Top Ten Best RED Watch Dials Under $1000
Is it just me, or are there very few watches out there with red dials? In this video I explore reasons why that might be the case, and identify ten of the best watches available with red dials under $1000.
Note: Just realised I forgot to put the little ribbon on the Cronografo, for clarity it gets my recommendation for this video! Sorry about that.

The Watch That YouTube Bought - Timex M79 Automatic
Просмотров 8607 часов назад
In this video I discuss and compare the Timex M79 Automatic with the Timex Q Quartz model I also own. The M79 is significant to me because it's the first watch I've been able to buy with funds earned through RUclips. Some of the music featured was generated by Mubert: mubert.com/render

Просмотров 59716 часов назад
In this video I revisit my concept from last week, this time to focus on refined thick watches rather than robust ones, as I felt I was doing them a bit of a disservice suggesting they were only there for durability. Some of the music featured was generated by Mubert: mubert.com/render

The Timex Q Quartz, Still Worth A Look in 2024?
Просмотров 81721 день назад
In this video we take a look at my Timex Q Quartz model to discuss whether or not it's still worth your time considering in 2024 and my experiences with the watch. I've edited this and recorded the audio while overseas on a break, I managed to forget my microphone, and the area I'm in is noisy at all hours of the day, so I can only apologise for the audio quality on this video - I will try and ...
Watch Brand Tier List
Просмотров 2 тыс.Месяц назад
In this video I have a go at ranking watch brands into a tier list. It's purely subjective, and I'm fairly sure there are a few mispronunciations going on in the video for which I apologise. The video features over 70 brands and I'm certainly not an expert in all of them, so feel free to comment if you think I've made mistakes along the way and where you would rank brands instead. If you want t...

Continuing on from the experiment a few weeks ago to try and find the best watches under $100, I've decided to push the envelope a little further, to see if it's possible to still find great watches for less than half that price. Some of the music featured was generated by Mubert: mubert.com/render

Another lower cost option is the Primitive Haus Timekeeper Type A in Twilight Red.
Zelos hammerhead crimson red is awesome…
Heimdallr Monster homage to the Grand Seiko Godzilla @£120 , The San Martin 2024 Year of the Dragon L.E. @£270 and the Knot Urushi Dial at @£470 are all great Red dials I have all three as well as a red dial WG Horology Studio Art Line but that is a piece unique 😎
Fantastic content, as always! While I genuinely appreciate the $1000 cap on your videos, would it be possible to have a video detailing your opinions (not necessarily recommendations) on watches *slightly* above said bracket? Nothing too 'out-there' but possibly the $1000-$3000-ish level? I appreciate that you do not want to alienate your viewers but I do think we would like to hear your take on certain brands and particular models...
Nice one! I love red dials. I own the cocktail time and love it. I also bought a vintage automatic West End watch with a red dial for £120 which runs at +5secs a day!
San Martin SN0129-GC what a miss
It's a great shout but I've featured San Martin GMTs on these lists a few too many times already and there's a review of one on the channel hence the omission ^^.
Red dials look OK but I think a orange dial you can't beat,always enjoy your streams.
You missed the best one of them all. The Seiko Sarx089. These go for about $700 and are a significant step up in quality from the Negroni. The bracelet is fantastic which is unusual for Seiko.
That's interesting, I've always thought the bracelets on these didn't quite colour match properly to the case, but I've never tried one on, does look great though.
Orient Kamasu
Isn't the Bulova Jet Star better than your suggestion?
I really like the cocktail time line, and especially the negroni colourway, and the cocktail as well 😂
The bulova jet star in red is a beautiful watch, plus you get the precisionist quartz movement.
I'm suprised how much I like the Farer. It's the first one by them I actually like. The Certina is a good looking watch too.
That Cosmic 2000 is absolutely gorgeous. Didn't know about the red dial version. In terms of what is missing, I think the deep red Orient diver (never sure if it's the Mako or the Kamasu) is something that a lot of people would include on a list like this.
Great video. I bought the Spinnaker Fluess in Oxblood Red. Slightly too large for my wrist but wearable with a nato strap. More videos please. 👍
Excellent video! One to add to the list is easily the ARAGON DF 40 in white face. Got mine for $185, but alas is now (not surprisingly) Sold Out. Great reviews ~ just subscribed.
I like this one, and also the GM-S2100MF-1A, which has a "Midnight Fog" theme, but is a bit easier to read than the green one. The band is dark grey and translucent. I'm also wearing the GMA-S2100WS-7A at times, in informal settings like on the beach, the shroud and strap are white resin, but the dial is an intense orange/copper colour. It's slightly larger than the GM-S2100 series. The hands contrast well with the dial.
You can find some of the older Victorinox Alliance models online for under $200. It's an amazing value right now
Congrats on the anniversary and 2k subs! 🍾👩🏻🏫⌚
Pretty sure the M79 was more comfortable on the wrist because the Q has already ripped all the hair out!
Purple or turquoise? I am in a dilemma
A true beauty, I love it!
4:22 RM Ferrari 1.75mm got beaten lately, Bulgari take the record back with 1.70mm with Octo Finissimo Ultra COSC, yep and it's COSC certified cherry on top, altough it been shown for the first time in April 2024, this is no April Fool 😅
Well deserved milestone and many more to come! 🎉
Thank you, means a lot, I know you've been following since very early <3
Part of the pleasure of owning a watch with an automatic movement, unlike a quartz, is getting to interact with it on a regular basis by re-setting the time at least weekly. I also feel much more connected to it knowing that it is my own body movement that powers it. There is the added bonus of not having environmentally questionable batteries to dispose of.
Wonderfully said. To add to that, I love the history aspect of it. This is how our ancestors kept track of time. In a world where even clothes are getting 'smart', it's nice to look at something which totally works on springs and gears.
Second hand 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Ridiculous 😂
Congrats on the two milestones. Also, have to say that you made an excellent point that I resonate with, but never really crystalized before. Fascination for a mechanical movement over a quartz comes, at least in part, from the ability to intuitively understand the workings of the former, but only conceptually for the latter.
It took me quite a while to think through and put into words ^^
Your growth on the channel is amazing. Probably in 2 or 3 years you will have 100k. and we'll deserved
I really doubt it'll be anything like that but thanks for the vote of confidence <3
Just saw that I wasn't subbed. I am now. 😄

You deserve more viewers.
Thank you <3
You deserve more
I appreciate the time and effort it takes to continue to put content out there. This is especially true considering the adverse comments you sometimes receive from those that hide behind the anonymity of the internet. I look forward to your reviews and opinions; keep up the good work!
Yes congratulations on hitting 2K subscribers. 🎉🎉 Being an amateur at watch collector, like to get input from various sources. You hit that area of affordable watches and which ones are good. So Thank You for what you have done.
Congratulations and well deserved. I follow over twenty horological RUclips channels and I’m always happy to see when you post a new video as I know it will offer something different, always entertaining and thought provoking. Keep up the great work.
One little sacrifice I've had to make is not watching horological channels myself, just to try and keep my thoughts as original as possible ^^, thanks for the vote of confidence I appreciate it.
Congrats on 2k subscribers! I enjoy your videos 😊
Thank you <3
Great video, congratulations on reaching 2000
Thank you <3
You should have looked at the Titan edge under 4 mm
Hadn't heard of the brand before, had a little looksee and I didn't recognise the currency symbol either. Is it actually an Indian brand? I can't say I've ever seen a single Indian watch brand advertised anywhere in the UK. If you know of any others I'd love to hear some names.
Hello sir, thank you for your content, always entertaining and I love your voice! Quick content question, are you crediting other channels and media when using video or pictures from them? Even when the content is from the brand itself? Trying to figure out where I can source content from Thanks
If you see any video footage of watches taken on my channel that isn't my own it's either from the brands themselves or shops that stock them as promotional material. If a brand wanted me to take any of that down, they have every right to enforce that, but it only spreads their message so it doesn't make much sense logically. International copyright law isn't a thing, and RUclips has it's own checker to pick up on infringements. So you'd need to have a look at what the law is where you live. Some understanding of fair use, transformative content, how much you can use etc tends to be helpful regardless though. While I don't take content from other channels, I have name checked a few every now and again, and where I've used royalty free videos, if it's requested by the author I've linked them in the video description. If anything does get flagged on the channel I just change in response to the requests made, it's quite a straightforward process. I generally think it's always better to use your own footage, but depending on the nature of what you want to make sometimes that just isn't possible. If you made a documentary and used some online images and tried to quote every source, you'd run out of room in the video description very quickly, which is why I think people don't. Have to say though I'm no expert on the subject really, bigger channels that have been going for a lot longer would have a much stronger grasp of things I'm sure.
It's a "Sea-Gull" movement, so it's fine.
The Aquascafe is a tempting chunker, like Megan Thee Stallion......
Got me thinking. Nodus Sector Pilot - Spruce and Xeric Halograph II Limited Edition (Rose Gold).
Thick watches need to be become thinner
What, nothing from Aragon? I feel offended 😒 You should really consider this brand
I've featured them on the channel before I promise!
Great vid. Quick suggestion: when casting your net this wide, maybe title/frame the context as "ten great thick watches under 1k", or something like that. I love these videos as vehicles for highlighting great watches that not everyone would have come across, but you're doing that ay the expense of obvious picks that I know you personally would make (no CW on the list from your God tier? 😉).
Totally understand your preferences, but I disagree for two reasons. His version of the title attracts more viewers and this is ultimately more important to spread the message and create a "community" of like-minded individuals who exchange interesting recommendations as a result. Almost no one expects a top ten to be the final word on a topic, as opposed to YT hyperbole, it's just more exciting than "10 great x". I also enjoy his unusual picks far more than the obvious, it's why I always watch his videos. Don't care much for the box-ticking of some channels.
12mm being classed thick is a bit reductive. If there's no complications, then maybe
Stop being negative about your vid quality - it's great
Need to put Ball on that list. Just like Hamilton, it was originally an American company that moved to Switzerland. Although I don't think they have any watches under a $1000.
Looks great!
I had the larger green version of this watch for a while but it had a negative digital display that was mostly unreadable for my eyes. Nice to get a positive display on this model.
It is a little better I agree, the light on mine is a bit tragic though ^^
