Awesome tier list. Would love to see another OFFICIAL tierlist of affordable watch brands. (Casio, Seiko etc.)

[curtbrown]

I feel that Lange deserves “Devine”status for their extraordinary attention to ornate detail. Thank you!

[jagdeshbirdi]

Would you do a part 2 with affordable watch brands sub $2-3000 maybe? Include Seiko, Hamilton, Oris, Nomos, Rado, Tissot, Orient, etc? OOORRR a micro-brand tier list!?

[JOELLZE]

You should do a part 2 for brands you could not include since it’d be too long! Here’s some that got left out - Seiko, FP Journe, Jacob & Co, RM, Casio, Oris, Tissot, Nomos, Breguet

[rahulbakshi]

Tag Heuer’s new aquaracer is a game changer !

I got into an argument with my wife about Cartier being a jewelry brand.

Ultimately, her argument was, if you are a woman into watches, Cartier is the best brand out there that 1) you can buy easily 2) is not covered in diamonds, 3) not pink and 4) isn't overly large. I see her point now. I feel like many watch brands have patronizing design strategies when it comes to women's watches. Having tried some in person, I like the Santos more and more, especially the all black model. I'm not sure I'd ever buy one unless my salary gets a couple more zeros added to it. Men are more spoiled for choice when it comes to wristwatches, and I'd probably prioritize other brands.

Also, your AP criticism is 100% on point.

Thank you for finally making the official watch ranking video Britt! 🔥

[RasmusF]

Breitling is on a roll - many great new models 💪

[AlbertusMagnus_]

“Rolex is indisputably the best.” Hmmm….. I might be inclined to dispute that. 😎⌚️🥃

[thehistoryprof]

Agree with the positive nod to the Longines Dolce Vita rectangular. I recently purchased the 43x27, silver dial with Arabics and blue hands, semi gloss black alligator strap. The only challenge is winding that beautiful non knurled crown, but solved that using a latex glove. Alas, it's a definite keeper ! Another charming and light hearted review Britt. Well done 👍.

FYI, even though this movement isn't cosc certified mine runs at a plus 6 to minus 6 over 6 positions.

[ByteReview]

No Nomos 😭 Where would you have placed it do you think?

[andreaswielandt]

how I love your AP rating!!! But how A. Lange and JLC do not make divine is beyond me….

[stephenbaumhauer]

Lange under Cartier?! Your love for the brand is clouding your judgement! Haha....No FP Journe?

[johnt]

Great official video!! Always enjoy your content. Thanks!!

[notenoughtime]

Great list
Fun video

Agree with all your rankings, would have put Tag Heuer a little higher on the strength of their recent Carerra Chronograph, along with the timeless appeal of the Monaco.

[masoncusack]

Anyone know the ref of the Seamaster at 4:57? Its beautiful.

[highpoints]

I think Longines is a really very good tier! Despite having a lot of options they carry some that are extremely good.

[beedeviled]

New subscriber. Been working towards a three watch collection. Have Speedmaster, BB 925, and want to add a Cartier. But do I go Tank Must XL or Santos? So torn between these two!

[StandleyHandcrafted]

Nice list.
I absolutely love Zenith and what they’ve been doing the last couple of years.
