It helps people approach you. I once had a girl hold my hand and see my watch (all the time but that's cus it's perfect for me and very very close to home being a present and survived). She then started asking about my scars and putting her hand to mine. See smoothed into it. I wasn't in the mood, as I was dragged to the party and was sitting out in the lawn in the middle of the night with the host, while everyone danced to loud sexy Latin music. She got me to go to her place that night. I'm not that kind of guy at all, call me a prude but I'm selective of company and keep it exclusive. Thing is, seduction pieces are just an extension of you to show your baseline. That's what I've learned in my lucky life of getting treated pretty. If what you carry is part of you and functional to your identity, then it helps people approach you. Honestly, my watch makes me positive and smirk a little when I'm brooding. I know I'm ranting and all over the place, but keep it real, it keeps you in touch of reality and not your false perceptions. People will automatically put you on a pedestal. I wear pink cloth knit shoes. I'm athletic and still a huge nerd (I've got full on investment piece statues of Indiana Jones to batman in my room and game room). My friends are shocked why they find them so good looking on me. They said those are gay as fuck but I pull it off. Next thing you know, one of their girlfriends and her friend ask me where I got those and blah blah. I just came from the gym and was late to the party. I was wearing my jeans over my track shorts lmao

True, however that's not always the case. Sure if you're trying to be flashy with your watches then yes, perhaps the kind of woman you're attracting are not the ideal person to settle down with, but often, even regular women will subconsciously notice a tasteful outfit that includes a classy watch, doesn't have to be over the top or showy, the person seeing it doesn't even have to notice the actual watch, the important thing is the overall impression you're giving out, the watch plays a part in that but isn't the full answer.

I have observed compliments on my watch collection as a whole. A couple of ladies I know have complimented me on the range of watches I tend to wear throughout the weeks, and so the compliment may be something like..."I've noticed the different watches you wear. They're all pretty nice and I always look to see if you have a different one on." I find this to be of the highest compliments. Neither of these ladies wear a watch, but enjoy seeing them on men's wrists. You are right on the money with the attention to detail comment.

It also has an alligator band. That is the right combo, guys! You'll get a compliment from a woman at work while totally unavailable, and a wife that thinks your watch looks ridiculous.

“the watch should be the last thing” best quote from the video, and great advice. Fun and interesting theme. Just a quick comment on the wrist watch check, I would not wear the Tudor with that strap, I dont think it is the best strap for it. I would go with a colored suede or leather. On the question of the most compliments, I could say the casio A168WA-1, my ex girlfriend bought it as a gift and she loved IT and the way it looked. I should also mention actually two Orient watches, the Raven II (now being worn on a walnut or lite brown leather nato strap which really accentuates the watch), and an Orient 3 star (stainless steel case, white dial with a reddish brown leather strap). One girl though that the 3 star was a Rolex (I guess she saw it from far. She said “I though you had a Rolex” ? anyways... ) The Raven II is just an eye magnet on leather nato straps, so rugged but classy. Other things that I can remember women like are “little rectangular” watches, like a Cartier Tank type of thing (I have a very nice art deco Waltham of the 30’s for that type of elegance), and the other is “skeleton” watches. I guess just being able to look at, to quote my 19 yo cousin, those “thingys inside” catches some attention. Regarding the outfit I personally love to wear black, black t-shirts or polo shirts, because I guess I don’t have to worry about getting the outfit wrong, but as a result the watch really gets contrast without looking like a parrot wearing a crown. I should conclude by saying yes the overall look of the persona is above the details, but eventually the details are going to be noticed so you have to get both in correct and aligned to your persona, I guess its a triangulation of the persona, the details, the look. Commendable TGV !

I've actually found that the larger watches in my collection, with more of the 'oyster type' highly polished chunky bracelets and contrasting dial colors are the models that got me the most compliments. Even then, they mostly came from men who wanted to know what it was.. When I was 17 I used my first paycheck at my first job here in Australia, to buy a 400 dollar Fossil watch. It was a big chunky stainless steel thing with a wide bracelet and a black dial with red subdials. Fossil in Australia back then was not well known or common. I sit down & hand polish that watch once every 6 months and I still own it today. I'm 29 now. It still looks brand new. I still wear it every so often for the sentimentality it has. Last week a male friend of mine at a card game asked where I'd got the new watch. He barely believed me when I said it was 12 years old and has been a beater watch and was a cheap brand. He made me take it off so he could have a better look.

Fascinating and very important topic. (Apologies in advance for the length of this post, but I am assuming a few younger males will be watching this segment in particular and may be interested in additional comments.) I think you are correct in your observations and advice. I would advise any young, upwardly mobile gentleman to listen carefully to what you said. I would add, however, a couple of points. First, although ladies are generally not watch enthusiasts as we males are, my experience is they do know a Rolex across a dimly lit room. Other brands, not so much. There is apparently something magic about Rolex for females. Second, it is important to emphasize that you are absolutely correct about not using any watch as a "chick magnet" for reasons you well stated. Outcomes are predictability bad. Also, A serious young man must be well mannered, reasonably educated and informed on current events, and at least somewhat cultured, and most importantly, respectful of females in all ways at all times. He must be the kind of male that accents the beauty of a lady, who must always be the center of his life. There is a certain quiet male pride in being professionally successful and sharing the rewards of that success with a special lady. And all ladies want to feel special in the eyes of the males in their lives. It also helps to invest in one's own personal appeal by being an expert in something other than sports. Be reasonably well traveled, other than a singles cruise to the Bahamas. Go to London if only for a week, take a budget tour. That makes a difference in the female mind between a male who only goes to Vegas, sports bars and ball games, and one who has an inquisitive, curious and adventurous mind. My theory is ladies subconsciously use a watch as a supplement to validate their personal assessment of the social interaction between the two individuals. Is the watch consistent with who the male represents himself to be? Your pimp analogy is perfect. A perfectly dressed and comported gentleman who wears a pimp watch or a Hells Angel watch with huge bolts and rivets and skull ornamentation is a very big red flag. Females are inherently sensitive to character flaws, they have all been deceived before by slick talking males. So intellectual and physical consistency is vital. I would suggest a young upwardly mobile male on a budget invest in a quality Rolex, second hand, through a qualified vendor. Nothing flashy, perhaps a nice DateJust. Plan to wear it until he is in his mid 30s. Then decide what to get next. (Wear a cheap sports watch for yard work, boating or gym.) A word to the wise, never have a more expensive watch or car than your boss. If you do have a better watch, make sure he knows it was inherited...whether it was or not. My experience is younger ladies usually don't know a Patek Phillipe from an IWC, so wearing one during the dating phase of your life is actually counter productive if you are trying to communicate subliminally to a female. As Jay Leno says, if you have to explain a joke... it's lost its purpose. Politicians say if you are explaining, you're losing... When I wear my Tag, or vintage Accutron, or 1939 Art Deco Hamilton from my dad, ladies don't notice. My Rolex DateJust draws compliments and attention from waitresses to female surgeons as if it were a $10k timepiece. Rolex is not a magic love potion, but apparently it conveys an inherent sense of quality and substance, and self confidence which resonates with ladies. Therefore, it is a good start along the road of making a good impression. The rest is up to the male.

Even longer ago, a girlfriend gave me a vintage pocket watch, a rose gold hunting case with steampunk hands. My Rolexes (1530 and 1630) never got many compliments from women. My wife does not see the need for more than one watch although I have several, and she refuses to wear one because she wears bracelets and carries two smart phones. Last Christmas, she gave me a watch that surprised me - an Apple in space grey (I tend to wear a lot of black) on a stainless steel strap, and I love it as all the rest of my watches are analog.

Some of which you mentioned, like the strap matching well with the belt or the color of dial matching a shirt color or a watch giving a touch of color as an accent to an outfit. I have to admit I am a lot into this with watches as well. I also geek out over movements and tooly features but match my watch to my outfit or even in some cases dress totally to go with a specific watch I feel like wearing. Comments I have gotten from women on watches, and I have gotten a reasonable number, have all centered around how they contribute to the overall "look".

Women are looking for a strong male specimen for reproduction (even if they are not consciously doing so, their brains are wired to ...) 2. The brain associates wealth with power and power with a strong male specimen. This is why men with money suddenly become more attractive, it's not that (all) the women turn into gold diggers all of a sudden, it's just that other buttons are pushed in very ancient parts of the brain. 3. Very few women are into horology/watches because it's inherently very technical. And a type of status symbol that is not used by women very often. (They will probably prefer rings, handbags, shoes) 4. Very few women know how to assess the worth of a watch, or are even remotely aware of it. The 'code' can be understood by men more easily. And even then it can get messy as we know from the Facebook group ;-) 5. The watches that will catch women's attention are probably the bling bling ones, due to 'wiring' (of course I'm drawing this picture very roughly, I know there are women who are into technology and detest bling bling but for my case ... ;-) and 6. They may suddenly gain an interest for this man because they think he is rich=powerful=interesting. This does NOT make them gold diggers or despicable ;-) Some are, but then you'd have to not underestimate a golddigger, they wouldn't go for the Invictas and know their stuff because they have probably learned their lesson somewhere along the line where men make it seem as if they are rich when they are really not. We are still wired like our ancestors and it's all not so complicated.

I really enjoy your videos, thanks for your creative expression. I do want to say that I have several Invicta watches that get me way more compliments than my Omega or my Rolex. Not all of their designs are "gaudy" or "over the top". I've also had no quality control issues. I hate it when people have to put down another brand to prop their "favorites" up.

Yes, I've approached a few men to compliment them on their watch and they are always dressed tastefully. Suit, necktie, shoes; they use the watch to complement the rest of their outfit. In fact, without the watch they would be underdressed! When I'm dressed up and wearing my best watches, women are going to compliment my tie, suit, or shoes, not the watch.

I wear a Cartier to work and it will get noticed although I won't be asked or complimented directly on it. Wear a rolex or Omega outside of work and the rolex gets noticed when I am involved dealing with people related to great sums of money and get taken seriously in the process. The Omega goes under the radar too. All in all hardly any compliments, likely gets noticed where customer service is required and that's the way I like it.consider it stealth wealth under the radar understated and no one else needs to know . I bought them because I like them for me and not others .compliments are a bonus not a must for me!

My experience has always been that vintage watches get the most attention. On the very odd occasion a woman who doesn’t know watches has paid me a compliment or asked about my watch, it’s been a vintage watch on all occasions except one- when a woman noticed and complimented my Reverso on a first date (we now have a 3 year old daughter and she now moans I have too many watches 😂) I think to most normal(non wis) women a sub, a Marinemaster, a sumo and an invicta look pretty much the same.

This is an old video that I’m just discovering but I’ve always noticed a watch on anyone I’m with but I’ve been fascinated with watches since I was young. I especially pay attention to watches in movies (007 or interstellar, etc) and if I see someone wearing it out in the wild I will definitely compliment. I’m not like most ladies I would say because I’m not attracted to flashy or blingy jewelry but rather watches that have history and have a classic look to them.

I've been wearing a variety of unusual vintage watches over the last few months and while get occasional compliments from women, I almost always get questions about the pins I wear. I have a lot of aerospace pins from Apollo and space shuttle missions and I wear them on my lapel and necktie. They're cool looking and they each have a story behind them. It probably also helps that I'm wearing a jacket and tie in the first place! Attempting to dress well is something else that women will notice.

I would have to respectfully disagree. I think the point of "what women like in a watch" is being missed. Why would women compliment a golden watch, or a watch that's "loud and gaudy"? It's not because they actually _like_ it more than a regular watch. First of all, obviously the bling bling jumps right in their face, so it more noticeable than a modest watch. And secondly, it's simply quite obvious from the context that a watch like that is being worn as a "crown piece". Women get that it's more jewelry than just a timekeeping tool, so they will be more prone to make compliment about it. That's common social politeness, not attraction. Women just do not care about things like this. They will like YOUR watch, YOUR car or YOUR perfume ... if they like YOU.

The Seiko model you referred to, which you previously owned I believe is the SEH010. This was the predecessor to the Flightmaster. I owned the SEH010 (yellow gold plated) back in the early 90's and wore it with a custom made black leather strap. Beautiful watch! It was the first Seiko I had ever owned and it was my first foray into the wide wonderful world of timepieces. Great videos by the way. Keep 'em coming.

It’s a Nixon Sentry, day/date, black face, yellow dashes for the numbers, silver hands, red second hand, chocolate brown leather strap. I just bought a black Vincero with a black nylon strap. I’m planning on buying a nice simple Timex next though, I didn’t know they were a reliable brand before, I always thought they were cheap.

Honestly I've gotten more compliments from my old Casio calc watch than I have with any other piece I've owned. That might be because I wore it exclusively back when I was a bit younger (late teens) and the hippest girls thought it was cool. Either way I think it's important to match character and personality when it comes to your watch. I was a bit more quirky and trendy back then so it definitely suited me. Girls will pick up on that instantly

Invicta watches feel like they are forcing perceived value with their big and heavy builds. Don't think I've ever seen an Invicta that wasn't oversized. They are also always priced MSRP $500 or more but the prices have been slashed to $100-$200 just for you. Some would actually be really nice if they were shrunk by 25%. My personal theory on them is that they are meant to be gifted to men instead of purchased by men by people who don't know any better.

Grooming, outfit, haircut, not being fat, etc. Shoes are probably more noticed than watches.
