My wife gifted me the Mido Multifort Patrimony almost one year ago, and I couldn't be more happy with it. The way the blue sunburst catches the eye in certain lighting gives it the feel and pedigree of a watch several times its price. Purchased through TB as well! Thanks, Teddy!

I like that micro brands get their fair share of stage time on that channel

[jackholmes]

Baby Alpinist is one of the most slept on Seiko. I like it more than the SPB121 tbh

13:24 Laco watch, with Japanese movement? Now just add an Italian leather band and you got yourself a true WW2 watch lmao

I am discovering that straps and bracelets have a big role in versatility. Bracelets being the most versatile, rubber straps for sporty and casual, and leather straps for formal occasions. The PRX is the winner, in my opinion, because you can easily change the straps and the PRX straps are reasonably priced at $60.

Teddy mentioning Lorier a few times recently makes me so happy! Love their brand! I have a Falcon and a Hydra Zulu edition myself!

I agree on the Tissot Gentleman. It's a fantastic first 'serious' watch. I still very much enjoy wearing mine.

My last five sub-$1000 watches:
• Seiko SARX029 Urushi dial
• Bulova Lunar Pilot blue panda
• Seiko 5 Sports Landshark
• Seiko Presage Style 60s GMT Fume
• Seiko Prospex Turtle

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!

[antoniomelopinho]

Have the Hamilton auto 38 and the seiko spb 119, found it a little less confusing and versatile than the spb121. Congrats on the new boutique!

Hey teddy loved the video and great recommendations! One small correction though at 8:45, the Timex marlin jet doesn’t have a small seconds subdial, it’s actually a 24 hour subdial. Just thought I’d throw that out there!

[asoaresjr]

The Baltic Aquascaphe would have been my choice at this price point

Tens of hours learning about "go everywhere" watches under 1k and found one gem, that my wife will present me as an anniversary gift - Tissot Gentleman Powermatic 80 Silicium. That will be my first swiss made watches. And most of the info i got from Teddy here.. So congrats on opening your store, Teddy, and many many luck to you in your journey!

I just got into watch collecting. I've loved watches since I was young but I never had anyone teach me or bring deeper into the world. amzwatch brought closer to a community and hobby I always wanted to get into more and that is incredibly meaningful to me !

[MadalinaPollo]

got my 39mm with the white dial on the 3-link "Bader" bracelet watch on AMZWATCH 3 weeks ago and am loving it to pieces. Absolute fantastic watch that wears super comfortable on my 6.75 inch wrist. Chose the 3-link over the 5-link bracelet for the toolless quick adjustment. Way more comfortable than my Longines Hydroconquest 41 mm.

Happy to see you grow and having a store name after you happy for you teddy ❤️❤️❤️

Citizen Garrison. Sub 500$, titanium, solar, sapphire crystal.

[markhondaturbo]

My wife gifted me a couple years ago the Laco Augsburg Blaue Stunde which has a blue sunburst type a dial and a grey nato strap. It is beautiful, and you are right about the case finishing being the same as their $1000 pieces. The lume is awesome on this watch, also.

[VijShuaibi]

My watch was purchased 2 years ago from MAMACOO and, to this day, it still looks and runs as well as it did the day it arrived. That movement has never missed a beat despite never having been serviced. I can't complain about that.

I have the Powermatic 80 black dial 40mm and the Murph 42mm. I wear the Powermatic more because the bracelete is super comfortable but i love both. Great value for the money.
