My Speedy was the watch i wanted since my very early 20's, but even then i knew spending that kind of money on a watch was crazy, so I set a rule that i wouldn't buy until I had no debt. First paid off the student loan, then bought my first house... Then my next house, and finally at 38 years old last fall i paid off the mortgage and was able to buy my Speedy. It's as good as advertised, and it makes me happy every time i look at it. Even more so knowing that I stuck to my convictions to get it.

I guess I’m in the minority, but I own a TISSOT PRX POWERMATIC 80 STEEL & 18K GOLD BEZEL that I bought in Switzerland from an AD some years ago. I loved the way it looked but didn’t like how it wore on my wrist-it just looked small. That's why I'm considering selling it. I'll do some research to find out its worth now.

90% of us will never be in a position to buy an Omega Speedmaster. $12K+ is insane money regardless of how amazing the watch is. However, 100% of us can afford the Casio calculator watch, and honestly, you'll probably get more comments and questions about it than you will get about the speedy.

I'm definitely going to buy the 5610

some really cool recommendations. I like that you did stay classic, while straying off the path and showing me something new. Good stuff!

Great list, great video. Well done. Enjoying your channel.

If the Speedy is too big for you consider the Speedy First Omega In Space. It fits smaller wrists. And looks great and not everyone has one. I like it.

Great video. I have a Speedy (bought in 1998), the 5610 and a white CA53 (modded to positive display).

It will be interesting to see if the Seiko Pogue reissue out in August gets on your list.

Thailand’s own Wise Watch and their AD-8 is an amazing watch and am proud to own one. The other watch I love is my G-Shock GW-200 (Frogman) which I believe is the smallest one they ever made? Could be wrong on that but it is much smaller than the current ones.

I bought a 5610 last months ago. Love it.

I'm not paying $10,000 more for "history" and "heritage", I could care less. I just want a good watch for my money

The problem with the G Shock 5610 is if you buy it, you may as well toss out your 5600. I just can't do it. Cheers!

The Casios are the only ones I can afford. But that Hamilton, damn...😘

Just pulled the trigger on the classic Citizen Aqualand JP2000. Can’t wait!

I think the Seiko Monster is an iconic diver. Great size, excellent build and looks the dogs danglies. It was my first Seiko, and it is a keeper. 👍

Great video!!! I have versions of 8 of these- that's either really cool or I need an intervention lolololol

Nice line up mate 🍻 cheers

Cool selection, but am having to exercise a bit of restraint as I have three watch purchases that I will getting my hands on over the next few months - doesn't stop me looking at straps though!

Great list. 👍

I got my M-HKR. It’s is awesome. People missed out on this one if they didn’t get it. Thank you, the dial in person is simple and beautiful. Love the colors, very military neutral. I’m glad you made it to the size of watches the GI’s used back then.

Nice selection rus.

What’s the reference on the Panerai? Great video! Cheers!

Previous gen speedmaster looked like a counterfeit of itself 😂

Get home from work, stick KZfaq on and an MWC upload lands, happy days!! 🫡

Great list, however I would have a Citizen Promaster NY0040 blue dial in there. I have the earlier non-hackable 8203 movement and it's chronometer accurate gaining about a minute a week - I've read the hackable 8204 isn't as accurate. It's a workhorse of a diver, has a fantastic unique look, ISO certified and has great history with the Italian military. All for under £200.

Great content again, love it…You nailed it on the first two watches, you could argue you don’t need anything more…then you went on and talked about microbrands and pictured a brand you just recently had ..err..some serious feedback on…maybe not a good example!

New MWC vid and I hit the like before it starts to play. Willard is on my Seiko short list for sure, as my turtle fits amazing as well, and runs only 3 seconds fast per day, I forget that it’s on, Seiko magic really, but I want the SLA Willard with the grey dial(SBDX047) as I avoid the 6R movements. As far as a limited edition, my SJE093 is amazing, and love my kanji version of the SRPK17 #555. My 5610u is my daily tool, along with my OG frogman, and love my 40th anniversary team tough square as well. And man, there’s a new Pogue just released, got to get that one for sure. Thanks again Russ!

Great choices. I’ve got the same gshock LE square as you. And also that Speedy. A classic and a watch that wears so well on my 6.25” wrist due to the short lug to lug dimensions. And thanks to you for the code for Francis & Gaye, I’ve just ordered another must. The Murph 38mm. Cheers. 🙏

Out of my G-Shocks, my favorites are stealth-black AW500 (reissue of first analog-digital G-Shock), GBD200 with its fabulous MIP display and CasiOak GA-B2100 for its VFM. Among Casio Analogs, I love Duro, MTD-130 and Edifice EFV-140D.. Among non-G shock digitals, it’s difficult to name favorites, but I’d like to give a shoutout to AE-3000 for its sheer beauty !

Willard!!! Awesome Vids!!

I have 7 inches wrist and I want to own a watch which you think the better buy between hamilton khaki exoidition vs seiko spb453 sir thanks❤😊

First watch is the only one I own from the list. And you made me wanna go to my retailer now again..

I respect you Russ for not shilling for Ali Express

Becauso of you i got the M5610 U and the seiko field gmt😘 cool watches👍🏻👍🏻

Great list! G-Squares are like chips you can't have just one. My collection of squares is now at 4. I have a Speedmaster Cal. 321 and it really is the ubiquitous watch collectors watch and It looks great in any setting. The Willard literally seems to melt into your wrist and is so comfortable you almost forget you're wearing it.

I bought Finally a New Hamilton Khaki field Titanium black watch i looking forward to 😊

I really like the list since i don't have any of them. My g shock and Hamilton aren't included. Great list man!

LOVE IT.. I Have 6 Watches that were Shown On this Video..Amazing.

Word has it the Seiko Pouge has been released. If true I’ve been saving my bonus for one for quite a while.🤞🏻

Willard all day long and twice on Sunday for me. I have 5 and I’ll not be stopping there. Fantastic watch case, and it’s just a bloody classic!

My list of 7 affordable watches to own: 1 Casio F91W - Because it is more iconic and comfortable than any G-Shock. 2 Orient Mako - Because everyone has Seiko or Citizen divers, just be a little different. 3 Casio G-Shock GWM5610 - Because if you are going to own a G-Shock it should be a square! This is better than the DW5600. 4 Tissot PRX - Just get a PRX, it's the watch of the moment it super comfortable and it looks incredible. The quartz beats the Powermatic 80 and it's more in keeping with the 70s style. 5 Vostok Amphibia: The Amphibia haa a really cool story behind them! Look it up and you will want one. 6 Hamilton Khaki Field: There are more expensive field watches sure, but this is as iconic as any! Get this one. 7 A Swatch gent: Yes a gent! 34mm of glorious plastic watch! This is the watch that saved analogue watches and you should have one.

Great video good advice but if you can't bring yourself to spend the money on omega then stick with casio and seiko and you will never be disappointed

I guess I’m in the minority, but I owned a Willard, SPB237 and loved the way it looked but didn’t like how it wore on my wrist. It just looked small. I ended up trading it for a SPB143 which is one of my favorites.

nice selection, I do miss one of your Tudors.....not the one to get ;-)?

3:33 I love Willards/Turtles…but God, how I adore King Turtle with green grenade dial and super larga day date cyclops 🤦🏻‍♂️❤️💯👊🏻⌚️🇭🇷

I've got 2 microbrand watches (Zelos and pre-Bel Canto Christopher Ward), and I love them. Looking at a Signum right now, just need to get the OK from the Boss.

Hi Russ, I own 2 Steinhart watches, Both are very high quality, and yet I feel they are underrated. Do buy an Omega if you can, I have a Seamaster and it is fantastic 😎

People snub Panerai sometimes, but they’re great if you’re willing to do a bit of reading on which models offer the best specs for the price as the are very wearable for all wrist sizes (like some larger Seiko models.)

I like the Seiko willard, but i like the Seiko alpinist more. As for chronographs, omega speed master is my holy grail, but a sister to it is the Breitling Navitimer with side rule. Among the affordable chronographs , i own and love the Casio Edifice EF527D-1AV, but the Seiko Flightmaster is also and excellent companion, and both have slide rules which make them useful for on the go calculations.

I love your watch videos

Spot on about the G-Shock 5610. Out of all the watches I own, the 5610 is the best one by far. I can't live without it.

A G-Shock that goes under the radar, but is easy to get, cheap, and works for a smaller wrist (I also have 6.5" wrists) is the G9000 Mudmaster. I know you're mentioned it before, but at only ~$75 bucks, you get a seriously beefy watch that feels like a step up in durability over other G's (especially in this price range). Plus, it was developed with Dakar rally drivers in mind and features a mole on the caseback. :)

Buy the SPB153 - awesome looking and very comfortable. I would also recommend the SRPE93K1 I.e. the bog standard Turtle. Probably as close to the SKX007 as you can get these days. Enjoyed the review!

I bought my SSK023 I love that watch❤

I’m setting my sights on a Formex Essence thirty nine “Splash”…in orange of course.

Where can you buy a DW-D5500BB-1 online? I cant find it anywhere

The watch i would recommend people to try if they have the means is a Breitling Navitimer. Unfortunately my version the Heritage with the Integrated Bracelet and Flyback movement has been discontinued for about 15 years now, but what an absolutely stunning historic timepiece. It will forever be in my collection. 👍👍

Thanks as usual for a great vid on a lame friday

Terrific lists and recommendations! Thanks! The clue is in the code…😅

You should consider G-Shock GST B600, a great size G-Steel for small wrist. A 42mm that wears like a 39mm watch

The first time I watched you, i thought the lad is truly mad. A lot of videos and many watches later I think you are the most sensible person online. hahaha.

you have got to get your hands on a Jack Mason Stratotimer. Absolute gem of a watch for under $1K!! My jeweler at first look thought it was a Rolex. Great movement, timeless design, fantastic bracelet.

Casio A700W. It’s perfect.

I’m surprised you didn’t mention the BB58. Clearly you’re in love with it.

The glycine combat sub. You can usually find a version of the combat sub for around $300 tax and all if you really look hard enough. And definitely no more than about $375. And for a Swiss made automatic dive watch with sapphire crystal and selita sw200 and metal movement retainer ring and crown stem gasket it should be the dive watch that everyone should own. I also wanna add one more and that’s a bulova precitionist with a sapphire crystal. There is a few but I’m gonna say the bulova jetstar precitionist. For only around $400 you get an in house quartz movement from a big brand name with sapphire crystal that ticks 16 times a seconds so the seconds hand is smoother than any automatic or mechanical watch you’ll ever own unless you count the spring drive by grand seiko and the precitionist is accurate to between five and ten seconds a year. So it’s really a set and forget until day light savings. If you want something with a really smooth sweeping seconds hand that you don’t have to correct for day light savings time your spending jlc or Patek money. So yeah everyone should go out and buy a glycine combat sub auto and a bulova precitionist,preferably with a sapphire crystal.

I love the Casio 5610, Speedy, and the Hamilton is cool. I have a standard 5600 that I love, maybe I'll upgrade someday. I am a Seiko guy, I recommend the underrated Laurel Alpinist SPB243. I have many Seikos, including Sarx035, SPB143, even a GS SBGN011, but when I wear the Alpinist I don't take it off for days. It's a great all arounder.

I like the Casio Duro 106 with the Marlin

This is starting off good. Let's see. I'm only buying a watch lit with a violet light.

Before it started I was thinking the only watch I would recommend is the 5600 and boom first watch was the 5600 👌🏼

Buy a PRX Powermatic 80. You cannot go wrong.

I would love to see a review of the new Casio WS-B1000, if you would be able to. 😊

For me, it has to be the Willard in the green like yours, really want one.....just got to somehow justify the cost. Favourite in my collection right now is the new GBM-2100A that G-shock have just released. They have fixed all the problems with the GM-2100. Now it has Solar, bluetooth (if you want it ?!) , beautiful colours and got rid of the nasty illegible negative digital display and replaced it with a positive display. It is now legible and beautiful.....as a result I sold my GM-2100-1AER (which I did love, but couldn't read the time on it) and bought a GBM-2100A-1A2ER which has a Vapour Blue dial.......gorgeous.....check it out.....

On hols in London and made it to the G-Shock store. The Casiotron is now £499. Bought a purple jelly 5900 instead

Personally I think the Seiko Recraft series doesn’t get enough attention

the Sekio 007 is probably the watch I would suggest everyone starting out should get into. at it's core it's a Very capable watch having certified 200M Dive resistance, it's so widely produced that there are endless Mod's you can get into with it should you go down that road, and if you wanted to you could support a enthusiast brand like "Islander" who build a Identical version but with a better sum of parts than the Original 007. ether way you go it's a must EXPERIANCE watch IMO. even the snoby of watch owners respect the 007's for Sekio's legacy and significance to the Watch culture it has provided. a 007 is often the mechanical watch that starts the average person down the road to a Grail watch of great signficance like a speed master, or a sub or any other "luxury" brand that no one considers in the begining. for that reason it's a MUST have.

Just an FYI. Casio dropped the U from the 5610 model lineup as all of them now have the updated module and they dumped the old SKU. They're back to just being the 5610-1 again

Please do another video on the M-HKR

Never ownned a G-Shock. Rocked a Suunto Vector for a couple of decades though. A watch I think everyone should own? Vostok Amphibia.

Just love the speedmaster, but don’t think I would buy that, because of the price. For that kind of money I could buy so many cool watches! One of the watches others should consider is the Orient Kamasu watch. Specially the bluish green dial. 🔥

Great stuff! I wear my Willard (Highly influenced acquisition by MWC) more than my Speedy. Of course the bezel isn't perfectly aligned and I'm not sure how much time it loses as it doesn't seem to be consistent, but I love it! 👍

One watch in my collection everyone should own... Hmm... One of the Citizen Promaster Land series PMD56-2952/51 or AT6080/85... I have the 2952 and the 6085. Sometimes I flip them and always end up buying a replacement within a month or two.

Atm I'm torn between buying the 5610u and the GD-350, I already own the negative blue B5600 which is similar to the 5610u though.

July now...can we expect our MWC x Radcliffe field watch deliveted this month...???...cheers.

I dream of one day being able to appropriately afford a Seamaster, Heritage in Snow White, and Tudor black bay 58. They will come one day!

please review the gwb 5600 its quite literally the best Casio watch you can buy for very cheap

I have the 5610, it's a brilliant everyday watch. What do you think of Baltic watches Russ?

Great watches.Great fun.Great energy. I think I need a rest.

They missed an opportunity with the led backlights. They could have introduced some color.

I don't care the size of the watch, if I want it I buy it, just not make it satellite dish size like Fossil made lately

great choices!!!

Citizen WATCH Promaster PROMASTER NB6021-17E MARINE series - hands down should be on the list - hardened titanium with miyota 9000 series for under 500 - I have seen them test to within one second on a timegrapher right out of the box - try THAT with any Seiko

I'm surprised you did not go for the Seiko SNJ025 instead of the green Willard. Or maybe your favourite Arnie SNJ037 ;)

A few In there I can really appreciate, here's a few I've been impressed with if you like getting your monies worth - the Proxima PX1703, A Militado VH31 quartz, an Addiesdive pilot watch and most Baltany watches, I think it's time you had a look at some Russ!

Maybe add mtgm900da-8cr same or less price of square and get metal band

As much as I like the square 5600, I prefer the GBD 200 as it retains the iconic shape but has (in my opinion) a much better display and some really cool colours. And (some models) can be had for less than $200 AUD 😘

If you have the 5610u you can forget about all the other stuffs👍🏼😁💯

Really want a Henry archer akva

Casio 5610 is a solid choice. Sure, it doesn't wear well with a suit and the almost inaudible alarms are pretty useless IMO. But apart from that, it is a great watch. The Farr and Swit Wayfinder is a great casual pub/beach bar watch with a fantastic lume that will get people talking. The Invicta Pro Diver is a great, affordable beater watch when you don't want to scratch up your precious little Rolex., LOL.

Your videos are so intresting
