CORRECTION: The Orient Capital V2 is 40.5mm (not 43mm). It's a good alternative to the Bambino if you want a quartz watch or something a little cheaper. My top picks are: Seiko SNK809 - amzn.to/3cq4fyH Orient Bambino V2 - amzn.to/2yROqlz Casio F-84W - amzn.to/2RvOhL1

Nice list, Brock! I hope you are well and safe buddy!

Good choices of watches for us guys who are on a budget and have small wrist.

I am a woman who likes to dress slightly androgynous and I've been rocking a cheap battery-powered watch for years and am finally able to afford a "nicer" automatic watch and your suggestions helped a lot.

1:48 - Field watches. 3:59 - Sport & dive watches. 6:06 - Dress watches. 8:35 - Minimal watches. 10:46 - Digital watches.

I wear the Casio Resin when I’m headed to the store or running quick errands. It humbles me. It reminds me that a 10 dollar watch can still look amazing and classy.

Digging the new hairstyle dude. Really like the timex weekender and Fairfield. Btw I have a g-shock and it's pretty good I must say

I came across this video because I want to gift my boyfriend a watch that will walk with him to success and will make him feel elegant. Thanks to you I have learned so much about watches. Thank you for making this video. I don't know whether to choose a Seiko Neo Classic, Seiko 5 Automatic, or an Orient Tri Star.

I can not believe how helpful this video was! As a guy with smaller wrists, it is a pain to find well fitting watches

Great video and a very good selection! I always say that a watch doesn't have to be expensive to look great and for you to enjoy it.

I think Tommy are amazing. Only cost me $50 and been wearing it for over a year and it’s clean and working!

I just subscribed Because you have a kick ass channel and I like your kick ass attitude towards the average guy buying a watch in this episode well done

Great list. I have friends who will pay for a luxury watch in installments but they drive, like a Toyota. I'll never understand adding a debt to show off the money you don't have

I'm very pleasantly surprised. Many lifestyle and fashion channels make a fool of themselves when talking about watches, but this list could as well be from a designated watch channel, everything important is here. The only things in that price range which were not included are vintage pieces and Chinese specials, but those are arguably more niche anyways.

This is better than videos by actual watch channels. Good Job.

I’m new to watches... this video is a godsend. Really well organized, phenomenal video

Another recommendation for the Dress Watches category: CASIO LTP-E148 Series. Great price, very slick look. Been using it over a year now.

Great video. I might have reached a point you probably did not consider at first. Living in a country where the exchange rate to the US dollar is 1 to 6, and earning in such a currency, keeping attention to the ratio cost-value is paramount. Keep up the excellent work. Thank you.

For me my favorite field watch is the lorus titanium. Lorus is owned by seiko and their 37mm field watch is only 6mm thick and the case is made from titanium. $78. For dress watch, it is Citizen NH8350 series watches. Better looking than the bambino with a much quieter automatic movement (8200 caliber inhouse). $99 Minimalist watch, most likely the Bering 13242-507. Sleek minimalist chronograph with blue sunburst dial and silver secondary dials and Sapphire glass. $100.

Right now I’m rocking a Timex Fairfield and a Casio Duro. I’ve got a Casio World Time and a Armitron for the gym as well.

great video. i love how detailed you went in every category with great watches with great prices 🔥

I always love your videos, though I have to admit, I thought I knew all the budget watch options, so I wasn’t really that excited about this video going in. I knew probably 80-90% of these, but you had several that I have genuinely never heard of that I’m excited to check out. Thanks for a great video as always!

Awesome audio quality. You can hear a difference compared to other menswear channels.

I recommend a Casio analogue watch which is stainless steel has a black dial and Roman numerals and that is the Casio MTP-1377D-1AVEF. It is 40mm with a depth of 10mm and comes on a stainless steel bracelet and has a water resistance of 100M. I purchased mine on Amazon UK for only £29.99 so it is well below the $100 and indeed well below $50. I love the watch, it's good quality and very wearable with almost anything. You can't go wrong with this watch. I also recommend the Casio 5610 G-Shock which if you shop around may be able to get one below $100. It is solar powered and has multiband 6 with 200M water resistance and is more wearable than the 5600 and has everything you need in a watch, I have two of them, the all black version and the standard one with the positive display, they are great rugged watches which you can expect from a G-Shock without it being too bulky on the wrist.

good top 15 for a channel that does not deal with watches

Awesome video. Very clear, concise descriptions and everything that needs to be said and nothing more. Keep up the great work!

Watching youtube watches channels increases the number of my watches...tempting

I don’t care for big watches or digital, glad you added minimalist watches to the list

Superb video! That's what I was waiting for. 👍🏻

I never had a watch, maybe I should get one now

Nice list. I own several of these. Two micro brands I would like to throw in the under $100 mix are Vaer (US) and AVI-8 (UK). Bertucci's "bargain bin," and Island Watch's Black Friday sales, are two great resources for this price point - titanium even.

Timex Fairfield FTW! Such a beautiful minimalist watch, at an extremely affordable price 👍🏾 Fantastic video, thanks MM.

May be the Vostok could be here too in this list ;)

I hate about 1/3 of the watches you review in this video, but you are 100% on your reviews. Listen to this, people. Buy what you like. This is such a good guide. OP, wear what you wear in good health (the non sarcastic way).

Solid choices! Really nicely executed video too. I bet this will end up bringing a whole bunch of new enthusiasts to the watch world :)

For the dress watch category here are a few great watches that are just beyond $100. Seiko SUP880 - it's a retagular watch that's a homage to the Cartier Tank (basically, if you're looking for a budget tank - this is the way to go.) Timex Marlin 34mm - this one is almost $200 but you can often find it on sale bringing it down to around $130 - $150. Great size, slides under the cuff easily and it's very unique looking.

Elevate your style without breaking the bank with these affordable yet stylish timepieces

10 seconds in and i gotta say i love the audio quality

Good style and taste does not have to be to pricey, these brands are the best.

I watched your video for the 1st time today. Great information!

My Man, what a video!!! Simply amazing Brock.

Another one you might want to put on your list: invicta Pro Diver. I might catch some crap for that recommendation, but it's got the NH35 movement, screw-down crown, mostly solid links (except for the end links) and it holds up reasonably well. It's a blatant Submariner homage, so you have to be cool with that, but it's a solid watch for the money. Mine keeps good time.

Great video 👍 My face lit up when I saw the Casio World Timer which incidentally I happen to wear right now. Amazing watch, has a lot of features and has a *10 year Battery* which is just insane for its price.

I want to know where you found the G Shock 5600BB for $40.00. The lowest price I found anywhere for it was $70.

Hey man I really liked your video. I just bought two watches from your list: the casio f-84w and the Orient Capital V2. I should be getting them by the end of the week, hopefully.....really excited to try out these watches

Female viewer here but I love the offerings in this list. First watch I bought for myself was the Timex Weekender Chrono. I used it everyday for the last 6+ yrs for work (leather strap), off grid adventures but not in water (nato strap), and during a construction volunteer work in Nepal. Pretty lifeproof from my experience. My 2nd is the 5600BB and I recently got the F91w gold variant. Just need an automatic dressy watch to complete my watch needs. Gonna check the SNK809 or the Bambino. Thanks! P.S. Tiny wrist here at 5.5 ish

Very nice 'everyman' video. Picked up a Timex Weekender last year and it gets regular rotation with my casual wear.

Finally, a simple but comprehensive video making it easy and approachable for us first-time buyers. Much appreciated!

Seiko SNKE87, I got it for only less than 90USD in Singapore in 2018. Love its aethetics!

Great video! I love this history and all the details with each of the watches 🙌🏽

For the people interested in the orient tristar green dial he showed off. It's the orient BEM5V002F. (The owner posted it on reddit)

I’m wearing a G Shock as we speak and I ordered my first Seiko and automatic watch today. Cheers.

Really love seiko especially their diving watches.

Hello Brock, just discovered your channel through this specific selection. Very well done, decent and honest explanations with empathy and sympathy. Thank you and regards from Belgium 🇧🇪

Hey these are really good watches for the price! I’m a watch guy and I have some expensive items but I bought the Orient Bambino, and I’ve got to tell ya that I get compliments on that watch all the time. For 100 bucks it’s an incredible deal. Thanks for doing this list and stay safe during these hard times.

*Highly* recommend the SNK models, I've had two for about a year now (one dressy, one casual) and it's been great. Not only that, but I was curious about watch modding and these watches are the perfect ones for mods because there are so many models. Great video man, I hope you're staying safe!

Brock, hope you and yours are doing well... You can never go wrong with a Seiko, Timex or Casio... I'm really liking the vintage Seiko watches as well!!

You should do another state of the watch collection sometime soon

I just purchased a Casio Royal watch with a stainless steel strap for £30 in England It’s not bad for the money I’ve not owed a Casio for twenty years. Hope you are well and self isolating safe from the coronavirus. Please keep the videos coming.

I second the orient brand in general! I have a orient ray 2 diver. Stunning watches for the price.

Great job. You definitely know the watch market. The Bambino is awesome.

Men's DW290-1V "Classic" Sport Watch Is a must on my list.

This is a great video! Thanks for providing great content!

I love your voice man! It's just so soothing

On AliExpress there are many Chinese brand watches that feature Seiko or Miyota movements with Saphire glass at a great price. Just do a KZfaq search with the terms "aliexpress watches" for recommendations.

Great recommendations. The Orient Tristar line are probably the greatest sleeper automatic dress/sports watches on the planet. The Bulova "96" line are watches a man can wear in the most formal setting, and as a bonus you can grab it and go without the need to set it. Yay quartz!

Bertucci is great, I got the a2 titanium ver. The solid bars integrated into the case is really nice.

Great content Brock! For me anything more than 100 dollars seems too much for my budget. This was really helpful. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Great video Brock! Thank you for your content brother!

I recently bought the Casio A1000M-1BEF for 85 dollars. I've been waiting for Casio to do an affordable all steel digital watch for a long time, and I'm not disappointed. One crucial thing about the Casio A1000M-1BEF is that the face doesn't look like it does in the online pictures with studio lights. It makes the face appear to be multicoloured, but in most lights it is just black. I think it would sell much better if people realised that aforementioned fact.

this is exactly the video i needed, definetly picking up a few of this options! thanks

If you get a duro change the band to metal, it’s super nice that way.

Great video! I loved your beating the DWs with the Bulova and the Timex Fairfield. Definitely way better choices. Maybe a Timex Ironman in the digital category? I prefer them over the G-Shocks because they don't look so bulky. On another subject it's so frustrating and demoralizing for me, living in Poland, hearing you guys telling the prices you have in the US. Normally watches here cost 50% more than in the US if not even more. That Bambino you show here is rather about 200 dollars. And the SNK809 is around 120. Anyway, thanks for the video!

You may try or speak about the Seiko's other brand's like Pulsar or Lorus! Those are great options and well made, Seiko's movement from quartz to automatic! Have a look on those 2 brands! They try to have everything: dress, casual, Chronograph, sport, digital maybe some Diver's! In my humble opinion, Pulsar is a great choice in front of Timex! It's one historical brand! Back in the day they build the first digital watch! Yes, Back then it was a Hamilton brand, but now is under Seiko's umbrella now!

I would also personally recommend the AVI-8 Hawker Hurricane. 43mm x 10mm Flieger for those with a bit bigger wrist on a budget. The automatic variants do peak well above $100 USD, but the quartz flavours are just under $80 USD as of 5/2/20. On another note, I'm glad to see the Casio Duro make the cut! Phenomenal watch for the price point, and I like the Duro a tad better than my own Invicta Pro Diver 8928OB (with the key difference being my $60ish Pro Diver having a Seiko NH35A automatic movement).

Great video! Looking forward to more watch related content :

The gshock 5600 wears much smaller than one may think. Because of it's dimensions. Fits good on my 6.5 inch wrist.

👍👍👍 finally. Good content! Thanks. Love the Orient.

All really excellent choices Brock, you can’t go wrong with any of them. I have several of the ones you mention including the Swatch once again which is a great watch. I regularly swim with it as it’s easy to read in the water and so light it does not affect swimming. It also shows the 30mm is indeed enough for swimming, heck, I’ve dived off diving boards and slid down water slide with it on and it’s never let in a drop! It’s also the watch Pope Francis wears daily.

Definitely have the Casio one... great for everyday purpose and don’t mind getting it beat...

If you're getting the SNK809, I really recommend changing the strap. It's really, really crap. Good watch for the money, though.

Thumbs up for mixing it up between automatics and quartz movements. This is a good list but I would add fliegers/pilot watches to this list.

Nice suggestions...cleared my doubt...got all answers

Great perspective. You nailed it.

Awesome review, thanks a lot!

Enjoyed your presentation!

Thanks for the info, very helpful.

New hairstyle fits you really well man

great video!

Can you make a video on what to wear with each of these watches? I never know what should be worm with a metal watch vs leather watch band.

I have a 6 1/4" wrist and the G-Shock square wears just fine. Because it's rectangular it wears smaller than the maximum diameter suggests. The Vostok Amphibia may be a little left field for most but it's also incredible value!

Wicked list mate.👍 more watch vids pls.

Great video! Do you think it would be possible for you to do a similar video but for shoes?

I have an SNK. Love it. I'm thinking about changing the dial because I'm not crazy about the Flieger 2 style.

I usually wear more expensive watches, but I just bought the Casio A500WA-1 world time digital watch for €30. I love how it looks with the mini map.

Keep the great content going Sir💪🏿 Peace from the DMV👍🏿

My kind of list. Good job

Nice video and I’ve seen a best watches for $25 video from one of your rivals on KZfaq RMRS most of them were Casio and Timex.

I am buying the timex Fairfield 41 in black/cream is so exited to get it

Brock, I know it says so on Amazon, but that G Shock is very unlikely to be 48mm. I have the DW5600E-1V (the classic G Shock) and the case width measures 43mm. I'm pretty sure all 5600 models have the same case dimensions. (Please somebody correct me if I'm wrong). By the way, they 5600 G Shock line is a great recommendation even for small wrists. I have 6" wrists and it still looks good (whereas I've had a 41mm Omega Seamaster that just looked too big).
