My casio makes me feel like bin laden
😂
🤣
..or Obama?
The F91-w I presume
😂
Wearing my G-Shock makes me feel like a contractor. So I agree.
I have a stainless G-Shock watch since 1980 something. Incredible and bulletproof.
Lmfao first thing when I thought of this video was a G-Shock 😂😂 wearing my GBX-100 right now, what’s your model?
I wear a Steinhart Ocean 39 snowflake sub, it makes me feel like a 90s operator.
I wore a GW-M5600 for over 10 yrs for work.It's 'retired' now and lives on my window sill.@@Daniel_Marazzato
Can confirm. I don't wear a G-Shock and I also don't feel like a contractor.
The irony is, a tool watch like a Submariner is no longer a "worker's watch".
True 😢
I wear a £50 Rolex Submariner homage. Makes me feel like a great pretender.Which I am.
It never was a workers watch
A submariner is an "investment asset watch".
Tbh even a higher end G Shock is more fashion than utility now?
My Casio makes me feel like a mercenary

true, my casio calculator watch makes me feel like a true drug dealer.
You're lying. You don't wear your Casio calculator on your skin like I do with my GameBoy.
Now, say my name.
@@ciuwandy9238 But he wears a TAG HEUER.
I am a basic nobody who doesn't get out a lot, but when I do I insist on rocking a nice watch. It's my little way of telling myself that I am worth it.
You are you!
Shouldn't put Your worth in jewelry. Watches are overrated. Just buy any watch that looks good for You, even if it costs only 30$. Silver or gold color, based on Your other jewelry.
@@arty_lerry7730 Absolutely, luxury watches are the luxury makeup for women. A good product has a reasonable price, a "luxury" product, which makes exactly the same function as the good one, justifies their price on the ego need for being "part of that exceptional group".
You are not nobody. You are precious and worthy in your own way. ❤
Oh my goodness Me too except my watch was literally 10.99 from Walmart But it is a pretty blue with brass? Deep rose gold details I wear it so I can leave my phone behind to events I love that it is so pretty It makes going out extra special
I wear an "old school" mechanical watch because it's a single function device. Basically I'm "giving the finger" to this overcomplicated, digital culture that is constantly running at faster and faster speeds. It does one thing...and something about that is rather elegant.
And tell me, what device are you watching this on? Where did you buy/research this watch?
@@hochspannunglebensgefahr5339 wah wah wah
@@user-pn3im5sm7k you are too if you agree with him
ignore the children mocking. I agree.
@@michaelkaiser1864 you wrote that comment on an electronic device. Hypocrite
I got myself an automatic watch last year and I love wearing it. There's something about having this little analogue, mechanical piece of fine technology on your wrist; sometimes I just like to look at it working, marvelling about the ingenuity of this little apparatus.
They used to call it self winding watches. They are a real pleasure.
Nope, whenever i take it off, it stops! so next time i put it on the time is wrong, and the date is wrong, meaning I have to wind through 24 hrs or more to correct it. My Seiko PADI mostly lives in its box now, and my Tissot or Longines get to be worn.
I’ve been wearing my dads Rado Diastar Automatic for the last 20 years since he passed away,
Great watch and even greater meaning!
And you must be Indian? Because the Diastar is just so ubiquitous there, it's not even funny. Everyone there wears a gold Diastar if they have money.
@@g43654yes my parents are from that region , We settled in uk 🇬🇧 .
@@g43654Unfortunately there are a lot of cheap but rather good fakes too. Maybe even more than genuine ones !
Same here. Have my father's Diastar, and subsequently bought 5 other Rados. Lol, yeah I'm indian.
A £10 Casio F-91W is all you really need, but there's a big difference between need and want.
💯 Its just so useful its hard to wear an expensive diver.
That watch is as useless as cheap! It looks amazing but it lacks a lot of features like a bezel that rotates
@@omarbegreen for 10 dollars dont expect a lot also it has some function to it
@@omarbegreenwhat use does a rotating bezel have that a cheap casio doesn't? World time, not that model but others do Dive time, just use the stopwatch or countdown timer Plus many are solar and have atomic time
A bezel that rotates with a lume píp in case you need a countdown function and no hands free to push a button
I am a woman who loves classic watches ❤ I personally love wearing them, they are just so unique and interesting.
This man and I live in a different world
Real
We all live in the same world, but we all THINK & FEEL in different ones.
This is the best 'trust me broo' I've heard so far thank you.
😂
This has SNL vibes when watching it 😂
I mean it's true, what you wear effects how you feel, and how you perceive yourself. Actors consider this when wearing their costumes and brands consider this when selling things to you.
@tahsina.c I don't think you're wrong per se. In the past, there was probably a good statistical correlation between intelligence, competence, and dressing a certain way. However today, so many people go out of their way to be flashy with wealth, independent of whether or not they are actually wealthy. The simulation of the message has overcome the orignal message.
@@tahsina.cit's..... All an act
I have worn my Timex Expedition for over 3 years now. I love it because it's straightforward, simple, but also tells me the date of the month. It helps me feel a bit rugged and adventurous. It was also a gift from my parents, so it has a lot of sentimental value especially now that my mom has passed.
I had the Timex Expedition Tide. I loved and regret giving it away
I have a super boring job and it can get depressing BUT I always feel better when I take a few seconds and look at my wrist watch! Thank you, Tag Hauer and Bulova!
Lmao
I think you should get another job if its too depressing. Life is short and will be mooore shorter if you are depressed everyday
My late father's 1972 gold J W Benson is my ultimate dress watch. His once cherished possession deserves to be with me whenever I am dressed up in my best.
This is basically an advert for selling watches. Women like a nice looking watch but most don't know much about them, so putting on an expensive watch is probably not going to impress her. And if it does then she is thinking about the wrong thing: money.
all of them @@allen_p
Who cares about what other people like or notice? It's what the wearer wants and likes. 😅
Ladies have to have their own money to be considered by me.
I think the video is more like how the watches makes the wearer feel, not what women think abt the watch you wear...
This is a video about the psychology effects of watches. This is not an alpha m. Video where did you get lost😂
Whenever I wear my leather Seiko watch I feel more put together and I actually save a lot of time ! It reminds me that my energy is time ❤
I wasn’t a watch wearer, and then a good friend of mine gave me a Rolex for Christmas two years ago. I first didn’t feel worthy of such a thing, but hey guess what - now I’m a watch guy!
You got good friends 😂
@@aantigatavernabloody good friends. Mine gave me a Cadbury’s Crème Egg. I couldn’t tell the time with it, but it tasted nice
@@PhilbyFavouritesThey taste so nice that I lick the inside of the foil .
If a friend gave me a Rolex for Christmas I would have so mamy questions I wouldn't know which one to ask first. "Bro, did you steal it? " "Are you gay?" "if you're not gay then why are you trying to get in my pants?" "How much can I get for this at the pawnbroker?" "Is it ok if I just buy you a beer for Christmas?" "What outfit do i wear to match the watch and can you lend me money to buy it?" "Does this mean I have to join the yacht club?" You get the idea.
@@DasGigPig Since you asked, I took a chance and hired him as a young leader years ago and coached & developed him to become a very high level manager that he is today. Him nor I are gay, but he has a high level of appreciation for me helping him advance in his career. He gave me a Rolex out of respect for the help I’ve given him and his family to live the life they have today.
I purchased a $25 sport watch in 2020 and I have used it in super important events these 3 years. Travel to Europe, went to dates with it 😅, learning to drive… etc I still have it and I love it.
Timex or Casio?
@@dennischen8887 maybe Armitron?
That's what i did when i was 15/16 too! So much fun and so cheap you don't have to be all careful. Rock it😎
I grew up in poverty and never had a watch until my grandfather gave me a modest one for my high school graduation. It was beautiful. It made me feel powerful. However, as years went on in the working world, my watch started causing me a lot of anxiety. I became obsessed with what time it was, how much time I had left to get a task done, etc. I was counting every minute. I hated the watch and I hated work. So one morning, I left my watch at home. The day went by with ease. The anxiety of a formal schedule was gone. I felt peace! That was 1983. I’ve never worn one since. Of course now we have clocks on our smart phones. But I rarely even look at that either. 😊
For several years I stopped using a calendar and watch, just to feel free. However, at times a watch is very practical, and it lets you keep track of time in a discrete way. Even having a phone out in the open during a meeting or social event, sends a message that you are not giving the other person(s) your full attention. (At a dinner it's downright bad manners.) Interestingly, my millenial daughter began wearing a watch in her teens, for the same reasons I mentioned. I'm the happy owner since 40 years of a Breitling. No one can really tell, but yes, it does make me feel very well dressed. It does add a tiny bit of self confidence.
As a high school teacher I wear my Bulova Marine Star. It seems to garner a sense of seriousness and respect not to mention a conversation piece with students.
I just got one for my birthday a few weeks ago. Some watch critics say Bulova is dead but I like this watch a lot.
@@bernardocoto8519i have one, a dress watch. I feel proud wearing it.
Its a great watch!
Do you know what else accomplishes that? Wearing a suit to work rather than dressing casually like modern school teachers do.
@@LuckyCharms777Too wasteful lol
My 60s mechanical Flica watch holds a bittersweet significance for me. It was my paternal grandmother's, a woman I never knew. She worked at the Geneve Flica factory before the quartz crisis and passed away when my dad was only 12. Her watch is the only link I have to her, and its ticking hands remind me to treasure the time I have before it too runs out. My dad gave it to me the day I got my technical degree as a touristic guide. I find talking about the watch and its history is a great way to connect with other watch enthusiasts and somehow sometimes it starts amazing and deep conversations about other topics with fascinating people.
My parents bought me a children’s Timex and taught me how to tell time when I was only three years old and made me responsible for reporting home to them at required times. It made me feel mature all those decades ago when we were still free were free range children and all the other children were running wild and weren’t taught yet.
If you love a case, try changing the strap / bracelet / chain. Itll totally change how it make you feel
This is the best, intelligent introduction to the joys and categories of watch that I have yet heard - bravo!
No, it's pompous BS that sounds intellectual. This video sucks.
The fact is a watch is reminding you important situations in your life. That is important to you and gives you happiness and motivation.
True. Anytime I am wearing my Omega Moonwatch, I am feeling victorious. This is why I would wear it to any important event. When putting on my Seiko Arnie, I feel like an Action hero. Which is why this is my choice for the Gym. I love this 😎👍🏻🦅
Aukat hai kya jhatya
Those things are works of art
Why not a Garmin or something else that gives you useful fitness information like heart rate?
I have my father's Omega Speedmaster (the moonwatch). I used to wear it every day, but now I'm back living in London, I don't dare.
@@skyeiv8471 A Garmin is not a watch.
Nowadays a watch is just an accessory to your outfit, we all carry a phone that tells time and date. Personally I own one do it all watch, which I keep changing the straps to match the outfit, occasion and personal mood. It’s fun and surprisingly women notice it and give positive feedback.
Casio still has my heart - A168 for dress watch, F-91 For Sport Watch (because it's literally weightless) and AE1200WH For Tool Watch. I didn't even spend 1/100 of the cost of any of those other watches and it does the job :) But well explained.
Wow. Great choice. I also do that for my digital watches. But I also have Orient Bambino for dress watch, Seiko 5 SNZG for sport and field watch and Citizen Fugu for tool watch 😂😂
A700 vintage it's gorgeous
Casio is underrated I just found out how amazing/ lowkey they look
a168 is such an all rounder. It goes very well with any outfit😊
I remember my white faced Casio. I remember that I would often forget that I even had it on. This may have been back in the 80s. It was analog with a small digital timer.
Narcissists are the easiest people in the world to sell to. You just have to play to their pathological insecurities which is exactly what this presenter does. The guy in this video is the best sales man I've seen in years.
Watches and watch collecting is a whole sub-culture going back Cartier or before. If you're a car collector or guitar collector are you a Narcissist? From $10.00 to 1 million dollars , if you like it and can afford it? What difference does it make? If you collect Michael Jordan sneakers and only display them, or wear the reissues while having originals in a display case at home, you're a Collector. Watches are just time pieces, including the newest Apple watch. But it and wear it if you like it.
And those that argue that they're not narcissistic have a complex.
I dont agree that the watch people are narcissts but i agree that this salesman leans into the insecurties of men. I thought this video was going to be science based, studies on the effect of quickly looking at the time, but not your phone. Nope, just a dude trying to sell me something.
@@naturesfinest2408 you people are crazy he's literally just giving fashion advice
@@RobotronSage ahhhahaha okay
Excellent clip. Thanks for putting the effort into producing something as interesting and engaging. 👏🏻
I wear a titanium Citizen eco-drive dive watch. I had no intention or desire to go diving with it. I just wanted a maintenance free watch that was durable as I hated the cheap watches I’ve had in the past that broke after a short while.
A watch is a statement piece to others that time is important to you... and (more importantly to me) to not waste mine. It is essential daily wear for any serious adult.
Lol not a watch person no wonder I am always late 🤣🤣
That's the corniest thing I've ever read
A watch is one of the most personal items we have and experiences all that we experience. I have a number of vintage watches to the 1920s to 1960s that I love and even wear. I wish they could talk, telling the good, the bad, the sad and so much more, of the former owner(s) and their experiences. I feel a connection just holding them.
Well presented Nicholas. I have a lot of watches. But the Fears Brunswick Salmon spoke to me. I now have it to celebrate the first year anniversary of my company I created last year and it will always be with me.
Excellent description, whenever I wear my Tudor I feel taller
Me too! (Ranger).
I concur. There is a sharp psychological contrast between my Hamilton Khaki Aviation and my Omega Seamaster 300. The Hammy is for 'tooling' around, where the Omega is about business and when writing big cheques.
I love my Seiko Flightmaster. I use it for every occasion and falls into every category mentioned in this video!
I agree. I am wearing a Flik Flak watch and it goes with every outfit and occasion. It's not just a wrist piece; it's a vibe. The way those seconds tick is like a personal soundtrack to my day, keeping me on beat in this crazy world. It's not just about telling time; it's about owning it - with style. Flik Flak, my time-telling wingman, making every moment count.
A wrist watch is one of the few pieces of jewelry / adornments a man can wear without screaming - "this guy is wearing jewelry!" A lady can (and perhaps be expected to) wear jewelry to go with the occasion and dress - ear rings, necklace, rings, etc. add to the look on a well dressed woman. If a man wears more than a signet ring - even tie tack it more often brings down the look and even the status of an otherwise well dressed gentleman.
No kidding. Men get looked down for wearing necklaces after age 30, especially after age 40, especially if you are out of shape. People think you're a sleazeball trying to relive your glory years, while women can wear necklaces and other jewelry until they are over 100. Watches are the only piece of jewelry a male can wear when he's 5 and 105.
Consequences of the saddest part of fashion history. After XIX century men fashion refused all the fancy stuff (heels, makeup, color, jewelry...), leaving it for the women exclusively, on a try to make higher and lower class men more akin between them. I mean, they achieved it, now all men look the same in every fancy event lol
Yes! I don't know why but it always weirds me out when I see men wear heavy chains on their necks or wrists. Even rings other than wedding bands. 😖 No me gusta!
You are denying yourself and others of the pleasure of a nice silver or gold chain around the wrist. Wear something because you like it, let not fear be your ruler.
Watches are very educational. The first watch I ever bought for myself prompted a formative (for me) discussion with my mother about our different philosophies about fiscal responsibility, specifically our personal views on the nature of risk evaluation when deciding whether to make an investment.
😂 this comment needs more appreciation
@@a04828450 I think I might have been in snooty mode when I wrote it. Sorry for that. At least it's entertaining.
When I see a dude with a wristwatch and he checks the time on his phone. I know that dude has no idea what he's doing. He has no clue how to utilize his tools.
Best watch etiquette explanation I've seen
Some people don't think about it, just buy a watch and wear it to tell the time. Simple!
Same. I agree. In German we say to Such a speech "Dummquatsch" 😅
This kind of BS language is typical of high net worth marketing. If the presenter was wearing a Motörhead T-shirt, sat in a garage telling you this, you wouldn’t believe him.
Pure class and sophistication! Great explanation
This is brainwashing
You definitely described what i feel when i wear any of the watches i have. Good job!
of all the hours and hours of watch content I watch a week, this one made me stop and think! great video my friend!
True with any kind of watch, even the basic ones : I remember in the end of the 90s I had to make conferences in front of a lot of people, and I was not really comfortable with that. Then I remembered a teacher I had a year before who was handling the class with a lot of decontraction and humor, I bought the same watch as he used to wear, a simple Swatch irony, and then I succeeded all my presentations. 😂.
I really enjoyed this video and how you explained these things about watches!
I agree with the video, a watch is a way to state your style for the occasion. Even if you are the only one to notice the watch, people are gonna notice you...
This video finally explained to me why I buy and wear countless different watches. I must have Split Personality Disorder!😂
50polar 😅 Im 5polar now 🤣
So you don't wear it against your skin for decades like this guy says
Fun fact, this is one of the only videos on KZhead that plays in the background when you go to another App. Neat! :)
LTT and MKBHD videos do too iirc
@@Alexus00712 how does that work thou? If someone doesn’t have KZhead premium, the video just stops. So how are these channels bypassing that?
they all do if you get youtube premium
This is the best ad I've ever seen for the purchase of an expensive item purely for image - externally perceived or internal 😄 Has me thinking seriously about it, like all of a sudden I went from zero interesting to wanting to go and find the watch that suits me perfectly
Yeah, it's the pinnacle of marketing: pompous BS that sounds intelligent, yet has no actual evidence-based backing.
@@skyeiv8471Thank you. If he wants to sell you a watch, he shouldn't use a misleading title that implies he's going to talk about science backed studies.
Watches are so much important than we think. I noticed that when I was giving information to groups pf people.
My 'daily driver' is a Pulsar quartz, silver face with gold indexes, day and date, with 100m water resistance & on a fine leather strap. I think this falls under the general 'watch' category but on the elegance side. I work in an office all week, but is fine in my workshop at the weekend. Very happy, was a G-Shock guy for years.
Every man should wear a watch...
Bro is waiting for someone to ask him "sell me this pen"
I haven't seen a video that gives so profound and true to the heart advice in under 10 min. Absolutely fantastic advice. How do I end up with this characterisation? By making the same experiences given in this video. Great stuff!
Thank you so much for your kind words! We're thrilled that you found our video insightful and meaningful.
I was on a very rugged 2 week rafting and hiking trip through the deserts of Utah. I wore my Rolex Sub. One of the people on the trip asked me why I'd wear such a valuable watch on a trip like that. I told them it's the most rugged watch I own. I can beat the shit out of it and it just keeps working. The crystal won't scratch, it can go under water and be plunged into mud. It's also been sort of my luck charm. I do have a G shock when I'm in countries doing expeditions where I worry about crime.
When I first got into watches, I would be very strict about what kind of outfit to wear with a certain kind of watch, plus the color coordination between the strap and the outfit. Now I just throw it all out the window and have fun with a watch that contrasts with the outfit.
Like he said, you gotta learn the rules in order to break them
G-Shock fits in most situation except a very formal wear. That's why I chose G-Shock
I hope you still match your metals???
What’s the psychological effect of wearing a watch that says Fears on it?
A young watchmaker named Edwin Fear established a workshop and showroom in 1846 at Nos. 33-35 Redcliff Street in Bristol. It was a family business, so the name "Fears" referring to them the Fears-family. I think the psychological effect of this is feeling proud for being a family member or to pass on the cultural heritage of owning watch, which belongs to an old traditional English family.
I have an old Casio i call Thunderprow. It saw me through decades of my life and weve dived reefs and wrecks together. Its had so many parts replaced at this point that it earned the name. Always a great story to tell about an unassuming cheap watch, and it gives me confidence.
Got my old seiko kinetic recased and banded with my stored, brand new 27yr spares for my sons wedding. Looked slick and unreal. Ive now reversed back to the scratched beatup kit and love it just the same!
My favourite watch is one I got from costco where it had a secret compartment for Nerds like candy during the spy gadget trend
😂😂😂😂
What a great video and what a knowledgeable gentleman
Very informative. Thinking about it, I have different responses when wearing certain watches. And it is fun process. Well done video.
Wearing a large g shock makes me feel like ben 10.
Yeah when I wear my Breitling Navitimer B01 Chronograph 43, It does boost my confidence. It's not a Rolex or a AP but I love it and it does give me boost of confidence.
My father owned antique cars and hardly ever drove them. In My hobby I get to put on my vintage watch and enjoy it all day long. At work for me is playing the violin so the old violin is connected to the arm with the old watch.
Shame cars like watches are made to be used
this vid is a well thought out sales pitch. that said, a watch should reflect the work your involved with. A beater cheap watch for work and field that's reliable and maybe a nicer watch for evenings. its really simple.
Excellent video!! Thank you for your time to explain all these interesting things about watches. I'm a little collector myself. My latest acquisition is a Fossil Rutherford men's watch FS5331. I'm waiting for latest videos about the watch world.
It took me far too long to realize I'm too poor for this video. Still, excellent host/narrator and content. He might look like he's about to chop you into pieces, but other than that I have utmost respect for his ability to really convey good information and for pronouncing yachting correctly (actually I'm too poor to know that for sure as well, but it did sound correct).
You're not too poor for this video! Wealth is not what you own.
I don’t always wear watches, but when I do, I prefer the Wasson Automatic Field Watch. Stay timely, my friends!
I love watches simply because of their function which is useful to me at anytime and have been wearing smartwatches for 5+ years as it connects to my phone where I have more options to what it can do- log workouts, control audio, see calendar etc.. I also appreciate the aesthetic as well, a timeless accessory
I used to strictly wear analog watches and shun digital ones but now I've realized how versatile personal style can really be if you just wear something you like that just works with your outfit. I'm a big fan if Casio watches now and I have a few if the classics including two Royales; one for boys nights, one for work. I still rock my nicer pieces on nights out and at weddings but I'm never afraid to put on my green calculator watch just to have a timepiece. Wear your watch, dont let it wear you.
Yep, it's good to be able to select a watch to reflect a particular 'mood'!

This is true when I wear my Rolex with my suit it adds an extra boost of confidence. For me I’ve always loved dressing up and it was an attire that was a great confident booster but the Rolex with it added an extra kick that fits well.

Be careful where you wear it....
@@kevinh5349I would be embarrassed to wear a Rolex,because it's so common,and stereotypical. But I am impressed when someone wears a quality watch and it's NOT a Rolex.
Sad. I still can't afford a Rolex. I just wrote a $50K check to pay off my house. I wish Rolex would lower their prices so I can buy one.
@@cdsersd2d Why do you want to buy a Rolex?
I wear a Rado Centrix, very minimalist design in black and chrome. I wear it everyday and it gives me pleasure just knowing I am wearing a design a bit different to most others.
I wear a Gshock DW5600 every day as a fabricator and it is BEAT up but still ticks the day away. It feels nice having a faithful companion on my wrist that keeps me accountable.
My £17 Casio watch ⌚️ has stopped my wrist getting burnt when I am welding several times and still tells the time,week after weeks year after year and I still have thousands in the bank 😅😅😅
Which model ?
This is so good, yet so, so overdone. A bit like the watch industry itself 😅
Yes, we could have quite a long discussion of those aspects.
Hey, I love watches. Besides, I learn English by watching and listening this video. I love the pronunciation you made. Thanks.
I starting wearing watches as a teenager, and loved it. When my second watch broke it felt really weird not to have it, but I decided to go on for a while without a watch. 20+ years later, I still don't want to wear a watch again. My mobile devices and PCs I work on show the time, and it's enough. :) Besides, there are obvious reasons not to wear one: I can't scratch or break what I don't wear, it doesn't draw the attention of bad people, it doesn't heat against or cause sweat on my skin, it doesn't create the habit of constantly checking it for no good reason (including to show it off), etc.
Well done! The psychology of the watch should get more discussion.
Watching this video makes me realized I really really like tool watches. It's not that I use them in the scenario it's been intended for but because of the engineering putted in it. I am doing software engineering. I just like to have technologically impressive things on me all the time to show the work of other engineers. Sometimes I also like to take a cheep Casio and modify it in a weird way to show my creativity.
Be careful, I started out modifying a couple of cheap watches, now I"m about to build my sixth mechanical watch from parts sourced on net. 😀
I wonder whether this is also something that signifies that you’re a working adult. We have a new coworker, 24 years old, and she said that she felt like buying a watch now because everyone here had a watch around their wrist. No one of us wears expensive watches, it’s just the fact that we have them in an era, where people could read the time on a cellphone. I‘ve never noticed.
Time is relative. Get rid of your clocks and watches and observe the impact on your overall anxiety. If you have already developed a routine you may find you feel better.
Would love this guy to give us a run down on signet rings!
This was a really informative and entertaining video. Thank you!
It shows you appreciate quality and have style.
A watch is my reminder that time works for me, not the other way around. By being aware of it, I can better control how I spend it and thus be in control of time.
I lost my favorite watch recently. it hurts equally to heart break. except I accepted it when I realized I didn't have it anymore. I can't believe it's gone. I had a limited edition commodore Bulova for woman, it was a salmon with light blue or navy hands with the lighting. I had a whole year with it. I still have others. but it's insane how close you get to this. I Plan on saving up for a Cartier now. I actually was going to get a Cartier but then said nvm. let me get something else since cartier didn't have any in store. I had to buy one online and I could've but didn't cause I chose fate. so I said okay I'll go buy somewhere else. I like to do this alot with my life but yeah. I got to Macys saw this watch and fell in love. I just want to know am I normal for liking a thing that tells the time? hopefully I get the cartier in 5 years. I want to save 1 grand a year. I secretly have hope this watch will come back to me. I know its mine its just living somewhere else. I dont mind I lost It cause someone at least will take care of it like me. I just love watches and I know who ever found it got lucky. a time piece AHHH id be happy too not going to lie. anyway sorry goodnight everyone.
My super clone makes me feel like a politician

Fake like a politician 😬
Haha
I love to wear my Zenith. A true masterpiece when it comes to precision. And no regular folks knows how much it costs. It feels great!
I like mostly quartz, large steel diver's, or pilot's or military field watches, with black faces and simple numerals or indices. Otherwise brightly backlit black digital watches. Nurse's watches also intrigue me. My epic klutziness means that mere mortals like prissy dress watches need not apply.
As an athlete, nothing screams I don’t plan on working out more than a sports watch 😂
What's wrong with wearing one to the gym?
@@Animaduniversum Sports watches usually have poor water resistance and I'd not want to be sweating all over a nice sports watch. To me, sports watches are for those watching sports and less about those engaging in sporting activities. For going to the gym, I'd prefer a cheap little waterproof beater, like a low end Casio.
@@beardymcbeardface69 I disagree with sport watches having bad water resistance, look at the orient kamasu and the seiko prospex diver watches, these two have 200m of water resistance for less than £300! It is blind and naive to say that all sports watches have poor water resistance. These need to be treated case by case. So tell me my dear friend, which sports watch were you referring to?
Poor water resistance? I guess you haven’t worn a “sports” watch since the 1970s. And why don’t you give us a few examples of a “sports” watch.
@@GS-vb3zn Did you watch this video? You'd need to in order to know the context of the term _"sports_ _watch"_ being used here. Traditional mechanical chronographs. Which typically have poor water resistance. There are current model mechanical chronograph "sports watches" from Longines, Junghans, Mido, Seagull, Frederique Constant, IWC, TAG Heuer, IWC, Omega, Zenith, Breitling, Patek Philippe, Jaeger-LeCoultre, etc, which have between 30m and 50m water resistance. He was not referring to the modern idea of a sports watch.
The most sophisticated and intelligent watch video I ever saw!
Impressive! But I use pocket watch every day.
Possibly one of the most important videos on all of KZhead ✌️😄
