I once met a 94 year old retired watchmaker through work. Obviously, I asked him his recommendation for a budget Swiss Watch. Without hesitation, "Tissot!" Was his reply. He'd only retired at 92 because he was finding it hard to see the parts! Legend.

Bulova and Tissot are both so close to pure class category. Citizen is my personal favorite, so the Citizen Group watches I’m biased towards. Eco-Drives over Seiko 5 Automatics for me. Steeldive would rival Seiko if they cleaned up the logo.

Fossil watches actually got me into watch collecting...because I owned one that broke when trying to change the battery after died, then replaced it with another fossil watch that broke AGAIN when changing the battery, even after taking it to a watchsmiths. After that point I actually took an interest in buying a watch that was worth the money.

MVMT is what got me into watches. As soon as it came in the mail, I had a funny feeling that it was not worth the $120 that I spent. After a few years it broke, so I did some research and got myself a Hamilton and a Bertucci.

Wait for real? I never had a quartz fossil but my mechanical one from my company given to me for my 5th year of service; still works after 8 years but I don’t wear it much because the bracelet links(4th year? was when bracelet broke) was the one that gave up and just kept it in my watch box. Also never had a cheap quartz watch (or gshock) that broke yet after battery replacement so this is a weird thing. But good to know, thanks for sharing.

personally putting tissot up one, tho I might be biased because my first swiss watch was a prx and I just got another Tissot, but for $400 for the quartz prx, the finishing and dial and history are just really unbeatable. Sure other brands have a lot of history for cheaper, but tissot watches just feel quality in a way that you dont normally get around the pricepoint

Impressive video! I like your relaxed style and your lack of snobbery. This is the area of watch buying that I reside in and I happen to think it's the most fun and exciting. We have hundreds of watches available to us at prices we can afford and we get watches that we're not afraid to wear & use. I can't think of a time where I'd feel comfortable going out with a £20k Rolex on my wrist so I don't have any desire to own one. Well done for putting Sekonda on your list. For some reason they seem to be the forgotten brand among watch reviewers and that puzzles me. It's a brand with genuine horological history. Ok they're Chinese made these days but the company is British. I'd buy a Sekonda before a fashion brand or an Invicta any day of the week. I think they're a good brand for an everyday wearer and for people who want to get into watch collecting but don't want to be investing a small fortune in the hobby. My grail brands are Seiko, Orient, Tissot, Yema, Casio and Citizen but I don't turn my nose up at Sekonda.

Recently had to return three 'Depth Charge' GMT watches that I bought during the blackfriday sale, I was so excited to own them but when they arrived I was so disappointed with the quality, visually they looked good but all three had the same problems, the bezel rotation were not smooth at all, they were clunky and had so much back-play. But what really made me decide to return them is the GMT hour hand always lagged/fell behind and could get overlapped by the main hour hand, all three watches did this and I even started to doubt maybe if it's normal for a GMT watch 😂 since they were my first GMTs (and I'd change: Put Seiko in the Top Tier and Swap G-shock and Casio and I'm glad you included 'Accurist' in this list)

I appreciate and respect your tier list. The only thing I’d change is to put Bulova in pure class. Their top tier watches are phenomenal- their Jetstar for example is a to-die for watch, and their Sinatra is wicked nice. One more thing, the Invicta 1953 and Invicta Pro Diver SW200 I think would put Invicta in would buy, if they only made those watches. I agree with you that their bulky watches ruin it for them. Lastly, Glycine watches are hell-a-nice, and I would put them in would buy category. Once again, great tier list!

I generally agree with this ranking, save regarding Swatch. If you want a Swatch that can stand a normal day-to-day use, you need to take one from the "Irony" series (rather expansive, an Orient would be better then). The plastic ones can have their Strap pin broken after two days (So it happened for me) while the glass is a scratch magnet of the first magnitude (a nail suffices). So I would file the brand a bit lower.

Thanks for another insightful video. I do have a question. You justifiably put fashion brands like MVMT and Armani in the 'avoid' category. I'm wondering, however, where you might rank Vincero. On the surface it's an 'avoid' brand. But when you look at some of their automatic offerings the specs look pretty good on paper. The Vincero Argo dive watch, for example, has a Myota 9000-series movement, sapphire glass, industry-standard stainless steel, etc. It seems that Vincero is upping its game, certainly compared to MVMT, Daniel Wellington, etc.

@TopTierTicker 6 ай бұрын

Tough one. Like you say, it looks like they're trying to actually make some decent watches now... But it's hard to shake the reputation. It'll take a few years to start changing opinion, and whilst the fashion watches are still front and centre on the website, it's hard to take them seriously

Great video. For what it's worth, I would grade the ones you mentioned as follows: TTT: Casio; Orient PC: Tissot; Hamilton; Citizen; Seiko; G-Shock WB: Bulova; Victorinox; Timex; Swatch S: Marathon; Spinnaker; Alpina; Invicta; Accurist; Sekonda A: Armani; Fossil; MVMT I have four Bulovas and would love to put the brand in 'pure class'; but, I agree that, until it ditches about three quarters of its catalogue, that can't happen. Laco, Certina, Glycine, Stowa and Junghans might all be worth a mention, depending on the price range we're looking at; but none of these are too out of place in a list that already includes Hamilton, Tissot, Marathon, Citizen and Seiko.

That's a sensible list, and I can see your point with them Laco for me are slightly out of this category in terms of pricing, Junghans also. Certina could've featured for sure.

Lorus should've been in this ranking. They are a subbrand of Seiko use Seiko movements and are extremely affordable. I would recommend Lorus watches to anyone who wants an automatic watch under 200€. Now, I would also recommend to spend a little bit more and get a Citizen or an Orient watch, but if 200€ is a hard limit and the person does not want to spend anymore, I think Lorus is the way to go. Personally I buy Lorus watches if I know I won't be wearing this style of watch a lot, but I still want it in my gollection, like a gold coloured watch or an orange dial.

I love these 3 brands so much as they put out really good-looking, value-for-money watches and it's really easy to build a collection with them, though mine is still small (Seiko 5 SNK23, Seiko SNKE49, Casio Duro 44mm, Orient Bambino Gen2 V2, Timex Weekender and the Tissot PRX Quartz). I will be letting go of my Weekender soon to make way for a Hamilton Khaki Field.

@dominicprovenzano7669 4 ай бұрын

Seiko is definitely more Versatile than orient. But the orient Kamasu and Bambino are just about as good as you can get in the budget category. I think Seiko wins though because of the impression a nice Seiko leaves on non watch fans. Their reputation is worldwide and very few people know orient outside of the watch community. Seiko also has more options, but orients budget watches are the best to me.

Citizen is currently quite underrated for me, for an entry watch it is such a good value since the experience of the solar eco drive is really just a no-fuss watch. No hiccups on it for the last 3 years. So i feel like it is tied for me with Tissot as Tissot ties with its heritage and brand recognition. While i noticed that my Tissot PRX automatic, i notice the power reserve got worse after the 1st year and had to have it serviced.

Can't really comment on SEIKO as never had one wrist but their alignment issues put me off. Orient on my radar, again never had on wrist but not sure I would have them above Tissot. Casio yeah!!

I think Citizen has moved above Seiko as of lately.

I’d have put Hamilton further up in pure class. They have history and they’re very affordable Swiss made watches that look amazing and can be dressed up or down.

@TopTierTicker 6 ай бұрын

I love them, just a little one dimensional. I'd like to see them experiment with some different styles! But they are the best at what they do

@kevindavis6093 Ай бұрын

Invicta on top tier 😂😂

For a sub $200 category, Orient is way ahead of Seiko or Tissot. I've Kamasu teal version 1. Better movement, sapphire crystal, 200m wr, better than any Seiko 5 current line-up.

Love the rankings. I think my only change would be to move GShock up to the top tier. Big wrist folks like myself really appreciate those glorious pieces!

@Jamal-gu5nw 18 күн бұрын

I think Orient is not over Tissot and G Shock and some Fossil watches are pure class watches and Alpina is not so bad like this

Hello, in my opinion, the value of the watches we use depends on us. The quality of the watch we wear on our wrist, its price, the feelings we have when buying that watch make us feel good. This thing that makes us feel good may not mean anything to someone else. For example, my Hamilton Khaki watch that I wear on a day when I wear sportswear does not attract attention, while my Quartz Fossil Military watch, which I bought much cheaper, attracts attention and can start a dialogue. For example, none of my Seiko, Tissot, Hamilton, TagHeuer watches received a positive comment like my Armani watch, in fact, it did not attract any attention. I think our watches, which we do not value because they are fashion brands, are enjoyable watches.

Pro diver is a decent entry level watch. And I rather enjoy the 1953. Most of them are garbage yes, but they have a couple of decent watches

Nice to see affordable brands being ranked also, not only the Patek, Rolex, AP...Personally I'd switch Tissot and Orient, but I'm not very familiar with Orient (only handled 1 or 2 Orients). But Tissot are top tier for me. Love the video!
