Teddy's channel was made for those who really love watches and only for them. Whoever makes fun of other people ,cause they wear cheaper watches, and value a person according to his big pocket, can take their Richard Mille or other abominations,and stick it in their... Money can't buy good taste, and certainly can't make a nice character. Love you all my friends and greetings from Greece.

I have a Tag Heuer 2000 quartz that I bought new in 1997 (pre LVMH takeover). It has spent 90% of my days since then on my wrist. It has been serviced by Tag a couple of times and works perfectly and is extremely accurate. It never looks out of place with jeans and a t-shirt or a formal suit. It is an everyday essential that has served me well for over 26 years.

I do not feel good without a good watch on my wrist. ⌚

Hamilton Khaki Field is the go anywhere, do anything every day wear. Not too expensive, but not too cheap. Swiss automatic, reliable, accurate. Changing the leather for quick change FKM rubber means you can change at will and when you want!

I totally agree that dive watches are maybe more functional than a chronograph. I use my dive watch bezel almost everyday to cook noodles and I feel like I am James Bond while doing it. At the end of the day it's about fun.

As a young collector I have a chronograph, a dress watch and everyday watch and I think that is perfect for me. The chronograph is a Q timex 40 mm with a leather strap the dress watch is a vintage oris big crown and the everyday watch is a lorus automatic with a blue dial.

That bit in 'Raiders' where Indiana Jones finds the grail (holy grail cup) is actually humble in appearance, utilitarian, and unassuming. Love that each persons grail watch reflects this.. doesn't always have to be a bling monster :) And sometimes you have to buy a few silly choices, and even expensive choices, to find that humble watch that you can be 'enthusiast'ic about daily. Hopefully, don't have to go through swamps, jungles & pyramids like Indy to find this out!

My Casio Duro is my diver/beater/quartz all rolled into one, I have a no-name cheap Invicta as my dress watch (I know what you're thinking, but it actually looks legit), a Timex Q GMT Pepsi as my traveler’s watch, and a Casio Lineage as my everyday GADA. I’m quite happy with that. 😊

I'd like to add an 8th type just for fun: that watch that you love but hold back on buying it because of other collectors might say. For the longest time I was in love with the King Seikos and held myself back from getting it because its movement was subpar and everyone in the community was saying that it was an overpriced piece of garbage. I then realised that I loved it and its design made me smile so much that I wouldn't really care about what other collectors had to say, cause in the end, I was the one wearing it everyday. My King Seiko SPB279 makes me happy everyday 🙌🏼 that's the thing about this hobby, many times it doesn't make sense and it doesn't need to 🙂

As a young collector of 23 years old and a just finished bachelors degree + first full time job, I celebrated all of this with my first more expensive complication (Moonphase) watch. I got myself the lovely Mühle Glashütte Teutonia IV Bluemoon which can easily be dressed up with a suit for the office, but also looks great with a more casual poloshirt. Other than the Moonphase, I have as an everyday beater my Timex Marlin Chronograph, as my Quartz the Gshock 2100 in silver and as my Diver the Zelos Swordfish 42. And I love all of them, because watches are simply just amazing! 😃

I consider the quartz to be able to fit into other categories as you could have a quartz beater or dress watch. I also consider GMTs to be a complication. My six are Daily, Sport/Weekend, Beater, Evening, Complication and Color/Wild Card.

I own quite a few watches but my favourites are the Sinn 556ib and glasshutte original seventies panorama date. No idea what categories they fall into but I love wearing them. And that’s really all that matters to me

Teddy just wanted to say thank you for stating that all watches are a luxury. I recently aquired a few and I am enjoying the journey, especially the history and study of horology. Thanks for being an honest broker and extremely cool horology nerd, it's been quite impressionable. Keep up the great work.

My first watch was a Seiko Dec 1975 Pogue. It is 48 years later, and I am still wearing it as my everyday watch.

A TOP RECOMMENDATION: The expanding Seiko SSK GMT line is excellent and Seiko has steadily released fun color ways, limited editions and it has modding support already. I got one for my father and its turned him into a watch guy. He wears that thing across continents and into glacial waters. He's a mad lad but the watch can easily withstand the rough stuff and still look more than nice enough for the dinner date. The bracelet is also quite good for the price point and better than previous seiko bracelets. Jangles with charm but is sturdy. Runs well better than stated +45/-45 also.

Watch's can be unnecessary until you make them .. necessary. Integrate them back into your life, daily routine, daily use. Learn and use the complications of each watch you get. I started collecting for a simple reason - how cool is it to get excited about wearing a different watch each day? Its great fun. The variety is off the charts. Vintage, modern, style, size, materials used, looks. Watch's are cool.

Teddy is the ultimate watch enthusiast. Absolutely non brand driven, just pure fascination in the field

Terrific video! I started working from home at the start of COVID and I miss wearing my dressier watches. But, after this video I've decided to change straps and maximize their versatility. Thanks for the push Teddy!

Started with 3 different gshocks in the BOH restaurant industry, grabbed a fossil machine chrono to mix things up, just pre-ordered the Henry archer verden GMT in silt, and now i am eyeing t some of those B&M Rivieras cause I want a blue watch but that will have to wait

1. Everyday - seiko SRPE 2. Dive Watch - Orient Ray 2 or kamasu 3. Beater - Gshock DW5600 (solar) 4. Quartz - Casio Vintage & Youth series (if you wanna go digital), Timex weekender or Easyreader 5. Dress watch - Orient Bambino or Timex marlin 6. Travel (GMT) - seiko SKX GMT or Casio royale 7. Complication - i was just talking about affordable

For a beater watch I highly recommend both the Casio F 91 W and the Timex Expedition. I currently wear an Expedition as my daily watch because I genuinely love how it looks, it's surprisingly durable, and it's very easy to clean. I work in a brewery so I'm usually covered in grain dust, trace amounts of industrial cleaning chemicals, sweat, wax, and sometimes beer at the end of my day so a cheap "disposable" watch that's durable and easy to clean is perfect. The F91W is a legend for a reason. They're cheap, they're reliable, and they just refuse to die out of pure spite. They aren't lookers, but because they're so generic and plain/cheap looking they blend in and disappear regardless of your outfit. If you're lucky enough to actually break or lose an F91W just walk into a Walmart and drop $30 and you're up and running again in minutes.

The missing category: Vintage. If you consider yourself an enthusiast, you've got to try a few vintage watches.

my take: -beater & quartz - I take a 45 buck smart bracelet thats the most comfortable and on the go -everyday is the most important because it can be any of the other categories depending on your lifestyle, my choice is the GS snowflake -dress watch is for me a stealth wealth kinda thing and daily I wear a suit with a GS so I choose an Orient bambino -dive watch is kinda a grail for people for the looks and its nice at home when I'm cooking, GS lake suwa diver is my choice -travel and complication isnt my thing since your smart device is really best for both

The Tissot Gentlemen is my #1 go to watch even though I have 6 others. Not too expensive so if you lose it or break it or have it stolen it's not a huge deal+ it looks good with everything.

A couple years ago I picked up a Casio GW-7900. Was hesitant as I thought it'd be too big, look generic, etc. But I wear that way more frequently than I imagined. It also has some more "out there" complications/functions that I use; world time, moon phase, tide. Plus it's solar so no worrying about it. Partial downside is the strap does pinch a little. Great relatively inexpensive watch.

Picked up a amzwatch's watch as my first watch last month and I’m absolutely in love with it. Perfect size, looks elegant, very comfortable. Now my only problem is holding off from buying more watches so quickly!

Referring/comparing the Everyday Watch to the “blue suit or white tee ordark wash denim jeans” was one of the best things I’ve heard. Great content and insight buddy.

got my 39mm with the white dial on the 3-link "Bader" bracelet watch on amzwatch 3 weeks ago and am loving it to pieces. Absolute fantastic watch that wears super comfortable on my 6.75 inch wrist. Chose the 3-link over the 5-link bracelet for the toolless quick adjustment. Way more comfortable than my Longines Hydroconquest 41 mm.

The dive watch is the ultimate watch to be in one's collection: 1. It is the ultimate sports watch 2. It can be worn everyday 3. It can go from work to a social setting with ease 4. There is a wide variety of prices for anyone's budget 5. It comes in enough color dials and bezels to accommodate your ward robe & personality style

I’ve owned many watches over the years, some moderately expensive, and I will always maintain that if I could only have once watch to wear for the rest of my life it would be my Breitling Aerospace. I’ve taken mine from the streets of Hanoi to the summit of Chimborazo and diving in the Red Sea and it has always performed without flaw. The titanium bracelet and case make it incredibly comfortable and the functions on it make it perfect for any situation. It is a perfect watch.

Over the years, I've come to appreciate the art of dressing down a dress watch, like wearing a red flannel shirt and my Tissot Heritage 1943 Petite Seconde.

My collection is eclectic, but every watch has one thing in common, you can get the time at a glance. Busy watch faces with excessive complications leave me cold, but to each their own! Thanks for content. Bring back your fragrance videos.

I bought a G shock DW5600E for the nasa connection and as a beater. Fell in love with it and thought, I dont want this to get damaged. Bought another g shock GW5000U, same thing fell in love with it 😂. So still no real beater in my very small collection. Great video as allways. These are awsome for me who just started the Journey. Thanks.

That Tudor Black Bay 36 has my eye for sure. I love how it can fit so many roles.

One of the things that makes buying watches online difficulty is lug to lug size. A 40mm watch on me could look fine or ridiculous just because of the length of the watch. I think a video comparing different styles of watches for certain wrist sizes would be interesting. With a 6.5" wrist, I tend to stick around the 38-41mm watch size.

I use the dive bezel on my Luminox fairly regular. Amy time I can use my watch to prevent even touching my phone I’m all for it. Never fails you check you phone for time and spend 30 minutes on it doing other stuff.

My beater is the Seiko Sport 5 SRPG35 (Field) , my everyday is the Seiko SPB317 (Slim Willy) or the YEMA Meangraf Super B70, and my dress is the Bulova Lunar Pilot.

The Citizen by Citizen is a) dressy, b) ultra accurate quartz, c) Zaratsu gorgeous, d) sporty enough, e) solar - never needs a battery and f) missing from Teddy’s scrutiny. It puts the GS 9F watches to shame at half the price.

Great NY video. Enjoyed your content, and after 20 years of collecting, I "flushed" my collection during 23, spurred on by my planned trip to Switzerland. I sold a couple of watches, but more importantly gave about 7 away to start, hopefully, new watch enthusiasts (along with links to your vids!). Spot on the categories- got the Gentlemen and an AT for Everyday, PRX and a Jetstar for quartz high accuracy, Tudor 1926 dress, along with GS in a GS44 case), a Hamilton Murph for field, and the Glycine Golden Eye Combat PVD black for my beater. World time duties covered by Balls Roadmaster Worldtime black dial/red bezel, and GS GMT blue dial. Enjoyed the journey with ya last year, looking forward to what's next. (and settling in on enjoying my updates)

Is there a video of Teddy talking about his wardrobe? That would be a welcomed vid 👏

The thing you said, Teddy, about symbols of representing and expressing who you are with watches you wear is just💯💯💯

One benefit I found to using a cheap Casio as a travel watch is that the ones with resin cases and straps don't seem to trip off airport metal detectors, saving one less hassle and potentially lost item when passing through security.

BB58 Iis my beater/daily wearer, absolutely perfect alrounder. the more expensive pieces come out for more special occasions.

I feel like a nice diver covers the “everyday” category too.

I appreciate how you said “consider” instead of “get.” I think it sets you apart from other content creators.

My beater is a Lum-tec. Small Ohio company, family owned I believe, rugged, workaday quartz watches for $500-600. Actually, I have two of them now. Great value, water resistance, good lum, rugged stainless cases usually PVD coated, warranties, good service, variety of dial designs, bracelets, masculine look.

Thank you for elevating my beater sub $500 watch collection to luxury status. I do find it interesting that some, mainly men in my experience, have continued the practice of watch wearing while most of their peers have abandoned it with glee. Just this last New Year's Eve my brother in-law and his friend were commenting how they don't wear watches and why. My only response was to hold up my new Seiko Presage SRPB43 and agree with them that watches aren't necessary.

In the diver category I like the Citizen Pro master (used for a decade by the Italian Navy), and the Marathon.

I am surprised how closely my own collection matches up to this video. Everyday: Monta Noble Dive: Omega SMP 2254.50 Beater: G-Shock DBD-200 Quartz: a vintage 1973 Omega Deville Quartz. But I plan on letting it go and I am honestly looking at a Breitling Aerospace. 😊 Dress: vintage 1965 Hamilton Dateline A-279 in 14k gold Travel: Christopher Ward C63 GMT. Also a great everyday. Complication: I just ordered an Omega Speedmaster Racing (40mm) on Wednesday.

Over the 30 years of wearing many types of wrist watches, the perfect use of the Diver watch (for me) was to keep track of my breaks while on the job. I have never been diving. My Citizen Eco-Pepsi is my fav diver. The watch I wear everyday since I bought it is the Tsuyosa Auto.

I would call the "Beater" category "Adventure". Something you'd be willing to wear snowboarding, MTBing, trail running, diving, ect....

I agree with this entire vid but I'd say that there's one category that's missing and it's the "wildcard design" watch, one that looks out there and different from everything else you might own. for some people this might be something super classical, for some others this might be a LED watch like a Computron or a Pulsar, even a milspec field watch or a watch that's just built well enough and looks really fun

It's good to reward ourselves sometimes . While I'm not one to spend on high-end watch (I spend too much money on travel, lol), I can appreciate your gorgeous and timeless watch. I love how it's a symbol of all your hard work.And i choose NKUWAN every time honestly

Another great video, thanks Teddy. Would love to have you do a video or an article on books on horology in your library. I'm interested in understanding the many types of movements and the history of time keeping. Thanks again for all that you do. Aloha!

I have CW, Longines, Tag and Omega and I love them all. They all have good memories of different stages in my life.

My beater/everyday is my new $45 Timex Expedition Scout. Quartz movement, absolutely love this watch. Simple field watch design that depending on the band can be everyday wear or even dressed up a bit.

I love vintage dress watches. I wear my 1970 Bulova dress watch all the time. It has a gold rolled dial, case, and partially expandable band with a diamond at 3 and 9 o'clock. I'm not sure if they are real diamonds but they sure are pretty. It has an 8EA 17j movement that I serviced myself and gave a new mainspring.

Been watching your videos for a while now and was inspired to start a collection. Started with the amzwatch, its specs for price and clean looks, now am looking for a dress watch to add.

Me at your list: - quartz DW, Fossil, OP - dive Tag Heuer aquaracer - beater Casio Gshock 5600 - Every carry Seiko monster - dress Hublot bigbang unico

You've done another video on it, but highlighting the Tissot 'Gentleman' here again as an everyday watch is really striking the bullseye. It's such a wonderful watch on so many levels and a terrific value for people not endowed with unlimited funds for watches. If I could only have one watch (God forbid!) the Gentleman would be very close to the top of that short list.

Daily, beater, quartz, diver, and even dress The $50 Casio Duro (depending on the colorway and what strap you put on it) could theoretically cover five of the seven categories Teddy talked about. Am very close to purchasing one, my first watch

I just got a Seiko King Samurai for Christmas that is my first real deal watch. Grew up loving Casio's and still wear them, but this watch is amazing. One of the best deals out there in my opinion. Ceramic and Sapphire for 500 bucks and a classic look. Mine also runs about +2 seconds a day which is awesome. Couldn't recommend it more.

Love this video. As someone starting my collection, watching this helped confirm that I’m off to a good start. It just so happened to work out that I have the seven covered here with one watch each.

My favorite 2024 is the Prospex Limited Edition 1965 Recreation European Exclusive in Gradation Island Blue. The dial is stunning and the contrast when on a white strap is to die for. I will get my hands on one from amzwatch

My watches:- Quartz : Grand Seiko Snowflake Diver : Omega Seamaster 300 Chronograph Beater : Gshock GA-B2100 Everyday : Gshock MRG B5000B or Omega Speedmaster Moonphase Travel GMT : Rolex GMT Master 2 "Rootbeer" Dress : Cartier Santos ADLC

I’m starting to lean toward a quartz watch more and more. I like the grab and go nature and since I am retired now, I just don’t wear a watch all day anymore. But when I do go out, I need a watch. One that is running is a bonus!

I like the idea of summer watches. Usually something that’s colorful, fun, and represents an escape from the routine of everyday life.

For me, a smart watch is a no-brainer in a collection. With a smart watch, especially a watch with an e-sim, one can go exercise without the phone and still be reachable. And with just a smart watch and Bluetooth headphones, you got all the music you need when exercising.

Here's mine: Everyday: Modded Casio AE-1200 Dive: Orient Kamasu Beater / Quartz: Casio AQW-101 Fishing Gear Dress: Modded Casio AE-1200 with Leather Strap Travel: Modded Casio AE-1200 Complication: Citizen Attesa Moonphase BY-1004-17X

I like all types of watch but a dress watch always gets my attention the most for some reason

Love my Seiko PADI turtle. Way better accuracy than stated from the factory. +6 secs/ day on average.

I own four watches and am absolutely not a part of the mechanical watch community, but hear me out please. All four are Citizen Eco Drives. I absolutely love them. They never have to be wound or serviced. They fit me. That said, three of those four are over a decade old, so they don't have them in their offer sheet anymore. In any case, my watches are: a plain silver/white everyday/dress watch that I have worn more than 95% of the time over the last twenty years. That's probably worn over 8000 days, but my math. Then. what is roughly that same watch in black, for occasions when I can fit that stark dark pattern into my wardrobe effortlessly. Then a gold-rimmed, navy face, leather strap. And then an over-the-top (to me, who likes simple) tachymeter that my wife got me about five years ago. I'm convinced that's a great breakdown. 1 simple silver band/face for everyday/dress. 1 simple gold/navy face with leather band. And then usecase specific alternatives such as my all-black or my weekender tachymeter. Another example would be a nato band summer watch. Once again, I'm aware this doesn't fit the mould of the community, but I figured my outsider perspective might be welcomed as well.

I have also been collecting watches along these types/categories too. Now moving on to collecting watches by their design technology (spring drive, co-axial, solar-powered etc).

Wearing a Casio GBD-H2000 at the moment. GPS, fitness tracker, blue tooth enabled. Closest to a smart watch I’ll ever get. Very functional beater

I guess it depends on your job, but for me a watch is absolutely essential. Casio is fine, no need for expensive stuff, but some of us still have to wear a watch everyday. It’s not just jewellery.

My dady bought one NKUWAN and he loves it. It had been there for over 10 years when he went out with it.

Yay! Bulova Lunar Pilot :-)) my favorite watch

I've recently began my obsession as a watch collector. And i must say- out of all the luxury brands I've been researching, for me the amzwatch's watches are the most intriguing.

My Timex Expedition chronograph T49905GP checks multiple boxes: quartz, chronograph and jumping hour hand for travel or ease of seasonal re-setting.(I’m lazy and half my watches, the too-thick-for-sleeves watches, are still on Daylight Time.) It has a soft, flexible “genuine leather” strap and the price is right.

It always amazes me how much beauty and precision are added to the parts of amzwatch's watch 99% of people will never see.

I will add "modder" to the categories. I think everyone should modify to personal taste one watch in their collection. I have a Vostok that I modified into a nuclear Holocaust watch that reflects my fascination with Chernobyl. I love that watch. I love looking at it because I know what I invested in it to get it to look the way it looks. I am, in many ways, the watch's designer.

I believe the Bulova "devil diver" oceanographer is a great dive watch, too. It's affordable, looks great in mutltipe colorways, comes in a GMT, bracelet strap or a rubber strap, awesome story, and very charming of a watch.

When was about to purchase Tudor Black Bay 58, I realized that had to many divers watch, so I had decided to go for Tudor Black Bay 41mm heritage. Realized that was my end game from Tudor. Since i own rolex submariner 11610 , breitling superocean 42, seiko skx 009j ans last oris aquis. This year thinking for omega seamaster aqua terra or longines spirit green edition (chronograph) still making a decision by end of the month

This is now my favourite watch channel on KZfaq , such great content and done superbly, well done sir and I got my favourite watch at amzwatch， it hasn’t left my wrist for weeks

That Casio Duro is my go to beater watch. It’s the only watch that I use in the ocean. Still looks and functions great after three years of service.

My beater would be the gshock gm-2100, i drive and operate heavy machinery and have to do some hands on work sometimes so it's ideal. For my daily when not at work it's the Hamilton khaki field auto 38mm. Currently on the list at my Rolex AD for a 36mm DJ , oystersteel,fluted bezel, jubilee bracelet, blue motif dial with diamonds 😁

Teddy, this is another great video. I would highly recommend it to someone who's starting their watch collecting journey. It's great food for thought. The part about being a cerebral watch buyer makes a lot of sense. A watch really is an extension of our personality. Lots of people buy a watch to be in vogue with the rest of the crowd but I think a true watch collector is one who would be just as happy wearing a Casio Duro compared to his buddy who has a Rolex Sub. You're right.....A watch is a luxury, but boy, we sure do love them all the same! Thanks Teddy!

Hey Teddy. Please stop having to explain yourself that watches are unnecessary because you know what? They are! What happens in an event where all mobile phones malfunction? Us watch nerds will be the ones who will have the time readily available. Although I am being extreme, the point is this. These timepieces are very much necessary because they make us enthusiasts happy! Your content brings us joy! I think I speak for ALL enthusiasts when I say that you don’t need to put “disclaimers” for the sake of not “offending” someone. I love your content, and you should never have to explain yourself for talking about your passion. Think of it this way. Watches are an extension of fashion. The jacket you were wearing in the video “really nice by the way” I’m sure was “unnecessary” right? You don’t need 10 jackets. But you do, because style is important for expressing our individuality. Thanks for continuing to make awesome content!

That's a nice category choice, thanks Teddy! I would personally add a Bronze one, since I love having one and the uniqueness of how they old.

Good roundup, Teddy. I would also add a few more categories for consideration: field/military; pilot/flieger, novelty/funky (like MB&F, Urwerk etc.), and smart watches (Apple watch). Vintage could also be considered a category that cuts across all these different types. Finally, for women I would add “jewelry watch,” ie the watches that are bejeweled usually with lots of gemstones or diamonds, and are often offered by jewelry brands more than watch brands per se.

Thank you TEDDY . You help us to keep cleaver ideas about all watches according to it main function (dive watch, dress watch .....) . i am addicted to some watches you present for complications . The affordables dreams are LONGINES zulu time or OMEGA aqua terra WORLD TIMER and then the dream watches that will stay a dream (price) The PATEK PHILIPPE Perpetual calendar and the VACHERON CONSTANTIN perpetual calendar .

I love my titanium Eco Drive diver watch because it's so high quality with low cost, beautiful and accurate and 19 years of trouble-free service and going strong, still on the second per month.

I’d strongly consider watches from Oris.

For my lifestyle I have discovered that a DIVE watch with a 12 hour bezel works best for me but they are rare. I prefer a 12 hour bezel over a true GMT 24 hour bezel.

Another great video. Appreciated the different watch types mentioned. I would be interested to learn what other watches have an isolated hour hand, it is SO HANDY when I travel. For that reason I love traveling with my Longines Conquest VHP (Quartz) but would love to learn of many more mechanical watches that have it.

I would add the "Extravagant Watch Category"......something fun and over the top..

Thank you as always...... My humble suggestion for an ultimate universal watch would be an Alpinist GMT. Beater, dress, go anywhere, do anything, GMT and with horological significance....

Another great video, thank you, Teddy! I would add a historical/classic category. As well as some recent watches, one watch I will always keep is the Omega Constellation my parents gave me over 40 years ago. The classification by dress/sports/diver etc. is probably less relevant when buying a historical piece, but you could choose a personal connection (as I have), a design in vogue at a particular period or a watch which marked a major technical advance. I keep my 1981 Omega regularly maintained and still wear it (in fact, it's on my wrist today).

Agree with your opinion. This is a bridge book. It's a character development book. But things are building. Look forward to your review of Small Favor

Personally I have no need for a GMT. That’s what my cellphone is for. I do like the look of the Seiko 5 GMT though.
