Get a simple Casio digital watch, mine tells me time in HH:MM:SS with the day, and date. You can also set alarms and stopwatch on it and press a button to make it illuminate when you can’t see it when it’s dark
Gene - get yourself a Swatch with SwatchPay. It's just a normal comfortable classic Swatch, but with an NFC payment chip inside. No charging required, but you can still pay from your wrist which will mean even less time getting distracted by your phone. Gamechanger for me!!
7:17 Sony FX30 vs. the Canon R7 does sound like a good video! I'd like to know for sure that the cameras can write video to both SD cards at the same time for backup purposes and if there are any quirks. I'm also curious about efficient codec support at 4k like h.265 hevc, their spec sheets get confusing.)
Hey Gene, I make custom watches. I'd love to make something for ya :) I can engrave Peta's face on the back of the watch, or even the face of the watch lol
Watch recommendation is the Casio F-91W! It's the thinnest low profile Casio watch that's water proof, minimalistic, and pretty cheap. I wear it more than my Apple Watch!
You must get a Casio G(ene) Shock GA 2100 or GA B2100 (Bluetooth and Solar). Has a good reputation in the watch world. It's shock resistant and water resistant upto 200m. Actually, sounds like you. It's priced under $150. You better get one for Kari and Dylan too... ✌️
Gene, I recommend the Casio F91W watch for you. It's cheap (less than $15), it's minimal, and it's functional. Perfect watch for someone like you who doesn't want anything fancy. I have it myself and I can say this is built like a tank. It has time, day, and date. Also, it has a feature that beeps every hour which is a bonus for me since I can easily lost track of the time. Great watch for the price that you'll pay.
My suggestion for watch is the Seiko solar, The advantage of a GPS watch with no charging, and for a reasonable price. I have the titanium edition the reason I bought it is because the perfect pilot watch.
casio f91W-1 are pretty much the lowest profile digital ones you could get. it's pretty indestructible too and to add to that it's hella cheap. you don't get notifications on it tho(if you prefer that one) but the battery lasts forever and it's super light. if you'd prefer a bigger face/ a more robust case, casio offers some sport watches and i've had mine for a little over 5 years now. only had to change the battery once, and had taken that said watch through hell and back. It's cheap too. :)
Bought a G-Shock GBA - 900 recently and it is the best. Durable, inexpensive, comfortable..great for on the go filming etc ..bunch of simple yet effective features. I got like army tan colour but there's a bunch.
For a good watch that isn't bulky and that helps me stay on my schedule and off of my phone....honestly my Apple Watch is about impossible to beat. The smart features and Apple ecosystem integration helps my reminders, calendar and other notifications keep me on track for my day. I use Garmin a lot when I travel for the battery life but it's got some bulk to it.
Hello Gene, longtime viewer first time commenter. Love the videos! What are some tips you have for theft prevention/avoidance? My a7siii got stole recently I didn’t have insurance because I’m in college and couldn’t pay for it, so that wasn’t a route I could take. Much love, stay positive, appreciate the vlogs!
Hi Gene, why not an apple/android watch? If the goal is to be more timely and reach for your phone less....smartwatches can keep you aligned with your calendar, time, and who is calling without reaching for the phone. I've removed notifications from most apps except calendar and phone..that way no distractions.
I would get a g-shock, some of them are pretty basic and won't distract you, they're built extremely tough and can stand up to years of abuse, they have 200m water resistance which means you can scuba dive with it and if you get one that's like the DW-5600 model it's not too bulky.
I’ve had a Casio g shock since 2007 and not had to change the batteries once in if (Casio - GWM500A-1 - G-Shock Chronograph Watch, Solar Atomic, Alarm, 200 Meter) Had it in some really challenging environments, for desert heat to mountain cold. If you want a durable watch.g shock all the way
Get a Seiko 5 SNK model, theyre simple entry level automatics with good lume in the dark and theyre cheap enough that you wont feel bad if it gets beat up. Mix and match different bands to get a custom style too. Seiko is a cool brand, theyve got everything from entry level simple watches to Grand Seiko luxury models that compete with much more expensive names
I have a Casio. Solar powered (the face of the watch is a solar panel). Very light (referring to the weight of the watch) and glows in the dark. I have no idea if this is what you want but for me this watch is great.
Citizen super titanium is one of my next flex budget watches, at one point i collected them, its plain enough that you might only look and see the time, but sleek enough and has a metal band that it might look good, also, any casio or armitron that suite your fancy can be great insanely long lasting watches. PS. fancy watches have to be re-water proofed if you ever change the battery which is extra money.... ask me how I know...
Hey Gene i woud recommend a G-Shock Classic GA-2100 or a Casio Watch GW for a little more oldschool look both are super robust super cheap and i think also good looking
What happened to your Apple Watches? I can suggest Garmin Fenix watches - they have great features for running/hiking and many other sports (like full offline maps), but battery lasts for 2-3 weeks. And you still get your notifications from your phone on your wrist. But if you think it’s too much noise you can also use it just as a watch with heart rate monitoring :)
ever since losing a fancy watch that was a gift from my parents back in highschool. I never bought an "expensive" watch anymore. I'd go for a Casio watch any time, any day.
Aww man this is the second time in a row that Gene stops reading comments right before he gets to my comment 😭😩 Happy that your getting back to the vlogs!
I miss my Herman Miller chair so much. I am still working from home now and I can't afford to buy myself a fancy chair like we had in the office, so I now I sit on a $10 thrift store chair.. But at least I am at home!.. Oh and I wear a Timex Expedition watch. it looks nice and if I destroy it doing something dumb at least it was only like $40.
Get a Casio it'll functionally work the best for you. But once you've completed your house, get yourself a really nice watch. I don't know why watches feels really good for special occasions.
Get a Timex or a Casio, really durable watches. Have used a Timex before which was with me for 10 years before I lost it. Moved to a Casio in 2016 and still using it.
Definitely need more context of what you are looking for in a wristwatch. In terms of power, there are quartz watches that run on tiny "replaceable" batteries, manual wind watches, automatic wind watches, mechanical hacking watches (automatic but can be wound manually also), solar powered watches, and finally rechargeable watches. Quartz watches (Citizen, Casio, Seiko Quartz, Timex) are usually the cheapest but also the most accurate, if you only need it to tell time and can have the battery replaced by a professional every few years. The mechanical watches (manual, auto, and hacking) need to be wound or worn daily but are more desirable. If you forget, you have to set the time again and wind it. Basically every expensive watch is going to be in this category but there are more reasonably priced options. I have had the Hamilton Khaki King since 2015 and still wear it daily. Citizen Eco-Drive, Seiko Solar, Timex Solar, and Casio all make solar powered watches - don't stow these in a drawer or they will be permanently dead. Rechargeable watches will usually be also a fitness tracker or a smart watch. Withings makes a fitness tracking watch that is styled more like a classic analog watch if owning an Apple watch might be too distracting for you. Garmin fenix is common to see on triathletes and such. I believe fitbits have the time on them as well. In terms of styles there are dive watches, pilot watches, field watches, bauhaus, chronographs (Omega Speedmaster was worn on the moon), dress watches, GMT, and digital. Hope this wasn't too long winded and confusing.

First of all I’m a big Apple fanboy, with that said that I would say that the Apple Watch ultra is by far one of my best investment (in myself) I’ve done in a very long time. It does not really fit you category of being not bulky which is one downside perhaps but I personally have never felt like it’s in the way and it is definitely not as “HUGE” as some might make you believe. Being able to leave my phone at home or tucked away when I’m working, tracking my sleep (have always had bad sleep) and my training, having my todo list for the day on the wrist and so much more make it worth every penny in my opinion. It helps me be a better version of me in short and that is not even a slight exaggeration! (Btw also has ADHD and is a med student so being productive is a have to for me and it is always hard but my Apple Watch makes is much easier I feel like). I have had an Apple Watch since the first one and the Ultra is my third one (had series 5 LTE before) but the value I get out of it compared to my last one is not even comparable!! Oh last thing, you can almost not destroy it and I kid you not on that part!! Just watch this video and you’ll understand what I mean ruclips.net/video/A72Ckh990j0/видео.html
I really recommend the xiaomi mi band, it's not super expensive, you can customise your notifications for only things that are time-sensitive(/important) and apart from being a watch, it's also an activity tracker. (I have a similar band from samsung, it's perfect for me because it's small and light enough that i forget it's on my hand and I can go about my daily tasks without hinderance, I'm not suggesting the one I have cos they no longer make them anymore)
Get a simple Casio digital watch, mine tells me time in HH:MM:SS with the day, and date. You can also set alarms and stopwatch on it and press a button to make it illuminate when you can’t see it when it’s dark
Bought a Casio F-91 W as a beater watch just to replace if it breaks because they’re so cheap, but it’s still running great after 5 years.
Casio DW-5600BBN. Looks good and it's indestructible
I highly recommend the Garmin Instinct! Long lasting battery, waterproof, and can take a beating! Perfect for you!!
Literally crying/laughing watching the roller coaster skeleton scene! 😂
Gene - get yourself a Swatch with SwatchPay. It's just a normal comfortable classic Swatch, but with an NFC payment chip inside. No charging required, but you can still pay from your wrist which will mean even less time getting distracted by your phone. Gamechanger for me!!
Love the garmin fenix linup! its a super watch if you are verry active and want loads of data of your daily life!
7:17 Sony FX30 vs. the Canon R7 does sound like a good video! I'd like to know for sure that the cameras can write video to both SD cards at the same time for backup purposes and if there are any quirks. I'm also curious about efficient codec support at 4k like h.265 hevc, their spec sheets get confusing.)
Garmin Instinct pretty awesome watch, very rugged, basic, just the right amount of smart you need in a watch!
Hey Gene, I make custom watches. I'd love to make something for ya :)
I can engrave Peta's face on the back of the watch, or even the face of the watch lol
TIMEX makes GREAT watches. They take a kicken and keep on tickin. All the TIMEX’s I’ve ever used have lasted forever.
Yes, a Sam update would be good. And Gene, your are crazy putting that FX30 on a drone.
G Shocks are a great watch. Tough and accurate
yOU are A MADMAN and I love you!
You should try a G-shock 5610. I've had one for a few years and it's great. Solar and receives satellite signal to adjust the time automatically.
For the watch, go for the Casio G-Shock GBD-200. Sturdy, cool, bit of tech but not too much to disturb and sports functions.
Have been having the Casio with solar cell for 20 years now. I wouldn’t exchange it for anything especially the “smart” watches.
Fun! I’ve put lego dudes and toy pterodactyls on my drones but the giant scissors were halarious.
Definitely love to watch the best video setting for fx30!
I appreciate your videos. Thank you Gene
Miss the daily clips. reminds me of the year of vlogging
Skeleton: I AM CORNHOLIO!
Regarding the FX30 Vs R7, if you HAD to choose one to shoot with forever over the other, which would you choose and why?
Casio F91w - the only watch that matters.
Watch recommendation is the Casio F-91W! It's the thinnest low profile Casio watch that's water proof, minimalistic, and pretty cheap. I wear it more than my Apple Watch!
You must get a Casio G(ene) Shock GA 2100 or GA B2100 (Bluetooth and Solar). Has a good reputation in the watch world.
It's shock resistant and water resistant upto 200m. Actually, sounds like you.
It's priced under $150.
You better get one for Kari and Dylan too...
✌️

If you want a no frills watch check out the suunto core, it’s a good watch.
Garmin Instinct
Bought a G-Shock GBA - 900 recently and it is the best. Durable, inexpensive, comfortable..great for on the go filming etc ..bunch of simple yet effective features. I got like army tan colour but there's a bunch.

the watch that I have Tissot Chronograph for work is Tissot SEASTAR... and a good watch channel is Teddy Baldassarre
Casio digital watch is nice, I've been using mine for 7years without replacing battery. It's cheaper to buy new casino watch than replacing battery
5.1.1 has some nice rugged watches
A really good watch I would say fits you would be the nixon regulus. It's a great watch, Imagine a casio but on steroids!
Hello Gene, longtime viewer first time commenter. Love the videos! What are some tips you have for theft prevention/avoidance? My a7siii got stole recently I didn’t have insurance because I’m in college and couldn’t pay for it, so that wasn’t a route I could take. Much love, stay positive, appreciate the vlogs!

I've removed notifications from most apps except calendar and phone..that way no distractions.
Chris Rosser is dying watching these oscillations..
Kari where you guys been damn it...
If you don't want a smart watch, I really like Skagen watches. They are slick, and I get the slim style so it doesnt stick out a lot.
Which is better for cinematography? FX30 or R7
I'm here for this
I think when you first put the 360 on the front of the drone it looked like something from star wars
I would get a g-shock, some of them are pretty basic and won't distract you, they're built extremely tough and can stand up to years of abuse, they have 200m water resistance which means you can scuba dive with it and if you get one that's like the DW-5600 model it's not too bulky.
When I first seen this, I really thought it was going to be stupid.
You didn't disappoint.
Great stuff! 🤣🤣🤣
Hi in what drones do you fly with dji fpv remote and what with tango?
The high five
Quick impressions on the FX30? As a beginning filmmaker, I'm loving the process of learning on it.
Is the fx30 stabilized using Sony's stabilization program or built in? Does it help?
As for a watch, good old Casio G-Shock!!
Best thumbnail
I think you should be made an honorary member of the Society for Putting Things on Top of Other Things.
I’ve had a Casio g shock since 2007 and not had to change the batteries once in if (Casio - GWM500A-1 - G-Shock Chronograph Watch, Solar Atomic, Alarm, 200 Meter)
Had it in some really challenging environments, for desert heat to mountain cold.
If you want a durable watch.g shock all the way
Get a Seiko 5 SNK model, theyre simple entry level automatics with good lume in the dark and theyre cheap enough that you wont feel bad if it gets beat up.

I have a Casio. Solar powered (the face of the watch is a solar panel). Very light (referring to the weight of the watch) and glows in the dark. I have no idea if this is what you want but for me this watch is great.
I’m actually considering buying a R7. My question is: Should I buy it or save up a little longer and buy something like a R6?
G-Shocks are great!
I was always curious how does a skeleton look like on a flying scissors. So thanks for that Gene!
By the way buy a Seiko!
Do they still make swatches?
Get a withings scanwatch and turn off all notifications, can still track hikes, runs and bikerides, looks fancy and has like a two week battery life
Citizen super titanium is one of my next flex budget watches, at one point i collected them, its plain enough that you might only look and see the time, but sleek enough and has a metal band that it might look good, also, any casio or armitron that suite your fancy can be great insanely long lasting watches. PS. fancy watches have to be re-water proofed if you ever change the battery which is extra money.... ask me how I know...
It might look a bit bulky, but I love my Casio G-Shock GA700, and it’s super affordable.
Apple Watch ultra!! Make a video about it!
Also love the content keep it up!!
Gshock, any gshock. True, most are big and bulky, but they are some smaller ones too.
G-shocks will probably be your best bet as I'm sure many others have said haha
I'd love the R6mkII instead of the R7 😁
Hey Gene i woud recommend a G-Shock Classic GA-2100 or a Casio Watch GW for a little more oldschool look both are super robust super cheap and i think also good looking
Good to see you doing well, Gene! I think a proper Apple Watch would do you good.
Hey Gene here is my watch suggestion! casio efb108d-1av I don't have one but I've been looking for a watch for a long time and this is my favorite.
Why do I really want to see Sam’s bird watching show now 😂
i would recommend to get Apple watch (nice to have the fitness rings) with screen protector or any watch with Sapphire glass so they won't scratch 😁
What happened to your Apple Watches?
I can suggest Garmin Fenix watches - they have great features for running/hiking and many other sports (like full offline maps), but battery lasts for 2-3 weeks. And you still get your notifications from your phone on your wrist. But if you think it’s too much noise you can also use it just as a watch with heart rate monitoring :)
Thank you fake Gene, but I don't need anything, so I forfeit the prize
ever since losing a fancy watch that was a gift from my parents back in highschool. I never bought an "expensive" watch anymore. I'd go for a Casio watch any time, any day.
Santa Clarita?
Ya done need a watch Gene. Look at the light, you know what time it is give or take 5 minutes.
About the watch, get a Gshock GG-B100 !
Aww man this is the second time in a row that Gene stops reading comments right before he gets to my comment 😭😩
Happy that your getting back to the vlogs!
Any seiko gshocks? Hit up Pete!
I'm surprised you didn't attach a house to the drone. Sequel to Up.
Such a fun day
A swatch, they aren’t too expensive but good at telling time.
Casio F-91W, low profile, durable, cheap, nice looking and iconic watch. Bin Laden used to have one too ;)
You look like classic Casio watch user)
Clasic models are slim and cool looking
garmin fenix
G Shock all the way for something super durable that wont break the bank and something you can beat up. The DW5600E-1V would be great for you
I'm still waiting for the Film Club discussion for Anand! 🙂
Casio Edifice - cheap price, well made, doesn't look like a toy.
I miss my Herman Miller chair so much. I am still working from home now and I can't afford to buy myself a fancy chair like we had in the office, so I now I sit on a $10 thrift store chair.. But at least I am at home!.. Oh and I wear a Timex Expedition watch. it looks nice and if I destroy it doing something dumb at least it was only like $40.
Get a Casio it'll functionally work the best for you. But once you've completed your house, get yourself a really nice watch. I don't know why watches feels really good for special occasions.
Amazfit makes reasonable smart watches, but you can restrict what notifications pop up. Stylish at a good price.
how many kids did you scare away with the flying skeleton?
Either a f91w or a ga-2100
Get a nice simple Seiko 5 automatic - nice, but not too nice. Or an Orient Bambino - can’t go wrong with either
Get a Timex or a Casio, really durable watches. Have used a Timex before which was with me for 10 years before I lost it. Moved to a Casio in 2016 and still using it.
Casio G-SHOCK all the way! So many colors and styles, and rugged + sturdy. That's all I wear!!!!!

As a youtuber who is trying to grow a production company and the RUclips channel. Which one should I buy?
fossil watches, they make smart ones too.
Casio make very cheap and decent watches, most are waterproof as well. (edit: they';re small and light as well)
I really recommend the xiaomi mi band, it's not super expensive, you can customise your notifications for only things that are time-sensitive(/important) and apart from being a watch, it's also an activity tracker.
(I have a similar band from samsung, it's perfect for me because it's small and light enough that i forget it's on my hand and I can go about my daily tasks without hinderance, I'm not suggesting the one I have cos they no longer make them anymore)
