After seeing an excellent video on top ten affordable snob proof watches, I felt compelled to share my picks for the best affordable watches under $1000 for 2023 that even snobs can't hate. In this video I discuss several cinematic watch icons, timepieces that made it to the moon, prestigious and authentic military watches, and trendsetting design icons. I also explore the story behind some amazing independent heritage brands. Whether you're looking for the most capable dive watch, a historically important chronograph, the most elegant of dress watches that even the haute horology brands imitate, or the most functional beater watch for the outdoors, this video has all corners covered. What do you think about the watches in this video? And what are your top picks for the most snob proof watches under $1000? Please share in the comments!
