy (+0.5 sec a day) of the thing. I was so impressed I bought the white dial version. Grand Seiko dial copies they may be, but I'm not bothered as only watch nerds know what a Grand Seiko is.

[@ssnerd583]

I have the 2118 in white and it is just spectacular!! It is one of the nicest looking watches that I own and I own a good few $$$ and a couple $,$$$ watches. ..And mine is also very accurate. I havent checked it exactly, but its less than 5 sec/day for sure.

[@statlerwaldorf7130]

Cheers Gary, great review, looking forward to the next one...waiting for the tingles!!!

[@John-P]

Volume fixed!!! it's now much better

[@QuintilusCastle]

I loved this video. Great choices. Really want that $200 to $500 watch video.

[@vinaymatta2489]

Thanks Gary , you ve got the best from the lot , appreciate your efforts

[@brianmsahin]

Thanks Gary. It's amazing what you can get at such affordable prices.

[@Stricko72]

Superb selection, can totally agree with the addiesdive for the money, awesome. Love the proxima, not seen that one before, the case shape and styling is right up my street on the wishlist now. Thanks for another great video.

[@Pellidon]

Volume on my PC fixed. It was always good on my phone and tablet.

[@lulul]

I think this video would have done very well as one of those before an aliexpress sale videos.

[@ilikewatches]

Good thinking!

[@watchalot919]

Love the first Baltany. I picked up the automatic Addiesdive watch for £46 delivered, absolutely lovely watch

[@seanhickling7340]

That Cadisen is gorgeous. Such a shame it's not on a bracelet.

[@aim54x]

The Frost dial is probably the only reason why I had my Monster fixed (locally with a replacement movment) after the absolute disasterous example of customer service from Heimdallr

[@ilikewatches]

Oh no…great dials though

[@moneymikz]

Sugess Moonphase stunning aventurine dial, jumping big date display, great design and was an absolute steal on Black Friday at $115

[@thomastommy1192]

AWESOME VIDEO Thumbs up. Where can I buy theses watches from? Thanks for sharing your video's.

[@ilikewatches]

I put all the links in the video description…thanks for watching!

[@flwrsw1sa]

Amazing video, yo hace to do another part or 2 or 3 or 4 its Amazing and much people like myself love the dial, i have to much Friends that want that and you do it congrats.

[@ondrejzacek9243]

You should check out Red Star Three-eye Chronograph.

[@ilikewatches]

I will thanks

[@IvanVoras]

Great video! It could be a series - how about a list of affordable hi-beat (28.800+), watches, or moon-phase ones (to be distinguished from sun&moon ones)?

[@ilikewatches]

Sounds like a good idea! Thanks

[@MrAndypeet]

Hello, which watch model did you use for your listing image please? Incredible finish & elegant hands-thanks

[@abilozler1144]

You now say that the Tandoria brand, which you said was waterproof a few years ago, is great. really funny!

[@philspencelayh5464]

That Addis watch was available in the recent sale for less than £100 and the dial is great but its one of the watches they don't do in sterile format, I'd probably be wearing one now otherwise.

[@grady60]

If it was 39mm I'd be all over it

[@yoinkhaha]

Well I guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder. The green Timex Q is alright (but just alright); everything else…yick.

[@eyalbaum1254]

great video!

[@TomasWatchReviews]

I like to spend as little as possible on watches that look as cheap as possible :D Casio

[@sinjinadams2862]

Mr Wonderful, Kevin O'leary himself has stated numerous times that it's all about the dial for him. He doesn't care or know anything about the movements, he buys watches specifically for their dials. That's the most important thing to him. Now he is a watch snob and would never buy any of these watches but I think when it comes down to it, most people are like him and buy watches mainly for the dial.

[@michaelcoates7475]

What watch is pictured in the thumbnail?

[@ilikewatches]

It’s a Straum….gorgeous dial

[@michaelcoates7475]

@@ilikewatchesThank you!

Would like to see your favorite dials of all time

[@ericzonkheim7088]

Every time I’m tempted, that stupid giant Addiesdive logo keeps my finger off the Buy button. Love the dial, love the colors, love the VH31; just cannot abide that cheap advertising on the face.

[@TheNickGuy408]

Dear Proxima, Grown men do not universally want a unicorn on their watch dial. I can do a quick financial analysis on lost revenue due to your poor choice of logo: $ALOT

[@neli5p]

All tiny ladies' sized watches. Meh 😦
