Stay away from Daniel Wellington, and MVNT. Overpriced junk! Go with Seiko, Citizen, or Orient. Go Swiss if you can afford it.
MrBreeze seiko, orient, and citizen are just as much junk as mvmt and dw
@@Ferien7 lol you are clueless
@@Ferien7 you know nothing of horology. It is a solid idea you stay away from topics you dont know about.
@@Ferien7 Wow. You are completely ignorant.
Let's add casio to that list
he sound like Samuel L Jackson without the cursing
ian bart LOL cant unhear it either
Im subbing
Swearing makes you look immature and uneducated but he doesn’t swear it makes him look educated
Of course because -
@Vincent Price Roy Jones Jr. After the Tyson match 😁
Yes, lol
2:34 "wear your wrist on your non dominant hand" 😂
@j Smith you missed the joke. He said " wear your wrist "
Mines on my dominant hand and has been for the last 50 years.
I caught that too...I was like "Huh?" 😂😂
That shirt + pocket square match soothes my soul.
Thanks Cool!
Agreed. That jacket shirt and pocket square is on point! 😎
I havent stopped watching this guy for 2 hours
What a great use of time !
@@TheStyleOG I learned a lot so it was definitely worth it
So much game right
The Style O.G. Same, I leaned a lot about men topics that r very useful, but I’m only 17, but this is what can make me become a mature young man so thank u very much
Yeah, this channel has that effect, LOL
Great watch style suggestions, Jeff. I own 16 watches, from Rolex to Seiko. I collected these watches over the years. However, if someone asks me what is the best first watch, I suggest a diver. It is great in sports and casual dress. In a pinch, you can wear it with a suit. Seiko's skx007 is typically about $200 and is a great first watch. Even members of the watch community that own high-end pieces, still respect the 007. There you have it. My suggestion for the guy that can only afford one watch. Keep the great content coming.
Savvy Life Strategies.
I think other than a diver a good GADA (Go Anywhere Do Anything) would be better.
What kind of watch? Its all subjective. I think a Explorer 214270 fits the bill or a Aqua Terra. Or if you want a quality piece without breaking the bank a Tag Heuer Carrera Day Date.
But those are expensive. A Nice Hamilton, Seiko, or Oris can be had for the price for one of the Explorer or Aqua Terra.
I personally switched over to a small colection of higher end pieces. Rolex, Omega, IWC, and just picked up a Heuer Auctiva with the Heuer 02 in house movement. ( Fantastic Piece).
I try to keep all my purchases in the $2500 to $5000 range. These watches retain their value well, and on the Grey market or pre-owned you get the biggest bang for your buck.
@@chelious1973 Sounds like you have a great watch collection and acquisition strategy. I personally don't sell or trade up. If I tire of a watch, I give it to my grandson.
Best all purpose watch ever made is the Rolex Explorer. Hands down.
D William. Agree!
Savvy Life Strategies. TY. I really don’t trade up or down anymore. I really didn’t wear but a few pieces, just kept the ones i wore the most. Traded all the others i didn’t wear for a 2017 explorer and the Auctiva. I just have four pieces now, with room for just two more in my six slot watch box. That way my wife doesn’t give me grief and keeping each piece at or below $5000 is easier on the wallet. Keeping a higher end smaller collection at the $5000 or below price point allows you to trade in a piece for a newer model if inclined. As each piece was bought grey market or pre-owned financially i am losing practically nothing or very little. Only way i am trading anything ever again is if i like the newer models better than the one i currently own of the same model. Maybe when i have grandchildren i will probably do the same. 👍
"Your wearing a clock on your wrist!" 🤣😂🤭
Haha!
The tiny size of a nickel watch is dead, please let that go. 43 - 47 mm for taller bigger men. The watch can still be high quality and stylish just not a mini watch. I think that's as bad as these tight ass pants and jeans
@@kevinjohnson6177 39...43 works for me
kevin johnson 55mm+ for me. my watches weigh over a lbs. those tiny little things look like toys on me. most watches i can't even put on in a watchstore. my hand doesn't fit through them.
@@TheStyleOG Yeah! Hahahahahah!
Wow OG another GREAT video! I’ve been a fan of your videos for a long time now, learned so much from them and for that I thank you. You’ve also inspired me to start my own CZcams channel covering men’s style and fashion. I hope to gain the following you have and inspire someone as you have done for me.
Good video OG.
I started wearing a watch a few years ago after watching a video my AlphaM. He enumerated items that all mean should wear.
To keep it all the way real I usually buy a very inexpensive watch from Walmart- I like a simple clean time piece that is very clear and easy to see the time. Stainless steel coated or something with a wrist band that coordinates with my outfit. I really don't know much about wrist watches in order to buy an expensive one.
Back in the day (mid 90$) we all wore Fossil watches so when I decided to rock a watch I went on OfferUp and found a black Fossil watch. It was my first wrist watch.
#10 is probably the best watch advice I have heard, very appropriate for this day, age, and younger generation. Even if you're the most stylish, sharp-dressed man in the room, taking your phone out everytime will just negate every piece of advice on how you will improve the way you carry yourself.
I knew most of them but fun to have you go over them. Your pet peeve is right on I'm 72 have a nice collection. Love picking out the right piece when on leave the house. The thought of not wearing a watch would be like leaving without my pants.
appreciate the input Robert!
I do have a wrist on my non-dominant hand...and dominant hand, lol. Great vid!
Thanks Windmill!
Yeah I noticed that mistake too. Lol. I got what he was trying to say, though. Good vid!!
I had to rewind to hear that again - great recommendation ... :D
im left handed so my watch is on my right hand
Caught it, lol.
Thanks for the fresh video OG! Nice tips in there!
No problem !
Dropping in to say two things 1)I enjoy your videos and hope you keep doing your thing. I've noticed that men have been falling down that "too casual/sloppy road" and this is much needed and appreciated. 2) this isn't a mistake, but more of an alternate to the "one watch and more than one" necessity. I own a silver Fossil Explorist and have purchased multiple quick release watch bands. Also, I have downloaded numerous watch faces for different occasions and times of day. Leather bands and a more simpler face for more formal or metal/nylon/silicone bands with a sporty face for other times. Like I said, keep doing your thing, God bless and hope to see more content.
Peace and Blessings!
Great Video with a lot of practical suggestions. Well Done !
Thanks Ray!
Simple yet effective tips every man should know, always appreciate the knowledge OG ✊🏽
Salute Niko!
That lighter face in the day time, darker face in the night time was a gem for me O.G. #Salute
Salute Ryan!
Jeff, I try to watch your videos every day. You have the most levelheaded and common sense suggestions in each episode. Thanks for all your insight and hard work.
You got it Steve!
Excellent video! Your delivery is smooth and all good points.
Thanks Shawn !
Good video
I've been wearing gentleman style watches since middle school. I've always one watch fits all, now I realize I need to step up my watch game. I'll definitely invest in a sport watch and a leather strap watch.
Thanks Will!
Another great one G! I've made several of the same mistakes over the years. I've always firmly believed though, a true gentleman always wears a watch. Correction..a timepiece! Salute!!
Salute Andrew!
Great video.
I agree with all your suggestions.
Thanks Wayne!
i've done some playing around with a bunch of outfits and watch combos, everything from dressed up to dressed down. if you don't have the budget for 5+ watches for every occasion, you can go with just a dress watch and a dive watch. they'll definitely cover the most ground for you, especially if you get a bunch of straps (metal, leather, nato, silicone, etc) to customize the look up and down as needed. a dive watch can go from a super casual streetwear look with the right strap all the way up to certain business casual looks, while the dress watch can go from formal all the way down to a general casual look, again with the right band.
side note, if you plan on doing weight in the gym, get a g-shock or something similar, or don't wear a watch to the gym at all. i've had the shock from the weights crack more than a couple crystals before i figured that out
appreciate the input Lewis!
Once again, you've made another good video! I won't mention the things that were already said. I run into the Galaxy Gear / Appke watch delema. The metal bands don't always jive with watch housing. The color and bands should be a no brainer, but it must be said! Keep up the good work and mistakes happen, those that just focus on the one or two made should look at the several hundred other words that were said correctly! As a teach I need to point that out on the regular!
Always appreciate the input Bill!
Great points and tips I can follow now. I get so much beside outfit style tips. I learn confident, swag communicating tips as well. Appreciate you channel.
Salute Tim !
I recently discovered your videos. Great stuff! Subscribed.
welcome to the channel!
The most interesting part of your video here, are the timepieces!
I have a watch for most occasions. And my wife understands me!
Cannot be late for a date, now!
🙏🏽
Some great watch tips here. I especially agree on the oversized watch mistake.
Keep up the good work 👍🏻
Thanks Dean!
Great video and content, thank you.
Thanks Ravi !
I don't agree with a lot of what you said, but I appreciate the video. I'm going to look for more!
Right ! On all counts ! Thank you
No problem John!
Saaaaluuute my G! Another home run with this one!!
Salute Trojan!
About a year ago I didn’t wear a watch and instead relying on my smart phone. I have just two watch now a low cost black and brown leather band watch option. Metal watches aren’t good for my skin as they react. Still trying to get better at routinely remembering to wear a watch when dressing up. But it was watching these vids that reminded me of the need of wearing a good watch. Need to find more good watch store outlets to find more watch options to consider though too.
I believe that a watch is a necessary tool for everyday life. No matter what the occasion, one should have a watch to suit it. I agree with you on all points, especially when it comes to proportion, and which wrist to wear it. Some people are of the belief that it should be worn on the left hand only, when in fact it should be worn on the non dominant hand. Very nice taste in watch, you have a new subscriber in me. Salute!
Great content by the way keep up the great work!!!
A real man always wears a watch . 100,%.
Yes Sir!
You're spot on
A real man does what he wants.
David Coleman I agree
A real man doesn’t need other men’s approval on fashion or life.
Great info boss! Looking sharp!
Thanks!
Just found your channel recently and am I 20 year old guy who really likes the classy stuff. So I'm glad you put out this kind of content, it's good advice for mature men regardless of our age.
Salute Peter !
Great vid i always keep a watch and what your take on the smart watches paired with an outfit
Helpful hint for those on a budget buy extra watch bands so they can match there outfits
indeed KC
KC Hansen I learned this as well 👍🏾
THIS!
Very good thanks
I'm a lefty! Watches have been made for right-handed people (knobs are accessible with their right hand). To put a watch on my non-dominant hand would be awkward. However, I have been looking into obtaining left-handed watches. Thanks for all your tips Jeff! You're helping me rethink a whole lot of things now that I'm a middle-aged cat. Lol!
Salute!
JLC Reverso, you can flip em around. The Duo Line has even the prettier face with left facing crown
Salute O.G keep on grinding can’t wait to see you hit 100k and get that silver plaque. 👍🏾
We are almost there !
Great video Jeff. I own six watches, one for every day, and the other ones for weekend wear and for when I dress up. Please do a video on pocket watches and rings.
Some really solid content. If you're going to be in to watches, especially self-winds, or mech automatics, you should know something about you're wearing so: 1. You can talk intelligently when asked, 2. Can purchase intelligently. You don't want to end up with a Stuhrling that looks good, but will break in 2 months. What are the differences in movements - flyback chrono vs regular chrono, the purpose of a tourbillon, minute repeaters, and other complications. To not know how to take care of a self-wind, or mech auto, is a recipe for financial disaster. If you're in the mid-Atlantic area and are interested in watches - a trip to National Watch and Clock Museum in PA is time well spent.
Hi Jeff, just caught your watch video. Mostly, I've looked at the clothing videos, so thought I would look at how you are dealing with accessories.....and bam, what I found, Jeff, you, as always, right across it. Your comment about wearing your watch on your non-dominant hand chimed with me. Yep, the great content, continues.
appreciate you Clive!
Just subscribed all the way from here in New Zealand keep up the great work
welcome to the channel Rasta!
A very honest and nice advice. I appreciate your time.
Thanks Sean!
Right on Time ⌚
Thanks Rusty!
@@TheStyleOG appreciate the fact you let us know you have broken a rule or two before, real Style OG salute. 👌🏽

Lots of useful info. Thx!
No problem RJ!
Missed you at Menfluential Jeff. Hope all is well. Good list here. I've made most of these on my watch wearing journey. One to add is wearing watches based on the opinions of others. If you love a particular watch style and feel good wearing it, no one can tell you otherwise.
Thanks my friend!
Thank you very educational
no problem!
First watch I wore was a timex,I still have it,I love wearing watches, but you are right about size and fit,love the big watches,but if they are to big for your wrist they look awful
Have learned a lot from you on what watches to wear and how to match with my outfits.
Salute Ted!
Thanks for sharing.I,guess it's time to buy more watches..
Jeff. I've got a lot of respect from you. I feel that your advice is sound proof and you are very approachable. I am a dark skin Hispanic man in my early 30s and I dress conservatively. Don't have time for nonsense. I appreciate what you do.
Thanks a lot Fran!
Once again great video!
Thanks Steve !
Thank you for the tips my G. My brother put me on to your channel and I'm feeling it. Love the presentation. I break a few of the rules because I like it. I wear bigger bezel watches because I feel the small ones are too dainty and make my hands look huge. So anywhere from 45 mm to 48/49mm is where I like my watches. And I love to rock my dive watches, especially the ones with a metal band, with suits. Big Bond fan. I figure I follow the rules with the rest of my clothing, I will personalize my look with my watches and hosiery. But one must know the rules in order to know which one to bend or break. Thanks again.
No problem Rafael !
Respect bruh. You know you providing a real service right...lol I'm about to check out some more of your work
Respect Rob !
makes sense; agree; cheers...
Watching again as a refresher.
Thank you!
You're welcome!
Ironically I just bought a mont Blanc watch about 10 days ago. Great vid bro as ALWAYS! ✌🏿
Thanks Jaricho!
Mont blanc are really underrated and I like what they've been doing recently.
I finally purchased a watch again after years of not wearing one when I was building homes.
I was so tired of having to locate my phone to check the time when I needed to be so place, especially when I don't always have my phone on me and I am not a person who is controlled by that phone, always needing to be doing something with it.
I currently have two watches and working on getting different colored bands.
Salute O.G! Still too many guys not wearing watches & your puttin them bak on track 👍🏼
Salute Riz!
what up homeboy this is groove coming from Montana x Philly boy have to show these folks I am how is done and I appreciate all the information is going on
Great list style og!!! Time to step my band game up, i done made the leather strap in the summer mistake too many times
Thanks Sunny!
The Style O.G. OG, best camel coats in the game in your opinion? I know winter is almost over, but timeless right?
Another great video. I have learned a lot from watching your videos. I haven't worn a watch in probably 19 Years. I am looking to buy my first watch. Should the first watch I buy be a casual watch or a dress watch?
Buy one that goes with how you dress most often. If you dress casually most of the time, buy a causal watch first..
If you're only going to have ONE watch at the moment and you don't wear a suit daily, I recommend something a little more casual. Something relatively simple like a field or pilot-style watch with two bands, a more casual (like a nato or zulu strap) and a more dressy leather band.
Great advice Jeff, I’m trying to school my sons on what used to be pretty basic dressing staples...
I’m going to send them this video,
hopefully it helps. LOL 🤷🏾♂️
Salute Nathan !
I got like two watches that r the same. One is gold with a black face and very thick, and the other is a silver and gold with a white face that’s is also the exact same thickness and all. Would they be the best to go with a nice tailored suit? Or they do much of a diver theme?
Spot on my friend. I'm a watch guy and I couldn't have said it any better.
Thanks Ray !
Thanks for the advices homie
You got it Alex!
Keep kicking knowledge... Another stone cold video full of good stuff. Thanks Boss!
Thanks, will do!
I am educating myself at the University of Style OG!!
Watch what your doing as we are all watching you my brother 😊
Hello Style O.G hope you're doing well. I have a question. I'm 40 and I still rock Vans when I'm wearing my dark jeans. I feel good and I think they look good. What is your take on wearing Vans as an older dude like myself?
Thanks OG!
no problem!
Thank you, sir! Your video is like a Sotheby's Concise Encyclopedia on the subject.
Thanks Omar !
I have a g-shock gst b100 for my everyday watch. I think it fits just perfectly but I would like a second opinion. I have a 6.7 inch wrist. A pretty small wrist but the G-shock does, in my opinion, fit just right.
Good advice 👍
For less common dressier occasions, I have a $100 Seiko 5 with 4 or 5 quick change leather straps. No tools needed, fits under the tightest of cuffs, and quickly matches your shoes and belts. Super sharp on a budget.
Good basic all around rules here. To play devil's advocate, there are some watches that are versatile enough for every situation (boardroom to beach as the douchier amongst us would refer to them), for instance if you own an explorer 1, first gen AquaTerra, or mark 18 on a bracelet. Again it is a rarity, but there are a precious few that are that versatile. Great video!
Good info. I shared with my Boo. I got him to start wearing watches. Now I need to find the equivalent video for ladies.
Thanks Nikki!
on point, as always... wearing a watch signifies responsibility, awareness, as well as style
Thanks Chuck!
O.G... You are my guy on fashion but when it comes to my watches I break all the rules. I wear what I like, when it suites me. That is the one place in my style I love and live by my own rules. Salute!
Salute my guy!
I agree with most of what you say but I'm a fan of Invicta. I have smaller watches but also rock the over size too. I love your channel! Peace!
Peace Kaos!
Love the takes! My go to watch is Citizens Solar Power. My go to band is stainless steel.
Jeff I love how you encourage men to put on a watch.....Great advice keep up the great work
Thanks Kenneth!
I wear my Rolex Sub Homage with a suit when I do wear one and I get nothing but compliments with it. I think smaller dive watches look great with suits as long as it isn't too bulky. The Submariner, I think, is the perfect size with a suit in most cases.
Morning jeff..excellent advice.....
Thanks Kenneth !
Great video and I enjoyed it and have a blessed day
You as well Michael!
Thank you very much
Thank you for making a video like this and not trying to get people to buy mvmt or original grain or other bs type watches
Rule of thumb for watch size is if the lugs either hang over the the wrist or curve over the wrist on both sides, it’s too large.
Cheers🍻
RP
Yep jeff. Always on spot
Thanks Burhan!
Good tips!
Thanks Jon!
I really appreciated the belt/strap/shoes being same colour advice.
Great advice OG! 🙌 And this is coming from a watch snob 😉
Haha! Hi praise indeed
Jeff u are one smart fresh guy...... i enjoy watching you informative videos
Appreciate it !
The Rolex Submariner works in any situation, day or night. I particularly like the pre-ceramic 16610
@andy lol no one buys a Rolex to keep time. I'm sure your corolla is more reliable than a Lambo too.
Facts very helpful
Thanks Quan!
"You're not wearing a watch, you're wearing a clock." Hahaha. I always wore my watch on my dominant side but swinging a hammer or a machete has to be bad for them.
