Ranking The Most Iconic Watch Brands | Rolex vs Omega vs Casio vs Patek Philippe vs Seiko

Rolex vs Omega vs Casio vs Patek Philippe vs Seiko | The Most Iconic Watch Brand

[asensibleyoungman]

Patek: Multi-millionaires with nowhere left to go.
Rolex: Chavs trying too hard.
Omega: Watch guys but a little bit insecure.
Seiko: Real watch guys who understand their financial limits.
Casio: Watch guys with real wages and no ego.

These videos are a great lesson on the limits of valuing by quantifying.

I'd give Omega one more iconic and quality point tbh

It’s pretty crazy how seiko ranges from affordable to super expensive and luxury. If you think about how many different watches in their catalogue it’s mind boggling really

[rain-bender]

Every time I take off one of my expensive watches and put my Casio F-91W back on, I'm instantly reminded why I wear my Casio 99% of the time. I even sleep with it on my wrist ffs. It's the best watch in the entire history of watchmaking.

Patek Philippe should never get a 10 for street cred, most people would think a Nautilus was a submarine let alone a watch.

Casio quality to the offering price should be rank at 9 or 10 in my opinion..their under 30USD watch such as Casio Royale AE 1200 have 10 year battery and WR 100..With Casio Duro either MDV 106 or 107 with under 50 USD you have 200WR Diver watch with unidirectional bezel with sleek finish and sunburst dial..Man, with price and quality Casio will never be wrong!

Would love to see a comparison between the holy trinities (Patek, AP, VC and even A.Lange). Thanks for the awesome stuff Tom and Andrew!

[toddblake]

I have to say I agree with the rankings. I hope in the future, Grand Seiko would be considered separately but as they are relatively new compared to the iconic brands ranked, I will remain unbiased. Great job!

I think you both were spot on and fair.
In my eyes, rolex and omega are equally good.
Seiko is deserved second. I have more seiko powered watches than any other.
PP is definitely the winner.
Casio is the cheapest brand of the group, but I don't agree with the score. Have you seen a Mr.G. the new MR-G frogman is 4000 bucks.
I've seen special editions touching 10000. I wish you had shown some of the MR-G range. Just for some that don't know. I was surprised it wasn't mentioned because they are awesome.
Otherwise, I think you both did a good job.
Thank you again for the great video review.

5/10 for quality for Casio? You guys DEFINITELY need to get your hands on something from Casio's Japan-only Oceanus line. Impeccably finished titanium with Zaratsu polishing for under $1k, and the >$1k ones are even better. Sure it says a naughty word on the dial by way of the brand name, but that only makes it that much more fun.

Seriously, please find an Oceanus or two and do a video on it! I think Casio deserves a much higher score here, but I'd settle for a standalone OCW-T5000 video review, or anything else they make!

> I GIVE RANK 1. OMEGA 2. ROLEX 3. SEIKO 4. PATEK PHILIPPE 5. CASIO ❤❤❤❤❤❤

A Casio G-Shock GW-5000U wipes the floor the my book.

[MrEricErejo]

Personally, one of the things I'd use to determine street cred is whether a watch is frequently name dropped in rap songs.
So, basing on that, I'd say Patek has high street cred.

[WILLNOTCOMPLY]

Seiko and Omega with Casio as my play watch.

[lemonlime]

Loving the multiple shots of a 5296g. Everyone saying it’s overrated or they’d get something else(longline/omega/etc). I still am in love and will continue to love my Patek Philippe 5296g001

[opykanoba]

Some Casio Edifice are very well made !

[darkeye]

Dude. Seiko is so horribly misaligned it’s a meme. They have no QC. Their movements are sold with insanely high ranges of gain/loss. They sell watches with mineral crystal for $500. I’m sorry, but they just do not represent either good value or good quality at all. A decade ago, maybe, but now. Hell no.

[jim]

On Seiko you did mention The Seiko Alpinist . If you had shown that watch Seiko would have one. I have the steel Green with a leather strap. On eye appeal, it is right there with Rolex.
if that watch came with a high movement, It could have been sold for $3500. I have no problem with this movement but it is all perception I look down at this watch and it says wear me.
I own several Omega watches. Three are 18k rose gold. I love them. But this $650 watch has grabbed me.

I think if it's strictly the most 'iconic' then it's between Rolex and Casio, and they arguably both are in their own right, but there's no contest with the others. All great brands but none of the others have the same name recognition with the masses.
