I LOVE YOU GUYS !! Thank you for being a great Sport ❤

I’m not poor! I’m underfunded.

Nico could film his videos in Antarctica and still get noise complaints😂😂

This is not poor enough. We need Nico to do an Aliexpress collection.

Citizen saved my life! Was swimming and diving in to a river. I come up from the bottom and climbed out to dive in again and was covered in blood, pouring out from my wrist and forearm. Had hit a broken bottle. The strap on the Citizen watch has a big gouge out of it right about where the main veins run. If I had not been wearing the watch that day I believe I would have been in serious trouble as no doubt the veins would have been torn to shreds! So Citizen watches have a place in my heart since that day. Was very lucky!

I love how Nico is just as stoked on a Timex as he is for a Rolex. Absolute genuine enthusiast right therr

Everyone buy Nico's merch so he can buy his own building to yell and bang in peace.

Nico, I just want to say I'm very impressed with the way you handled yourself with the noise complaint. I definitely wouldn't have handled it with the grace you did, my immediate thought would have been "I'm paying for the space the same as you are, I'll do whatever I want in my studio." Especially after their condescending tone calling you a nuisance. Bravo for handling that with such class. Absolute legend man.

that subtle roast where he says "I made this video for you guys" while having the caption on the video "for POOR People" lololol

Not sure if you would see this after nearly 700 comments, but thanks for genuinely inspiring me to start a watch collection I'm 16 and started my first job at a high street jewelers about 2 and a half months ago. You got me into watches years ago, and after my first paycheck I decided to get a Seiko 5 sports SRPD55K1. On my second paycheck, I got a Casio tiffany Datejust since I saw it sitting in the window at the store and got it for £30 after my employee discount. Anyways, I'm thinking of picking up the Rotary dress watch after my next paycheck with the bonus I'm getting to round off my 3 watch collection. I wouldn't have even started this collection if it wasn't for you so I just wanted to say thanks for everything ❤

Videos like this are more needed. I am new to the watch game and not rich enough to be blowing over £500 on a watch yet. The Timex Q Chronograph was the gateway into watches for me last year. I now have that and a Casio MTP-1302PD-2A2VEF... Love your videos and one day I will work my way up to some dream watches!

Was enjoying this video, and then it quickly ends with Nico saying saying the Casioak "glitch" thats on my wrist right now is nice, made my whole day lol.

Citizen ecodrive. I have a tag , and a breitlin for special occasions. But my red arrows Citizen ecodrive!! I'm a groundworker in the building trade and I have wore it daily for nearly 5 years and it still goes very strong and keeps time so good compared to my other 2. I never have to adjust time on that like I do my others

I love bringing old Seikos back to life, using as many original parts of the watch as possible, or using Seiko parts if I can’t. Great way to learn about the watch, and invest some of yourself in it too. Good watches are possible for under £200 ( just don’t count the tool costs…..)

Thank you Nico for making the watch world a better place. I am currently wearing a Garmin, which I love for heart rate and steps. I got a lot of Casios i wear sometimes. Videos like this make it feel like you’re talking to me. I know your channel caters to the expensive and I can also say affordable. Yes I know there are some videos like that already posted, but this was a good episode thank you Nico. I will continue to grow and learn so that that way I can one day be able to buy a watch from you. Also, I like when you’re loud, just keep researching sound deadening. Have one of your crewmembers go to another room to see if they can hear you.

Agreed on Bulova's nonsense, most of their stuff is absolutely horrendous (their prices on their site too). I think they have a few gems though, like you said. Their vintage inspired ones like the automatic Hack/A11 can often be had for under $200 new (I paid $170 for the white dial version); and was my gateway to mechanical watches. When people want to move up a bit on the price scale, the Oceanographer and the Jet Star are pointing them (hopefully) back in the right direction when it comes to good watch design. The accuracy of the precisionist movement (+/- 5s/month) and the smooth sweep of the seconds hand on the Jet Star makes it a lot cooler than if it was regular quartz.

Niko is like the Jeremy Clarkson of watch KZfaq - You know you shouldn’t laugh but it is hilarious 😂

A brand for consideration: REC - they typically make watches out of old cars, planes and motorbikes which is cool for people into that stuff (like me), but they also have recently started doing some cheaper watches which are inspired by motoring history - I have 2 of them and the quality is absolutely sublime for the money, I wore one as my wedding watch! Not an in house automatic mechanism, but lovely craftsmanship regardless in my opinion 🤙🏽

Orient Bambino, Orient Ray II Raven. I’ve owned both and got the Bambino (2nd gen II) new for £99 but that was 2015. Raven I got last year for around £180 and it’s a 200m dive watch. A lot of watch for the money with in house Japanese mechanical movements. No brainer. I also have a Citizen Eco Drive which I love for its understated simplicity, mid-century aesthetic and damn good accuracy - plus no need for batteries and £130.

One of the best videos by far for me considering those are exactly the kind of watches I can afford. I hope to see you do more like this so i can make good purchases Nico.

Hello, Nico! My father’s was a watch collector, and because of him i start loving watches! After he past away about two years ago, i sold all my watches. After i start watching your channel about 1 month ago my passion for watches came back and i start once again my collection. Thank you for that! Cheers!

8:12 To be honest, I've have had a similar problem with a studio in the past. As it turned out, the office next door, shared an old ventilation duct/channel that was covered up with drywall. I know it's definitely not going to be the same... But, could be something similar.

Found my old Casio MTD-1010 (1346) in a box of "junk". Used to wear this thing every day 20ish years ago. Perfect budget watch. Needed a new battery and it still runs like a champ!

“Nico the nuisance” 😂. I have some nice pieces Rolex GMT, Ball, etc but I wear a $150 Deep Blue (Seiko movement) as my everyday watch and the thing is unstoppable. Been scuba diving with it 20 times and it hasn’t skipped a beat. Solid warranty too.

My dad got me a Seiko 5 for $75 in 2002. Now they're creeping up to 500 cdn. I gave up on expensive watches the year and decided to cultivate a taste for Casios and Timexes. I just ordered a white Casio Solar 220c and I couldn't be happier if that was a white Rolex Explorer 2.

Best part of this video is when the neighbors arrived being confrontational and Nico says, "First off, let me introduce myself." People don't know how to speak to people anymore. Even if Nico is accidentally being a nuisance, you don't approach a stranger making demands. That's the opposite of how to get what you want.

Nico I wanna say thank you for these videos. Always have a great time watching. If you’re ever in the NE area of the states it would be an honor to meet you. Keep these videos coming.

Slightly exceeding the budget here (purchased for $800 on Black Friday), but I'm genuinely intrigued by the SEIKO PROSPEX BLACK SERIES SPB255J1. I've owned it for a 2 weeks now and absolutely adore it. The quality far surpasses its price point, in my opinion. Although they specified an accuracy of -15/+25 seconds per day, from my observation over two weeks, I've noticed only around a 5-second difference.

I WISH THIS WAS A COLLAB WITH TEDDY YOU GUYS PROMISED MAN

Just bought this swatch boreal few days ago as my first automatic watch. I couldn't really decide between swatch and Seiko but then I found it for sale (second hand but with no sings of usage) for ~125$. I had some doubts if it was a good decision and if Seiko wouldn't be better but now I'm sure I've made right call! Cheers!

Love to see the GB200 get a mention - it's such an underrated G Shock and one of my personal favourites in my collection

Not sure did he mention, but Orient has bunch of cool watches for less than 200€. I'm not huge on watches or know about them, but I have Orient Ray 2 which is automatic watch and overall looks great and has functioned well and I paid like 170 for it at the time. They also have some more simple leather styles like Bambino.

Would love a video on affordable Swiss brands like Mido, certina, glycine, tissot, Hamilton ect. And a video on “POOR”micro brands like Islander and deep blue.

Aye! Here’s my list for this category: 1. Seiko SNKL23 (Seiko Hodinkee) $80 2. Seiko SNXS series $75-90 3. Tissot Heritage quartz $190 4. Swatch May Black/Clear Water Chronograph $185 5. Casio Oak GShock GA-B2100 $140 6. Casio GShock G5600 $99 7. Citizen Promaster Automatic $180-200 8. Citizen Ecodrive Yellow AW1760 $150 9. Timex Indiglo (coz its not below $50 anymore) 10. Any casio digital metal watch I would avoid Orient here… P.S. these are Jomashop Prices…

2024 Six Pack Budget Collection - Casio Royale ($20) - Timex Ironman Triathlon ($50) - GShock 5600 ($50) - Seiko SND367PC ($80) - Orient Panda ($90) - Swatch Dragon in the Wind ($90) I just picked up the Swatch Year of the Dragon in the Waves for $63.00. Funky and enticing but on the small side.

Hey Nico! Love your videos!! Just started to collect watches. Was looking at watch reviews and I suddenly found you! You are really cool and funny. Just wondering whether you can list the top 10 best cheap automatic & sapphire crystal watches.

Funny in all my watches the one I get the most eyeballs on is my Casio. Its a MTP1302D-2A2V (Tiffany Casio) and even a few folks have said "Is that a rolex" lol. But most just say "Hey nice watch" . Love the everyday sub $200 watch that I can wear and not be afraid to scratch or damage.

Yo how he handled that interaction with the annoyed neighbor shows how smooth of a business man he is. Damn..

A full video on Citizen would be appreciated! There's a lot of innovation and history there which was new to me! Curious about it!

Nico getting a noise complaint from the neighbours, hilarious 😂 Nico the Gordon Ramsey of hourology. Guaranteed not to hold back, love it😊

I'm planning on buying my first watch in the new year, as a belated congratulations to myself for making it into uni. I've been looking at the Timex Marlin Chronograph, prior to you showing it in this video (3:13), and I was pretty much convinced. But, having a "Nico somewhat seal of approval" has made me feel a lot more confident in my choice. Also, tip for the soundproofing, you said you're in a noise isolating room, however, you appear to be sitting in front of a completely blank wall. If there's no soundproofing on that wall, all the sound will be reflected straight through it, and could even be amplified in some cases. I'd recommend looking into soundproofing it with the soundproofing solutions you see in "productive home office setup tours" (I don't know the exact name (They're are just thin strips of wood, with sound absorbing foam behind them (They come in panels))), as they would still look professional. You could even try to mount some modern looking shelves and put some watch cases on them. Just a thought, hope you get better neighbors soon.

Citizen is just so underrated, my $400 titanium citizen eco drive is better than my $2000+ swiss watches.

Fking love the neighbour interaction haha Classic, stay you Nico. Legend.

Love my GBX100 GShock - superb MIP display, glass, stainless bezel (wafer thin mind) and suprisingly supple strap and bluetooth with app so keeps the time accurate including 1 hour back n forward

I love picking up older swatches from the 90's off of eBay for £10-20. Some good lookers in the Irony collection on a budget.

The Bulova Precisionist is on sale quite often under $200 and is a great watch for that price.

I agree with you about sub $200 bracelets. I have a Seiko Recraft , I love the retro 70’s look , but Seikos lower end bracelets are garbage. Stuck it on a leather racing style black strap , and it is gorgeous. It’s not for everyone, but I dig it.

Hey Nico! What do you think of making a video about great watches to get or gift for christmas in different price ranges?

as a collector of inexpensive timepieces, i would personally recommend the citizen tsoyosa, ga2100 g shock, bulova hack, and the seiko srpd55

The colour on the Timex Marlin Chronograph could be described as dark teal on the greener side. IRL it dances a bit between teal and forest green in the light! I did like the panda more anyhow though it's solid, I have mixed experiences with the cases of Timex. Loving the dials generally!

For under $200 the watch collection I would do would be Dive Watch Invicta 1953 ~$100 One of the least expensive automatic watches that isn't a chinese brand. A brand with history and a homage watch of a famous rolex. 9h35 movement and comes in different color bezel variants. All look nice. Casual all around watch Casio a700w ~$30-55 Same iconic look as the famous f91w but modernized with better lume, thinner, and stylish bracelet options. Super sleek and retro. Comes in different variants Dress and formal event watch Sea-Gull any ~$60-70 Most are out of the price range but there is usually some Sea-Gull dress watch on sale at any given time. Automatic and a recognizable brand from china.

Been watching for a long time (no pun intended), but I recently came accross a watch from my late grandpa that is a "Wakmann". I believe it's basically a Breitling (circa late 1960's), but imported and distributed by a US company. I can't seem to find much info at all online, so if anyone knows about them, I would truly appreciate it! Very sentimental piece.

I bought a Baltany Retro Panda Chronograph which I absolutely love but I'm not sure if it's classed as a 'good watch' or not. I suppose it doesn't matter as long as I like it that's the main thing, just curious that's all.

As a part time watch lover and full time peasant I love my Casio GW-M5610 as it has multi band 6 which I think is mind blowing technology for a £100 watch

Casio AE-1200 was my first watch as an adult getting into watches, then the Duro. I still rotate them in and wear them.

Nicos general opinion on Bulova is known since the tier list, but I would honestly like to hear his opinion on the Lunar Pilot. As it is "the other Moonwatch" and highly praised by most watch KZfaqrs, I would like to hear what Nico thinks about it.

That “you’re bringing it back” was personal 😂😂😂

I'm not poor, I'm just unfortunate.

I got used to battered Casio A158 with used expansion bracelet, even though I got couple of mechanical watches. It's reliable, it's cheap, it imitates two-tone, it's got a timer, beeping alarm, day-date. Yes, I am poor and I'm loving it. What I want to say, you do you.

Can you make a review of Pep Guardiola's watch collection? I am not a city fan but he definitely has an insane watch collection.

I'm happy I got Timex Q reissue for £56/INR 5900 new in Jan this year, love that watch, wear it daily❤

Three watches are all you need: 1) Dress watch: 38mm Orient bambino 2) Smart casual: 38mm Seiko 5 3) Work & leisure: Casio F91w,

I recently got a watch from Accurist which I am very pleased with. £84 on offer, quartz movement, sapphire crystal, green waffle face and gold (colour not metal) hour markers, date display

Micro brands video please. Lots of interesting designs coming from various small brands. Zelos, Baltic, Vario, Mr Jones, etc etc

Thank you for this. Now we can also get a nice watch

"price doesnt matter to women anyways because they dont pay it" BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

Orient is the most underrated watch brand. Lower tier original Seagulls qualify too. They're not cheap but affordable. Auto mov't can be a deal-breaker for some of us tho.

Should have mentioned all the mechanical watches with in house movements. Seagull, Vostok, Sea Guess, etc

The fact that orient didn’t get a mention at all is outrageous. The kamasu is the best diver for under $200 and the bambino is insane for its price. Great dress watch that looks elegant

14:44 I bought this one on black friday, and the one thing ill say about it is depending on the angle the colours will either be Purple or green. Its really cool and my favorite watch ever

Love the video and i honestly hate all of the Bulova watches but i saw the Jet Star in red the other day shopping and it was a head turner. Id love to see you review it sometime.

Poor people don't buy Casio! They buy Rolex

You should review the Bulova lunar pilot. I know you dont like bulova, but it is a very nice looking watch with rich history

Citizen, Orient, Seiko. Absolute utility, and value for money. Yall check specificaly the Orient Kamasu... Lovely piece with a saphire crystal!

I have Timex expedition which is 6 years old, Timex Q reissue one year old, HMT Chinar hand winding (Japanese movement) atleast 20 years old and HMT Sangam which is new one to my collection. They may not be expensive watches but every watch has its own purpose and suits for every outfit i wear.

Poor is a state of mind, we're broke😂

Speaking of “poor” I’d love a in-depth look at these Addiesdive Submariner look a likes with Seiko NH35A movements. They look surprisingly well made for 120bucks

Citizen is a very underrated affordable brand

I have that ROTARY. It's AWESOME! Plus, Rotary's HQ and the design office is still in London and in the hands of the previous owners!

Well shit. I've had that Timex Chronograph on my wishlist for a while, hoping it'd go on sale. Now I'm just hoping it'll stay in stock lol

As a peasant, im stoked for this

My poor man's watch collection: Rotary Skeleton Automatic (Gold case, brown leather strap) £250 Seiko 5 Sports Automatic (Stainless case & bracelet) £195 CASIO Vintage W-218H (Black rubber case & strap) £25 Fossil Decker Chronograph (Stainless case & bracelet) £90. My first watch as an adult, which my gf (now wife) bought for me when were about 16 years old (now 32).

Casioak, PRX/D1 Milano, a diver, a chronograph, and a tank and day date homage. My dream Brokie collection. Needs something with a moon phase too I think

congrats on the kid!

There is no reason that person who came into your office should have made it that far into your office with out being stopped, like they should have not been able to get past the front desk (If that was real)

For me Timex TW2V41800 is great value for money. 43mm , stainless steel bracelet and sapphire crystal glass easy to find for less than £200 !

Nico Thank you for doing this video. I only dream of owning a rolex in the meantime its good to know there are some good options out there.

I'd just like Nico to produce his own range of "poor people" watches😂

In under 2 minutes you’ve managed to take a jab at both poor people and women, rather impressive I must say 😂 Edit: 7 minutes in and we can add obese people and Bulova Icon owners to the list 🤣

Precisionist from Bulova is actually nice af

I actually have that rose gold bulova marine star. I absolutely love it has a huge amount of sentimental value to me. My second watch i bought was the prx

Buddy, please don't change. Always be like this….😇

My son just got his first watch at 14, a Tissot Seastar. Bit over the budget of £200 but it’s a pretty nice watch for that money. Keeps him away from my collection as well😂

Love this video. Done and Delivered in a way that only Nico can! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Much love from Singapore! 😃

Glad Casio made it in last but not least! Respect. No watch collection is complete without a Casio.

I'm not poor... I'm just financially challenged. And slightly mentally challenged, but I don't think they're related. _THINK_ is keyword

Good one Niko, however Orient and Vostok should've been included IMO

Love it mate!! Don't worry about them neighbours of yours. It's the only kind of banging they get in their lives anyway by the sounds of it. Actually not sure if anyone else there wants to see it but it would be cool (for the poor men like myself) to see you do a review on the limited edition Save the Ocean lines from the Seiko Prospex models. Selfish ask cause I have a Save the Ocean Samurai and would love to know your thoughts about it. All the best to you and the fam from Calgary!

I’m well off . My lil Casio W-756 tells me what time it is and what day it is and what the date is , so’s I don’t get my appointment with my solicitor messed up and miss out on signing paperwork to buy my next house . Good advice Nico , you el gooru 👍

I love Nico’s videos, but he doesn’t really know watches, he knows expensive watches. This video kind of proved that. On a different note, can you imagine some important meeting going on next-door and Nico just screaming at the top of his lungs octopussy? 😂😂. Also, yes, swatches are still made in Switzerland.
