In this video, we break down all 10 types of watches every collector should know — from the field watch born in World War I trenches to luxury watches like the Rolex Day-Date and the $31 million Patek Philippe Grandmaster Chime. Jason walks through every major watch category including dive watches, pilot watches, GMT watches, chronographs, racing watches, dress watches, the Casio G-Shock, and the $20 Casio F-91W that keeps better time than a $50,000 Rolex. Whether you're buying your first watch or building a serious collection, this is the complete watch guide — the history behind every type, the iconic models that defined them, and why we still want tool watches long after technology made them obsolete. Watches covered include the Rolex Submariner, Omega Speedmaster, Rolex Daytona, Cartier Santos, Cartier Tank, Heuer Monaco, Blancpain Fifty Fathoms, and the Rolex GMT-Master.
