The quality of watch content has fallen dramatically, so much negativity now.

I got mine a month ago.. glad I could just walk in, see it and buy one. Really wanted to see the white as well. But the black is more my style. Loved the dedication to sit and wait for it that alone I liked and subscribed 😁 keep up the good work 🤘🏾

I need longer videos man 🤣 4 minutes isn’t enough 😫😫

Hopefully they use abundant movements, I may end up having to buy a ring to get parts lol!

I have had a different experience it seems. The watch community has been nothing but welcoming to me. More of a sub genre as I’m repairing watches instead of reviewing. As any niche grows you’ll have insecure and immature people joining it. To some, watches aren’t a flex they are a passion.

It is a tough crowd.

0:25 Ever heard of Hi-Fi?

It’s very well produced content, nice!

Considering the most popular watch tuber makes hateful videos about Hublot (going so far as to physically destroy a perfectly good one), I 100% agrees with your assessment of the insecurity of this niche. There is no balance to many of these people. I really appreciate your perspective. Subscribed and best of luck to you.

One word of warning. That Pierre Paulin Jump Hour watch you’ve got, I’ve got the exact same one. Don’t turn the time backwards. I know you shouldn’t do it but I wanted to see what happened, it broke the hour wheel. 🤦‍♂️

Man I feel for you, the watch community is full of toxic hypocrite people.

bros is about to ragequit collecting watches soon 😡

Why would you take the Internet seriously? Would you take a stranger seriously on the street? Your language that you use to describe things is extremely feminine. Describing how everything's are unfair is something a woman would say or a child. You will not survive in the real world if you're this deeply naive about people and things. Also do not let your environment have such a effect on your emotional well-being.

Agree that Seiko copies designs

When making content I think you should always ask yourself "what is this contributing to my channel" and unfortunately crying and whining just makes you look sad. EVERY youtuber gets these kinds of comments but the good ones have learned there is no value in acknowledging them nor calling them out publicly. There is only a downside. Good luck to you.

It’s partly racism, the watch community has a lot of deep racism - go on any luxury watch forum. That attitude trickles down. But then it’s just the internet - people are vile, teenagers etc mainly but grown adults too. Also people tend to stop looking at “content creators” as real people. And I often see that out of pocket comment as the straw that broke the camels back. Person A may hate the moonswatch, but it’s popular and the algorithm keeps showing them that watch, and finally they just snap and have to say something, and it just happened to be on your video. Sad, but social media is a poison and overall horrible thing

There was one time when I commented on a $1,000 Christopher Ward commercial that 'this was my grail'. And then I get a reply saying that 'CW is NOT a grail watch!' Like seriously? That comment frustrated me so much, because spending that kind of money on a non-essential item felt impossible at the time. What I've learned is that even if you have a $100k watch, it'll be a 'cheaper alternative' to the $300k watch and so on. So, ignore them. But honestly, I have met more good people in the watch space than negative people. A lot of folk throw random negative comments and then move on with their day. So why should we get so impacted by them. Being in the watch world is a journey and opinions change all the time. Today you might love Seiko more than Tissot and tomorrow it could be the other way around. And literally no one's gonna give a shit. It's all about how you feel about the brand. Like you said, it is such a personal and subjective hobby. Why take it so seriously?? And I think its different from things like cameras etc. because the loyalty and emotional connections that people feel with watch brands can become blinding, whereas most cameras are just an extension of your creativity. And the racist stuff, we're seeing racism on full blast everywhere. Open racism. Any financial or political issues happen to a country, the blame automatically goes to 'people that don't look like us'. It's been happening for centuries and it still hasn't changed today. Sorry you had to go through that. Those people are just miserable and I pray to God that they become better human beings. Hope you find good people around you man. Keep at it! 🙌

The world is a cruel place. No doubt about that. Still, for a youtuber who makes content using one's personal opinion, you should have a better understanding of personal opinion than others. You can say whatever you want but so can others. It is a right. Lets celebrate it. I recall an old film in which one of the main cast was an African descent. In it, he described how he was frequently subjected to racial attacks but had learned to deal with it from knowing he had a bigger D.

I don't know you or your channel and this is your first video I've watched. Don't bother with the hateful comments. Keep creating and building your channel. People are pathetic and will always try to bring you down. Only spend your time on those who have been there for you. All the best.

Brother, this is youtube.... its a lions den. Gotta get thicker skin and not let it get to you. There are tens of thousands of 14 year olds that just say things to get under your skin. Stop letting them.

As someone with opinions on watches, it is nearly impossible for content creators not to attract the nasty, snobbish, unsolicited responses of some viewers. I have received a lot of hateful comments myself on my own channel from strangers who couldn't pass up an opportunity to be condescending. My point here is that it just comes with the territory. I'm sorry for all of the hate you have received from these keyboard warriors. They are indeed jealous, insecure, pathetic individuals who can't share in the joy of others. Keep hustling, ignore the haters, and stay blessed.

Haven't seen your channel before, but I watched this video all the way through. I didn't realize how negative the comments on a watch video could be. Keep pushing on, man. Like you said, "affordable" is a very subjective term. And some of my favorite watches are my least expensive ones. Also, I'm getting so bored of all the big watch channels talking about the same 4 or 5 luxury brands every single video. I know I can't be alone in this. Its always nice to see something different.

Yooo, just copped the Black Blancpain Swatch. Thoughts?

Recently trying to get into watches. Love your account. also from the uk. Subscribed :)

This is extremely common behavior online, you shouldn't expect comradery from strangers. The comments you read were actually pretty funny, but if you can't take it, stay away from comments in general.

Nice video don't let the hate get to you. So many people give the moonswatch crap.... it is what got me back into watches I had been using cellphone for a very long time. Now I am branching out to different watches. But I will forever be grateful I bought that swatch or I would have not gotten back into watches.

Life is tough get an helmet. Trolls will be everywhere. People will always find something to say. My best advice is ignore it and keep going. All the best for your future videos !

I’ve been researching watches the past few days as I’d like to buy a nice automatic - the watch KZfaq community is just full to the brim of sleek looking videos that are just nonsense, it’s very frustrating!

I thought this video had hundreds of thousands of views, but you're really underrated. I'm sorry people are treating you badly. Keep going and keep making these awesome videos. All the best!

Keep pushing man, ignore the ignorance ♥♥♥

There are 2 types of watch enthusiasts: type 1 is the buy what you like, watches are not a necessity and it’s a journey since tastes/income/styles all change. Type 2 is the ones who think they know everything about watches and their opinions are the only valid ones. If you don’t know what they do or like what they do, you’re wrong. Type 1 is the majority but type 2 is the more vocal. I’m sorry you’ve had to deal with that

Definitely agree with you that the watch community is toxic. Try to not let it get to you, you have to have thick skin and be able to brush off the hate not taking it personal to be a content creator and not go crazy. These people being raciest would never say it in person. People hating on the watches either can’t afford them or can’t accept a difference in opinion and aren’t true watch enthusiasts. They’re only “hard” on the internet hiding behind a keyboard. Similar to what the other commenter speaking on unhappy people said my mom taught me that hurt people try to hurt people. No one happy with themselves goes out of their way to hate and be nasty.

Feels like the Samsung community to be honest. The most hateful and even racist out there. I often get insulted, usually because they think I'm American (like that matters). Unhappy people be unhappy. Don't let it get to you Kym.

Ops on the mechanical Citizen Forza titanium?

Great review. I've got the Accurist Origin in gold with black waffle dial. Very happy with it big, chunky and looks great. Good build quality and you get a nice presentation box and case thrown in so all good for me so great if your on a budget and the PRX might be too much of an indulgence. Would agree it's a rip off of the PRX, but it's a great rip off!!

Awesome detail & love the comparison. Thank you! Also the Tag tease sounds great

First of all, thank you for this great video and to show us your cool collection. I also appreciate that you don't care about others negative talking. It's your watches, your decission, your collection, your life. And thank you for letting us be part of it. I rather enjoy someones passionate stories about his watches, than getting showed a list if standard stuff in the hope that stranger people like. The Accutron you have shown might be an ho.age to the Tag Heuer Link. But one critic : Please fpcus more on the watch. The watches were too small to see. I had to zoom in but looked very poor then. That would be great.

So sick! I'm thinking of getting either a Seiko Cocktail time for 400, but this video made me consider the Otsu plus a cheap dress watch for the same price. What do you think?

Nice👌🏻 and unique

Lovely collection & interesting to hear why and how each one came to be. I’d love to hear more about 9. And the website you mentioned. In the future if possible more closeup shots of the faces of each watch?

Just got mine today, very cool watch

“Please subscribe if you like affordable & unique watches…. “ Oh I resold and scalped £500 over retail. 😂 👏

Big ups to lining up for that long. Couldn't be me. Just gonna wait until they re-stock. Congrats on the first video and keep them going!

wow, cool i like it

Sheeps

Great video. Love the honesty and the sharing your experience. Looking forward to more of your videos. 👏👏

Congrats! Cheers from Dallas.

Congrats!

To each their own, but I never understood waiting in line over 3-4 hours for a watch selling $1-200 over retail. It comes out worse than working minimum wage with no guarantee you’ll even get what you’re waiting for.

Here from TikTok. Great vid bro
