The Tissot has a screw down crown. Come on. I can even see the threads as the crown is sticking out.

My Seiko "save The Ocean" Prospex Turtle SRPF77K1 is great too :)

[nickbandz]

Seiko gmt does not have a screw down crown

[leemartin]

I bought the Doxa in yellow on the rubber strap a while back. It’s comfortable, well made, the strap feels very strong in use and made from very good materials, which isnt so obvious from the footage. Just be aware the lume is completely useless, as in not worth having, but it’s a good watch. I’m sure most retailers will offer a discount from the rrp too

[ScottSawaya]

great vid! seiko is so legit! thank the lord I didn't have any money or knowledge when I started collecting, played it safe, and bought a $65 7002 Pepsi as one of my first watches. such a fantastic entry point.

[claptoned]

Great selection, they are all different and very desirable !

[BoozewithNick]

I’d love to see that Sideral as a quartz.

[garysmith]

At 15:50 did you say the 2023 FXD was related to the US Navy ? Is it not the Marine Nationale, which is part of the French Navy ?

[MartinClimbs]

spending the whole june on Mallorca this. do far only rocking my sand/creme colored baltic hermetique tourer on the tropical strap. looks great and is durable on the sand and in the water, feels awesome summery combined with linen and my espadrillos.

just a lovely watch for 500€
couldve made the list, but i understa d that the size and the integrated crown is not for everyone

[Majstroyale]

I already bought a great summer watch. The Seiko Speedtimer Lemon! (SSC929)

[rosaliaaurino]

ho ICHNOS ARCIPELAGO SUPER COMPRESSOR 20atu swiss made è PERFECT per l estate

[rafaelnathanielmabasa]

Great video! Additonally, I think the Aquaracer line from Tag Heuer, as well as the Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra model are also great Summer watches.

[Mayank_Maximum]

Khaki aviation looks like hmt hq304 ngl

[navffit]

Is the farer watch worth the price tag?

[brotherandrew]

A summer watch should not have more than 40 mm in diameter and should be lightweight with fresh colorful dials. Therefore metal bracelets are problematic. So the Tissot would be a candidate for me as well as the Farer. But I can not afford these watches/need this money for something else.

[bigbodykarate]

fk nomos, overpriced garbage . straight up seiko 5 finishing for longine prices .... fk that

[AhavaJava]

That nomos is so tempting. Love this video. Ty!

[unwokeneuropean]

I have a small wrist so 36mm is a very good size. Anything above 38mm is not my cup of tea.

[cerchRU]

I really like the Tissot sideral as a summer watch. The provide just enough color to be fun in a beach setting.

[poloX]

not everyone has the confidence or acquired taste to rock a beads of rice bracelet day-to-day but rocking a high-vis traffic cone on the wrist ISNT hard on the eyes or bold? lmao wtf kind of logic is that man? orange in itself is a BOOOLDD choice, but a beads of rice bracelet is out of your bracket? crazy
