Why havent you made a video on ae1500 yet ,please do it soon.
I have the same watch sgw-100 I've had it for about a decade or so now and I can tell you one thing I enjoy it and no you cannot beat the price
You really can't beat the price! You get so many features for your money and it can take a pretty good beating too! Thanks so much for watching and for leaving a comment.
Weren’t they available earlier ? I remember seeing bracelet option on Amazon while I was ordering mine ($49 strap version)
the 5610u is my favorite gshock, had the Rangeman and its huge
I really do like the 5610. I figure if someone is stuck between the dw5600 and the gwm5610, 8 say go with the 5610. It costs a bit more, but you get a lot more too! That Rangeman is such an awesome looking watch, I can imagine it must be huge on wrist! Thanks so much for watching and for your comment!
I dived into automatics and honestly got tired of all being the same besides materials and colors, and needing to be winded since I do not wear them much. I am going back to quartz, since they are a set it and forget it adjustment type. The accuracy of the cheapest and worst quartz accuracy performer in my "collection" is so far ahead of the best automatic, no joke! 24 seconds behind on the quartz vs 2.40 min ahead after 1 month on the automatic.
Quartz does offer you much better accuracy and the ability to grab and go and set and forget (for the most part) . I have several quartz and auto/mechanical watches and I can't seem to decide which I prefer. The High precision quartz watches however are very nice, like the Longines VHP line. Thanks so much for watching and leaving a comment!
@@infinitekronos Was looking for the VHP but is hard to find a new one. I started to gravitate back to quartz since I am a function over form kind of guy and cant be without timer, hourly beep and indiglo/light like in timex/casio. Oceanus are great i see!
I absolutely love Casio's and of G-shock and Oceanus! I found some new Longines VHP watches on Jomashop.
Great watch, very legible, the lume/ingiblo is great and its also extremely accurate
Thanks so much for watching! Yes, I really do like my Timex expedition. It really is super, super easy to read! I also like the indiglo backlight. Overall, for around $50 you can't beat this watch! Thanks again!
@@infinitekronos You got a sub, I like videos like this since the whole internet went on the "luxury" binge and kind of dived into it and realize its just the same with different materials and colors, like Rolex, lol
Another great video!
Thanks so much for watching! I'm glad you enjoyed it. I really appreciate your support. :)
I got a lot of Casio watches, including about 15 or so G-Shocks, but my mostly worn and favorite is the W-736H. The W-202 should have made it to your list, it's about the size of a F-91W but with the exact same features as a DW-5600E. I'll get a WS-1700 when prices are going south during cyber week, not that I need it but I like the bad ass military look, especially in the tan/coyote color.
Thanks for the recommendation on the WS-202. I did check it out and it look really nice. That WS-1700 is so cool looking with the two tone look of the desert tan and black. It is so cool! Thanks for watching and for the comment! I really appreciate the support!
My Casio collection has crossed 50 ( just stating the fact with no other intention 😉) Some of my favorites from my collection which weren’t in this list (with the prices I paid for brand new ones in India): AW-90, MTP-V005, AE-1000/1100/1500 ($20 or less) MTP-VC01D (under $40) MTD-125/130 (under $70) G-Shocks - AW-500, G7700, GD350/400 (under $70) G-Squads - GBA-800, GBD-200 ($90) Edifices - EFR526L, EFR-S108D (under $90) And my all time favorite Casio - AE3000 (imported for $80)
Wow! You have really amazing Casio's. I was looking at them before I responded and I have to say they are really nice! I can see why the AE3000 is your favorite. It is so incredible! I also really liked your AE1100. I have the ae1000 too! Nice watch but the back light is terrible on mine. I love the edifice series also! Great collection you have! Thanks for watching and letting us know about your collection. I really appreciate it. Now, I know the next Casio's I can go get!!
My favourite is the ae1500 for visibility
That AE1500 has a really large display for sure! You can't miss seeing it! Thanks so much for watching and for letting me know your favorite Casio. I do appreciate it!
Nice and concise review. As a cheapo watch collector (I have about 20 ranging from £5 to £200, plus a couple up to £1000) I watch many review channels. I like your style (video, not clothes!). Subbed.
Thanks for watching and for subscribing! I appreciate your comment about my delivery of the content. I like to keep things relaxed and not too formal. Like you are watching a regular person. Thank again for watching, I appreciate it!!
Picked up this watch at a pawnshop 10.00. Stoped later. Replaced the battery and gave it a little tuneup. Added a black nato strap I had in stock and wow, love it. Thank you for this content.
I'm so glad you enjoyed it. I did the same with mine. I changed out the strap and it really gives it such a different look! If you like Casio's, I'm finishing up my next video on 10 Casio's for under $100. Should be out later this weekend or early next week. Thanks so much for watching and for your comment. I really appreciate the support!
I've considered buying this about 10 yrs ago but felt it's missing something. I was not really too excited then until recently I got into the nato strap rabbit hole and I need something as rugged and inexpensive that I could take it anywhere so I recently purchased it, and man was it goegeous! It's been my daily, 2 mos old, it also looks good on my 6.5in wrist. It looks like a military watch on nato. I really love it as much as my more expensive watches.
It really is such a great watch. I've had mine now for almost a year and I don't think I'll get tired of it! The lume is really good, the overall l design is fantastic! The only problem I've got with the watch is the compass moving around because it runs bs against my wrist. I really wonder if that could have been designed differently. Other than that, I have no complaints at all! Thanks for watching and for your support. I really appreciate it!
Shitters all
Nostalgia: I have none, by the time they became affordable I was in college and had other toys. I still have a bunch of Casio watches... The F91W for instance does not do much for me, I like watches with more complications/functions, as long as they don't go into smartwatch territory, I hate being interrupted when I'm working on something.
I so agree with you on the F-91w. When I was in school it was the Casio calculator watch and the watch that played its version of space invaders. Thanks for watching and for leaving a comment.
Nostalgia nothing,they're simply brilliant and that's that
I absolutely agree! Thanks for watching!
I own the blue dial and blue bezel SKZ209J1It’s one of my favorite Seiko’s I own . This should of been in the Prospex line .
I've been looking at getting an SKX. You get so much watch for the money. Yeah , I can totally agree. It should have been in the prospex line. Thanks for watching and for your comment! Appreciate the support!
It’s a shitter
@@infinitekronos I edited my comment . I initially wrote SKX209J1 but I corrected my it . I was referring to my SKZ209J1 blue dial and blue bezel Land Shark 🦈. It’s such an amazing and unique watch .
Big Orient fan. Built 4 of them with strap/bracelet bezel and sapphire crystal upgrades and I get tons of compliments on them!
Nice! I bet they look fantastic! I've got my eye on that anniversary Mako they have. Looks so nice!! Thanks for watching! Take care!
COULD YOU PLEASE INTRODUCE OLYMPIA STAR, OLYMPIANUS WATCHES AND CASIO, THEY ARE AFFORDABLE, GOOD DESIGNS AND UNIQUE WATCHES, THANKS
Yes absolutely! I am working on one now for Casio watches. It's mainly Casio and only one G-SHOCK. Hope you will enjoy it!
OH MY GOODNESS I LIKE THIS GUY, EVEN THOUGH HE IS NOT HANDSOME HAHAHA, BUT I LIKE THE WAY HE SPEAKS NOT TO FAST AND NOT TOO SLOW, VERY CLEAR AND PRECISE SPEAKS, I LIKE HE INTRODUCED ALL OF THE WATCHES, GOOD WORK MY FRIEND, JESUS LOVES YOU SO MUCH
Thank you so much for your generous compliments and thank you for watching! Glad you found it useful and informative!
Are you mental, looks nothing like the Grand Seiko in any way possible. Nothing about it looks like it. I’ve seen it all know. 😂
I think to the average person who may not know the finer details of watches it does have that look to it. Again, those are my thoughts. As to my mental state, I can assure you I am fully coherent. :) . To each their own I say. Thanks for your thoughts and for watching.
@@infinitekronosmaybe Stevie Wonder!
LoL!!
I always considered it an exploring all -a-rounder… a brutalist Alpinist of sorts! Fun Fact - it’s the first ever Seiko 5 to have 200m WR.
It really is like an alpinist on steroids!! That is so cool that it's the first Seiko 5 with 200m WR!! Now I really love even more than I already did!! Thanks so much for watching and for leaving a comment! I really appreciate the support! Take care!
The Land-Squark (Atlas) I believe came out in 2005.
Thanks for that information! I found that after some digging around, that I got three different dates. 2005, 2010 and 2012. It's rather interesting really. Thanks for watching and for your comment. I do appreciate your support! Take care!
@@infinitekronos You're welcome, this watch deserves attention, good job.
Awesome video!
Thanks so much for watching!! Glad you enjoyed the video!
great video, `here in Spain seiko 5 prices are just too much
That's too bad about the prices being so high. I would think for a Seiko 5 you would expect a better price. Thanks for watching and for your comment. I really appreciate it!
Good review; however, the movement is the Seiko 7S36.
Yes, correct. My bad. The 26 was date only. Thanks so much for watching and for commenting! I really appreciate it. :)
@@infinitekronos The 7S26 is also day/date. The difference is that the 7S36 has two extra jewels and they are more concave vs 7S26 (perhaps for better shock resistance?). I look forward to more videos from you.
Thanks for the additional information and for your support! I'm looking forward to making more videos to share with you all. Take care !
don't buy this watch. the movement is not as advertised. the GMT hands do not work properly and when you try to close the crown it does not "de-engage" to screw in . so the hour hands and minutes keep moving. so not able to set up the time properly.....
Sorry to hear you are having issues with the movement. So, I'm not 100% sure I understand what you are encountering. The movement is a Seiko NH34 which is a caller or office GMT. Sounds like maybe the movement might be stripped. I would contact Boderry about a replacement. Thanks for watching.
What would you recommend for first watch dress, or divers? I personally cant decide haha
That is such a good question. For first dress watch, I'd say the Orient Bambino Gen 2 (Cream dial). The cream dial I think really adds a vintage look to it. Especially with those Roman numerals. As for dive watches, I'd personally go with the Citizen Promaster Diver. Citizen is really known for their dive watches. Now, if budget is a concern with dive watches, and you don't care about ISO certifications, then the Orient Kamasu or for even less than the Kamasu, check out the Orient Mako(the non chronograph model) also a great first dive watch. Now, if you really want a very, very inexpensive dive watch and you don't mind quartz, the Casio MDV-106( the Duro) is hands down the best dive watch for under $100. I did a full review on it, if you are interested. Thanks so much for watching!! Sorry for the long reply!
Orient are great watches .
They sure are and they look super nice and are very inexpensive too!! Thanks for watching and for leaving a comment!
Another great video! Thanks!
Thank you so much for watching!! You are so appreciated!!
Could you please do a review of SEIKO SPB 453 SIR THANKS❤😊
That is a beautiful watch! The 1965 Heritage Diver is absolutely awesome! I will definitely consider a video about the watch. Thanks for watching and for the suggestion!! I really appreciate it
The new spb has an much improved movement, bracelet, clasp. It also is an amazing looking watch, I've got the spb297 which is a143 with a different dial, beautiful watch got it for half price and couldn't be happier except the movement is trash, +25 a day. If you did a comparison with the old and new you would get Alot of views. I've just subscribed and many people would, I know it's quite expensive at £1100 but well worth the money
@@Andy-ys8sj thanks so much for the recommendation comparing the two. It does sound like that would be really interesting. Overall, the spb does look like a absolutely beautiful timepiece! Maybe I need to give it a second look. Who knows. Thanks for watching and for your comment!! Take care!
I haven’t paid more than $100 for any of my 40 Casios including Duro, MTD130, MTD125, EVV140D etc. Surprised not to see a Casio in this list.
I plan on devoting an episode to Casio's in that price range. Thanks so much for watching and for commenting.
@@infinitekronos Looking forward to it !
Instead of the captain Willard played by Martin Sheen we should call this watch the Charlie Sheen it kind of looks like it but it's not quite the same and it's not quite as old🤣 or we can call it the Chris Taylor as it was Charlie Sheen's character's name in platoon
I love the references! Maybe they can come up with one for Emilio Estevez. It's a pretty good homage to be honest and the darnn thing is built like a tank. Lune is much better than other watches. Thanks for watching.
@@infinitekronos I just ordered the sterile version without the logos it should be here on Tuesday from Amazon
Ive owned the cream watch for a month now. Love it. I like your review style. Subbed. Hi from New Zealand
Hello and thank you watching and for subscribing! I do love that cream dial, l felt like I had more options for straps with that color. Not sure if that was your reason as well, but the overall look to me is really stunning! Take care and thanks again for watching! I really appreciate your support!
That Steelflier is sweet.
It really is right!?! I think it really well done. Thanks for watching and for the comment! I really appreciate it.
@@infinitekronos hopefully. Mine will be here in 4 more days.
The anticipation is brutal I imagine. Hope you get plenty of use out of that watch!
@@infinitekronos yes. The wait is always the worst part.
@@GunGuy258Hey how is the watch? Can you give a quick review?
Man i got 4 san Martins Friday. One is the red desert dial. Im excited to see them in person.
Wow! Four!? Which other ones did you pick up if you don't mind me asking? I really need to get on the ball and at least get one so I can finally see what all the great comments about San Martin are all about! Thanks for watching and for leaving a comment! Based on everything I've heard about San Martin, you should be pretty happy with them! Enjoy!
@infinitekronos the SN0118 blue and orange. SN0017 g b ghost. SN0128 G3 brown. I used my RUclips money. I was only getting 2 but I ended up doing 3 separate orders to use the most coupons. Like 750 for all 4 but I won't buy anything else till like November.
Wow! I just checked them out and they all look just super nice!! Thanks for sharing! Enjoy!!
You missed the Hroudland F016, best watch on ali, regardless of price.
Thank you for letting me know about this brand. I did a quick look on AliExpress and I must say it is a really nice looking flieger watch, and I really think that the use of a turbine for the small seconds at the six o'clock position is a really interesting combination of old and new elements of aviation. Also, I like the departure from using the NH35 movement and using a seagull instead. Most seagulls are reproductions of other movements, in this case it's the ETA 6497. It's also really affordable at $138! Thanks again for the suggestion and for watching! I really appreciate it!
SanMartin is noticeably better quality than Pagani Design.
I have heard that many times from many people. I really think I may pick up their new SN066 or their SN026. I really do need to get one. Thanks so much for watching and for leaving a comment! Appreciate it!
The name is so "funny" because if it has a distince group of numbers or letters that will then IDENTIFY the item allowing us, the buying public to locate and purchase said item. I can't believe I had to lay that out for you.
I don't have an issue with reference numbers as a method of identification, but why not give the watch a name as well? Rolex or Omega have their names right on the dial (Explorer, Speedmaster) along with a reference number. I feel just having a reference number only feels a bit hollow. Just my two cents. Thanks for watching and for leaving a comment. I really appreciate it.
Can you compare the San Martin SN017, SN019, SN084, SN0111 ? What's the difference? Which is the newest? Which is the best?
Thanks for watching. So from what I recall the SN017 and the SN019 are both submariner homages, the sn017 is powered by the NH35 and the sn019 is powered by the PT5000, the SN084 is a sub homage powered by the NH35 but with 60 bar water resistance with a helium release valve. The SN111 is a 300 m dive watch that has either Mercedes hour hand or broadsword hands. It is also powered by the NH35. As to which is best really depends on what you like. Pretty much all San Martin watches are very well built and finished. Thanks for watching! Appreciate your comment!
Another great video! You are so funny!
Thanks so much for your kind words and support!!! I really do appreciate it!
I am planning on buying this watch it seems great
For the price, you get a really great watch with a lot of functionally! Thanks for watching! Really appreciate the support!
My only problem is I have really big rush. I’m afraid of buying a wash like this is finding out it won’t fit and there’s no way to get it any bigger.
Yeah good point! I was thinking of maybe putting mine on a different bracelet or strap at some point. Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the video. Since Seiko released the NH34, there are so many great GMT options. From Tandorio, Pagani Design and the many other AE brands, to the mid and upper level microbrands, we literally have a hundred to choose from. Some are great bargains. Cheers!!!!
We sure do! Now, I wish the Miyota 9015 true GMT movement would become more affordable, then we would have even more options. Thanks for watching!
