The Moonswatch commentary is hysterical. 😂😂😂😂

[alvinmick]

The format, the script, and the good natured hilarity combined with informative commentary is what makes this channel so much fun to watch! The Casio GA-2100 and the Casio Duro are tremendous choices on their own and when you consider that nearly everyone can buy them without undue hardship, that’s really quite fantastic! Very well done 🥃 22:43

I lived with a g shock on my wrist for the last 15 years of my military career. Broke two and ceremonially retired the 3rd when I retired. Now I like the shinier stuffs.

[Chiller]

Any channel that reviews Patek Philippe, Jaeger LeCoultre, Cartier, Rolex etc but manages to enunciate “boobs & farts” in an RP English accent and in the same episode is my kind of channel.

Big fan of the Citizen Eco Drive Promaster watches. Have a 13-14 year old Carbon and just picked up an Aqualand - which seems like an updated version of the Carbon. Just solid chunks of steel with great performance and no need for battery.

[karlsenula]

Orient Bambino and/or Kamasu should be one here as should a Vostok Amphibia and any watch with an ST19 movement (Seagull 1963?). Also probably a Citizen Promaster Ecodrive.

Citizem is giving tissot prx run for the money not seiko (what integrated bracelet seiko is as known as tissot prx)

I have the G-Shock GM2100C-5A, this is the new metal Casioak with a positive display, contrasted dual, and nylon strap, and it’s awesome. I threw on a standard black rubber strap on it and it’s my daily driver, and I get compliments on it.

Citizen Eco drive watches are a must for all watches collectors

[BeckVMH]

I’ve owned other G-Shocks but the Casioak is highly recommended. Still cheap (edit: better said, "inexpensive" as nothing cheap about the quality) and lower profile GA-2100 makes a great beater watch, nice looking and typical durability. I recommend the white indices as I have. The “blacked out” version isn’t as easy to read according to a few owners I’ve talked with, makes sense.

I just gave in to peer pressure and got me one o'them G-Shock metal watches (the dark olive green one)...but I have absolutely no idea how to set the little LCD part. As such, it says something completely different to the hands. I'm currently doing my level best to not let it bother me, and I'm sure I'll get around to wearing it outside the house...one day.

Baltany needs to be in there somewhere. Great watches for the price.

[roycantu]

I bought a Hamilton Khaki mechanical for work but it caught my sons eye. He now owns it. Good starter watch for my 13 yo

[Drakewyrm]

The Twelve definitely took inspiration from the Omega AT as well. The hands and especially the hour markers are very similar.

[Valera_Scotland]

The banter is off the scale. You two are hilarious cheeky chappies 😂

[yermanoh]

if i get another gshock people will begin to think theres something wrong with me

[elzafir]

I'd include the Bulova Lunar Pilot, Citizen Tsuyosa, Laco Aachen/Augsburg and Seiko Prospex King Turtle/King Samurai in this list. For $350 you can get a proper moonwatch, an automatic integrated bracelet sports watch, a flieger watch from the one of the four original manufacturers, or a professional ISO certified dive watch, all with in-house movements, except for the Laco, which uses Miyota movement (Bulova is owned by Citizen and uses a Bulova-branded modified 6S20 movement by Miyota, which is a part of Citizen Group, ergo, in-house), and all from brands with more than 100 years of heritage (except Laco, which is 98 years old, but will be in 2 years).

[_Ka-Bar_]

No collection can include only one G-Shock. It's unheard of!

[MiguelBricaBrac]

Should have talked about how the QTimex seconds hand hits all the markers. Checked out 6 of them and all of them hit the markers. Fantastic for the price.

HMT Janata, Orient Bambino, Timex Weekender, nearly any Zelos, Vostok Amphibia, Casio G Shock dw5600, Bulova Hack, Citizen Pro Master (auto or eco drive), nearly any Baltic, and your personal choice of Mr Jones Watches.
