Teddy brings it like a pro every time. No riffraff, low-rent, just class and logic

[palicar]

I love this price range. Usually offers enough quality and is affordable enough to explore freely.

Your videos are literally what got me into this hobby, and I am incredibly grateful for all the information you present in such a sleek and efficient way! It certainly has made my research a lot easier as a great jumping point!

I love my Seiko Arnie, bought on your recommendation. It's not for everyone but I wear mine almost every day. It's super easy to read, comfortable, durable, and has a history to it. I really appreciate that you share a diverse range of watches.

I would like to thank you Teddy. You're a massive reason I became interested in watches almost two years ago. It's still so refreshing to see you visiting the budget end of the watch world. Now more than ever there is some unreal options at the entry level spot. Top tier recommendations as always. Keep up the good work!

One of your best videos yet Teddy. So many watch people focus on high end and unattainable brands, when there's a wealth of great quality watches at these lower price points (especially if you're not a quartz snob!). Showing people they can dip their toes in the water without it being a big investment is terrific.

Thank you so much for featuring us in this great video! Your videos are just the right thing for all watch enthusiasts that want to get into the watch world. Thanks again. All the best from Hamburg, Klara

Everytime I open YouTube you have a new video. You got the grind! Keep cranking them out.

[blkan]

I am amazed by the amount of top quality videos you're able to upload in such a short span of time. Thank you!

[tbrasc]

Nice to see CITIZEN getting some love here. My old Ecodrive chronograph has been a great reliable watch over the last 15 years.

[jakehumphrey]

Here we go, right in my price range. Thanks Teddy and team!

[raygacy]

Love this! Thank you Teddy for inspiring us watch collectors and lovers in continuously creating our own watch collection! 😊👍

Teddy is now my favorite place to first learn about watches with his videos and second to purchase watches from his website. Just purchased the Seiko!

[UmangSardesai]

Teddy -- You should do a full review of Seiko 5 GMT. That itself would then be a home run by you, haha!

[T_SDuarte]

The Tissot Gentleman line is overkill. Excellent quality for the price and, to be honest, there are so many options to choose from that you could add 3 to 4 different styles to you collection just from within its particular catalog.

[NinjaNick]

I just got my first “nice watch”, Tissot Blue dial Gentleman Automatic a few weeks ago. LOVE it and am already hooked on the watch world. The next week I got a Seiko SZS as a daily wear. Then a few days ago bought a Casio GM2100… With a watch box lol. My next watch I’m looking at is a Tudor Black Bay. Appreciate the in depth reviews you give Teddy

[donmongoose]

Really glad you mentioned the Sternglas Asthet, it caught my eye ages ago but could litereally find zero mentions of it and some mixed reviews for their previous models. Its going for considerably cheaper than the price you listed here on their website so I might finally give it a go because its a lovely budget alternative.

I recently bought the Seiko 5 GMT (SSK001) and it is an amazing watch. Has not left my wrist for the past two weeks.

[ChristopherAndersonDP]

I picked up the SRPF53 a few months ago, and I've been loving it ever since. The dial is every bit as beautiful in person, and I was really impressed by the fit and feel of the bracelet (though this is my first watch with a bracelet, so I don't have much to compare it to).

[oz-man]

Thnx Teddy! You have solved me some doubts about Seiko 5 GMT. And Orange looks spectacular in natural light
