Thanks Josh. Do you prefer wearing Quartz or Automatic watches?

@@RealMenRealStyle why you alwasys wear dress shirts or suits.Wear something better like flannels,hoodie or t-shirt
Hello Sir! I own a Tag Heuer Formula 1. Battery died already. Should I get a replacement from Tag Heuer Store or is it ok to replace the battery outside Tag Heuer. Thank you
Do NOT buy a Vincero. They may look nice but the quality is terrible. Do yourself a favour and buy a Seiko.
@Viktor Benji I disagree. Casio's quality has gone down recently. An Orient is much better. The Maestros/Bambinos are beautiful.
Agreed there are plenty of Seiko's that are better quality than a Vincero. Or save and buy a used Omega for a decent price; depending on model it is.
@@peterothagoer4154 Also the Orient Symphony
What about Fossil?
Are Nixon watches any good
VINCERO IS GARBAGE, STOP PROMOTING GARBAGE BECAUSE THEY PAY YOU TO DO SO.. THAT'S A GOOD WAY TO LOSE CREDIBILITY BRO
Already did years ago.
just by looking at the title i knew that this video contain vincero ads
Nice information, but I can't take someone serious that is promoting Vincero or any other fashion watch.
Thijs agree
Agreed
Agree 100%
All watches are pretty much fashion watches. Even Rolex is a fashion watch. People pay thousands for one just because it says "Rolex" on the face. Buy the watch you like.
@@alvo-oooo The difference is that Rolex actually has great quality and status. On top of that is that they keep their value, something a cheap Chinese made fashion watch doesn't. Comparing these two is like comparing apples with bananas.
STOP PROMOTING VINCERO!!!!!!!
guys, can someone explain to me why Vincero sucks? I need a BOLD and explicit answers please! i just bought a rose gold chrono S and currently waiting for it to be delivered? care to explain watch geeks? thank you!!
Tim Duncan21 did you get it?
@@kptoca vincero buys very cheaply made mass produced poor quality watches from China, and sells for them for a extremely significant mark up. You can buy the same watch without their logo for $12 or less on Ali Express.
Same old Faux italian luxury branding
@@timduncan2135 Probably because there are too many cheaply made watches. Pretending to be Italian luxury pieces. It's all perception anyway if you like it you're winning, you are better off with a Seiko or a Orient for the qualify is incomparable for the same kind of money
Throw away that fashion watch vincero. Buy seiko(especially dive watches) instead. They're inexpensive but durable that can last decades.
The problem is servicing it
Seiko make quartz too
Yeah what’s with the 5 minute ad
They paying him money

Why Vincero is better than Rolex
He's not going to do that. He knows better
Buy whichever you prefer but don’t buy junk like Vincero or MVMT. They are 3 dollar Chinese watches with their logo stamped on. You can get the exact same watch for pennies on the dollar. Terrible quality, terrible material and terrible deal.

Mechanical is the way to go cause of the craftsmanship and quartz for accuracy. I would personally go for Mechanical.
Great video
Great video Antonio! As you pointed out each have their pros. For chronographs I use quartz for accuracy; for other watches, mechanical for the engineering and heritage.
I have several of each, you can’t beat quartz for accuracy and being able to grab and go without setting date and time and winding. But you can’t beat a good quality mechanical for style and for appreciating the workmanship and technology. I love both and switch all the time since I have everything from a Casio Duro to Seiko 5KX to a Tag 6000 Chronometer
Luv your vids
I learn more
One thing you didn't cover, but is kinda hard to put in either mechanical or quartz, is something like the Grand Seiko with their Spring Drive and the perfect sweep. But a great intro video into watches overall.
The advantage of mechanical over
automatic is, you get a level of engagement with your watch you don't with quartz. For the collector, and connoisseur of watches, this is a good thing. Other aspects of autos and mechanicals is maybe more imagined than real. Like old world craftsmanship, heritage, and tradition. The reason is, even high end products like Rolex are made in factories these days, not in little workshops. And while many fine brands do have history, most watch brands are owned by huge conglomerates. Nevertheless, watch collectors like the idea that, for example, the Rolex Explorer on their wrist has a history going back to the first Everest expedition. Or the Omega Speedmaster Pro went to the moon. Finally, at least with better mechanicals, there is the fact that when they break, they can be repaired. So while it isn't cheap, you can tell yourself this is something you can leave to your children someday. Nobody will be leaving a quartz watch to their children.
Now the advantage of quartz. They are more accurate than mechanicals. More accurate than the finest certified chronometers. And cheap. In some cases, really cheap. But this is a problem. Because they are ubiquitous, they are not collectible. The opposite in fact. Even quartz from prestigious brands have almost no value on the secondary market. So, not much pride of ownership in having one. That said, if telling time is all you care about than a decent quartz watch for a couple hundred bucks might be the way to go. It will be something that will serve you for 5 or 10 years and when it breaks, you will toss it. No heirloom quality quartz, or very few.
I personally have both in my collection. If you want inexpensive quartz, go with something like Timex or Casio. Mid level, maybe Seiko or if you prefer swiss, something like Swatch, Mondaine, Swiss Army, or Tissot. For mechanical, Seiko and Orient are value products. Swiss brands like Tissot, Certina and Hamilton are a step up in quality. Beyond that, the sky is the limit. Obviously Rolex and Omega, but there are brands way beyond those.
Whatever you do, stay away from Vincero, MVMT, or Daniel Wellington. Horrible watches.
I was about to give you props for your explanations. Very interesting. Unfortunately I can't give a thumbs up.
I must say that my vincero is the best watch I've ever owned. It has served me well and I absolutely love it.
@@jpjp9111 that is fine. To each his own. But, I have to ask. How long have you had your Vincero? And when you say it is the best watch you ever owned, I would like to know what watches you have owned?
@@martintanz9098 I've had it for 2.5 years now. I personally think it's very nice looking.
I'm unsure what my previous ones were. I just wore them until the battery ran out. Then I'd somehow acquire a new one. When I finally got my first cell phone, I didn't need a watch. The phone gave me the time.
I think I've had a Casio when I was a kid. That's when I realized that digital watches were crap that broke all the time. Never wanted a Casio since then.
The only one that I am against.
I think I also had a Seiko once. It was just a simple watch until the battery ran out. Then I lost that too.
Currently in addition to my vincero, I have a generic off brand named Patek Philippe. I've never heard of it but I inherited it last year when a relative died. It's a wind up automatic. First wind up I've owned. It's cool looking but still just a watch. I get my time from my phone.
@@jpjp9111 If you really have a Patek Philippe, you should get it appraised and maybe increase your insurance, as it is one of the finest watches in the world, and very expensive.
@@martintanz9098
Really? I never heard of it. So it is actually worth something?
I inherited it from my father when he died. He was not a poor man by any means.
I actually enjoy both mechanical/ automatic watches and quartz. Both have a place in horology to me. No watch snobbery on my side of the fence😁
A true horologist.
Great video Antonio 👍🏻
Thanks Redzuan. Do you like Quartz or Automatic watches?
Hey, very nice video once again while i’m actually looking for a watch to buy to go back to high school😃
What's your take on smart watches?
I have both in my collection. You did not mention eco-drive, or solar powered watches. I have a Citizen Chandler that is my go to watch for travel or outdoor activities. It’s powered by the sun and super durable.
Mechanical watches can be addictive if you are the kind of man who loves complicated machines. It's like putting a car on your wrist.
Antonio, will it be possible to do a comparison video among Enemy, jade black and Ray-ban / Persols?
I love two things called meca-quartz and Bulova.
Great video.
For me, I'm for automatic all the way. I don't need to be precise to the nearest second (I have my phone with internet time for that, in the unlikely events that this is needed), so the main benefit of the quartz watch is not so big for me.
I bought my Seiko automatic watch 20 years ago, and it's never let me down, as long as I wear it regularly to keep it "charged". I've never had to service it, other than repairing the clasp ( but that doesn't count for the timekeeping function), and it works for my lifestyle. Plus I don't have to change batteries every couple of years like I did with my previous (quartz) watch.
I'm never going back to battery if I can help it (caveat: I might get a dirt-cheap inexpensive digital quartz watch for playing tennis, after watching your video!)
Good brand choice as well.
I love mechanical watches! All those wheels, jewels, springs. I have a 1950s Hamilton wristwatch, so classy. However, I have a Quartz timepiece 'sidearm' just in case.
That's really cool!
Thoughts on Tayroc?
They sponsored a channel I watch a few months back and bought 2.
I’ve enjoyed them so far.
Hey, I have that exact same Vincero watch at the start of the video!
About casio:
Bought years ago casio wave solar.
Very precisious👌
No watch snob here. I love them both.
The one second tick is not exclusive to quartz, there is complication for mechanical called dead seconds that emulates the tick off quartz. It's one of the less common complications, the most famous example is probably the Jaeger LeCoultre Geophysic True Second.
I recently started learnt about automatic and start to like them. Two questions if you can guide. 1. Can we wear metal band watches with suits in office? 2. Does someone wear metal band watch while sleeping. Sorry if you think questions are stupid and should be known already by everyone. 😀
I was going to buy a fashion watch like Vincero but ended buying a Hamilton instead. Ofcourse it's a lot more money but it's just better.
Which type to buy? Main thing is not to buy a awful vincero watch.....i made this mistake only once.
What happened, exactly?
@@tomswiss7128 The watch is bad. Not to compare with brands like Seiko, Orient or Casio. Everyone knows about Vincero and their shit.
@@tomswiss7128 I too am intrigued
gamezoneifictation vincero is best
@@Ferien7 no
For people who value time, Quartz is the way forward.
For a watch tutorial video, most of the comments are pretty amusing. Amusing but true.
Is that a Tag Heuer Monaco you used as an example for automatics?
Mostly mechanical watches but, there are some quartz watches that I do like
For the price of 2 or 3 Vincerò you can get a Tissot, a watch that is Swiss made and has amazing heritage.
I actually own both kinds and both have their place. For a daily, it's a quartz. My fun watches are automatic.
Has anyone experience with CHPO watches? They're from sweden and i kind a like their stuff.
I personally prefer a Quartz watch since it is more accurate. However mechanical watches are special because they are more sophisticated. I am saving money to get a watch from Vincero. I love the Gunmetal in the Chrono S connection and the White/Silver from the Kairos Series.
Thanks for all that info Antonio!
Do yourself a favor and get a Dan Henry Chrono or the Seagull 1963 if you're on a budget
Don’t buy Vincero, please! They’re garbage
I've always had quartz watches except an old family heirloom watch from my grandfather from WW2. It needs to be "tuned up" but at a cost of several hundred dollars it sits in my closet safe.
I picked up a "non-functioning" Vincero (blue face, brown leather band, steel case) at the local thrift store for $25.00 and all it needed was a battery. I love those kinds of deals.
I know, right? Watches are definitely a great heirloom. How long have you been wearing Vincero?
I bought it 2 weeks ago when I was in looking for a few bargains. It was the Vincero for $25 or a badly beat up Rolex knock off for $20. I chose the Vincero and got the battery installed at the jeweller for $10. Only beef with the Vincero is the band is a bit beaten up and cracked but when I'm wearing it it looks great.
At $25 for a watch that works and looks decent enough I'm not complaining. Not saying it's a top or even mid quality watch but it was cheap and it works so it's good enough for now.
Quards watches are my go to
Using this paid ad to promote knowledge was an excellent move.
I do hope you retain the attention of a more reputable watch sponsor in the future to ensure your brand ROI in the future.
Keep doing what you do Devil
Very informative. The reason i don't buy mechanical is because of Maintenance.
Thanks
I've been in automatic watch ... But, now...I prefer quartz....5-years on changing battery is not a problem...it takes just a couple of minutes just to get it done.....
I'm a quartz watch fan myself.
I prefer quartz movements as there is no escapement working like a hand brake on a car while driving just to control the speed and thereby using up most of its energy.
Mechanical(automatic) all the way, simply because it's a work of art of a engineering masterpiece on your wrist, and it can last forever and hold value for established brands
I have an oris mechanical watch
I have a family heirloom pocket watch..nobody in my area knows how to fix it or watch repair people said it can't be fixed. I love that watch..it tries to work but the hands get stuck easily and I haven't found anyone who can fix it so I tend to stick with quartz watches that all I really need to do is change a battery so I don't have to worry about cost for parts.
What kind of pocket watch is it? Depending on the brand and period you might be able to find a qualified watchmaker online
@@JamesRDavenport It's a Westclox pocket watch, and it's a mechanical pocket watch that you have to pull the top up and wind it. It doesn't have a chain but instead it has a fob and on both the front of the watch case and fob it has a scene of dogs chasing a deer..it looks similar to the Hunter watch you can find but the face doesn't have the iconic deer above the six and the numbers are all roman numerals instead of the classic 1-12 I saw on the Hunter model, it's also more of a steel case than a gold case.. That's about all I can tell you as I'm not a watch expert and I just wanted it fixed because it's a family heirloom kinda thing, since my grandpa had it and probably his dad before him.
@@ShinKyuubi Hmm... I did a quick search for images for the type of westclox watch you've described and is it possible that they told you it wasn't worth the cost-value ratio? The vintage elk hunters I saw all dated between the 50's-70s and could all still be purchased for under $100. (Might not be your same watch of course.) Do a search for renaissance vintage watch repair or horologist dot com, take some pics of your watch and shoot one of them an email. You might have to pay more than the watch is worth to have it repaired but the sentimental value might be worth it. Good luck!
@@JamesRDavenport Thanks for the tip, I'll have to try that at some point. I took it to a local jewelry shop that also does watches and they sent it to their watch guy and it came back with them saying he couldn't fix it..I don't have any local watch repair places and am extremely nervous about sending it away, given the fact it's probably from the 50's-60's given that's when my grandpa grew up it might have been the case you brought up of it would be more expensive to fix it than the watch is actually worth..if it turns out that's the case I'd rather have it and be able to pass it down than not have it on the off chance it may be lost or stolen in the mail.
guys, can someone explain to me why Vincero sucks? I need a BOLD and explicit answers please! i just bought a rose gold chrono S and currently waiting for it to be delivered? care to explain watch geeks? thank you!!
I have both quartz and mechanical. I wear different ones based upon what I am doing. Usually the mechanical one if I am wearing a shirt and tie but the quartz if I am doing something that might damage the watch.
Quartz anytime
I like your channel. But the Vincero promoting counters many of your tips. Quality is key. I know you make money from sponsors so get your money. But I will lead people with my recommendations below, and I'm sure people can chime in.
Low: Seiko, Oris, Orient, Sinn
Mid: Omega, Tudor, JLC
High: Patek, AP, Rolex (debatable for high)
Don't forget that these are also considered jewelry. You can have an inexpensive movement in a $5000 case of gold and diamonds! If you're into ornament rather than functionality, it really doesn't matter.
So many negative comments for vincero watches gets me thinking..🤔
Btw some well researched info you have covered there Antonio..✅
Thanks Talha. Which do you prefer? Quartz vs Automatic?
@@RealMenRealStyle i have both Quartz and automatic watch. But i prefer automatic as it has easy maintenance & i can change it frequently (affordable)* plus it give an accurate time. Other then this Quartz watches are timeless pieces which u prefer wearing for fancier occasions. 😌⌚✅💯
Why you should chose a quartz over an automatic? ... because it's sponsoooored 🤑😉
Well depends, would never wear my Rolex out on the field or even regular service. It’s not as tough and less precise than a luminox or Casio
ACCURACY! A certified chronometer must be accurate within -4 to +6 seconds per day. Even a $50 Casio will be accurate to within 5 seconds per week (one of my G-Shocks didn't have to be set for 3 months). No mechanical watch is that accurate. I own both mechs and quartz. I have to wind up and set a mech if I'm going to wear it. Day to day, I wear quartz just because it's already running, and set.
I have both. The Tissot PRX is a beautiful Quartz watch till they came out with the waffle looking dial. Should’ve kept it original.
Thats a trick question, you should have many of both.
Good answer LJ!
Love all kinds of watches but there’s something special about mechanicals. All those moving parts coming together to keep time is really cool in today’s world where everything is electronic.
I say quartz for everyday use and mechanical for when you are at an event of some sort or just dressing up.
Wonderful history and fascinating information. I learned a lot and I gained value from this video. Then again, I always gain value from your material.
Regarding quartz vs automatic, I don't have much preference. I'm not much for the digital watch though. I prefer the traditional analog. I do love the nostalgia behind a winding mechanical watch though.
I absolutely love ❤ my Vincero. It is a beautiful watch.
A quartz watch for day to day wear and an automatic watch for that special occasion.
Yes! You can have both :)
I do it the other way around. Automatic for daily wear so I don't have to wind it and then set the time when I do use it. A dressier quartz watch for special occasions since it always is running with the correct time.
The automatic was pretty inexpensive; the quartz dirt cheap. I won't mention brands because it would just set off the watch snobs who have nothing better to do.
Alan Voorhees Vincero wasn’t it. Or 10x worse, Daniel wellington 🤮
I'm into, mechanical Swiss made, high end watches. Because they're considered an investment. They hold their value better. Although, I'd never consider selling one. But, I like the whole idea of my watch maintaining its value.
What's your go-to brand?
@@RealMenRealStyle I'm real old school, Cartier creations. Thanks!
Not all Swiss watches are good for investment specially a steel watches. If you want to invest your money go for investment company not in watches.
@@samdim3746 I totally agree. But, the topic was watches. And the comment was about, my personal tastes. To horologists, the term, "investment grade," is generally understood.
@@Laurentiius yeah because watches is a tool and not a jewelry that's why I said is not good for investment, if you put your money in a watches after 10 years you can compare if you invest in a company that work for your money. I have so Many topic about watches seen in CZcams but they are different opinion but most of them are saying that watches is not good for investment.
I’ve been a fan of this channel for many years. For crying out loud, no matter how much they pay you, please stop promoting crap (Vincero).
I am team both. Certain events calls for a certain watch.
I agree!
It's disgusting that he's trying to sell vincero on a watch related video
That's a bit harsh, isn't it?
@@RealMenRealStyle No, it's not. You know what their products are, you are knowledgeable on the matter. Especially in this specific video, people are looking for watch advice, and by placing this ad you are directly recommending them to buy vincero. And that's just wrong. You are deceiving your watchers! 😡 Please have some respect.
@@RealMenRealStyle at least let this be a lesson for the future. If you make a video on a subject X, that's going to attract people with understanding on X subject. So don't try to sell them shit X and not expect backlash.
So instead next time sell some other non directly related product, of course after seeing this video, I will simply assume it is shit too, even if I don't know about the matter.
This video really hurt your reputation.
@@Tony-qb2ed hi Tony, I'm glad you are showing interest in this matter.
Since you brought up seiko and citizen, those are prime examples why you shouldn't buy a vincero so let's go with the reasons.
Vincero watch, yes they are made in china, but the issue is that is not vincero making the watches. They pick good looking watches from factories, slap their logo and sell it to you for insane profit margins. If you for example, use the AliExpress image search feature with one of vincero watches you will easily find the same watch for maybe 10% of the price.
So now we're at the point that you are wasting 80-90% of your money, maybe you still like the watch and the brand, and you might be willing to put your money on their watches, so let's talk build quality.
As I said before those watches are really cheap to produce, and this means really cheap mechanisms which, ok might be good for a few nights outs, but if you are interested in watches and ever wish to start a collection, those cheap Chinese movements will not last. Most quartz movements on these brand are sold for under 1 dollar!!!
The materials of the build are the worst there is available too. The paint will get broken in a few weeks and the watch will look really bad really fast.
As far as I know there doesn't seem be any major quality control issue, but I wouldn't think that they come anywhere close to a seiko.
I do understand your point of view, and if you intend to buy a watch use it for 2 or 3 months on the regular then throw it away, then vincero seems just right for you.
But if you are or will be a watch enthusiast, then it's nice to still have the watches that you've kept along the years, still looking nice and in working condition. Or, you may sell them afterwards, discontinued models can appreciate quite a bit. With vincero... Well, in you go 🗑️
Don't buy a Seiko 5 unless you wear it all the time as it cannot be hand wound, or have a watch winding machine.
The new issue Seiko 5s have the better 4r36 hand windable movement. Get one
So, if I understand this correctly, Quartz is better in pretty much everything but heritage
Edwin Jonah quartz is best heritage
A watch should always be about aesthetics, does not matter whats under the hood. Just saying a mechanical has a life is convincing yourself that all those dollars spent are worth. Fact of the matter is it is just a marketing gimic. When quartz crises hit, watch makers thought how would we justify high cost of watches and our profits with so cheap movements. So they started making mechanical and bagging high margins calling names to their movements. Why would an inhouse new movement be any day better than tried and tested ETA.. Its just marketting and people fall for it. GO for the asthetics and brand value if you really care. Being a mechanical or quartz should not matter. Sweeping hands vs sweep hands.. seriously guys, everyone is mortal here, who cares about second hands .
Fashion watches are exactly what the name implies "fashion" as in not made to last! Therefore; fashion watches are cheap mass made time pieces. However; due to social media, digital marketing and so, some fashion watches companies started to make false claims such as claiming that their products are classified under "affordable luxury"! what does that mean? this is an oxymoron, and these watches are all cheaply made in china and you can buy them on Alibaba or AliExpress for pennies. The designs are not original and are mostly aspired by other brands. Some influencers even dared to claim that fashion watches are better than Rolex! However, there is one positive to this fashion watch apocalypse which is encouraging the young generation to wear a watch, and it's the mainstream brands fault not to use social media and digital marketing to their advantage the way fashion watches companies are.
Massively, massively agreed. It's like buying something which is trending: probably overpriced but that looks (hopefully) good for a short amount of time.
And like you said, if watch companies started to be sponsors of videos like this, they would literally destroy the cheap ones, I guess.
Luxury products are things not essential but are highly desired and associated with wealthy people. They are bought to support self-worth and status, or for the product's quality and craftsmanship. Price is fairly irrelevant; appearance is what's important. That's why people wear cheap t-shirts with "Dior" printed on them.
Wearing a Rolex watch is just like wearing a Daniel Wellington watch, except the Rolex wearer paid thousands to have the logo on the face of their watch, unlike the DW wearer who spent less than $200 for the name. They are both, by definition, fashion watches.
Vincero, the watch company that makes complications that don't actually work. For the same price you can do better.
Not all mechanicals are automatics, but all automatics are mechanicals.
There's a lot of questions in the comments section about which watch they should buy.
Honestly just buy a watch that makes you happy and don't over pay for what your getting.
I've got a few expensive watches and some very cheap watches and every time I put any of them on I get excited to wear them.
Buy for you not for other people.
Agreed - buy a watch that works for you.
Buy what you like. Nobody else cares. I have a fashion watch that watch snobs hate that gets positive comments on occasion, and I have a more expensive automatic watch that watch snobs like. I wear the automatic one every day and no one has ever commented on it.
Vincero, Daniel Wellington and other fashon watches use cheap movements and parts, and are of low quality. If you shop around at aliexpress, you 'll find the exact same watch without the brandname for a fraction of the price. The Movement, Vincero is using in thier mechanical watches is a Miyota 821a with a costom rotor. This is the lowest tier of automatic movements, Citizen/Miyota has to offer. You can find a lot of alternatives with that movement at less than 100 USD or you go for a Seiko 5 with the 7S26 movement. Many of the Seiko 5 models also sell for under 100$. And you get a watch of a real watchcompany.
Another problem with these fashonwatches is, that the part, that is actually holding the movement is made of crappy plastic with a verry limited shockresistance. So, if you buy a poorly made quartzdriven fashonwatch, the robust quartsmovement will work as you would expect, but because of the ceap movemet holder, the watch will not survive intense sports .
It's vin-che-ro! (I'm 99% sure)

Great vid Antonio & those Vincero watches are top 🤘😎👍
I have both but definitely prefer a mechanical
Any favorite brands?
@@RealMenRealStyle Seiko, Orient, Hamilton
Real Men Real Style Omega, Breitling, Rolex
Great video Antonio.I prefer automatic watches to quartz movement because I don’t have to worry about changing batteries
Dozens of Seiko army here.
Guys, not everybody buys a Camry or Corolla. I know people bought Chinese cars, which I won't tough from a thousand miles. But won't reach and peach them to buy outdated style Seiko or Toyota.
Thumbnail is inaccurate. I’d use an Icon, Reserve, or Marble Automatic instead of a Chrono S.
Automatic!
I prefer mechanical. It's easier to respect a piece where you can see each individual part and what it does. Where a quartz, you just don't see it working. Unless you know how it works.
I have an automatic. There isn't much of a difference between mechanical and automatic, other than the fact that you can wind the automatic with motion.
For me i stop biying quarts watches years ago. when the batteries die i throw it in a drawer and never use it. I either buy solar or mechanical.
Any brands you can recommend?
You know, the batteries are easily replaceable.
@@marianr.0231 Haha
MECHENICAL 🔥
Quartz are simpler to handle and much thinner
Overall the comments are negative on the watch company featured.
Such a shame, they look nice.
I'll just stay away from the company.
Otherwise nice information on watches.
I.have a Seiko thats my go to watch over 13 years old.
A gift I treasure, a 1947 Longines that looks very formal, passed to me from my dad.
I was in New Mexico recently in a shop, looking at cufflinks .
A lady complemented me on my metal silver band Casio Illuminator
I use when I run, go figure.
Watches are so personal.
I'm planning to step up to a Tudor, that's my choice.
In my humble opinion now a days for under $500.00 you can get a nice deal on a quality watch.
The haters are watch snobs. Vincero may not yield the best value for their modest price, but if you like one, buy it.
Automatic are best
Quartz is better, we just don't care.
How about a digital watch??
That's for ANOTHER video
When a quartz wears out, it will require replacing. Mechanical watches can be repaired. Thus they can survive generations they can be passed on for hundreds of years.
Btw, atomic watches are also mechanical. And can also , with maintenance, last for generations. Quartz movements are just disposable. I wouldn't pay more than $35 for one
Quartz watch stops, the watch does not die, just the movement dies. You replace it for $50 and you have a new watch again. Quartz watch can last for generations with very minor maintenance while mechanical will take a big bite every 5 years. Buy a nice Quartz from a reputable brand like the Omega Seamaster Quartz or Aqua Tera Quartz and you get best materials and zero maintenance.
Mechanical
Im not buying a watch that has genuine leather and "sapphire coated" glass, just doesnt add up. Especially for the price of a vincero not worth it in my opinion
Dude! Not worth destroying your image with those sponsored crap
Automatics
I prefers smart watches but are no pretty. Please can you make a video of best fashion smart watches?
Smartwatches are a bad investment. They become worthless after a few years because the battery gets weak and they wont get updated anymore
@@md-lc8gq Though this might be true, the smart watch can still be a useful tool. Some folks get value from the functions they perform. There are different watches for different purposes.
There is no such thing as a good fashion smart watch, at least currently not. Even the nicest design lacks all elegance with its full plastic look. My $35 metal-strap Casio looks more elegant than a smart watch, especially with an elegant outfit, it at least doesn't level an outfit down.
Levente Bárdossy so true
“And VINCERO is better then ROLEX” alpha m. 😂😂
Okay so im buying a seiko just because every is saying
I choose electronic that's connected to my phone and then to satellite :D
