Pay less and replace the crystal yourself. A double dome sapphire crystal with AR coating can be as little as $29.95. A whole watch tool kit with crystal press (for removing the original mineral crystal and pressing in a new sapphire crystal) is $28.61. I did it in about an hour or so with zero prior experience. Watch some videos to make it easy peasy. All the best!
@@bryanparker2855 I sincerely appreciate the advice, but for seikos current pricing I don't think the consumer should have to do that, especially when their competition like tissot, victorinox, hamilton, etc. Almost exclusively use sapphire for similar price points.
Just a general comment that your speaking ability is beyond any of the other watch professionals I’ve ever heard. Great delivery. No filler words. Super crisp with your message/point.
I work in medicine, and my everyday watch is the casio dw5600. If it's good enough for astronauts, then it's good enough for me. It's nice because I can sanitize it without worrying about it, and I wager I could probably dip it in alcohol and it'll come out fine. I have a rolex sub, but I'll pretty much stick with the g shock as an everyday, and save the sub for when I'm out and about off work. I see gshocks on the wrist of some of the physicians at my hospital as well, but I'm the only one with a square one.
I have the G-Shock GW6900. The ultimate sports/hike/camping watch. I love it. I time my roller blade skate with it. Turn it to the inside of the wrist for glancing at. It is the perfect ergonomic time piece.
I use my FW-91 for everything that is too risky for my Grand Seiko (tennis, hiking, beach). I thought about DW-5600 to be more peace of mind, but I asked myself this question: does that additional peace of mind justified by that 15mm thickness? The answer is a hard no plus FW-91 has 7 year battery, a lighter weight and cheaper. So a decision is made.
I have the Mido Multifort 38mm for about 3 years now and it is the perfect everyday watch for me. Sporty but can be worn in the office, have also taken it swimming in some of my vacations. It's also the most complimented watch I have. Truly an amazing value for money.
I bought a Hamilton Khaki Field Automatic in black 2 years ago at a watch outlet for Swatch Group watches (no Omega or Blancpain for sure) - paid 350€. I also bought my Longines Hydroconquest Automatic in 39mm in red with black rubber for 750€ from there a few years ago. Fantastic watches for that price!
Teddy, I'm a bit late to comment on this vid from a year ago, but wanted to say that your vids are serious high quality and informative, just like many of the watches you present. I'm glad your viewing numbers are phenomenal, which hopefully keeps you doing this full time (and buying / testing new watches!). We really need a great channel like this, and anytime you add in Kevin O., it's just a bonus. Thanks again!
That's a great point, when you look at photos of factory workers, shop keepers etc. Say pre 1930, you see 3 piece suits. Jackets off, or sleeves rolled up but not much else, maybe an apron. It's amazing how fast that disappeared.
I’ve never been too much into the Seiko Alpinist but this one looks far more elegant and sleek than the usual ones and thereby much more appealing in my opinion. Great piece, thanks!
It’s nice to see a variation on this channel. Most other watch channels highlight Rolex and it’s getting tiresome. Rolex is popular because of marketing and that’s all. There are better bang for your buck watches
I try my best to switch it up. Of course, that doesn't always lead to the same level of viewership but the world of watches offers too much to not look outside the more conventional pieces from time to time.
I purchased a Seiko SRPB57 just after this video was released and now, a year later, it’s still an amazing watch. Fairly accurate, very rugged watch. One big plus for me is the lume; quite readable in the dark. The watch wears nicely on my 7.75” wrist . Definitely worth the money and I am seriously considering buying another one, perhaps with a blue dial.
Another under the radar option is the Seiko 5 SNK805. Stock it comes with a nylon band but swap in a leather band and the military styling works as a semi formal dress watch. It's a fun choice for people in the snow belt when scraping, shoveling, and breaking up ice is a regular part of the day.
The more I look at the Tissot Gentleman Powermatic 80 the more I am enamored by how elegant it looks, while at the same time being so affordable. It looks like a watch that should be priced, at least, double what it costs. It is probably going to be my next purchase to add to my watch collection. I have Teddy to thank for my obsession with this watch, since he has featured it numerous times on this channel.
Either Hamilton style all the wayyyyy. And the ones with cathedral style hands and the regular field style. One style comes in either soft green and the other style comes in the soft blue dial color. Both come with steel bracelets also. Both are just beeeautiful watches!
Man - your look and style is wonderful, English is perfectly clear (for me - non-native english speaker), quality of video is amazing and content is great. Keep goin', great channel.
Let me add two models, one I'm eyeing, one I own: 1. Traska Commuter. Watch isn't out yet, but especially the mint-coloured dial variant looks awesome. Looks like a pretty affordable OP/DJ alternative. 2. Christopher Ward C63 Sealander Automatic. Talk about the ultimate everyday watch. The case and the finish overall are amazing for the price.
That last German watch was cool. Also the first hammy showed was interesting. I have a manual wind. Also recently I’ve been into Farer and have 2. Love that brand a lot!!
I can’t get myself to buy a watch over $1000. I wanted the Sinn 556 but can’t afford it right now. I bought a Seiko 5 Automatic SNKE63J1 Black Dial Stainless Steel Men's Watch. It was only $100! I put a vintage black leather strap on it from Amazon for $15. It looks like a Rolex Explorer. The best part is the lume. Out of my watch collection, this $115 purchase scratched that itch and it’s my favorite watch right now. (Owner of a Ball Engineer, Junhans formA, Tissot prs 516, Zellos Hammerhead 2)
Nice group of watches. Slightly off point here but regarding the Laco Augsberg, if you ever get the opportunity it's worth visiting Augsberg, particularly in December when the Christmas markets begin. It is such a beautiful city with amazing architecture, great beer and fantastic food, not to mention the wonderful friendly people!
I just ordered the Tissot gentleman. Can't wait to put my hands on it. But I really want the Hamilton and Muhle too, beautiful watches. Another amazing video Teddy!!
My favourite by a big margin in this group is the Seiko SPB167. Aesthetically it blows the others out of the water imo. Shame Seikos have gone up in price so much in the past couple of years ok. 4 years ago you could get an Alpinist for less than half the price of the new blue version. Can’t believe the new movement alone can justify this huge price hike.
I just got the Seiko SPB165, the white dial Sharp Edge. The dial is beautiful and I can’t stop staring at it. It truly is a great all round watch with the safire crystal, great bracelet and 100m water resistance.
Great video. Thes are the watches that are in my sweet spot. I am saving for the Sinn 556. Clearly the best value of all the choices and a fantastic modern take on the Explorer.
Every time I see it, I always think Man I wish that Murph was 38-40mm. Like every time. That Traska is really appealing too. Just feel it's missing something...maybe some applied indices? The Sinn and Damasko are both lovely. Think I like the look of the 556 a bit more. But love the durability of the Damasko.
I've had a number of problems with Tissot watches , including expensive repairs. I have many Seikos and never had a problem. I would recommend the new Seiko Presage line. They have affordable automatic movements, and nice choices for dial color.
Took a note of many of these choices mostly the Traska Summiteer as well as the Hamilton Khaki Field Auto. They really seem to have a good "bang for your buck" watch. Thanks for sharing.
I would add Longines Conquest to the list, just below $1000 USD, at around $800-$900 if you look at the right place. Great looking watch with amazing 300m water resistance.
Absolutely. I was hunting for a blue dial do-it-all piece last summer. My top 3: Conquest, Gentleman and the Certina DS Action Day-Date. Got the Certina only because I already own a Longines HC and a Visodate.
Have the Hamilton already and love it. Of these, the two I want are between the Seiko Presage Sharp Edge and the Muhle Glashutte Panova. Love the dial on the Seiko but am attracted to the playfulness of the colors on the Muhle. The latter is definitely less formal.
You mentioned a lot of great watches here. Seiko is always worth a look. The Mühle Glashütte was a very pleasant surprise. Never heard of it before. Excellent looking watch! For me, at a pricepoint below $1,000 my favorites are pretty much all the brands from the Swatch Group like Hamilton or Tissot. Well-proven ETA movements. Great value for the money. Picked up my Tissot LeLocle for like $500 in 2017. Still working great. Still loving it.
Teddy could go to the deep end and go full watchfinder, just showcasing unattainable watches, yet ge still does these affordable video series, staying true to his roots cheers mate keep it up. Disclaimer, nothing against watchfinder, is just that every time I see their videos my wallet, bank account, and cards moan in pain
Fantastic video as always. Id love to see you do a feature on the Seiko Presage SSA397. I recently acquired this piece and am absolutely in love with it. The simulated moss on the dial is really nice.
First, unless you are buying vintage or a cheap casio, sapphire should be expected in watches. I bought my wife the 157, it's a very very good quality timepiece. The 6R35 movement is outstanding. Gave it to her as a gift 1 month ago. Have not had to wind it since, despite not being worn all the time. The nomos, no way, it's overpriced for what it is in my view. The seiko kills it in every way.
The Sinn 556 is worth stretching the budget. Love the Orient Maestro. Was my first automatic watch. Also love everything coming from Baltic and the offerings from Serica.
Best microband is phoibos and orion! Phobios for divers! Orion has a AWESOME everyday peace with the orion hellcat! They are the most comfortable watches!
Southwest AR here and I know what you nean (which is why I lean towards the Muhle Glashutte, which looks like it's mean for warm weather and bare arms).
Had the Hamilton 'Murph' been between 30mm and 40mm, I would have bought it instead of my Hamilton Khaki Auto, but my wrist size is small so above 40mm looks way too large for my tastes.
@@balesjo I see, I don't normally consider the size of my wrist when choosing a watch. I like larger watches because in my experience they are easier to read.
I really want a kaki Hamilton but not having a screw down crown confuses me. For the price why not. Some say it helps keep out water but what if something hits the crown. I'd think it provides extra protection to watch being a screw down crown.
I would go with a Swiss movement any time. I experienced the mid tier Japanese movements and they are disappointing, I'm afraid. After my first ETA I realised why the Swiss movements are just much better

I’m 34 years old and I just fell in love with the world of watches. Thanks a lot Teddy.
I would pay more for Seiko to put a sapphire glass on its watches. There is nothing like peace of mind.
Pay less and replace the crystal yourself. A double dome sapphire crystal with AR coating can be as little as $29.95. A whole watch tool kit with crystal press (for removing the original mineral crystal and pressing in a new sapphire crystal) is $28.61. I did it in about an hour or so with zero prior experience.

Just a general comment that your speaking ability is beyond any of the other watch professionals I’ve ever heard. Great delivery. No filler words. Super crisp with your message/point.
I work in medicine, and my everyday watch is the casio dw5600. If it's good enough for astronauts, then it's good enough for me. It's nice because I can sanitize it without worrying about it, and I wager I could probably dip it in alcohol and it'll come out fine. I have a rolex sub, but I'll pretty much stick with the g shock as an everyday, and save the sub for when I'm out and about off work. I see gshocks on the wrist of some of the physicians at my hospital as well, but I'm the only one with a square one.
The square gshocks are smaller and get less in the way especially if you work with your hands.
I have the G-Shock GW6900. The ultimate sports/hike/camping watch. I love it. I time my roller blade skate with it. Turn it to the inside of the wrist for glancing at. It is the perfect ergonomic time piece.
Even as a server this is my go to watch for that reason, with touching dishes I can just wash my hands and the watch with no worry.
I use my FW-91 for everything that is too risky for my Grand Seiko (tennis, hiking, beach). I thought about DW-5600 to be more peace of mind, but I asked myself this question: does that additional peace of mind justified by that 15mm thickness? The answer is a hard no plus FW-91 has 7 year battery, a lighter weight and cheaper. So a decision is made.
Boring. My doctor wears a Tag Heuer.

Favourite was the Murph..had one for a few weeks ..but lug to lug of 52mm is way too big unless you have a monster wrist..👍
That's a great point, when you look at photos of factory workers, shop keepers etc. Say pre 1930, you see 3 piece suits. Jackets off, or sleeves rolled up but not much else, maybe an apron. It's amazing how fast that disappeared.
This guy is very likable.
Keeps it real and he stays humble!
I’ve never been too much into the Seiko Alpinist but this one looks far more elegant and sleek than the usual ones and thereby much more appealing in my opinion. Great piece, thanks!
I really enjoy you coming back to and discussing field watches and peices other than rolex/dive/chronos. Thank you keep up the good work.

Well, maybe it looks pricier because it’s practically a Rolex Datejust clone.
@@giusepperocchi2979 I see some similarities. I think it is a bit of stretch to call it a clone
Yeah it is a one good looking watch
I keep saying it, the day Tissot releases a gentleman in 36-37mm, it's an instant buy for me.
Muhle has a design language that inmediately calls the eye, refined , striking without hassle . Gotta love their work
Either Hamilton style all the wayyyyy.
And the ones with cathedral style hands and the regular field style. One style comes in either soft green and the other style comes in the soft blue dial color. Both come with steel bracelets also.

Agree re the Christopher Ward, Surprised that it was not on the list. As you said, the ultimate everyday watch!
The Traska lines are all insane for the everyday type watches. Great content as usual Teddy!
Is there anyway I can purchase de Traka from you?
The new seiko sharp series looks awesome!
Great Review, The Murph is such a good looking watch but wish they came in a 38mm
I'd buy two if they did honestly, that would be too awesome an experience to enjoy alone
That last German watch was cool. Also the first hammy showed was interesting. I have a manual wind. Also recently I’ve been into Farer and have 2. Love that brand a lot!!
Hey Teddy, I really appreciate the content you're putting out here! Will we see a video from you on the updated Traska Summiteer soon? 🤞
Nice to see some Mido mentions. Got the Mido Multifort Patrimony last week and I love it so much.
Best Darn Watch Channel on RUclips...hands down could watch his SHOW daily...actually ..I Do!
I'd add Longines Conquest based on personal experience now. The accuracy of this watch is just amazing, tied with the stunning blue dial
totally agree with you. i have the 41mm white dial and i love it. but the fact is that now, the automatic conquest costs 1250 euro
I'm glad you included the Muhle. Lovely watch.
The blue dial on that Seiko SPB157 looks stunning.
too bad it is as small as the regular Alpinist :(
I can’t get myself to buy a watch over $1000. I wanted the Sinn 556 but can’t afford it right now. I bought a Seiko 5 Automatic SNKE63J1 Black Dial Stainless Steel Men's Watch. It was only $100!

Nice list! My personal pick in the $500 range is the Lorier Falcon II. Its my daily driver, perfect size for me at 36mm and super versatile
I like the Muele, nice watch and you won't see them on everyone, along with the Certina DS.
Funfact:
Mühle is the german word for mill...
Nice group of watches. Slightly off point here but regarding the Laco Augsberg, if you ever get the opportunity it's worth visiting Augsberg, particularly in December when the Christmas markets begin.

Im also saving for sinn 556
Alpinist is a great watch.
I am a fan of Hamilton too.
Good video Teddy.
What a luck, to see new video uploaded less than 10 minutes ago! Here all the way from Malaysia! Keep it up man.
Bought the Seiko SRPE57 a month ago. Such a beautiful watch.
Every time I see it, I always think Man I wish that Murph was 38-40mm. Like every time. That Traska is really appealing too. Just feel it's missing something...maybe some applied indices? The Sinn and Damasko are both lovely. Think I like the look of the 556 a bit more. But love the durability of the Damasko.
The Murph is now made in a 38mm. It's perfect.
Omg I was literally hesitating between the Hamilton Murph and the Seiko Alpinist yesterday! Thank you for the video Teddy 😁
The Murph is a pretty watch, but kind of a chonker in size.
They are both beautiful, I might have to go with the Murph myself. Maybe it’s because I don’t own a Hamilton
That stimmy hit and Teddy put out the perfect video!
I've had a number of problems with Tissot watches , including expensive repairs. I have many Seikos and never had a problem. I would recommend the new Seiko Presage line. They have affordable automatic movements, and nice choices for dial color.
Same, a Tissot Ti PR50 which was going to cost nearly as much to fix as it did to buy originally. Poor service imho. Vowed to never buy another one.
I like the summary you put next to each watch.
That turtleneck, jacket combo is chefs kiss.
It's truly a crime that the Murph is a 42mm watch instead of 38mm like the Khaki Field Auto.
Damasko DS30 looks timeless and very elegant! Simply, yet effective dial and hands. Excellent design! i am impressed!
Love the "reptilian option" for leather! Very inclusive.
Great and elegant watches! Really enjoying and learning from you, keep it up my man
Took a note of many of these choices mostly the Traska Summiteer as well as the Hamilton Khaki Field Auto.
They really seem to have a good "bang for your buck" watch.
Thanks for sharing.
I would add Longines Conquest to the list, just below $1000 USD, at around $800-$900 if you look at the right place. Great looking watch with amazing 300m water resistance.
Absolutely. I was hunting for a blue dial do-it-all piece last summer. My top 3: Conquest, Gentleman and the Certina DS Action Day-Date. Got the Certina only because I already own a Longines HC and a Visodate.
My favorite is Hamilton Khaki Automatic. Love it!
Have the Hamilton already and love it. Of these, the two I want are between the Seiko Presage Sharp Edge and the Muhle Glashutte Panova. Love the dial on the Seiko but am attracted to the playfulness of the colors on the Muhle. The latter is definitely less formal.
I just bought the Hamilton viewmaster auto with the tan dial, so excited, for the price I think it’s the best you can get!
I saw the Hamilton Murph watch in person and it looks excellent. Not too big. Just right.
I've not heard of Mühle Glashütte before but now I'm going to have to do my homework. The Panova Blue model is very tempting.
So, which color sharp edges should I get? Leaning towards white, but the green is also nice
Those Hamilton watches look like really beautiful everyday watches as they aren't too dressy but they aren't too casual either. A great middle ground.
You mentioned a lot of great watches here. Seiko is always worth a look. The Mühle Glashütte was a very pleasant surprise. Never heard of it before. Excellent looking watch!
For me, at a pricepoint below $1,000 my favorites are pretty much all the brands from the Swatch Group like Hamilton or Tissot. Well-proven ETA movements. Great value for the money.
Picked up my Tissot LeLocle for like $500 in 2017. Still working great. Still loving it.
Teddy! What would i do without you?! Thanks for these comparison videos. It really makes it a lot easier for me.
Great vid 👍
So many to choose from 🧐
Being a Seiko guy first and foremost; I'm surprised to say my favorite is the Hamilton Khaki Murph ⌚😎👍
Love the look of the Hamilton Khaki. Reminds me of the Breitling transoceanic day/date with black face. Will deft take a closer look.

I own the Hamilton murph and the seiko alpinist, both great watches
Seiko Alpinist and Hamiltons Khaki Field Auto and Murph would be my choices, by far.
There are some nice Laco and Stowa fleigers with dates Id recommend, Also Chris Ward Sealander GMT w/ 50 reserve Sellita is really nice also.
I would buy that Hamilton Murph in a second if it were 40mm.
I would prefer it in a 38mm, but would probably live with a 40mm if it were available.
Or 38mm....
Laco Augsburg is my #1. Even with the Miyota movement it’s running + 5 seconds a day after close to 2 years. No issues, no problems.
Fantastic video as always.
Id love to see you do a feature on the Seiko Presage SSA397. I recently acquired this piece and am absolutely in love with it. The simulated moss on the dial is really nice.
The way he pronounced Mühle Glashütte was just incredibly funny
What a great selection of watches teddy
Great job.
You put Certina on my radar. Beautiful watch. And almost inevitable now that I’ll buy a Hamilton - just a matter of which one.
Interesting group. Seiko SPB 157 was my favorite, but that last German watch caught my eye as well.
First, unless you are buying vintage or a cheap casio, sapphire should be expected in watches.
I bought my wife the 157, it's a very very good quality timepiece. The 6R35 movement is outstanding. Gave it to her as a gift 1 month ago. Have not had to wind it since, despite not being worn all the time.
The nomos, no way, it's overpriced for what it is in my view. The seiko kills it in every way.
Muhle Glashutte never heard of them before. I loved the piece you showed. I will look it up, thanks.
The Sinn 556 is worth stretching the budget. Love the Orient Maestro. Was my first automatic watch. Also love everything coming from Baltic and the offerings from Serica.
I actually got the spre57 after seeing it in one of your videos, it looked so clean I bought it immediately haha. I appreciate your videos
Best microband is phoibos and orion! Phobios for divers! Orion has a AWESOME everyday peace with the orion hellcat! They are the most comfortable watches!
The alpinist, hands down
Haven't watched the video yet, but the muprh would be the perfect hamilton if it was sized at 38mm
The Seiko and Nomos are in another level very good finishing - if not the best - for the price range they are so freaking elegant
Especially the dial on the seiko kills it best dial ever made for seiko
If I were to define you .... or describe you , with a single word , the word would be : Class .
Love the German ones with the hardened steel
I learn something in every one of your videos, thank you
The Muhle ... what a serious piece of kit. Like the Wempe brand. Superb watches. My favourites.
In Louisiana in the summer, casual dress is easier so a casual type watch is the way to go.
Southwest AR here and I know what you nean (which is why I lean towards the Muhle Glashutte, which looks like it's mean for warm weather and bare arms).
With the skx and the sarb now discontinued, what would you say are the next affordable classics to look out for? (Im relatively new to watches)
Teddy your are really helping me get into the watch game. Thanks man
Thank you for bringing my attention to the Hamilton murph. What’s you opinion on the Hamilton Broadway? I like the blue green variant myself.
Had the Hamilton 'Murph' been between 30mm and 40mm, I would have bought it instead of my Hamilton Khaki Auto, but my wrist size is small so above 40mm looks way too large for my tastes.
@@balesjo I see, I don't normally consider the size of my wrist when choosing a watch. I like larger watches because in my experience they are easier to read.
As Always I Love all the watches you’v shown but to me an everyday watch should have a date function.
