﻿The PERFECT Watch For Your Age [0:00:00]
For the first watch on today’s video, gents,
I’m going to assume you’re 18 years old. You’re spending your own money, you’re buying your first
real watch, one that you hope lasts at least a decade.
This is something you’re going to take off to college. Maybe you’re joining the
military. You want something that’s going to be dependable, you want something that’s proven,
and you want something that’s going to be able to fit into your budget of either
under 100 bucks, maybe a little bit over. The brand I would recommend checking out,
Timex, in particular, their collaboration with Todd Snyder. Now, Timex for some reason doesn’t
get a lot of love from the watch snobs out there. And to be honest the reason is a lot of their
designs a lot of their looks are boring. And that’s why I was happy to see that they
did a collaboration with the designer like Todd Snyder and I have to say some of these pieces
came out really good looking. Right here, I’ve got the Maritime Sport
MS1 and I have to say I absolutely love the look. From the NATO strap to the dome crystal to just
the overall build of the watch is good. And I have to say my favorite feature
is the indiglo lume. So, I’ve got a lot more expensive watches, none of them have
a cool lume like this. It’s just really nice and refreshing. Yes, it’s a quartz watch,
but it’s a good looking quartz watch. Now, this other Timex I have here doesn’t
have the indiglo, but it is another Todd Snyder, inspired by the military
as a classic field watch. Absolutely love the simplicity the overall look of this.
And, I’ve had some more expensive field watches, this is my favorite by far.
Simply because it’s functional, it gets the job done. It’s just a good looking watch, a great
solid watch to start your collection with. In today’s video, gents, we’re talking about
finding the right watch for your age. [Music]
Now, for this next watch, I imagine you’re 45 years old. You’ve had some successes,
you’ve had some failures and you understand that brand isn’t everything. You want a watch that is a
luxury brand, at the same time, you want something that’s a good deal. And you want something that’s
going to stand up to the test of time, has some heritage, so you go with a Tudor Black Bay 58.
For me personally, this is one of my favorite watches in my collection. And what I love about
it is that most people know Rolex, but most people don’t know Tudor. And,
the quality that goes into Tudor watches and what you’re able to actually get for the price
is pretty amazing when you understand the history and how these watches are made.
Also, as a dive watch fan, I have the Submariner, but I prefer the Tudor over
the Submariner just simply because of the more subdued look. I love the colors. I love actually
the size. It was just it felt better on my wrist. I’ve got relatively small wrist.
If you’ve got a larger wrist, hey, you got like, you know, 8-inch, 9-inch, huge wrist like that,
you could look at the larger Tudors. [Sound effect] I’m not going to BS you here, I will
say though they’ve got some bigger watches. And I want to highlight something I said earlier
and that is value because I own more expensive watches, but I don’t think they’re any nicer.
Having owned expensive and then having this watch right here, this is a fraction of the
cost of those other ones. I have to say that this stands toe-to-toe with any luxury watch
out there. When you realize that you find a brand that just resonates you, you want to go for it.
And just to geek out on this watch, one of my favorite parts is when I loosened the crown,
I pull it out, you know, to adjust the time and how it’s got this like concentric circle
type of thing, this protector that goes out there. Most watches don’t – even Rolex doesn’t
have anything like that. And I just love that small detail that they put into the watch.
Now, gents, really quick, one thing I want to be clear about in today’s video is that you can wear
any watch at any age. I’m having fun here, but I want to state that if you
wear it with confidence, if you love the style, you love the look, go for it.
Now, of course, there are certain guidelines. You don’t want to wear super casual watches
with a dressed up look or you don’t want to wear dressy watches out in the field if you’re going
to be doing Marine Corps operations. Point being is find what you like and
wear a watch that’s functional, gets the job done and that you enjoy wearing.
Whether you spend $12 or $12,000, find the watch that resonates with you,
one that you love to wear and own it. Today’s video, gents, is brought to you
by Vitaman. Let me just save you some time. Vitaman makes the best damn grooming products
on the planet bar none. Now, of course, as an owner of the company, I’m not at all biased.
But, seriously, gents, we made great products down in Australia using natural and organic ingredients
and not using things that are going to harm your body like aluminum. In your deodorant,
go check the ingredients, most likely you’ve got it. In our deodorant, no aluminum and
it keeps you smelling great all day. Now, gents, I could just sit here and
tell you how awesome our products are, but let’s save you some time,
I’m going to give you some product for free. Seriously, down in the description of today’s
video, I’ve got a special link, which will take you over to our free sample page. Grab it while
we’ve got them. Limited supply, it’s not going to be around forever. Take advantage of this deal.
Huh. That promotion was fast. Let’s get back to the content.
This next watch, I’m assuming you’re about 24 years old. You’re just
getting into watches. You’re not sure if this is a hobby, if this is something you want to enjoy,
so you want to go with a brand that is proven. Something that’s affordable, but something that’s
still you’re going to get good value for your money, I advice checking out the Seiko 5.
So, most of you guys have heard of Seiko, but not everyone has heard of the five series or know that
the five series has been around for over 50 years. And this is their idea of putting out very durable
very reliable watches at a very affordable price. [0:04:59]
Now, this particular watch is from their dive collection, but they’ve got a wide
variety. Most of them are going to be sport, most of them are going to be casual watches,
not going to see too many dressed up Seiko 5s. But, what I like about this in general is that
these are watches that get the job done and they’re incredibly affordable. If you look around,
you can find some awesome deals out there on Amazon or some of the watch stores.
And, I know that Seiko 5 has a few variations of dress watches, but I’m going to say skip those
and spend a bit more. Stick with Seiko, but if you’re 28 years old and you’re going for
your first dress watch, something that you can wear with a suit, look at the SARB033.
These higher quality Seikos are going to cost you a few hundred bucks. But, this will be something
you’ll be able to use for the next 10 years unless you want to upgrade to a luxury watch
and really you’ll only be able to see a slight difference. Seiko makes a really great watch
in the $400 to $500 price range when it comes to dress watches and really it’s about size.
At 38 mm, this works well on a smaller wrist, but if you’ve got larger wrist, you’re going
to want to look at a larger size Seiko. The SARY55 at 41 mm across, this is a great size
for any wrist, even a larger wrist. And if you’re 21 years old about to graduate college, you want
a watch that you can wear into those high-end interviews, but you don’t have a big budget,
this is going to be a great option. Now, what if you’re 35 years old,
you got a bit more to spend? You want a great looking sports watch, a watch you can wear
every day, check out the Seiko Prospex. Personally, I like the style so much,
I grabbed three of them. Now, this one here I kept, it’s from their Save the Ocean series.
I love the look of it. It’s a little bit large for my wrist, so I don’t wear it very often.
The Black Ion here, I actually bought two of these. One, I gifted to Aaron Marino
and the other one, I gave to my son and he wears it all the time and absolutely loves it.
This watch also has a really cool nickname known as the Seiko Samurai because when you look at
the hands, they look like a sword. I really just like the overall styling of this watch,
just a great looking watch. Now, what about for a man in his
late 50s? You’re 58 years old and you love to travel. In particular, you love France.
You love the food, you love the wine, you love the women. Yeah, I feel you.
Guys, let’s talk about Yema. If you’ve never heard of this company, it’s an established
brand. They’ve been around for a long time. Really cool company. I got a chance to meet the owners
in Mauritius. And it’s a company that I think is making some really cool watches.
If you haven’t seen their Superman heritage series, just absolutely beautiful. I’ve got
one here in bronze and just a good looking watch. You can find it in a variety of sizes and, again,
an established brand that most people in North America have never even heard of.
And speaking of a brand that nobody’s heard of,
let’s talk about Zelos. So, I see you as being a 30-year old up-and-coming watch snob. You
want to own watches that nobody’s heard of that nobody’s talking about that are made
from meteorite or have unique just unique properties. Go check out their website.
I really like the styles. I own one myself and enjoy the watch. Really a cool brand that,
again, is flying under the radar and most people have never even heard of.
So, for the next watch on our list, I imagine you being a 39-year old business owner. You just
had your most successful year ever and you want to celebrate. You want to buy a Rolex,
but you don’t want to buy a Sub and right now, they’re hard to find.
You want to get the perfect, the classic Rolex, so you check out and you find out about the Explorer.
Anyone that’s ever seen an Explorer has owned an Explorer, they can tell you that,
yeah, this probably the perfect Rolex watch. Debatable? I know. But, when it comes down to
simplicity, an elegant looking field watch that is going to be functional,
gets the job done and it’s just amazing to look at, I’m happy to own it as well. I’ll
tell you the Rolex Explorer is a solid choice. Now, I get it, some of you guys are saying, “Come
on, Antonio. Rolex, boring. What if I already got ten watches in my collection? Five of them
are Rolexes. I want to find a micro brand, but I’m looking for something a little bit higher end,
upscale, good quality, value for money.” Check out Monta.
So, when I saw the Triumph, first time I saw this watch, I was like, “That thing is beautiful.”
Yeah, that blue mixed in with the brown. I bought it immediately. And then,
I went and bought a couple of other watch. I had to say Monta is making some of the best
most functional watches out there. It’s a brand most people have never heard of and the owner,
Justin, is a great guy. Check them out if you haven’t heard of them. And, yeah,
I’m going to put Monta on this list. But, what if you’re 16 years old and
you’ve got absolutely no budget? Okay, maybe you’ve got 20 bucks
to your name. What can you get for 20 bucks? Well, gentlemen, look no further than the classic
Casio F91W. You got a couple of options. You can go with plastic or you can go with metal. Now,
I’ll admit, it’s a little bit on the small size, but when it comes to a classic watch that will
get the job done, boom, you got it right here. Now, what if you’re 19 years old and you know that
you’re going to be an aviator? You’re going to be a pilot, you’re going to fly in the military,
maybe you’re going to fly in the airlines? Well, check out the Nigthawk by Citizen. It’s a
classic aviator’s watch, a little bit complicated, definitely cool looking. And, you look around,
you can find these at a decent price. Next up, you boys in your 60s, maybe even in
your 70s, you want a classic watch that’s never going to go out of style that you can dress up,
you can even dress down and is going to look good with anything and you got a little bit more money,
go with the Rolex Datejust, right here in the blue. I’ve got it with the white gold, just an
absolutely beautiful watch. And, pay attention to the bracelet. Make sure maybe you change it up.
[0:10:06] Go with right here,
can anyone name the type of bracelet I’ve got with this watch? Yeah, let me hear from
you guys down in the comments. Do you know it? Now, what about for you corporals out there, you
21-year olds out there in the military? Or maybe you’re 27 years old, you’re going to make a career
of it. You’re out there in the navy, the Marine Corps, the air force, the army, the coast guard.
You guys know I’m looking out for you, check out G-SHOCK. You already probably knew this. In fact,
most military guys when they go out there to buy a watch, they grab a G-SHOCK. Why? It gets the
job done, you control these things around. And, yes, they’re a little bit pricy for what
you get, but when it comes down to it, you can’t replace simply having the durability. In fact,
most guys I knew when I served, they carry two of them. Actually,
that’s not true. Most of the times, it was just an over prepared lieutenant that was carrying two.
All right, gents, so I know you got an opinion. I want to hear from you down in the description.
What watch did I miss? What should I have added to this video? Agree? Disagree? Did I get some
of the ages right? Did I get them wrong? Let me know, I want to hear from you guys down below.
And what video to watch next? How about the right leather jacket for your age? Seriously, there is
a right style, there is a right color, there is a right brand. Though, I don’t break it out into
that much detail, but I do give you some guidance on finding the right jacket for your age. So,
go check it out, it’s a good one. [0:11:17] End of audio
