Top Five Under $100 Watches for Beginner Watch Enthusiasts: Timex, Casio, Seiko & More! | 555 Gear

[@HughPecon]

You can't go wrong with the Seiko5's line. They're great watches.

[@PepRex]

I have the snxs79 and I can't find a replacement crystal.

[@KakashiHatake-ou7mp]

Casio Duro is amazing value for money!

[@555Gear]

Agreed!

[@Bicloptic]

@@555Gear Solid choice. Bill Gates owns one.

[@cradlemonsterp9309]

Have both the Casio and Timex Expedition. Especially impressed by Timex's meticulous ability to align the second hand right in the middle of two indices. In contrast to the Spring Drive which claims to represent the fleeing of time, the Timex wants you to forget where you started and where you're going, and be mindful of the present in between. Even the loud ticking sound is purposefully zen.

[@555Gear]

I love this

[@Norman-yq3hl]

I picked up and own a Timex Expedition. Was the choice I made in getting back into watches. A decent and good looking watch to own while you learn and research other watches out there. My main beater watch now...painting, mowing, etc.

[@rupertholland4751]

Good list. If you can stretch the budget to $150 and you’re willing to shop around, you could get a great 3 watch collection to really catch the watch collection bug. A slightly dressier Seiko 5 something like a SNK789 ($80), a Duro ($30) and a 5600 ($40). You’ve then got a work/dress watch, a great diver and a G-Shock as a beater.

[@mikecolumna]

Regardless of it's polarizing reputation, the Invicta Pro Diver automatic is a great beginner's watch! A Seiko NH35A hacking, hand-winding, reliable, rugged movement with 200 meters of water resistance. Regularly on sale for around $50.00. You just cant go wrong with this Submariner homage for the cheap!

[@thomasshaw4173]

Easy choice, the Casio MDV 106 Duro. I like a tough watch at a good price.

[@thomasshaw4173]

@Epic Gamer,????? I am not a Russian.

[@oes2546]

Citizen Eco-Drive bm8470 (Field watch), or any good looking eco-drive for that matter. Extreme value, especially if you want proper accuracy while not worrying about battery changes the next 15 years. But for starting the hobby, I would begin with an automatic like a Seiko 5 sports or an Orient.

[@Mr1MOA]

My first watch was a Wenger Swiss Military which was over 20 years ago, still have it to this day and still works. Today, I have a plethora of watches, all in the affordable category. I just can't see spending thousands of $$$ on Swiss watches, ie. Rolex, Tudor, Omega. there are so many affordable high quality options today, I just don't see the need unless its someone buying it as a status symbol.

[@rtcurtis5858]

First watches. Got a Timex Scout at Target. Had to return as calendar digit failed to change position. Replaced it with a Casio Tough Solar Digital/Analog. Can’t remember the model #. Still possess it. Second was an Orient Ray ii. Blue dial. Very accurate. Still own. Third, Orient Defender. Large dial. Won’t hand wind or hack. Black dial and bracelet model. Still own. Fourth, Rolex Sub Date. Current model. Got a call from AD, so pounced on it. Still have. Don’t wear often. Finally, Rolex Explorer 39. Got new. Wear every day. Enjoy it greatly. Honorable mention, Marathon 34mm General Purpose Quartz. Latest version with metal crown. Black color. Very, very precise. Small but workable.

[@Mister_Phafanapolis]

Happy to see *somebody* in the watch world talking about and enthusiastic about inexpensive watches. I'm going to go on a rampage the next time I see somebody recommend a $10,000 Rolex when somebody posts a photo of their Seiko 5 asks "what watch should I buy next?"

[@lonewolf30531]

It depends where you buy the watch from. In the discount stores like TjMax there is great finds for under $100 bucks. I recently purchased a Victorinox 500 meter quartz diver for $100 bucks . The watch retails for $750 dollars. I recommend checking out discount stores like TJ Max or Costco before making a final purchase .

[@mrbacchus6127]

I saw that watch at tj maxx I really liked it but the strap was laughably small.

[@lonewolf30531]

mr bacchus , small ? It is huge 22mm rubber strap?

[@mrbacchus6127]

@@lonewolf30531the Divemaster 500 I tried on was the midsize 38mm the band wasnt long enough to wrap around my wrist. Several Amazon reviews stated the same even though it is listed as a mens watch. Definitely felt quality.

Not quite traditional but Vostok Amphibia has a lot to like.

[@neilziesing7761]

Seiko SNK809 is a great first watch. Seiko in-house automatic movement. Kudos to you for making it your #1 first watch recommendation!

[@gregalonzo747]

I would recommend the Citizen Eco - Drive field watch or the Casio Duro.

[@VictoriaStobbie]

My younger brothers and sister can't read analog faces. I can still remember the day that it finally clicked for me. the 807 was my first automatic watch, bought a few years ago. And since it's a Flieger, emphasizing the minutes really helps those who have a hard time telling the time.

[@marwasgaming]

My first was under 100 when I bought it, (its not under 100 anymore), still use it daily and I love it. Citizen Chandler Field watch.

[@MySanjay7]

For new aficionados, you may refer to Seiko 5,s rules. Stainless Steel, Automatic, Date and Time, Water Resistant....and its below $100. Vostok is a little more complicated as the crown stems act on it's own away from its engine movement. So try Seiko 5 for starters.

[@OneOfThem]

My first 5 (real) watches were: Morphic m58 Casio mdv-106 "Duro" Citizen Brycen Bulova 96a120 Sutton Casio A168WA I still have all of them and they still all see decent wrist time. You can't go wrong with the Casio Duro, especially with the new color options available!

[@regularguy9219]

A great starter is the timex expedition T49870. Gives you the quality of a budget watch, but with a leather strap and a 40mm case. Not a budget buster at less than 50$. When you want to move up, check out Deep Blue. They make top quality dive and auto watches.

[@samjohnson6712]

Casio MDV 106 Duro. Orient has many good buys, especially the Bambino.

[@Treblaine]

The perfect EDC watch is a "set and forget" so never worry about it deciding to run out of battery today or lose time. So solar/kinetic charging, and radio timekeeping. Its got to have a perpetual calendar, its better for a watch to NOT give the day of the month if it falsely says its the 31st when its the 1st. You don't need timers or alarms, your phone can do unique things. A wristwatch is supposed to save your phone, you're not pulling your phone out just to check the time. And youre watch isnt supposed to become your phone with distracting features.

[@steve_seguin]

Timex are way too loud, for sure. Makes sense if you are a nurse though, who might use the watch to take heart-rate measurements. Lots of curb appeal, but it's something I stopped using within a week. Might be worth $10 as a learning experience, but not much else. The Bambino and the Duro are two great choices though; I got a v4 bambino that I rarely wear, but it still holds up when I do wear it. The Duro is super affordable, well made, and people constantly complement me on it -- I just added a metal bracelet and replaced the bezel with a new one for a few bucks more. Problem with the duro is that it is heavy. The Casio watches are great; they are super lightweight, can be worn with dress or casually, and are extremely affordable also. The battery in them lasts forever also. I bought a few and I wear them a lot as they fit very easily under a dress cuff or sweater. These days I tend to wear titanium field watches and play with different styles of straps. The collection has long been complete; now I just am having fun.

[@joshlilly253]

Prefer field watches for EDC, the Casio BM8180 at 37mm with solar is my choice if cannot find the Victorinox Infantry with brown dial gold indices on sale for $99. Have both, expect my primary field watch on wrist to be the retired Seiko Alpinist with GREEN dial. Changing the strap provides wide variety of options with its sapphire crystal and 200M water resistance. For dress option instead of the Bambino would choose the Seiko SUP880, a solar verison of the Cartier Tank., easily found under the $100. I guess I prefer quartz without the battery, thus solar watches around 38 mm (wrist 6.75) but over the years have purchased many of all types.

[@jasonkeith1725]

Casio Duro. These days I say no to Seiko. The company just does not care about quality control.

[@toddshaw6457]

I like the Citizen Eco-drive field watch and the Casio MDV 106.

[@camberwellcarrot420]

I've got several Timex, several Seiko 5s, and the Duro. All good picks. I might also recommend the Invicta Pro Diver as an everyday automatic with hacking and hand winding.

[@g4outdoors]

If the Expedition didn't make the list, I was going to unsub, lol. Not really . It deserves a spot on just about any list. Durable, cheap, keeps time great, and the Indiglo is pretty handy.

[@michaeltesterman2109]

You don't have to "wear" the Bambino to wind it up. You can shake it to get it running again.

[@brenttesterman3171]

Hey Michael, I don't often come across folks with the same last name!

[@robofatcat]

Yea why would he say that.

[@thomasflynn5366]

Actually you don't have to shake it. It doesn't hack but it hand winds. I own one.

[@555Gear]

My first watch that got me into watches over 10 years ago was a Wenger Swiss Army quartz watch, which I wore through college. I ended up giving that to a friend and I believe he still has it. What watch got you into watches?? Cheers, Andrew

[@richardseekins24]

Love your channel. Sad to say Skagen & Fossil kind of started me off, but a used Timex Explorer from ebay was the watch that really got me interested in tool watches and later pilot style stuff. I don't see the point in dive watches as I don't dive. I do have a Vostok Amphibia though that is amazing for the price. I look for watches that mean something to me for some reason. The price and movement is not important. I really appreciate the hassle free advantages of Quartz and adore my Bulova Lunar Pilot in Black. The only reasonably expensive Swiss watch I have at the moment is an Oris Big crown Pointer date in Bronze that I will keep forever.

[@yobbos1]

Swiss Army here too!

[@yallensc6467]

A freaking fossil

[@labibsaud8064]

When buying my First watch I had the following in mind. 1)DURABLE 2) AROUND 70-80$ 3) LOOKS 4)MATERIAL 5)Maintenance 6)Minimum Longevity(5-7 years) (Note: CAPS are essential others are optional) Getting back into watches after using a FOCE watch back in Highschool I wanted to make sure I didn't have to baby it. Being a student and living in a developing country to boot ,it had to be under 90$ ,as I'm surely the one paying the price ,tax and shipping. It had to look good for some formal and many Casual events. I mostly switched my old watches due to the electroplated/ painted cover wearing of and looking rusted due to sweat and humidity. If I run into problems I must be able to service or repair where I live, sadly automatic and mechanical watches aren't serviced where I live. In the end I bought a Casio Duro( The 1st watch I bought on my own :D) which can't be found in most Asian and Middle eastern countries . I'm not sure how long it'll last but so far I love it and if it'll last me 3- 5 years I'll consider it a worthy investment. [As of writing this I've owned the watch for only 3 days.]

[@mikcsa]

I've had watches throughout my childhood and puberty, but the first one I bought for myself (and can actually remember) is the Braun BN0032 on a mesh. Bit more expensive but looks great and stylish, and is highly underrated. Too bad the crown broke off in a work accident and Braun Germany is not replying to my service request.

[@555Gear]

Very interesting first watch and I'm sorry to hear it is not able to be fixed.

[@mariozee899]

Casio duro the Marlin nice choice👍👍😁😁

[@coryames1170]

My only complaint against the Duro is that I wish the lume on the hands and markers was a little brighter (a back light like the Super Illuminator Casio's wouldn't hurt either.) But other than that it really is a terrific watch and I love mine. I also own 4 Timex Expeditions.

[@weetzerswoodshop]

Great video. Can’t go wrong with that list for the beginner collector. Thanks for introducing me to that Orient Flight...just found one on Amazon for $65!!!

[@ryan_bitzer]

The very first Seiko watch I got [as a gift] is the Seiko 5 SNK789 at around $80 on Amazon. I like it but the '5' underneath 'Seiko' makes it look too casual for formal attire. I like the size and the nice dial but it's not as versatile as I expected. Nice video!

[@bobklumpp8698]

100%. The Seiko 5 series of watches are THE choice for the entry level watch enthusiast. I think it's best to "skip" quartz movements and go right for an automatic watch. There is something about having a little machine on your wrist that does not rely on a battery.

[@555Gear]

I agree having that experience is an important one

[@bobklumpp8698]

Wow! A reply from "The Guy", Cool content Mr., Keep e'm coming.

[@TekaDon]

Skip the Seiko 5. The 7S26 is garbage. Get a $100 solar quartz as your beater, then get the Rolex.

[@LordArioh]

I got Titanium Certina DS Action, it's quite expensive quartz, but whenever I just throw it on my wrist and don't ever worry about setting a time, +/-10 sec a year. Got a few mechanical and automatic watches, but it's a bit frustrating when I get away for a week or month, and then have to reset all of them every time. so having quartz is not a bad option.

[@bobklumpp8698]

@@LordArioh Nothing against quartz watches. I have several, BUT from a horological perspective, automatic watches are more "collectable". No they are not as accurate, but there is something about an autonomous machine on your wrist.

[@caktaylor]

A very good alternative to the Orient Bambino is the Orient Symphony. The Symphony even uses standard 22mm straps.

[@wpherigo1]

Fresh take on this subject - nice job! An SNK803 was my first mechanical watch. Several years ago - you might have been the source of that SNK80x choice actually! I’m trying to remember how I found 555; did TGV mention you a long time ago? It might be helpful for newbies to know that you don’t have to wear an automatic watch before setting the time - you can actually get away with just swinging the watch back and forth for a minute to get it going and then set the time.

[@wpherigo1]

It might make an interesting video to ask “Can you have multiple watches but not have a collection?” In the Casio line, I’ve got a GG-1000 mud master, a G-Shock GW-5600, and an older Tough Solar model that was G-Shockish. Seiko - SRPA21, SNK 803 and 809, a solar chronograph with alarm, and a beautiful, older dual tone quartz chronograph. Is it a “collection”? I don’t know. It could be if I put some parameters around it. Cheers!

[@patrickfulmer9596]

The Seiko SNZG15 has better WR and the 41mm fits my 8" wrist better. My SNK803 died due to water. Loved that tan dial. I have two Wenger quartz watches with the Ronda 515 movement that I like. Under $100 each. Nice video.

[@MrWayneploof]

I think the INVICTA pro diver is a great watch for under 100 bucks.

[@JosephCoates]

SNK793 . I bought one when I was in the military and 20 years later, its still going. You can also put one on a strap and have a decent dress watch.

[@brenttesterman3171]

[@edwardcrater3591]

The Bambino is a good choice as is Casio Duro. Pass on Seiko due to poor quality control.

[@TekaDon]

Get a solar quartz by either Seiko or Citizen as your point of entry. Then after a while go straight for the Rolex. Skip everything in between.

[@hyper3cube]

The brand gets a lot of hate, but the Invicta 7041 has a Seiko nh36 movement, sapphire crystal, 200m water resistance and looks like a submariner and a Seiko Monster had a kid. Goes for just over $90. There's nowhere to go but up from there in collecting! I love the Duro but may be on the large side for a younger person.

[@0017Bulldog]

Great vid! Love the 809, the 5600e, el bambino and the Duro, but here are my top 5, noting that I don't have anything over $200. Seiko SND703 (check it out...no one talks about this beauty), SKX007 nuf said, Orient Defender (love it), Invicta Pro Diver (black face), Swatch - Irony Sine Curve - YBS4002 - 200 m (lol, none of you have this one.

[@DeeDeeDanone]

Flame me all you wish but the Invicta 8926 is the ultimate entry watch, ubiquitous good looks (Submariner style which all watch starters are essentially looking for), decent enough build and a fantastic hacking and accurate movement that destroys any Seiko even close to double it's price, for a comparable Seiko movement you'd have to start around about Seiko Turtle level. I've since moved to better watches but that Invicta certainly flamed those initial sparks of intrigue.

[@555Gear]

I'd still go for an Orient Ray II/Mako II unless I were on a very tight budget. There's something about buying a watch that is closer to being its own thing instead of purely an homage. Especially for your first watch. But the Invicta is great value for sure.

I'm not sure you understand what hacking is. The Orient Bambino hand winds so you don't have to wear it to wind it. Hacking indicates that the second hand stops when you pull out the crown for more accurate setting. I can't think of a reason to need hacking in an automatic watch under $100 as it won't be accurate enough to matter anyway. On that note the Bambino is also not under $100. Usually around $130USD.

Completely agree with with Seiko 5 makes so much sense. Cheap, mechanical and a see through caseback so you begin to understand mechanical movements. Then after this go for an SKX or Padi for a diver if you actually truly want one. Then after this wait for a true luxury piece in the $3000+ price range even if it takes 2 years to save for. Else you’ll spend loads of money wasting your time on cheaper brands that you will end up selling. Only watches exempt from this rule would be a nice vintage dress watch, an or a second hand Hamilton/ second hand other well known Swiss brand like Tissot for half retail as a nicer everyday watch. Everything else you will just regret in my opinion. I’ve learn’t this from experience lol. Also FUCK MICRO BRANDS! You’ll end up liquidating for a fraction of what you paid and regretting owning them when you want a true luxury piece.
