Building The ULTIMATE Budget Watch Collection

Please do watches under 200 usd

Please stop misusing the hard A.

Should’ve this been the “my dream watch collection “?

Does anyone know the name of the 2nd citizen nighthawk shown ? New to watches and I think it looks great but can't seem to find it

Just started mine

1.Chronograph - Tissot couterier Chronograph Tn35 (white dial,brown leather strap)
2.Beater - Casio G shock GW 5600BC-1Dr (gold dial,composite strap)

Thinking of getting an orient bambino for dress and probably a citizen for field ...diver probably later on when i become a specialist lol,pilot probably later,everyday watch would be after acquiring my dress and field ...wan to have them with a memory not only for collection.

Nice ranking👍I own a citizen tsuyosa Citizen tsuyosa The dark blue dial deserves to be a suit watch.

Could you do an episode about Edox watches? What do you think about it etc

great video and excellent picks!

Brilliant video mate! Getting into watches lately and want to start a collection, top watch shouts in this video 👍

Needs a few Pagani Design watches. They're top-tier for budget watches, along with Casio. Where else can you get Sapphire crystal on a $50 watch?

Just started to create a affordable watch collection.
1. Diver timex q reissue under 200

2. Casino Tiffany blue under 100.00

3. Next tissot prx gold (not yet)

4. SEIKO tank style leather band watch. ( not yet)

This is a very boring video..

Diver: Orient Kamasu
Everyday: Seiko DressKX
Dress: Citizen Tsuyosa / Orient Helios / Frederique Constant slim
Chrono: do not have any :')
Field: Hamilton Khaki
Beater: Casio A168

Great video and lots of great choices!!

Is it possible to get my hands on a lorier falcon? Wasn’t able to find a retailer online

Fantastic content!

Good Lord - that cream on cream Orient Defender is amazing!

Where can I find that? It's not on their website.

Great video - thank you.
My picks:
Diver: Citizen Promaster (though I'm really tempted by the Alkin)
Chrono: Sea-Gull 1963
Everyday: Lorier Falcon (close second, Baltic HMS)
Field: Boldr Venture
Dress: Casio AQ230
GMT: Seiko SSK (I love the Casio Royale - got 2 of them - but does it fit into the GMT category? I don't know the answer!)
Pilot: Laco Augsburg
Beat: G-Shock DW 5600

What a great idea! And what a job! Congrats!

From your list :
Dive watch: Orient Kamasu
Chronograph: Yema Rallygraf
Everyday watch: Tissot PRX Powermatic 80
Field watch: Boldr Venture
Dress watch: Seiko Cocktail Time
GMT: Bulova Wilton
Pilot watch: Aristo 5H100
Beater: None.

Great video! A fantastic complete and well balanced collection.
Considering your options I would select:
Diver: Tissot Seastar
Chronograph: Bulova Lunar Pilot
Everyday: Tissot PRX
Field: CWC
Dress: Citizen NH8350
GMT: Bulova Wilton GMT
Pilot: Laco Augsburg
Beater: Casio GM2100

Although I have some of the watches mentioned in the video, once this is supposed to be a budget tier, this is my collection:
Diver: Citizen ProMaster Super Titanium NY0100-50M
Chronograph: Ingersoll The Scovil
Everyday: Casio MTP-1302PD
Field: Vintage Edox
Dress: Orient Bambino FAC0000AB0
GMT: Citizen Dual Time A03009-04A
Pilot: Zeno-Watch Basel Magellano (over budget, but the only one I have)
Beater: Seiko Prospex SSC293P1

Dive watches for non divers are RIDICULOUS. When I see you, I see 🤡

Diver : Bulova Devil Diver
Chronograph : Q Timex
Everyday : Tissot PRX
Field : CWC G10
Dress : Seiko 5 / Orient Bambino
GMT : Timex GMT
Pilot : Citizen Garrison
Beater : G-Shock

Out of your choices. Dive watch = Alkin. Chronos = Yema Rallygraf (I own one). Every day watch = Baltic. Field watch = none of yours, I'd get a Hamilton. Dress watch = Merkur. The GMT = None of yours, it would be the Chris Ward C63 GMT or even the Batavi Kosmopoliet. Pilot watch = I liked the Zeppelin, but none of them beat a Glycine Airman. Beater watch = I bought a used Rotary Henley GMT for £60. Sapphire crystal, great lume, good water resistance, a decent bracelet, and a good Ronda quartz GMT movement. In summary, I hate Casio watches, and the only Seiko I like is the Alpinist

great video!

Diver: Casio Duro
Chrono: Q Timex
Everyday: Citizen Tsuyosa
Field: Lorus Titanium
Dress: Orient Bambino
GMT: Casio Royale (already own the Q Timex GMT, lol)
Pilot: AVI-8 or the Zeppelin
Beater: F91-W

Excellent video! Thanks for providing it.

MY budget collection thus far:
- Tissot PRX PM80 (Green)
- Seiko GMT SSK003
- Hamilton Khaki Field Mechanical 38mm
- Bulova Lunar Pilot (Black PVD)
- Swatch Moonswatch Mission to Mars
- Phoibos Wavemaster (Green)
- Heitis Bronze Okeanos (White)
- Last but not least ... Casio GA2100 (Grey)

Only addition I am considering is a vintage Omega dress watch, or an Orient Bambino. Other than that addition, my collection has everything I want and need.

Timex expedition=best field watch

Great selections! I would have added Tissot Gentleman (for Dress or Everyday) with the PRX. And under Chronograph the Seiko Prospex Speedtimer. For Everyday or even Dress…Seiko SARV001 is a great JDM watch for $200 that does it all.
Some of mine…
Diver: Orient Kamasu Blue / Orient Triton Green / Tissot Seastar 1000 Powermatic 80 Black / Breitling Colt Ocean
Dress: Raymond Weil Maestro/ Tissot PR100 COSC Chronometer/Orient Helios
Everyday: MIDO Multifort / Certina DS Podium / Edox Les Vaubert Chrono
Pilot: Alpina StarTimer / Citizen World Chronograph AT8020-03L Blue Angels / Laco AugsburgType B
Field: Seiko Alpinist SBDC091
Beater: Victorinox Swiss Army

Still not safe wearing these cool affordable watches in London...

the casio duro here in brazil have a decent competitor - Orient Solar tech Mbsp1038, about the same price, turtle style, 200mWR and solar power

Vintage is the way to go if you want a true ultimate budget collection. Recently picked up a second generation Seiko U.T.D. for only 450 USD. Its a ultra thin watch with a fully hand-made movement. A swiss watch, with a similarly thin case profile and decorated movement, would cost closer to 2000 USD pre owned. Ebel and Longines have killer neo-vintage watches aswell

30$ dress vintage HMT Pilot- domed glass, beautiful domed dial, has an esthetic that reminds you of vintage Omega pie-pan

Seems like you can complete the whole collection by going only with Orient.

You know it’s affordable when you start off with a Casio. Great selection. Well done.

Diver: Orient Kamasu
Chronograph: Timex q
Every day: Citizen Tsuyosa
Field: Seiko srpg (because i have one)
Dress: Seiko presage
GMT: Bulova
Pilot: AVI-8
Beater: G-shock Ga2100

I’m sorry but Tissot and orient feels like a fashion watch that came out of a vending machine

Great content sir. Well done. I wonder why you didn't include the Hamilton Khaki line in your field watch category. They are reasonably priced and of very good quality. Just curious if there was a specific reason you excluded them. I understand you could not recommend an unlimited number of watches but this one seems a no brainer to me. Keep up the good work. I just hit the subscribe button....

All my watches are beaters 😎 cause all are cheap 😁

Usimg watches I own.... Seagull 1963, Tissot prx Mint and my bulova lunat pilot- datk side of the moon.

My GMT watch is a Glycine but the original GMT the Glycine Airman

Quick question about the PRX, with it being a built in bracelet - is it too big for a skinny wrist?

Can you recommend a box?

Hi im looking for daily wear watch goes with formal and casual. Can u Please suggest one or two watches?
Thanks
