Why spend 58k, when I can get the same thing from Vunqera for $1100 with box and papers... doesnt make sense to me. I got a watch for every day of the week from them, and still its half the price of the bullshi* you give "value" to. I got my first vunqera Rolex hyperclone, not even people that have the real thing noticed the differennce

Traditional watches are for boomers. Apple Watch/Smartwatch is the way to go in 2026 onwards

This is a very good channel

Automatic Watches ARE Mechanical!

Very useful, thank you

What a Gem of a Video. Thankyou So Much. You could also upload the same video again and name it The ONLY Watch BUYING GUIDE you'll ever want to see. Be authentic like this and Much Love .

how much was this particular amzswis replica?

14:46 what’s the name of that seiko??

looking for a watch to keep myself off phone at times. I thought it would be better to buy a watch that's $100 or more, so i did excluded MANY cheaper yet durable watches. Though, i think it would be best to just buy an off brand watch that cost around $3-$10 just to get comfortable with having a watch. Thanks for the video, that made me realize what kind of watch i'd look for in the future

Educational, no nonsense video. Respect

The lumed bezel is a cool feature. Haven't seen that on any amzswis models yet.

당신의 모든 순간을 위한 드레스

My friend told me to stick to boutiques, but after seeing my Rolex from amzswiss , he stopped arguing.

I have collected several very nice watches in my collection. However I wear a G-Shock every day and pretty much everywhere I go. There you have it.

I love this video!!! I love your channel!!! I would love to subscribe, oh wait I already have 😅🎉.

Shame you have to be cautious and diplomatic in your videos, for legal reasons, etc. Good placement of the meme footage, though, during certain bits of dialogue.

I'll say it, then. Steer clear of fashion, designers and sports brands who do crappy, cheaply made, watches as a side line, with huge mark ups for them (Armani, Michael Kors, Nixon, Umbro, Adidas, etc). A lot of them are made by Fossil.

Steer clear of Fossil and Invicta. Materials and Quality Control are shit. I had an Ellesse, years ago, probably made by Fossil and the dial went loose and started turning. The case was plated brass which soon wore down to the copper underplating below the thin layer of chrome.

Buy Japanese, Swiss or German made.

On a budget, buy Casio. They are respected. G-Shocks are amazing. So are Seiko, Citizen and Orient quartz watches, solar, mechanical and automatic.

Buy the best that your budget can buy. Stretch it to the max. You will be rewarded with performance, peace of mind, longevity, beauty, functionality and 'feel good factor'.

Something that puts a spring in your step.

I'd spend up to £800 or a grand on a good Seiko / Citizen. Up to 3 grand, or maybe even 5 on one of the big Swiss makes.

I have two £1k Swiss ones. A Ball Fireman Enterprise and a Longines Hydroconquest. Both have modified Swiss ETA movements. They're as close to perfection as my eyes can tell. I've worked for them and I feel a million dollars when I wear them.

I also have Chinese homage watches with Seiko movements, Japanese solar and radio controlled quartzies and automatics and several G-Shocks.

The current count is 22. Actually, if I could consolidate that collection into 4, 5 or 6 better, more expensive, watches, I would.

Seiko dive watches and Casio radio controlled solar modules rule! Especially if they are in a G-Shock or a steel or titanium case from the Edifice and Oceanus product lines, too.

Just get the ideas that Michael Kors, or anything in the shopping mall Watches-R-US stores, that they put in your head with marketing and advertising, out of your head, and you will probably be fine.

Same goes for these 'we cut out the middle man' scammers like DW and MVMT, as well!

Honestly this dude explains it wayy better than most of the videos that I've seen so far tbh 👀

So a Hamilton: Titanium, Automatic, Diver watch up to 1000m - you know the one from Tenet, for 2k is basically paying for the brand in 2025? :) I am just curious what your take is on the topic.

God is NOT using "Pastor" Chris....its simple to see because Chris teaches the FALSE Doctrines of Hyper-Grace and the word of faith(Prosperity gospel movement)....not to mention the false healings and prophecies.

1. Do I like the way it looks?
2. Will it work? Especially. will it keep time accurately?
3. Will it be comfortable?
4. Will it last a reasonably long time?
5. Brand, otherwise is meaningless.

Thank you, this video was incredibly informative. I am looking for a new watch for myself under 300€, yet the ideal design would be skeleton. This by design makes it difficult to find good looking pieces that are legit and within the budget too.

I am looking to buy an automatic wristwatch with a metal band. But I am totally unfamiliar with what brands have what quality. What brands offer the type of watch I want, while being worth the money for quality? What I mean by this is I do not want to pay money for the brand name, I want my money to actually go to watch quality. I would be willing to spend up to a few thousand, maybe 3-4K at most.

Stay away from handwound mechanical movements and nato straps

I have the older Lineage with two ladies windows.

Easily one of my favorite watches.

I'll be saving for this one.

I haven't worn a watch in years, and I needed one during work. Got an A168 due to you and other Youtuber's recommendations. Looks and works well, and got me through work seeing the work hours tick down until it's time to go home.

What about casio analog standard waTches? Are they good?

Im looking for a new watch for a special occasion im getting a divorce she run off with a Seiko dealer he was giving her hardlex.

Most useful and informative introductory video on watches I've watched so far!

excellent treatise on modern watches.

I bought a bunch of citizen watches because my dad bought a bunch of citizen watches. Not the best but I couldn't be happier.

Please suggest a nice & affordable Casio, which has built in ambient temperature sensor, compass functionality

should we buy skagen bro ?

Regarding case and face materials? Do you have insight on "hardened treated" stainless steel? Also, in re faces, where does Gorilla glass" land? Thx.
