The Top Everyday Watch From Major Brands

So an emerging category of watch that I always talk about on this channel is this everyday style watch.

Some people will call it a go anywhere, do anything style watch.

But for this video, I wanted to focus in on what are the purest forms of everyday watches.

We've talked about this subject many times, but from major brands, what are the single best representations of an everyday watch?

The reason why I wanted to get into this subject is it's been some time since we've talked about everyday watches for all segments of the industry.

And I do think that there are so many people that gravitate towards this style of watch because if they are going to spend a certain amount of money, they want to get the best return.

And to get the best return, you have to wear the watch over and over again. And that is what these watches excel at.

So just to describe what am I talking about when I'm speaking about an everyday watch?

I think first is it has to have this line of sportiness with refinement.

Can you wear it in a casual setting, maybe in an aquatic environment, go swimming with it?

But can you also wear it in the office or for a formal event? Can it work both on a strap and a bracelet?

Doesn't necessarily need to work on both, but that would be a nice value add. Is it versatile in that regard?

Also, it can't be a watch that you're constantly worrying about. Does it have some robustness in its package?

And are you also able to get some water resistance in the process of that?

It really is about having this convenience. You can wear it in all of these different situations.

100 meters of water resistance is ideal. And it could be that dumb reach where you don't even have to think when you go and grab this watch on a day-to-day.

It just simply works. Now for this exercise, we're going to focus on major brands and companies with name recognition.

They have mass market penetration, manufacturing capability, and broad appeal.

And as we're going through here, you'll notice that there are some major brands that might not be included.

I want to be rather strict with what I qualify as an everyday watch.

Brands like Patek, AP, Breguet, even Breitling aren't going to be included in this video, and there's reasons for that.

Yes, the Nautilus has versatile style and water resistance. It's a delicate subject, but that's a subject for another video.

But unless you have a certain look or have a deep wallet, it's probably not going to be what most people will call an everyday watch, especially when you're talking about this integrated steel sports watch.

That's a whole topic that I think people might argue. Is it truly everyday?

Yes, probably in most instances, but maybe not to the purest form of this idea. I brought up Breitling as well as another example.

cool brand, but their watches don't really qualify as this pure representation of an everyday watch.

There are watches that are adjacent to the genre. You could look at something like the Top Times, but those might be a little too playful.

And then you have the Chronomats, which have a bracelet that might not work in every different circumstance.

So this is how I'm thinking about this when putting together this video. So hopefully that gives you a better understanding.

A lot of brands to go through, a lot of watches to go through. We're going to look at all different price points and bounce around throughout the industry. So let's go with our first watch here.

And guys, before we jump in, I'm going to be heading back to New York City for an event with Nomos. This is going to be on October 29th.

We have very limited space available for this. So if you are interested, hit the link below.

This is a first come first serve type of idea. If we have space, one of my team members will reach out to you.

But if you are interested, fill it out below what's going to be happening at this event.

We're gonna have a variety of our inventory in their Soho boutique where you can check out many of Nomos's watches.

Also going to include in that the new world timer set.

So if you want to have a chance to look at these watches in person and actually walk away with one, this is the newer sets.

We will have those very limited amount of them at the event.

So if you want to check those out, be sure to attend, express your interest down below. I will also of course be in attendance. We'd love to be able to meet you guys.

We do not really do anything outside of Cleveland, Ohio. So to do something in New York, say hello, something that is pretty rare.

So if you want to take part in it, link will be in the description down below. First come, first serve, but really act fast. I would love to see you guys there.

And with that, we're going to start with Omega. So Omega has a lot of watches that could be considered in this range.

You could consider a Railmaster, maybe something from the Constellation family.

But for me, there really is only one choice, and that goes with the Aqua Terra.

The Aqua Terra is the extension of the Seamaster range.

It was evolved in the 21st century and now exists in a variety of different dial formats.

And I think that's the main reason why it gets the edge over something like the Railmaster and some of the other watches in this realm.

You have the Tequid dials, you have the lacquer dials, you have the shades editions.

There are so many different watches in the Aquaterra family to choose from that it is borderline overwhelming.

38 millimeter options, 41 as well being part of the package.

Main difference is going to be the movement, 8800 series, 8900 series.

But what you get with both of these is phenomenal specs across the board, 150 meters of water resistance.
