- In this video we will be taking a look at the very best watches under $150. You might think that there isn't a lot of choice when it comes to affordable watches. I however believe that there is plenty of incredible timepieces available in this price range that will get you a nob of respect from even the snobbiest of watch enthusiast.

DUDE they are all bangers for the money.. Nice list i like it!
Thank you my friend
Refreshing to find another great channel for starter watch collections. Really good selection covered. Only thing I would say though is that prices should be based on RRP and not sale or second hand price otherwise it is inconsistent and opens you up to loads of watches.
I bought my first watch the Orient Ray II in blue colour about a month ago. Happy to see this watch on the top of your list. I decided to buy another watches too later. Perfect piece to start a collection.
I don't have a large collection of watches (10-12 pieces), anyway they are not very expensive watches (Orient ray II, Casio Duro, Timex). I came across your videos recently, and slowly, slowly I started to unfollow the videos with expensive watches. I like the enthusiasm, the honesty with which you present even an ordinary Lorus watch (and I have one of this one). So as long as you don't change the style of your videos, you will always have at least one follower. Well done!
Thank you Klaus. That's a lovely comment. I also have a similar size collection of mostly affordable watches. Same brands as you. I think there is so much value and fun to be had in the affordable watch market. My videos will be staying the same style for sure. However the editing will get better, better footage etc. So I'm happy to have you around.
@@TopTierTicker I am a citizen of a country where the average salary is 6-700 dollars per month. I say this because at this level collecting luxury watches (such as Rolex, Tudor, Omega, Longines) is not an easy thing. That's why I somehow chose to follow your videos, whose watches are as accessible as possible. For example, I am looking to increase my collection with an Orient Bambino, I am looking for good offers. And this year I want to buy either a Tissot prx or an Atlantic Mariner. I watched the Tissot video, very nice! I'm a big fan of diver watches, but I'm also looking at an offer of field watches from Citizen. I greet you! Good luck !
Really enjoyed the video. Some nice watches I didn't know, specially the Casio Edifice. Great job!
Thank you Paulo! I tried to include some watches that were a little more under the radar for the hardcore watch enthusiasts and some common ones for the newbies! That Casio is an unreal pick by the way. Definitely check it out
@@TopTierTicker when looking for a watch, I always try to find that watch that offers the best value for the money. And, if possible, always try to get higher tier quality. I find that around the 1.000 (EUR/USD/GBP) to be the sweet point. But then, when I see some more affordable options I always get the feeling those are the ones I should buy. A real dilema... 🤷🤔😅
A great list and, of course, I love that the Duro made the list. I’d have been shocked if it hadn’t, let’s be honest. I’ve never owned an Edifice but really like the EFB. Also, as a Citizen fan also, I need to check out that chrono.
I recently discovered your Channel today and must confess that I’m really impressed ,congrats ,you go direct to the point ! I like that ! I put you in my favourite RUclipsr who subject talking is wrist watch ⌚️!
Have a great day …
This is a really good video with some great recommendations! I kept getting surprised.
Orient Ray II is the best. I have used it almost 3 years, and it is still the best.
Me too, have mine about a year, love it.
at around $130, it is the best watch for the money
Same here... Lourve my Blue Sunburst Mako II... 😁
No
Same here
Great work - I have an Orient Ray 2 in blue, one of my first automatic watches. Loved it when I bought and still love it now.
Good choice! Orient dive watches are the best bang for buck on the market. Thanks for watching
What’s the reference number of model of the watch shown at 3:18?
A good budget selection with some watches you don't see everywhere - well done!
Thank you! I tried to mix it up a bit
may I know the model reference for the Tissot chronograph
Very good review. I've tried quite a few of the watches featured. Mint pre-owned or discounted new. Maybe two you missed...the Accurist 7367 Chrono with the cushion Case & Timex Harbourside Coast Black Case + Black Dial with orange accents. I settled on two "beaters", the Classic Vostok you featured in both the Black & Silver Dial...both on Bracelets. Vostok & G-Shock have a lot of respect amongst enthusiasts as tool watches, no matter how heavy hitting their collection might be.
i had 2 duro watches a black and a blue one so i traded the black one for an edifice ef527 that was missing a spring bar and needed a battery
Too bad you didn't show the best part of the Seiko 5 SNKE61, the fantastic lume! I've owned one for about 3 years and it was a daily for about a year of that, fantastic little watch and a great Explorer alternative. Great video!
Thanks for sharing!
Very nice list and picks. I watch other channels and you recommended a lot that I have not seen in those other videos, thanks!
That's exactly what I aim to do with these videos. I try to stay away from the popular suggestions and show people new models they might not have considered. Plenty more to come too! Thanks for watching
Seagull movements aren't dodgy. ( Do you mean in quality? ) They are a big improvement over lots of entry level Japanese movements and generally keep better time, even the cheap high-beat ones in my experience. I think the original copies they made of ETA movements etc have been tweaked over time. Parts are easily available too if you want them serviced. I'm not in a financial position to take the moral high ground and say they're just copies, I want a functional auto and they are certainly not dodgy but are affordable, reliable automatic movements.
Absolutlely love your picks! thank for this very helpful video!
This was a FANTASTIC list. Would have liked to have seen some links though. Hard to find a lot of these on the googles
You’ll be lucky - links are not his ‘ thing’ . No commercial gain so not interested I guess 🙄
Being in the market for a daily beater, I've stumbled across your video. Needless to say that I ordered the Orient Defender 2. Thank you for the recommendation!
Good choice my friend. You cannot go wrong with that watch. Get plenty of straps and natos for it and you'll never stop having fun with it.
Wow, this is a great list. Thank you so much!!
Thank you for the great video and info. Found at least 2 that are exactly what I'm looking for.
In your video the vanilla color orient defender as a light blue loom is that normal or did you have something that was light blue reflecting off the watch????
Thanks
Joel
Yeni ve çok beğenerek almış olduğum sizin de videoda bahsettiğiniz seiko 5 snke 61 model saatim bir kez yaklaşık 10 sn salladıktan sonra çalıştı ve öylece bıraktım 8 saat sonra tamamen durdu bu normal midir?
Can you provide a model number for that Citizen Chronograph? I can't seem to find it anywhere.
The marlin emblem is no longer used by Casio. That was the eye catcher with these. Now they have the same watch no marlin
Very true
I have a brand new Duro… has the Marlin logo… USA purchase
@@bradl2636 they are still avbl, ‘old’ stock, but no new ones are made with the marlin logo.
I bought two when they announced the marlin symbol would disappear. Blue and gold version.
They made a million of them. It'll be years before the marlin stock disappears.
@@Robin6512i have gold marlin. beautiful watch. and i like the marlin logo. haha
Bought an Orient Ray II well over a year ago and the bezel was almost impossible to turn. Replaced the bezel and insert with a coin edge and twelve hour setup from Long Island Watch and it’s better, but still way to stiff. Also bought an Orient Kamasu that is far better than the, and I’d recommend that any day over the Ray.
I agree, unfortunately the Kamasu is slightly over the $150 mark. However the Kamasu did make my best watches under $250 video!
Try a few tiny drops of sewing machine oil beneath the bezel... Works wonders... 😁
Awesome review! I own a couple on this list. 👍
These are perfect selections for this list! I'm enamored with the Casioak at the moment. It's just so shamelessly bulky and bad ass.
Excellent, very informative and well made video mate! You deserve a lot more subscribers...I just did! Many thanks.
Thanks for the sub!
Great job. Nice list. However, I have switched over to solar-powered watches…I wish you would’ve include more of those in your list.
You’re hilarious, the Casio “civil war” 😂 this is a GREAT video on what to expect. Keep em coming
Very nice list, keep going!
Thank you my friend 🙏 there's plenty more affordable watch lists to come 🙌
I love how the thumbnail has two of the face pieces of my collection 10/10
I don't know why I love this dude's voice.
Great video. Wide range of affordable watches. I personally like the orient brand of watches. Looking for the bambino to add to my collection.
You did it again! what model is the citizen ecodrive? I would like to know?
Fantastic list agree with nearly all your choices but Rotary have some very good choices well done
Thanks! 👍 I've owned a couple of rotarys in the past myself
Try seagull watches, they have a seagull moon phase which is around $150 and looks stunning
Seagull are sending me some watches to review on the channel. Expect videos of them soon
What is that beautiful first orient watch at 3:02 ?
Hi! Can U give me your opinion about Festina brand? Thanks. 🙂
I want your opinion please. Casio or Citizen ? Thanks
I have the Casio Edifice for 90€ and I love it rather than my more expensive watches 🔥
Finally! Affordable watches that are quality. Thank you so much for this video. I subbed!
Glad you like them! I'll only ever recommend good quality watches. See you in the next video :)
I'm now 74 years old and have over 20 watches from many famous brands such as from Switzerland & Japan and Germany including a golden Rolex (a present)which I did not like. I gave most of them away to my Brothers because if you don't use them regularly they do break down. Now I do have a simple Fosill/Defender watch which basically runs like a citizen Eco-drive. It cost 180 dollars. The main reason for me one has to like the look of the watch. I did have several Diving watches as well (I was a diving instructor in my free time and was very happy with Seiko never encountered a problem
How about the bracelet? Is a good quality made? Thanks
Excellent picks. I found a few that I like.😊
Thank you for a great video on affordable watches that are still great watches
my casio edifice is so robust, used to wear to office but relegated to what i wear during building and DIY work. changed the battery once or twice as I have had it for so long. literally outlasted everything lese. notable mention to my pulsar black steel with silver steel detailing - still looks great
Best combination Seiko,Orient,Citizen... 👍
This Video is a freaking BANGER! THANK YOU! If you could add Timestamps this vid would be even better!
Keep it up Brother! The Classic Lorus is so cool!
Man the Orient is so cool! Thanks for new Inspirations Brotha!
I own all of these times 3 great show.
Nice video. I'd like to add one more and it is a Casio efv-100D-2AVUEF. I have it since few months ago and it is so fun. Real strap monster. Good in any situation. All for 85 euros but the price is going up now. Level of finish is crazy for the price and it looks way over its price range. All the best...
Thanks a lot for that, I am going to buy your Favorite too, it's hovering around $155 at this moment.
Great vids and list my dude🔥🔥🔥. My "revelation" watch (if you can call it that) is the mako 2. Love it to death to this day
Exactly, I own a Kamasu Red dial and similar story to you. Absolutely adore it.
I watch lots of watch reviews and you and the mad watch man are top draw 👏👏👏👏👏
Timex is doing some good stuff 👌
What’s the model of the timex in this video ?
Sweet list! I also wanted to say the Casio Retrograde is a really slick-looking chronograph for around 120 USD!
Indeed it is!
that Tissot is interesting along with the Orient defender. good channel, keep up the excellent work 👍
Nice review. Some excellent choices.
Thank you kindly!
Some Addiesdive watch like MY-H9 or Invicta Pro Divers are also good.
fantastic video and brilliant watch informations .thank you .
Glad you enjoyed it :) Thanks for watching
I have a Ray ll and it looks small on my wrist but I do love the lighter weight of it
I purchased a Seiko 5 field watch then was disappointed to find out it doesn't have a sapphire crystal or hand wind capability. I didn't do my research. Now I see many better price/spec choices. Citizen, Steeldive, Deep Blue, Orient, Casio, even Invicta.
what is price,brand and Ref number of the first watch?
Awesome reviews and some great watches good choices ,I start collecting watches here in Canada only 4 months ago ,I'm a budget collector.. favorites Casio/Seiko/Citizen and Bulova .some Timex are great too, would like to get an orient ,any suggestions for a mechanical (wind up). Starting to view more of your videos...Great stuff.
I own 2 Orient watches and I can say without question, they are top tier quality! Check out my review on the best affordable enthusiast dive watch, it's an Orient and it's so good!
Some of watches like Tissot are up to 400 Euros...however they are listed in below 150 category....
Yes, it seems that it has risen in price since I made this video. In future, I will not be including watches that are on sale in videos. Sorry about this
@@TopTierTicker dont mention it. Overally very good video and meticuloisly chosen...
where would you suggest we take that Seagull movement to get maintained or repaired!
Probably the rubbish bin just like most cheaper watches unless you know someone who is willing to work for next to nothing or you fancy just buying a replacement movement and putting it in yourself.
Just bought the seiko 5 you shown with the numbers
Thanks
Awesome choice!
I have twp vostok amphibias and neither work anymore. Didnt last 5 years. Wish Id bought a citizen dive watch instead
Hi, where can one buy this Tissot watch, and what are the details of this watch?
Also, which are good websites to buy watches upto. 300 US dollars?
Thsnks
Jomashop and creation watches are where I get all my budget watches. Hope this helps
@@TopTierTicker Thank you
If i look those watches up on amazon they are all moe expensive by a lot. Do you have any links
I use creation watches and Jomashop.. They have the cheapest prices
you need to do a new list. Half the watches are way over 150 dollars. Like the tissot quickster is 425 euros here in EU :D
Yeah, I messed up when making this video and included too many watches that were on sale. I'm very careful with it these days. I'll make an updated version at some point and be a lot more strict with pricing
Thank you so much for this informative video!
You are very welcome. Thank you for watching 🙌
i own 5 of the watches featured ( they're not Rolex , so no flexing from me).
I have the mako2 - the Ray but a different design. After getting the Citizen Promaster diver ( ISO cert. for a bit over of this budget and a brutalist design) now find it too big and heavy.
The Vostock is just fun - overlooking the crown - but may be hard to get a Russian watch now ( and the question of getting one)?
The Lorus has lume that embarrasses other more expensive timepieces.
That and the GA2100 will be candidates to take on my next holiday, along with my 37mmm Casio Edifice gen.1 ( seek it out) and Oceanus ..( not a Casio fan boy at all). Cheers.
Great Video.
Greetings from Madrid
Thank you very much!
I have a Ray II in black. Great Watch
Great list!
I used to wear Loruses (and Pulsars) back in the 80s and 90s. But the brand vanished from the U.S. some time ago. And all my Loruses eventually conked out. Cool to know that it's still available in the UK. I'll have to order one some day.
They are still available in the u.s.
Hi ive bought the g shock casio, the same one as you shown on here. interchangeable sides and straps.
However im struggling to find genuine different designs.
Like the steel and other colours. Can anyone help me please. 😢
So it sounds like you have the G-Shock GAE-2100, which is a slightly different version to the one I'm showing here. Your watch does have an interchangeable case and strap but it doesn't have a lot of options for it.
I don't think it's possible to buy a steel case for your version, as the module inside is slightly different.
So if you wanted a steel case you'll either have to buy a GM2100, or buy a GA2100 and buy a mod kit off ali express!
I'd recommend buying a cheap second hand Ga2100 on ebay, and buying a new GA2100 mod kit on Ali-Express, you effectively get a brand new metal casioak for less than £100.
Hope this helps
Yeah sorry wrong video, i got the same set you have, hoping to buy more mod,s. Ive seen the ones on ali Express but are the not fake and might damage or weeken the watch. And the other mod,s are costing nearly same as the watch. Thankyou for getting to me. 👌
@toptierticker hi sorry to bother you. Do you not know wer i can get another mod for this watch, i literally thought with you being able switch them they had a whole range. However not having any luck. Thanks
What a cracking list! A breath of fresh air in a nonsense of watch vlog”£1000” “affordable” watches which are not. Great choices. Might I add the incredible Citizen promaster excalibur dive watch (£175) and seiko quartz sapphire glassed pressage look alike(£170) and the similar but more budget Invicta Prodive which are insane value! The notable runners up must include a few micro brands like the Pagani Design brand which feature some jaw droopingly beautiful watches all at under £150.
About to add to my collection with a Kamasu and that G Shock you showed.
Where can I buy watches shown?
where can you purchase the citizen chrono?
Creation watches
Quality video. Thanks
Glad you enjoyed it
Great List.
What is the reference number for that citizen chronograph?
Nevermind I see
Because of this and similar videos I was able to start my collection this year with the blue Casio Duro.
Glad to hear it!
Thats my daily beater. I can tell you first hand mine has spent a significant amount of time in rivers, pools, and the gulf of mexico. Not a drop of moisture made it through.
Would the Orient watches size down to a 6.5 inch wrist with the bracelet?
Absolutely they will. I also have a 6.5inch wrist and all my recommendations will fit.
@@TopTierTicker Thank you very much. You have a nice list of recommendations. I like the first Orient watch you recommended in your video for my wrist size.
Bravo video interessante e utile.
There are some cool watches that are very inexpensive merkur very stylish
No links?
OMG this is so cool!
Great video 👍
Thanks for the visit
The tissot watch looks great but i cant find a place to buy under 150 can anyone help
It was on Jomashop for $100 but they have sold out. I have just check ebay and you can still pick them up brand new for just over $100. 💵
I prefer that battry watchs
I own efb, really nice watch. but you reviewed 2 different watches: the one with the screws is efr.
Indeed. I wanted to highlight both models, both great options. Very similar in aesthetics but same in materials and functionality. Great choice with the EFB by the way. 🙌
Great video
Thanks for the visit
The Citizens stands out ❤
Quality 👍🏼
