Editing mistake. Should have been a timex in that spot. (Which has a similar bezel which is likely why I mixed them up) Well spotted. 😀👍

Similar looking watches! :)

Own the Timex Q GMT and like you describe of watches in this price range, it feels light and lower quality in hand and the GMT hand is difficult to set correctly, but I love the look, credentials and it’s lightness = comfort. “Good watch” 👍🏻

I love this channel, it makes me remember the basic principles I was taught when I did my economics degree forty five years ago; principles such as "diminishing maginal utility", "market positioning" and "conspicuous consumption". Curves keep appearing in my head. I have a few Christopher Ward watches (six and counting) and at this point in my life I can't justify spending more money on a watch just to buy brand recognition. My CW watches haven't had any problems with either build quslity or accuracy and a couple of them are now over ten years old. I've also been wearing the same Pulsar (Seiko) kinetic watch for sailing and motorcycling for the last twenty five years and that watch still looks the same and still has the same space age accuracy.

Thanks - It started out as a way of adding visual interest, but it turns out not everybody knows every watch so adding the watches mentioned for context has been useful for many 😊

Now the bot comments are taking over. This has been posted every last of his 7-8 videos

Same

@@patrik3450 your comment had me questioning if i was an actual bot for a second there 😂😂

@@troytona no problem 😅😂 but there are a lot of them everywhere on KZfaq these days.

he really is unique in terms of his analyses. like the underlying theme of the video, he seems to differentiate his approach vs. other watch reviewers

☺️

Same here. Afternoon cappuccino from my Gaggia, and the video. Wondering about selling my Tudor - oof, their secondary values tumble - great for buyers of pre-loved.

@@mindfulawareness1They sure do tumble. I’ll hang on to my Black Bay Heritage a while longer LOL

@@eyeheartsushi2212Same here! 😂 I thought it would be time to let go of my heritage 41. But let’s enjoy it a lil longer 🙈

lol.... sounds wonderful (at least the coffee does) 😂😂

Agreed on the water resistance. I just want enough to not worry about it getting wet when I wash my hands or to possibly swim in.

and who needs a screw down crown? Not me, I hate these things, just somthing to worry about or break :(

The thing is, a water resistance rating doesn't correspond to actual use in, say, diving. So the depth rating is in general way overstated. 300 meters may be more like 100 meters in real use. Fortunately, 100 meters is almost 3x the recreational depth limit.

It is same in the sports car world. I have an old Corvette ZR1 that is capable of speeds of over 200mph. I'll never go that fast, but it sure is a cool feeling driving a car that can. It is satisfying owning a thing that was designed to do something extreme, even if you never test those limits. None of that may appeal to a person, and for those people they make Toyota Corollas.

​​@@overbuiltlimited you dont have be going 200mph to enjoy a corvette, you can still feel the car's power and handling when driving normal, ive enjoyed plenty of fast cars without breaking traffic laws. you can't feel a watch's 300m rating when washing your hands.

Thanks for contributing . Cheers 😊😊

Definitely can last forever with periodic service.

Seiko Turtles are pretty good replacements of SKX watches. Sure, they cost more but that can be attributed to inflation. And if you don't need 200m but 100m is good enough then the 5KX aka SRPD series are great and cost $200-300.

Well said. As a mechanical Engineer I feel exactly the same.

Those Seiko movements though. How do they jibe with the engineering mind? I am eyeing the spb143 with the 6r35. I would just like the accuracy to be good enough to not have to think about it. I am trying to digest what another KZfaqr (Andrew Morgan) recently said - if you’re worried about seconds per day, you’re doing it wrong.

@@yleexot touche. I've been lucky with mine In fact that is the only Seiko I own hahaha

@@yleexotforget about accuracy. Nobody is wearing a mechanical watch to accurately know the time. It’s just a piece of jewelry with engineering involved

@@yleexot Couldn’t agree with you more! As a long time Seiko fan it infuriates me that even the 4R movements can be regulated to +/- 6 or 7 secs per day, and even better on the 6R movements, yet Seiko doesn’t do this simple procedure before overcharging you for the watches that have these movements?!! But it gets better, I have a SLA051 Willard (£2500 when new so not insubstantial money) re-interpretation with undecorated GRAND SEIKO movement 8L35 got it, was running -12 secs per day, gave it 8 weeks to bed in, same! Had to pay good money at a Grand Seiko boutique to regulate it and restore its water resistance back to new, now running +0.5 to 1 sec per day, consistently, superb, and despite all this, love the watch, Apocalypse Now was THE movie when I was a teenager and had to have a Willard! Why Seiko, why the eff do you do this shit? Regulate your bloody watches! Even startup micro brands do so FFS! I will add I am a Mechanical Engineer so precision and making sure things run as they SHOULD do is part of my DNA. So can’t agree with Andrew Morgan, despite liking his channel.

SPB143 - also a favorite of mine. So far, likely my most worn watch of the year 😊

Glad to hear it 😃

Glad you found it helpful. Always remember to do your own research as well. 😊😊

Thanks a ton 😊

You are too kind. Don't know if I'm that good, but am happy that there are some that appreciate my approach 😃

cheers 😃

Glad it was helpful! 😃

Very kind of you. Just happy you found me 😃

Thank you 😃

Thanks and welcome 😃😃

Good choice! .😊

glad you found it worth your time 😃

Who's the favorite of your children? Probably easier to answer for me than my favorite watch... 😂😂

Thank you so much 😀

Glad you found it worth a watch 😊

Wow, thanks! 😊

Glad you found it helpful 😊

Very welcome - thanks for watching 😃😃

Great to hear! Cheers 😊

Much appreciated! 😊

Speedy for the win 👍👍

Don't get me started on speaker cables, open back headphones and tube amps....... 😂

Glad to hear it! 😃

Welcome 😊

Glad to have you as a supporter 😃

Thanks, will try my best .😊

Yeah - I threw it in as an easter egg, because I feel they have some relevant offers 😃

Happy to hear it - welcome aboard 😃

Agreed. This brand doesn't get the respect it deserves... And they make some amazing watches.

Cool watch sir ! 😃

Google Damien Hirst Mickey Mouse Swatch... I have a full set of both watches. It's hotter than the moonswatch 😉

How are you liking the ocean king compared to your other 2 watches?

Thanks... and... Awesome collection. Good choices 😃😃

Brutal is a very appropriate way of describing it. Especially for the bank account potentially 😊😊

@@Mike.thiswatchthatwatch 💰😁

Thanks again! 😊

Thanks for watching 😃

Thanks 😃

You are welcome 😊

😂😂😂 me looking at the gold bronze ... went with tudor instead lol

Lol. True. 😂😂😂 I readily admit that I didn't check and just went on my historical recollection of their pricing. I know they've had gold models at high prices that I kind of always ignore but turns out they are getting quite expensive. Not entirely sure it's justified in every instance.

Thanks 😀

Thanks 😃

You are so welcome! 😀

Very kind - Thank you 😃

Thanks - 1-2k is the sweet spot in many ways 😃

Thanks for sharing! 😊

So nice of you 😃

Thanks - glad you found it worth your time 😀

Thanks for watching! 😃

I have the 143 and keep looking at the 093 😂 suprised you still love the 143 even though owning the upgrade. I think need to just stick to the 143.... do you wear 143 on the bracelet?

@@daveLin104 haha they’re just two different watches that share the same dna. i think the 143 is honestly a better fit for my wrist and i might be the only person with both that prefers the 143. I like the white indices and thicker bezel. what i wish i had was the finishing and thinner movement of the 093 but in the 143 design. I wear the 143 mostly on MN strap and sometimes on natos. i might sell the 093 for P39 but we’ll see. It is a very special watch but a little small for my liking.

Speedmaster is always a good choice 😃😃

Thanks 😊

"Nearly New" watches from companies are also worth a look. Managed to save almost £200 on my nearly new Christopher Ward watch a couple months ago!

Second hand enhances value even more, more often than not for sure 😊

Thanks for sticking around for all this time. Glad to see I'm still providing something you find worth watching 😃

True. Considering the price of making them it's unusual that are still variances 😃

Glad you found it worthy of your time 😊

True - agree. Swatch is not big on stocking old parts. Planned obsolesence clearly isn't just an IT/tech/apple & samsung thing.... 😊

lol. Don't think there's a lot of money in it 😂😂

Glad to hear it 😀

Yes - As long as the case is specced to handled it. You would have to have it serviced to change the battery (theoretically you could do it yourself but I would worry about maintaining the seal). At the end of the day quartz just isn't "cool" 😊

thanks 😊

Agree. Seconday is definitely worth paying attention 😃

You bet! 😃

Agree that a watches lifespan is heavily dependant on how much it gets treated like a beater... Yes - I am going this year. Flying out friday 😊
