The Seiko GMT movement is already widely available and modders have just gotten started, and it's a matter of time before micro brands start doing really cool things with them. On its own, the Seiko is already a home run, but what it does for the affordable enthusiast market, it's the winner of 2022 in my mind. Thanks for the rundown!
The value of channels like this is all the knowledge gained by handling the watches (plus the experience of having handled so many others previously). As the channel and shop’s success grows, Thanks to these guys maintaining their humble beginnings, giving the transparent BAD as well as good.
Teddy has outstanding taste. He doesn't follow the crowd, he finds good picks across various price ranges, and can qualify precisely in terms of both design and technical aspects why he likes something. I enjoyed this.
Just purchased my first watch from your website. I purchased the Tissot Gentleman Powermatic 80 with a silver dial. Man, this is a great watch for the money. I love it! Ordering was simple and the product was received with no issues. I enjoyed watching a ton of your videos in 2022. Looking forward to what 2023 brings the watch community.
Fell deep down the watch rabbit hole about a month ago, have probably watched 20+ hours of your content since. Thanks for putting all of this out there!
That’s literally me right now. I’ve just been completely emersed in the world of watches for the past month or so. Teddy makes the best content on watches, for sure.
Teddy, please Never change like the other big watchfluencers. I appreciate and enjoy your channel so much for being so versatile and not milking Rolex in every video, going with the hype etc.
The Miyota 9075 “true” GMT movement also deserves an honorable mention, in my opinion. Perhaps the Bulova watch with which it was released isn’t for everyone, but we are beginning to see more and more watches being manufactured with that movement, which is great for those who want a truly affordable “true” GMT watch.
This year I obtained my basic and advanced open water scuba diving certifications and started looking into dive watches, and found your channel. I quickly went from knowing nothing about watches to being immersed in a whole new world! I've watched so many videos (mostly yours) and read a few books, and I spent months voraciously consuming every bit of watch content I could find. Thank you for feeding my new passion this year! You've been a prominent part of my journey into watches and I'm thankful for that Teddy :)
I started my hobby this year with a Seiko Sports 5 and a Seiko Pepsi Turtle. Both have the same 4R36 movement. I doubt becoming a collector but definetely considering my next timepiece with more power reserve ( a Seiko Baby Alpinist or a Hamilton Khaki Field Auto). Thanks Teddy for delivering helpful videos to starters like me and greetings from Germany!
Longines has a lot of pieces with 72 hr power reserves, as do Tissot and Rado with 80 hrs. Tissot is on the more affordable side of those three companies, with Longines and Rado being "entry-level" luxury brands
I think very highly of Teddy. I was very closed minded in my style preferences. He is very educated on all of the brands and presents that information in a fair manner. I am not, in any way, offended by hearing what he prefers because he is still offering kudos, where they are due. Very glad that I found his channel and watch whenever I get a chance.
Teddy... You've got me hooked on watches! I've watched a TON of your videos in the past month and I can't wait until the next one comes out so I can learn more. Thank you for making the content easy to understand and captivating. I'm simply in awe of watches now thanks to you. My bank account isn't happy but I am!
Picked up a amzwatch's watch as my first watch last month and I’m absolutely in love with it. Perfect size, looks elegant, very comfortable. Now my only problem is holding off from buying more watches so quickly!
That Breitling B09 just looks gorgeous. I probably won't be able to ever afford it but I would still love to wear one on my wrist someday, it looks so damn good, just beautiful.
Another superb video. Your videos over the past few years reignited my passion for watches and now I have a small four watch collection that I absolutely love - Hamilton Khaki Field Titanium, Baltic Aquascaphe Blue gilt, Omega Seamster Diver 300 white dial and the Omega Speedmaster 3861 Hesalite - Thanks again for the phenomenal and consistent content
I personally love the Seiko Ssk gmt. Great watch, great value for money, great experience having it on the wrist. Really good job on the video Teddy, keep up the good work!
For years, I've been happy with my little Seiko watch collection. I have like one piece for every occasion and/or season - that's it - and I've been able to sleep comfortably. RUclips suddenly recommends Teddy, and within two days I've bought an SRPE57 and now I have serious cravings for an SSK003. Dang it! Your suede jacket looks great by the way Teddy.
Teddy, I love this channel. It’s informative, entertaining and provides a place for us enthusiasts. More importantly it’s given me something at a time in my life when I was really struggling so it’s bigger than just watches. Thank you.
Excellent list, of course. I'd add the Calibre 1932 5 hz split seconds chronograph minute repeater watches from Omega. Incredible accomplishment in a year of fantastic releases from Omega.
TB, I'd love to see histories of the different brands/microbrands out there today. There are so many out there that I'm sure there are some amazing stories to uncover.
The Hamilton Khaki Field "Murph" edition must be a special edition for the movie Interstellar. They used the Hamilton Field watch in the movie and the watch ended up being a very important part in the story. And the character who used the watch was named Murphy or "Murph" for short. That is so cool of Hamilton to do. I Love that watch!
They did another release from that movie, Matthew McConaughey's character wore it. It's a very nice pilots watch for a great price. Love that movie and I love that Hamilton is in a lot of movies. Usually when I see a movie I look up what they're wearing.
Intersecting the GMT & micro categories, I think the jack Mason strat-o-timer is worth taking a look at. If not for anything else, for creating a very wearable true GMT priced at 1k
I DM’d Teddy about this one, since I’d never heard him even mention that microbrand, and he reiterated just how many GMTs have been released this year in the
Been watching your stuff on TT ans came over here for some more details. I've made a list watches because of you. Thanks for keeping it real to the common folk.
First time hearing of the SCURFA, and after a bit of research they seem really impressive for the price. Sometimes I find myself focusing too much on automatic movements, i need to be more open to what the quartz has to offer.
Among the watches mentioned, I am very glad to have purchased Seiko SSK GMT and intended to keep it for very long. I still have the SSC813 panda dial with me, but I have recently purchased SSC911 "Go Big" with a bigger dial and lumes on all the markers (the SSC813 only has lumes on 3,6,9 and 12 o'clock), and I am contemplating selling the 813. I have had my eyes on Longines Spirit GMT and regular Spirit for a while. But I also hope to wait for Longines' new releases in 2023. I also overheard that Tissot PRX will get a 37.5mm dial which should work better for me than the current offerings of 42mm and 35mm, and I will be thrilled to try it on.
I am another fan who has gone down the rabbit hole. I have been watching your channel. daily. And have learned so much. I am repairing a vintage Audemars Piguet I inherited from my father. Changing the face on A Rolex date just(hate Roman numerals). Bought a Oak and Oscar and a Monta Noble at Windup Watch fair. Planning to spend some $ on Grand Seiko or Jaeger Lecoultre next year. 6 months ago I didn’t know any of these brands. When can your fans see you in person??
Teddy hi from N Ireland on St Patrick’s Day. Just a small note of thanks for your marvellous channel. Has got me into collecting (on a not too extravagant level). All down to you and your encyclopaedic knowledge
Honestly the most underrated watches are Orient Star. I don’t know if it is the design (which I personally love) or the fact that people don’t understand their movements although based on standard Japanese movements, are actually built to much higher standards, easily on par with ETA and Sellita. Their case finishing and dial work are better than anything under $1000-$1500, and they are constantly on sale for just a few hundred bucks. I have a collection of Orient Stars and I can’t get over how good they are and how little I paid for them.
I have an Omega that was bought in Germany by my father in 1958. Had it served in St.Ignace Michigan last year. Beautiful watch, but I never wear it out. My go to pieces are my Tissots. They are amazing watches
I recently got an Orient Helios, which is basically an open-heart style Bambino on a bracelet instead of a strap. I love it. Might be my favorite of the 9 watches I own. I understand the hype that the Bambino gets, and I think the Helios deserves the same.
Amazing wrap-up Teddy. Just bought the Seiko 5 GMT from your website a couple days ago. Can't wait to use it as a tool watch to track time of multiple places. Just one gripe. The website says that it has a lug width of 20mm. However, I've checked multiple sources online and they say that it's 22mm. Otherwise, an absolute home run. Happy holidays!
From a 500 dollar watch to a six figure watch. Great variety in taste and price, as usual. Appreciate the hard work you and the squad put in! It feels like there is a new video everyday lol. (My murph is on its way to me now!)
Hi Teddy! Thank you for another year of great content. I appreciate your style and insight! Not watch related, but what jacket do you have on in this video? I really like the style. Thank you!
That Seiko 5 GMT is wayy better looking in person. I just gifted this watch in Grey/Black to my best friend who avid watch collector but dislikes Seiko watches. And he has been wearing it literally every single day since he got it and loves the watch so much! Like a sunburst dial, the bezel shows different colors under different lightings and the jubilee bracelet is well made. No problems with movements and the finishings executed properly. My cousin also has the Blue/Black (Blueberry) and I gotta say that one is really good looking. It doesn’t shout out “I look like Rolex Batman.” It’s really a different feeling compared to the Batman/Batgirl. Hands down best watch under $400 🔥
Thank you Teddy for all the great content you are bringing up over the year! It sounds funny but you are the one who made me realize that I should downsize my preferred watch size to a perfect fit.
Thank you for sharing your passion and thoughts with these different designs. I own many different types for different purposes and occasions. Some for physical activity, work or going out on the town. For all reasons for these different designs make it so much fun and interesting in our everyday lives.
Hello Teddy I am curious if you could do a video on how you and Kevin choose time peaces from your collection to transport safely for traveling and how you pack your watches or do you use specific storing devices ? Thank you! David
I just saw this and I remember when I tried on the Longines Spirit at their retail store in NYC. I bent my wrist and told them it was digging into my hand and that was a deal breaker for me. I thought it looked great but it had an unusually long crown like you noted. The lady said I could just wear it on the other wrist!
Just came across the Sternglas Taiga GMT. Absolute steal at 249 & 279 for field and leather straps respectively. It’s quartz, but I’m not complaining for a sapphire crystal bauhaus GMT under 300 220 flat after discount for the field.
Microbrand Jack Mason Strat-o-timer releasing March 2023 with Miyota 9075 "true, travel" GMT movement at unheard of sub-$1K cost. They were one of the first microbrands selected by Miyota to house their new true GMT movement. Gorgeous look, jubilee style micro-adjust clasp, bi-directional bezel. Definitely one to check out as a GMT (and Microbrand) option.
Great video as usual. I too got the Seiko 5 GMT and did a review on it. But my heart yearns for the Longines. They've been doing great work the past few years helped by their library of designs for years ago.
Hello Teddy, I owned two of your choice in last month, Seiko Prosprex Diver and Longines Zulu Time GMT before watching this RUclips. Proof that I have the right choices. Thank you.
Thoughts on the new Timex expedition north titanium? On paper sounds pretty decent for $350. Titanium, 200M, Sapphire Crystal, auto with hacking. Interesting competition for Hamiltion fields!
Thank you for this great review of the watches of the year. I learn every with your videos. I understood that i have underestimated, during 30 years, great brands like TUDOR and TISSOT. On the other side i am happy to see that all my favorite watches are in your TOP 10 : Longines, BREITLING, BREGUET and i forget one (my GOD) .
My Seamaster is the model worn by Pierce Brosnan in his first Bond outing. It is the only quartz in my collection and I love it because of the connection to Brosnan's Bond. Pierce might not have been the best Bond but for my money he was the most fun.
Great video overall. Wish the BB pro got more coverage than the quick shot out. The thickness is subjective and deff a non issue, as I have a small wrist and have the pro and it still wears like a dream. Wish you also covered the new Grand Seiko SBGW287 Boshū in the dress section, as it was released this Oct/Nov and had a super killer burgundy dial. Maybe a new video showcasing the SBGW 231 and their four seasons line?
I very much like how this video ranges from, "I can get one of these" to "someday." It shows how a watch doesn't need to be expensive to be interesting.
Got the SSC819 last week and I just love it, although it looks a little bit small on my almost 7.5" wrist... while the SSC813 looks like a tribute to the daytona, the SSC819 looks more like a smaller tribute to the omega speedmaster moonwatch, and it is an absolute strap beast
Why don't you do more digital watches etc. Certainly opens up a new avenue. Would love to see more of the Casio line. Would love to see some Edifice too
This is now my favourite watch channel on RUclips , such great content and done superbly, well done sir and I got my favourite watch at amzwatch， it hasn’t left my wrist for weeks

Modded sounds alot like custom which sounds like... paying for other people problems.
Where do i get the GMT with sapphire and cyclops?
@@daley1985 you put a sapphire cyclops on one yourself
There are already about ten different microbrands making a gmt, almost none of them have truly been higher quality than the Seiko.
It is such bullshit, to wait for shitty microbrands to use the Seiko-movement. None of these microbrands improve the quality of the seiko
The value of channels like this is all the knowledge gained by handling the watches (plus the experience of having handled so many others previously). As the channel and shop’s success grows, Thanks to these guys maintaining their humble beginnings, giving the transparent BAD as well as good.
Thank you Dan! This comment means a lot. Enjoy your Saturday
@Seosamh Pádraig Ó Dubhthaigh I figured you're a troll, grow up and stop making yourself a target for people to laugh at.
I have to agree with you, TB has handled so many watches that you would be nuts not to at least consider his opinion
Teddy has outstanding taste. He doesn't follow the crowd, he finds good picks across various price ranges, and can qualify precisely in terms of both design and technical aspects why he likes something. I enjoyed this.
He sells most of what he picks, no?
@@michaeljordan6008 That came after, he's been talking about these types of watches long before he started his online AD business

Teddy, please Never change like the other big watchfluencers. I appreciate and enjoy your channel so much for being so versatile and not milking Rolex in every video, going with the hype etc.
Thanks Teddy for keeping the spirit of amateur watch collectors like us very high ☺️
indeed
The Miyota 9075 “true” GMT movement also deserves an honorable mention, in my opinion. Perhaps the Bulova watch with which it was released isn’t for everyone, but we are beginning to see more and more watches being manufactured with that movement, which is great for those who want a truly affordable “true” GMT watch.
What is GMT?
Took the words out of my mouth. As microbrands start to roll this movement out I see it stealing a lot of the thunder from Seiko.
This year I obtained my basic and advanced open water scuba diving certifications and started looking into dive watches, and found your channel.

Seiko SKX007
This is fantastic! Happy to help out here and thanks for the support.
The second hand sweep of that grand Seiko gmt is absolutely buttery smooth
Spring drive.
Its a continuous sweep so should be like butter!
Let’s be honest with ourselves guys. We only can seriously consider the affordable option, and the other ones are purely for dreaming 😂😂😭
Well spending mostly 50k max. I’d probably cap out at for the future. I’m looking at a Cartier Tank/ Santos. Or something similar.
I started my hobby this year with a Seiko Sports 5 and a Seiko Pepsi Turtle. Both have the same 4R36 movement. I doubt becoming a collector but definetely considering my next timepiece with more power reserve ( a Seiko Baby Alpinist or a Hamilton Khaki Field Auto). Thanks Teddy for delivering helpful videos to starters like me and greetings from Germany!
Longines has a lot of pieces with 72 hr power reserves, as do Tissot and Rado with 80 hrs. Tissot is on the more affordable side of those three companies, with Longines and Rado being "entry-level" luxury brands
My first year being an enthusiast. Appreciate all the work, Teddy.
Teddy, i love that you respect all watches and all brands at every price point! Wish you the absolute best success and luck in 2023!
That FP Journe is simply sublime! I had never seen one before so thank you for showing it!

Just rolled the dice on the seiko, it’s brilliant. Wanted a GMT for years and when these came along at the price point you just can’t go wrong
For me its the Grand Seiko GMT. So beautiful but also seems very wearable and not too flashy.
That Seiko GMT, along with the Junghans; wow! Thank you, Teddy.
That Grand Seiko GMT is beautiful!
That Bretling is a great watch. So happy to see them going in this other direction.
Thanks for making the time and effort to present another comprehensive watch survey.
The Hamilton Khaki Field "Murph" edition must be a special edition for the movie Interstellar. They used the Hamilton Field watch in the movie and the watch ended up being a very important part in the story. And the character who used the watch was named Murphy or "Murph" for short.

I did not realize 2022 (and 2021) was such an exciting year for the industry. Thank you for the quality of this step back video! See u in 2023
This is great! I’d love to see some women’s watches you think made waves this year Teddy. We might be small in numbers but we love your content too 😊
I have an Omega that was bought in Germany by my father in 1958. Had it served in St.Ignace Michigan last year. Beautiful watch, but I never wear it out. My go to pieces are my Tissots. They are amazing watches

Very comprehensive Teddy, considering the length of the video, the content and wait was worth it. Well done!
Flicking right from the SPB143 to the Pelagos just really highlighted how much nicer looking the Seiko is.
Another great video. You have one of the best watch channels out there. Not outrageous, flashy, no controversy.

I think the Christopher Ward Bel Canto was the most unique release in 2022. How often do you chime complications?
Great video, thanks. I recently purchased the NY0154-51L and couldn’t be happier.
Thank you, Teddy! You are a treasure of the watch journalism. I doubt there is a watch enthusiast who doesn’t love your videos. Merry Christmas!
From a 500 dollar watch to a six figure watch. Great variety in taste and price, as usual. Appreciate the hard work you and the squad put in! It feels like there is a new video everyday lol. (My murph is on its way to me now!)

I don't own any Longines watches, but I think that telemeter dial chrono is stunning. Probably my favourite on this list.
My favorite of the year is the pistachio b09. Would go nice with my vintage 806! Need to see it in person soon.

Great video as usual. I too got the Seiko 5 GMT and did a review on it. But my heart yearns for the Longines. They've been doing great work the past few years helped by their library of designs for years ago.
Hello Teddy, I owned two of your choice in last month, Seiko Prosprex Diver and Longines Zulu Time GMT before watching this RUclips. Proof that I have the right choices.
Thank you.
Thoughts on the new Timex expedition north titanium? On paper sounds pretty decent for $350. Titanium, 200M, Sapphire Crystal, auto with hacking. Interesting competition for Hamiltion fields!
Love teddy! great options awesome content very knowledgeable person and very stylish, btw Teddy where’s that jacket from??
Love the Longines GMT, but it looks (design-wise) almost identical to the Tag Heuer Autavia Isograph and Autavia Isograph GMT.
I could have imagined the Bel Canto finding its way into the Most Unique Watches Category
Great channel. My favourite here is that green dialled Brietling, just perfection. On the more affordable side, have you done anything on Farer?
I bought my Tudor BB58 with the black dial on bracelet just a week ago. I'm just love it, really cool watch! 🙂
Thank you for this great review of the watches of the year. I learn every with your videos. I understood that i have underestimated, during 30 years, great brands like TUDOR and TISSOT. On the other side i am happy to see that all my favorite watches are in your TOP 10 : Longines, BREITLING, BREGUET and i forget one (my GOD) .
a mechanical watch homaging a smart watch .. that's something that never crossed my mind!
what a video .. thanks!
My Seamaster is the model worn by Pierce Brosnan in his first Bond outing. It is the only quartz in my collection and I love it because of the connection to Brosnan's Bond. Pierce might not have been the best Bond but for my money he was the most fun.
Thank you for getting me into the world of watches love the videos
Happy Holidays Teddy. All these watches look great by the way, you're the best.
Merry Christmas to you Teddy and tanks for this years
Cheers
I have the gmt Seiko in silver I love it, it's keeps great time too, maybe 3s fast a day
Absolutely great video Teddy, really been looking forward to this one and it didn’t disappoint one bit 👌🏼
Great video overall. Wish the BB pro got more coverage than the quick shot out. The thickness is subjective and deff a non issue, as I have a small wrist and have the pro and it still wears like a dream.
Wish you also covered the new Grand Seiko SBGW287 Boshū in the dress section, as it was released this Oct/Nov and had a super killer burgundy dial. Maybe a new video showcasing the SBGW 231 and their four seasons line?
Orient Bambino....such a classy piece yet so affordable....Big like
Great wrap-up of your favorite watches and have a Merry Christmas!
I very much like how this video ranges from, "I can get one of these" to "someday." It shows how a watch doesn't need to be expensive to be interesting.
No Christopher Ward Bel Canto?
Got the SSC819 last week and I just love it, although it looks a little bit small on my almost 7.5" wrist...
while the SSC813 looks like a tribute to the daytona, the SSC819 looks more like a smaller tribute to the omega speedmaster moonwatch, and it is an absolute strap beast
I can’t believe you left the CW belcanto off the list!
The Apple Watch homage is brilliant!
FANTASTIC video! That Seiko chronograph ROCKS!
Why don't you do more digital watches etc. Certainly opens up a new avenue. Would love to see more of the Casio line. Would love to see some Edifice too
This is a great video filled with assessment and guidance for watch lovers, my compliments to Mr Baldassare
The Junghans Meister Kalendar Moon is a homage watch to the JLC Master Control moon each. Even the color of the dial is almost the same.
Thank you for all the awesome content this year Teddy!! ❤️
How about the redesigned Breitling Superocean? That watch came out and just completely fell off the radar as far as i can tell.
Ya, bad timing with current market conditions maybe?
25:51 I'm really surprised that the dial can look fully white depending on the lighting
This is now my favourite watch channel on RUclips , such great content and done superbly, well done sir and I got my favourite watch at amzwatch， it hasn’t left my wrist for weeks
Awesome vid Teddy, really appreciate the “off brands” you bring to light at all price ranges, keep it up
