The video walks through a wide range of options, from Seiko 5 Sports models like the SRPK29 and the SRPD73K2 to various Orient stalwarts such as the Mako-3, Ray II, and the RA-AC0Q diver. It also tosses in some unexpected variety, including the Casio Edifice EFV-100 and the Citizen Tsuyosa. It is an interesting breakdown if you are trying to figure out which of these automatic and hand-winding watches actually holds up when you compare their features side-by-side.
