You shouldn't take anything or anyone on youtube seriously.

Occassion? Dress or diver? Leather or metal bracelet, price range, mechanical or quartz?

>>11819358
Dress, mostly for work now that I am in the city, either quartz or mechanical is fine I guess

Leaning toward leather given my price range, I was hoping to get something for £200-£500, but all I see is ugly but good brand, or nice looking but Chinese or designer shit, I am willing to save up to £1k if thats what it takes to get something that im not going to look at in a couple years and just think its garbage

why is Fossil in shit tier?
I know jack about watches but it always seemed at least lower mid tier to me

>>11817794
Thanks. That's one of the very, very few watches I like the looks of.

>>11821623
bottom tier put cheap movements into watches they think look good, or that are imitations of something iconic, all style, no substance, fashion brands, not watch brands, no heritage, and completely overpriced.

next tier up:
better internals, but still a huge mark up, generally watchmaking brands that have a recognizable name because they have real history, but were bought up and rolled into a conglomerate sometime after the invention of the cheap quartz watch destroyed their business. production quality better than shit tier, generic internals, you're buying because of an advertisement that convinces you you're wearing history or luxury or both.

middle tier:
value for money, watchmakers with history who largely still produce their own internals, not pretending to be something they aren't and the price reflects as much. would argue with chris ward being here, but developing an in house movement moves them up.

fossil has always been a fashion watch brand; created in the 90s, savvy advertising and popular design got them a foothold. they compete on looks and selling a watch for $150 that citizen, for the sake of argument, sells with a real movement and quality materials/machining) for $600. they literally built the brand by polishing shit and convincing retards to buy it.

there are literally factories that design and produce watches for a dozen "fashion" brands. fossil is one of those producers.

Why do you people still insist in trying to categorize a whole universe of watches by ranking (wrongly, of all matters) the brands??
A great watch can come from a lesser brand, as a great brand can make a total dog.

You can only compare specific watches/ familys against each other.

If it fits your aes. Steel with black or brown leather strap, or the white ceramic, would be my pick. And the 38mm, not the large one. Sat next to a guy at fashion week who had a black/black one and it looked quite good all things considered.

I mostly dress in dress-shirts/oxfords and chinos/jeans. (very Christian background & all other family is very "upper-class")

Cool reaction images, they give your opinion the weight they deserve

With a minimal aesthetic the watch works very well

I read some reviews of the brand, seems like the general consensus was that the quality was good, but you're paying more for the look and less for the internals. Internals wasn't dog shit, but it was mediocre. I haven't really seen any watches that resemble this one, they're either all branded or 10$ amazon shit.

option 1: vintage watches. from the 20s through the 60s. rarely will you see a watch larger than 36mm.
option 2: dress watches. often much smaller than sport watches.
option 3: a classic tank. may or may not fall into #2. classic tanks are square or rectangular watches that may be as small as 20-22mm.
option 4: watches made for the japanese domestic market (smaller people, smaller watches)

pic related is option 4. Diameter: 33.5 mm (without the crown), Thickness: 5.3 mm (!!!), quartz (no one does quartz better than seiko). this is what i'd wear if i were in your position. or a classic tank.

if you go vintage, a lot of times you'll find the smaller watches are less expensive, because over the past 30 years nuance has become a rare quality.

>>11826368
and if you go by >>11826447 and don't mind a 38mm watch, things open up for you a bit, because 38mm is the smallest most watchmakers make for men. (rolex makes a 34 and a 36 datejust for men, which is another option.)

junghans makes a 34mm max bill if the 38mm is too large. some are labeled as "ladies", but the classic colors are not.

i'm quite fond of pic related at 38mm. a vintage version is no larger than 36, but would require effort to track down.

who knows. any number of bauhaus watches. hamilton intramatics have that finish and date placement but no seconds dial. max bills have the seconds dial but if there's a date it's at the 3. brauns look like that as well but are usually black or white, and the case/lugs are usually more geometric. seiko's made a hundred similar watches over the years. you'll probably find a dozen more brands making something like that in the 50s or 60s.

If you aim for either Nato or silicone, try to match colors.

black leather straps aren't to be used with t-shirts, IMO.

But what about a black Nato or black two piece nato, canvas, perlon, etc... ? That would go great with a victorinox and a t-shirt.

Because the kind of anons that does those guides are armchair basement-dwelling watch experts with a "collection" because they have 3 watches...

Being said that, Victorinox watches are assembled in china. Yes, Victorinox is a swiss brand, but specialized in cutlery and pocket knives, they never made watches until recently after the quartz tsunami, then they, like everybody else, jumped into selling cheap chinese mechanical movements and quartz watches but with a "swiss" legacy behind.

Being said that again, their QC is not that bad.

Natos are considered cool by normies since Denzel Washington watches exist.

t. have normie flatmates, friends and coworkers who keep complimenting my automatic jap watches just because of the cool and colourful nylon straps.

>>11839388
>since Denzel Washington watches exist.

more like since James Bond has worn some Diver with a Nato Strap attached to it and the normies all saw that, young'un.

Still nice try m8.

I'll go out on a limb and say it's still very present in the collective consciousness of normie fucks regardless of age and I'm almost 30 and I've seen all these movies. then again, I'm not a good example to prove this point because I'm no normie for sure.

>>11839465
You are basically proving my point.
Btw do you think an average person who has watched those movie, except for the watch autists, do remember a 3 second close-up scene of a Rolex submariner on a narrow nylon strap on Sean Connery's wrist?

pretty nice. that's a great watch. it's better than what most people post here by Casio. it seems what you have is the WV-59DE-1AVEF model.
it has a radio signal receiver so it's pretty much never off time-wise and changes summer and winter time by itself as well. it's cool. it could have more WR though. this one has 5 bar.
