ALSO: Can anyone tell which shots I used my new camera with? Some were with our old rubbish setup, we've now upgraded finally!
Ben I can't find the CosmaTick Variation you keep plugging, link please?
@@TheInselaffen Hi, not aware of any CosmaTick, I think it's my accent - I probably said 'cosmetic variant'
@Ben's Watch Club Ben I think you might have used the diamond selector tool wrongly on the casio MTS-110L. Sapphire should go up to Red on the scale. Could you retest with the correct calibration?
@@BensWatchClub yuyyyyyyyyy
Hi, could you make a video talking about the watch of former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro? After all, he is the only former president of Brazil who left office and is not a millionaire, he continues to lead a normal life without privileges like other former presidents.
Thank you.
I love your channel Ben, you have been gone too long!
I have been AWOL!
Quality takes time.
There are reviews. Then there are Ben's Watch Club "Watchumentaries". Nicely done.
Wow, a lot of time and effort gone into this video. Thorough, detailed and great analysis. Nothing sloppy about this CZcamsr. You deserve all the subscriptions you get. Congrats
Glad you enjoyed it!
@@BensWatchClub W Ben
Love my spaghetti watch … weird how it’s dark outside yet the watch says it’s 10.30 am 😊-
The 150 dollar Orient Bambino is actually beautifully built.
It's not only better than a 500 dollar DW, it even holds it's own against a 700 dollar Atlantic.
I bought a rose-gold 37 mm Bambino for my wife and it is exquisite in detail, perfectly sized and with an accuracy of +/- 3-4 seconds a day, which is nothing short of Swiss-worthy.
So, comparing the DW to the Bambino as if the latter were just barely decent is an affront to the Japanese brand.
That Parnis automatic is amazing. Not only are the specs outrageous for the price, it's actually quite good-looking too. And the movement is better decorated than anything under $500.
Nothing like a Parnis on your wrist 🎉
Ben, thanks for taking the time and efford to put this together, man, Im sure it couldn't have been easy! Very well done, indeed: informative, detailed, honest and interesting as well. 43 minutes flew by before I knew it.
Another home run, Ben. Love your reviews of the less expensive end of the watch market. You make 45 minutes pass quickly. Keep it up.
Thanks for that!
@@BensWatchClub www.youtube.com/@xbenswatchclub-td2fy/about scammer here..
Great video on a wide-ranging variety of watch options. Thanks for the continued high quality, Ben!
The green Timex Galli S1 is stunning!
Fantastic video, very extensive and well detailed. Congrats... I think I've never seen a video so well planned and executed for watches on a budget.
I've watched so many of your videos this past week and I just love how you show off the watches. It's all done with such great camera work. I'd actually love it if you could make a video some time showing people how to take nice pictures/videos of their watches like you do.
Congratulations for your videos and for your description!! This one is exactly what I needed!
Nice to see you back!! As usual, excellent quality video!!
I like when a person speaks well and is very clean. Subscribed! Absolute amazing presentation!
Fantastic video. Loved the Sternglass and the Sea-gull 6100 - neither of which I had seen before.
This was an epic episode! Thank you Ben for all your work and research!
Great list, Ben. I appreciate the research. Another suggestion in this vein would be the Timex American Documents series. Handsome watches with a clean, minimalist design. Features a great backstory (for anyone who might care) as it's entirely US made except for the movement. Pricey for a quartz watch, but I managed to get one on sale for just under $300 USD.
I hope you have been well Ben. Always great to see your excellent videos.
Especially valuable about this video is it's covering of a style of watch that is not very popular among watch enthusiasts but very popular among people in the market for a watch in general. Mainly young men.
Having this large selection of high quality/value pieces shown to them is very helpful.
Best regards.
Much appreciated!
This is the best collated video of affordable, subtle, stylish watches I've ever seen 👍
Thank you !
This might be one of your greatest videos yet, Ben! Really love all the pieces you put into it. I have so many friends that are into the "Minimalist" style and I was struggling to come up with all the affordable options, and you literally just release this video!
A great presentation - very rich in content.
holy shit 40 mins,I'm getting my snacks ready
At last, thank you Ben! You're my favourite watch youtube channel!
The seagull ST17 is not a half-bad movement for the price, I’ve had a couple. If you want a mechanical sub-seconds, they are good for the price.
They are actually based on the Miyota 8-series so the DNA of the ST17 is reliable by design.
Wow, I forgot about that Timex Galli! I need to take a look at that again.
Ben I just love how you acculate this timepieces
Some really great options Ben, to think what is available for less than 'fashion' brand prices at far better quality really is astounding. From the many options that were on the list I'd probably look at the Orient and Tissot models. My experience with Tissot has so fa been very good over the years, I've yet to try an Orient but the reviews have been very good and are consistently recommended by trusted reviewers like yourself. Another one that I'd not looked at was the Citizen Axiom, that one will be worth checking out in the flesh assuming they don't all sell out now this video is released. I've had Eco Drive Citizen watches for nigh on a decade and they have all been very good, even the ones with mineral crystals on have lasted very well. Many thanks for sharing.
Great topic thanks for the Braun refresh
This is one beefy boy of a video. Love it!
This is the best rundown of affordable, stylish watches that I've ever seen. Many thanks!
Glad you're back!
You have done it again with another piece of quality content. This makes the period of absence worth it.
Excellent as always Ben!
I recently covered the minimalist space in my collection with a vintage 1977 Omega Constellation Quartz 191.0010, and it has made me think a lot. Granted, it’s pre-owned, so many first-time buyers won’t go into that space, but it’s a Swiss big brand piece for less of the price of a “fashion watch” with a ton of horological significance. The lack of a seconds hand makes me not being bothered about the alignment of its quartz movement, and all in all it quickly became the dressier piece in the collection. And to top it off, the research and time I put into finding more about it made me learn and have fun.
Yes... At first I consider buy a watch... I look at DW... Then saw many reviews... Then I bought Timex weekender Fairfield and Casio MTP instead.
We missed you Ben!
I wish everyone could see your vids. The way you shit on DW & MVMT is priceless 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Here's me hoping they improve their products! I'd make a lot more money if they were decent 😅😂
How the hell DW even got big is beyond me, MVMT I can see because it has Movado money, but who the hell keeps paying for DW?
I am waiting for my minimalist watch from DW. Loving your channel💯
Love this channel ..Thank you for this video
Glad you enjoy it!
The Junghans Max Bill was always my grail watch. However, I was always skeptical due to the hardlex crystal. Now, they have added sapphire, but they also increased prices massively. Even the quartz version costs about 800 €. The Automatic 1300 €. That's out of my budget.
So I desided to go for a more affordable option. I knew about Junkers, but unfurtonally they do not come in 38mm.
I didn't now about Sternglas. But after this video, I will definitly go for the Sternglas Neos Quartz. Bauhaus design, 38mm, Sapphire Glas, 6mm thickness and an accurate switz made Ronda movement. At a fair price of 200 €. Thanks Ben
Update: bought a preowned Naos in quarz for 100 €.
It will be part of my daily rotation until I reach a milestone , safe up the money and reward myself with the Junghans.
@@dave-ld8moMan the Junghans Max Bill Chronoscope is a killer watch! I could afford it but I will never ever spend that amount of money on a wristwatch
@@necroside0077 Yes, I came to the same conclusion. There are more important things than watches.
I decided to safe up to afford buying my first apartment.
Sold all of my watches except for my Seiko Solar, which I wear daily.
Great vid you are the best at budget full stop!
I find the most difficult watch to find these days is the elusive Spaghetti Scametti. Is there a waiting list, anyone know a link?
👀👀
Great work!
Great video, I started my watch journey just over a year ago and thanks to videos like this I managed to avoid watches like affordable fashion watches that are overpiced chinese crap. Keep doing great job Ben
Such a great video. Congratulation on your succes, you deserve it!
I'd add the Seiko SUR369 / 373 / 375 / 377 series. 40mm, titanium case and bracelet, sapphire crustal, and a nice accurate quartz movement. Right around $250 USD depending where it's purchased.
Iron Annie was a nickname given by the allies to the ju 52. Really enjoyed the video (as always)
Another quality video as always Ben!
Have wondered, what’s your opinion on the Timex Marlin 34mm reissue?
As a watch CZcamsr who airs towards the smaller wrist sizes it would seem like a perfect fit for your channel, but I’ve only seen you mention it in passing.
In terms of budget dress watches it’s been the go to in my collection and it’s a low key strap beast, looking great on a nato, Zulu and a mesh bracelet as well as the standard leather.
It’s also pretty much one of the only ways to get vintage styling without the risks of vintage watches.
Jesus Christ he's finally back!
34:14 nooooooo I thought I was cool for finding this and seeing no one else did. Now that more than 5 people know of its existence seiko is gonna discontinue it 😭😭😭
This is just what I needed! My favorite style of watch besides dress watches.
Excelent work, thank you.
Wow, I love Sternglas, but have never seen the Tero. It is PERFECT for me. I hunted it down and bought the last one from an online store! Can't wait oh boy
I picked up a Naos automatic back when Sternglas crowd funded it, so the price was very good. With the white dial and narrow bezel 38mm looks very large. I wish they produced a 36mm version though I wouldn't buy one at current prices.
This video is an absolute GODSEND
It's like you've hacked my brain and read exactly what all my preferences are
Great list and vid ❤❤❤👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽but u forgot the timed easy reader😢😢😢
Top 3 for me are the Galli, presage and Bambino. Can't go wrong with any of these 3, some other good ones on the list though
Another great video.
Ben, what do you think about Ralph Christian watches?
The Nixon Timeteller in gold with the green face was the first watch I bought as an adult, with the profits from my first freelance job no less so it's got sentimental value for me. I went for Nixon having grown up loving the Tony Hawk's video games which heavily featured Nixon advertising so the brand felt nostalgic and "more me". I loved the design and I still enjoy it now. It's got me compliments over the years and it's still ticking away strongly! Having bought a couple of Seiko 5's since, I might test it out in the pool on holiday this year as I hadn't even considered the 100M resistance and I can make it my "holiday watch" to get some more use out of it.
Incredible range of reviews, the only negative being the soundtrack, which personally I would switch off if it were an option. Otherwise an impressive amount of detailed information on a comprehensive range of beautiful and affordable watches. Great stuff.
Great video! By the way, what do you think about bering watches?
Can vouch for the Nixon Timeteller, often overlooked but a great watch!
these all look amazing, thank you for sharing this information, I always was wondering for alternatives for some of these brands.
Curious, I been looking for a watch that would fit my wrists, they are on the kinda on the big side, but while I would love to get a Casio watch, most of the wrist bands are kinda for more narrow wrists, and I have no idea how to go about measuring or which can fit, if any at all.
great video, so many nice wristwatches 👍
Amazing video as usual
Always a good day when Ben uploads
Miyota movements with the one way winding weight are my favorite, after manual wind, for display backs. It turns the watch into a fancy fidget spinner. : ) Winding weights block the view of the movement. But if I flick it into free spin then it disappears like a fan blade. It seems to disappear. It's a fun visual "magic" trick and it makes the display back more fun for me. I think that one way weight is perfect for display backs.
That green Timex looks very nice!!
ive always loved the swiss mondaine minimalist look
Great video!!!!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I’ve got that same Tissot everytime gent and in person that dial is pretty amazing
Love from India❤❤ big fan bro👍👍👍
Ben, great video as usual. My only critique to your channel is you should do more content.
Cracking video 👍
What a fantastic video !!
Do really love the look of the rotary tank
Good quality video chief
Excelent vídeo. As usual.
Great video
Excellent video. Something I can send to anyone looking to join the ranks of watch collectors.
I'm a big watch fan collector...my first watch at age 10 was a Sears sports divers....then Seiko caught my interest in the 70s commercials...now I own Citizen solar😢 watches.....great video n all true 👍
Great Content
Bro i really like ur videos
Thank you so much 😀
Gawd that case of the Timex Galli S1... very nice!
Surprised you didn’t mention Lilienthal Berlin from Germany. I’ve had their L1 for a few years and love it.
Do not buy Braun copycats from Junghans: get the iconic ones like the AW10 and the AW50 Designed by Deitrich Lubs and Dieter Rams in 1989 (8:24), which really are icons of design, being in display at MoMA
Welcome back sir!
More to come!
@@BensWatchClub already looking forward to it, and I haven't even finished this video yet 😉
That is a fantastic looking/bargain watch, it's enough to give a bloke Parnis envy.
Hi Ben! Would you consider reviewing a Bering watch? I fell in love with this brand, and I think Bering deserves your attention. These watches are of great quality, and their minimalist style is beyond everything I’ve seen before. Thanks a lot, and greetings from The Netherlands!
I have two Nixon Time Tellers. They´re just cool and fun. And very affordable.
Amazing how he spoke for 45 minutes without taking a breath.
Hey Ben, did you see the new seiko srpj series? They are the new seiko 5 field watches (srpg) but with 36mm cases. Should be interesting
I purchased the Timex S1 limited edition, and so far I love it! Only thing is that the rubber strap is kind of uncomfortable...not very flexible. What do you recommend for a leather (more comfortable) replacement?
Love the Parnis
lol the watches to avoid chapter is just blurred
I recently bought the SEIKO SUR307 in silver and love this watch. Dressy, but also a little bit sporty. It has 10 bar WR, slim 8,4 mm thickness, saphirecrystal, lumiBrite and a wonderful sunburst dial. Got it for 180 Euro recently, what a bargain! Only Downside is the bracelet, which I might switch in the future. Other than that I am very happy.
Had a Timex Fairfield before, but was never really happy with that watch as I am now with this SEIKO (also available in other color options like black and blue btw)
Nice one! you definitely need to post more often :)
That's the plan!
You can't rush quality, but regardless I concur.
I used to worked for Zeon, they designed the watches in the UK. They then (at the time and to my knowledge) had them made in China. Zeon is part of the Herald group. Zeon make various brands of watch under license. They are make the supermarket/ store brand watches.
