Love the GA-2100 casioak. Always loved Casios since I was a kid. I was made up when my folks got me the Casio F91W. Fun fact: Eminem wears a G Shock watch.
Highly appreciate seeing Nico finally talk positive and passionately about watches that aren’t several thousands of pounds and completely unattainable for most of the people,watching. Hearing him talk about watches that are a couple hundred is a lovely thing to see for a product that’s so often associated with snobs.
It’s a good plan to start a watch channel. Start with reactions to big names, people get pulled in, they enjoy without knowing about watches. They stick around, learn a bit, and then Nico strikes with actual content about watches.
To be fair, man runs a luxury watch joint selling used watches, he's going to talk a lot about the watches that retain value which usually are of the unattainable for most kind.
Wife got me a Zodiac Super Seawolf for my 30th birthday and I absolutely love it. My first Swiss watch and just love how striking looks and love their history. Glad to see Zodiac mentioned.
I freaking love nico I’m not financially stable enough for most of the watches but he has sparked my love for watches and the budget series has helped me start a collection of watches that I love thanks so much for the series and I love your videos
How sad London has become, when you are actually joking about getting robbed of watches you worked hard to buy and can wear except in your kitchen cooking so sooo sooo 😢
I'm indecisive on choosing the prx powermatic and the gentleman powermatic. Both similarly priced and I can only choose 1 from this brand into my collection. Which is the one to go?
The quartz in my opinion is the perfect watch for a low-cost option. Amazing looking dials, and 35mm and 40mm options. The fit and finish for £290 is incredible. In fact I’m gonna put mine on now, hah.
Dude this is the video that I’ve been waiting and wanting from you guys! No hype pieces or expensive price tags, just a good explainer and why you like them, it’s class
Saw this video as soon as it was posted. The Tissot PRX Midnight Sky looked amazing and I was happy that it was still in stock, bought one immediately. Just literally over 12hrs later its completely sold out!!! Thanks Nico!!!
Is London really getting that bad?? Last month I watched a TikTok where the London Patek store made a guy leave the store with his watch box in a Whole Foods bag!?!
Been bad for a few years. All my friends there stopped wearing watches. Everybody loves to get there anti-America rants out - but only a few cases here. Daily event in London, even walking down Oxford minding your own business.
@@WestCoastAce27 That sucks... 5 years ago I was in London riding the tube wearing a Rolex Datejust 2 and could clearly hear a guy talking to his girlfriend about mugging me LOL I booked it off the busiest stop as fast as I could and looped back around! Today I have a gold Daydate 40 and maybe I just keep it at home in safe, safe Canada my next trip lol!!
Nice to see the 1926 getting its come-uppance. It's a good piece and a compelling value under $2k. Wear mine when I don't want to draw attention, but still want to enjoy what's on the wrist.
100%, I went into Tudor AD to look at a Black Bay, but had my head turned by the 1926 because it is such a timeless design. BB will probably look dated in 20 - 30 years, the 1926 will still look solid in 50 years.
@@marsmanic1666 the only problem with the watch (I own one) is the bracelet lacks micro adjustments, I had to put it on a leather strap as it was either cutting off my circulation or banging around too loose
Absolutely nailed it with the #1 watch on the list. Literally can't go wrong with it. It's affordable, durable, and will look good with about everything
Never got why Nico hates Grand Seiko so much. Yeah they have way too many watches and their prices are all over. But the watches clearly attract people once you get one on your wrist, plus they are not losing as much value on the pre-owned market as before (as long as you get a normal one)
If you're wondering why the Oris made 3000 Big Crown Roberto Clementes, that's because Roberto Clemente finished his baseball career with exactly 3000 hits. Only 33 players in MLB history have at least 3000 hits.
Just wanted to say that I ordered my dream watch. Last weekend I ordered a Rolex datejust 41 with the rose gold jubilee bracelet and the Wimbledon dial. I literally dreamed about this watch and now that I have the financial resources to buy one I really did it. That's also thanks to you my man. When my mom died I fell Into a hole I could not climb out for over a year. That's when I started to watch your videos and I thought like "my goodness there are really people out there who can afford to spend thousands and thousands of dollars on something like a watch while I can't afford my next bottle of vodka and something to smoke. That's when I knew I have to get a good payed job in order to live life to the fullest and buy myself something like this. I got to the doc and he gave me medicine so I can regulate my sleep rhythm again. It mostly killed of my emotions and empathy for others. But I was able to get up again, I broke ties with most of my friends cause they were bad influence for me, dragged me down telling me I can't reach anything. Anyway I'm 24 now and if it weren't for you, I wouldnt be alive right now. I'm not joking or anything, the drugs and the alcohol wouldve allready killed me. I got so far that I allready thinking about buying a house for myself. I'm really grateful and I wish you only the best my man. Keep up with your content, I belive there are still people like me you help with your content even If you may dont realize it. BTW I know my English is not the best but to defend myself : English is not my mother tongue.
As someone who lives in a country where anything shiny on the wrist catches the eyes of robbers, I feel like the only safe option here, really, is the G-Shock HAHAHA. Or most budget Casios, for that matter. Truly God-tier.
Your videos make me want to wear a watch again. I used to wear one daily, but I stopped due to work. My watches aren't anything to drool over, but I enjoy them.
I’ve owned a couple Tissot PRC 200’s over the years and I loved that watch. I had a black face and blue face. For around $500 they are a reasonably priced watch and they feel really good on your wrist.
I bought my Tissot Gentleman 80 a few months ago after watching Nico, love it. Get complimented, it's comfy, it's pretty. Price don't matter when quality and looks are there.
maybe im watching nico to much, but im actually developing such fond memories of watching him freak out over hublot that i kind of want one now because it brings a smile to my face.
Just before watching this video I noticed "Limited Edition" on my Seiko 5. When you said 3000 pieces isn't all that limited, I thought why not search how many pieces were made of the one I have. 11000. Might as well not say limited edition, but hey, never seen anybody with the same watch lol.
I think I got it being into firearms more than watches. Casio is the highpoint of watches. Which makes them god tier. Can not break them and they always just work. Also affordable enough that everyone can own it.
I wear my Rolex sports watches on an Everest rubber strap whenever I travel and absolutely nobody seems to notice I'm wearing a Rolex. I think that the first thing a thief notices is the bracelet, especially the ones with polished centre links. I've worn them in all the 'hotspots' like London, Naples, Milan, Rome and Barcelona and never had a problem so far.......fingers crossed!
Exactly what i've noticed when I was test driving my uncles hand grenade Aquanaut, only one person noticed it and he was at a restaurant driving a GT3, so clearly he knows something 😂
May I know the exact model of Rolex? I like the idea of still being able to wear a Rolex but not get robbed but I don't think, perhaps, a Bluesy, could get away unnoticed.
Love this video, finally you are talking about micro brands the didn't see the light that also has amazing build quality, I would love you to do a top 10 in different categories, like top 10 divers, dress, ext.... (affordable and not get robbed watches).
Can I just say that Nico has made me really interested in watches and I have started my own watch collection 😊 1 regal 1 omega seamaster 300 and 1 Hamilton American Classic Jazzmaster
Worked with Seiko's for a little bit, the name for watch Nr 8 comes from the fact that it was designed with inspiration from the workers of the Star Bar, a bar located just next to the Seiko Factory! and that's hinted at with the second hand mimicking a cocktail stirrer stick, yeah Nico it's green not poo brown.
bububuut look at the sweeping second hand. LOL. the only people enjoying a GS is the person who bought it. i know, my broke ass would like to have one spring drive watch, but not a GS, but the prospex LX gundam edition.
Im thinking of getting the IFL watch PRX. However, im not really a fan of quartz movements. But im in love with the design of the IFLW. Should I get the PRX powermatic 80, or the IFL PRX?
Living in london the only watch i wear daily is my citizen automatic i paid half the rrp for (£190) on ebay..I have an omega seamaster and a rolex sub but they don’t leave the house unless I’m going to a function or somewhere special…the violent mugging situation is a lot worse than what the press make out,

Wow!!! Never thought I would hear Nico talk about Zodiac. Absolutely love Zodiac. Check out the "Worn and Wound" edition of the Super Sea Wolf. Crazy 90's vibe to it but love it
Nico leonard is fully responsible for my becoming a watch collector. Im poor so watches like AP, rolex, patek and A lange & sohne will for ever be dream watches to me. But i love your videos and especially the ones like this because i can afford some of these. In fact my next watch im saving for is this Hamilton american classic. I love your videos and just wanted to say thank you for opening the world of watch collecting to me, im hooked.
I was feeling nervous almost all the way through the video from the lack of Casio, but you really made up for it with putting that ABSOLUTE GODLIKE BEAST OF A WATCH in the number 1 spot. Truly the best of the best, I have the all-black new solar powered B2100 model :)
I just brought G-shock GM-2100 BB and looking at this watch at No.1 warms my Heart. This is the first time i brought and wore a watch ever, so it felt nice.
As a guy interested in fashion design and just design on the whole you have made me so much more interested in watches than I already was. This is low key a timepiece university
Imagine living in a place where you can drop your kids off at school and not have to worry about their brains and guts being splashed all over the whiteboard.
@@whatachola You dont need a gun, you just need to reverse the massive cultural destruction that has turned the West from being reasonably safe to an increasingly dangerous shithole.
I am not a wealthy man. Even if I was I'm not sure I could ever justify spending 10s of thousands on watches. But I love watches so I love that Nico gives respect to Casio, Timex and Seiko....the watch brands I grew up with.
Hey Nico, Great work I remember I bought my first Rolex 13 +years ago. From Amsterdam Vintage Watches. Since then I have been collecting watches. Just bought a new Breitling because the way Rolex is going with the rubber straps.Just not my style. I enjoy your channel and humorous approach on this topic. Cheers and congrats on being a Dad. Michael
Thank god I have several ga-2100 that I can wear without fear of being robbed. I have 3 of them, used to have 5. Gave 2 away to me wife n me dad. The watch is definitely God-tier. Thanks Nico. I approve this video.
I recently decided I was going to get a watch to help me stay off my phone for long periods of time and I decided I want something with an alarm to remind me when to take my medications. I decided to not go too crazy I remember back in the 90s I liked Timex's indiglo watches, so went on Amazon to look for a basic digital Timex indiglo watch and I found a Timex Ironman 30 on sale for $35 Canadian down from 60 so I went through that. The Timex Ironman is a perfect design for me because it fits with my 1990s style wardrobe it's going to reliably be able to tell the time it wasn't too expensive I was able to get it in Black it has a few alarms it has the option to have two time zones and it has the indiglo feature I was dead set on getting. Needless to say I'm pretty excited about it getting here in a couple of days. Was happy to get a watch I liked that happened to be 42% off when I decided to go watch shopping. If down the line I decide to get another digital watch for myself I'm going to go with a 1980s/1990s style Casio with the backlight similar to the indiglo feature that Timex has and for the time being I'm perfectly content with the Timex I bought for myself. I can appreciate higher-end watches without necessarily needing one myself I personally like my late 20th century style digital sports watches but that's just my personal preference.
I've recently began my obsession as a watch collector. And i must say- out of all the luxury brands I've been researching, for me the amzwatch's watches are the most intriguing.
The Seiko and the Hamilton were my personal favs; particularly the Seiko. I'm more of a fan of blues like the Hamilton, but something about that shade of seiko's green really tickled my fancy.
The best watch I have ever worn is a Casio G-Shock GWM500A-1. I've worn it for over 10 years, never needed to change the battery or alter time, it has survived hell of High School and working at both Home Depot and a hardware store, it has been splashed with acid, concrete powder, fertilizers, mulch, manure, plaster dust, oil and gasoline. It was the best watch I ever owned, sadly the strap broke while I was riding my motorcycle and it fell off on the highway. I need to get a new one since it has been the best watch ever.
As a robber myself, I find this video very useful. Thanks Nico

The G-Shock GA-2100 has been viewed over 400 times today on the official website. I hope they’re paying Nico a nice commission
The GA-2100 is a great watch. 👍🏾
best watch I ever owned, I have the full metal one and the white colored one.
Casiok has been like one of the most popular and loved g-shock for ages... They should just send Nico some free watches
Love the GA-2100 casioak. Always loved Casios since I was a kid. I was made up when my folks got me the Casio F91W. Fun fact: Eminem wears a G Shock watch.
They do not need to pay any commission to anyone; the GA-2100 is the best watch in my collection, by far. It sells itself by the tons, deservedly.
New video idea: History lessons by Nico. Episodes where Nico tells us about the history of different brands. One brand per episode.
That would be brilliant
Bruh that's an amazing idea, I would love that
Yes this would be fantastic and a history of each model watch would be cool too
Great idea - I would love this
Like Donut’s Up to Speed, but watches!
I got robbed wearing a £150 watch. I won’t buy another watch until I move out of London.

I have a Tissot PRX Powermatic and would definitely recommend, looks great for the price and goes well dressed up or down!

I'm indecisive on choosing the prx powermatic and the gentleman powermatic. Both similarly priced and I can only choose 1 from this brand into my collection. Which is the one to go?
@@tjungan8409 get the prx. simply for the interchangeable bracelet. just incase you feel bored with it in the future. the design is timeless as well

Damn, he took the words right from my wife's mouth
Nico leonard is fully responsible for my becoming a watch collector. Im poor so watches like AP, rolex, patek and A lange & sohne will for ever be dream watches to me. But i love your videos and especially the ones like this because i can afford some of these. In fact my next watch im saving for is this Hamilton american classic. I love your videos and just wanted to say thank you for opening the world of watch collecting to me, im hooked.
I was feeling nervous almost all the way through the video from the lack of Casio, but you really made up for it with putting that ABSOLUTE GODLIKE BEAST OF A WATCH in the number 1 spot. Truly the best of the best, I have the all-black new solar powered B2100 model :)
👍🏾👍🏾
I just brought G-shock GM-2100 BB and looking at this watch at No.1 warms my Heart. This is the first time i brought and wore a watch ever, so it felt nice.
For once I actually own the nr 1 😂
😂🤣😅
I had everyone here at work cracking up 😂🤣😅
Why would anyone go to england??
As a guy interested in fashion design and just design on the whole you have made me so much more interested in watches than I already was. This is low key a timepiece university
Imagine living in a place where you fear someone taking something from you. Having a gun completely removes that problem
I'm going on vacation in Cali from Oklahoma soon.... putting away my carry piece for a 0.5oz pepper spray can 🙄🙄
Imagine living in a place where you can drop your kids off at school and not have to worry about their brains and guts being splashed all over the whiteboard.

@@whatachola You dont need a gun, you just need to reverse the massive cultural destruction that has turned the West from being reasonably safe to an increasingly dangerous shithole.
I am not a wealthy man. Even if I was I'm not sure I could ever justify spending 10s of thousands on watches.
But I love watches so I love that Nico gives respect to Casio, Timex and Seiko....the watch brands I grew up with.
Who else is watching this in 2028 when all the prices have doubled?
Me
Hey Nico, Great work I remember I bought my first Rolex 13 +years ago. From Amsterdam Vintage Watches.
Since then I have been collecting watches. Just bought a new Breitling because the way Rolex is going with the rubber straps.Just not my style.
I enjoy your channel and humorous approach on this topic. Cheers and congrats on being a Dad. Michael
Thank god I have several ga-2100 that I can wear without fear of being robbed. I have 3 of them, used to have 5. Gave 2 away to me wife n me dad. The watch is definitely God-tier. Thanks Nico. I approve this video.

I recently decided I was going to get a watch to help me stay off my phone for long periods of time and I decided I want something with an alarm to remind me when to take my medications.
I decided to not go too crazy I remember back in the 90s I liked Timex's indiglo watches, so went on Amazon to look for a basic digital Timex indiglo watch and I found a Timex Ironman 30 on sale for $35 Canadian down from 60 so I went through that.
The Timex Ironman is a perfect design for me because it fits with my 1990s style wardrobe it's going to reliably be able to tell the time it wasn't too expensive I was able to get it in Black it has a few alarms it has the option to have two time zones and it has the indiglo feature I was dead set on getting. Needless to say I'm pretty excited about it getting here in a couple of days. Was happy to get a watch I liked that happened to be 42% off when I decided to go watch shopping.
If down the line I decide to get another digital watch for myself I'm going to go with a 1980s/1990s style Casio with the backlight similar to the indiglo feature that Timex has and for the time being I'm perfectly content with the Timex I bought for myself.
I can appreciate higher-end watches without necessarily needing one myself I personally like my late 20th century style digital sports watches but that's just my personal preference.
Loved the ref no. of the Hublot Big Bang 🤣🍷
Them Belfast videos bringing back some good memories 😂
Watching someone watch watches.
Nico is the watch 🐐
Absolutely nailed #1 for sure!!!!! G-SHOCK
Love these videos. Great editing.
Man! I love Nico…!!😂😂
I've recently began my obsession as a watch collector. And i must say- out of all the luxury brands I've been researching, for me the amzwatch's watches are the most intriguing.
The Seiko and the Hamilton were my personal favs; particularly the Seiko. I'm more of a fan of blues like the Hamilton, but something about that shade of seiko's green really tickled my fancy.
The best watch I have ever worn is a Casio G-Shock GWM500A-1. I've worn it for over 10 years, never needed to change the battery or alter time, it has survived hell of High School and working at both Home Depot and a hardware store, it has been splashed with acid, concrete powder, fertilizers, mulch, manure, plaster dust, oil and gasoline. It was the best watch I ever owned, sadly the strap broke while I was riding my motorcycle and it fell off on the highway. I need to get a new one since it has been the best watch ever.
That Hamilton is absolutaly fire 🔥🔥🔥
You got me at Roberto Clemente.
Next boxing match Nico vs Hublot
Thats why getting in shape 😂😂
I never thought you would put Hublot in any category. LoL. Lots of love from Australia. Abs.
Just started watching your channel,I must say your very entertaining and informative,a step above the rest.Great video
I love that you included Zodiac, one of my favorite watch brands!
