What do you mean by "quick-release straps"?

[@matthewmoses4222]

WOW that Timex and the Pulsar!!!!! Thanks so much Jody!

[@harryborsalino1276]

Thanks for a great video! The Casio Duro is my favorite on the list. Looks great and keeps accurate time, size is not a factor since I have slightly larger than average wrists, and you can find almost endless strap choices to change the look. A good daily-wear watch, the Duro also is my go-to vacation watch, because the price (I got it for less than 50USD a few years ago) makes it no big deal to replace if lost or stolen. I Like the choice of the Scuba Dude, too. I have one with aqua green face, swapped out the bracelet for a nylon NATO, leather, or silicone strap. I also have one of the 24 Hour Dial Komandirskies, which looks great on a NATO strap. As with the Scuba Dude, tank-factory construction is part of the funky appeal, and if you get tired of the NATO strap, a leather or silicone strap looks just as good. .

Instead, you really show how everyone can enjoy a good watch without paying a house-worthy price. Keep it up!

[@dude28405]

I have a black Duro that I put on a stainless bracelet from another Casio diver style watch. I wear it to work every so often, and my coworker (whose spent ~30 years at the place I work) commented on it a few times. I explained that the Duro is the best diver style watch you can get for $50, and not to mention the reliability of Casio time pieces. He retired recently and his last day was July 29, and for a “retirement” gift I got hime an identical black Duro and put it on a nice nato strap. I could tell from his reaction he really liked it, and he’s a no-frills guy so he definitely appreciated the value.

[@frankgerace5997]

Not every watch in my collection is a diver, but of the watches on this list, I have 3 Duros (different color ways), a Vostok Amphibia “scuba dude,” 2 automatic Invicta Pro Divers (again, different color ways) and a PVD black-coated Loreo..this channel and some others influenced my choices, and I think they’re all great watches, especially for those of us who can’t afford to buy a Rolex, and will probably never be able to!!

[@Johnnykast]

I just had a "Zissou" Amphibia arrive a couple weeks ago. Went for it after watching your recent movie-watch video, and I love it. I lucked out and got one that swings about +/- 1 sec/day. Super comfy on a Barton silicone band. Thanks for the vids. Love your shirt.

Of these I like the Invicta, oddly enough , especially the available 1953 "vintage" reference. But the Vostoks are certainly intriguing. It is amazing how many pieces in this range are rated for 200M and/or have quality Sieko movement.
