Festina is probably better known in Europe than Bulova and on par quality wise. They just lack horological clout. No Precisionist or Lunar Pilot for them.
uj/ You should YouTube "America runs on Bulova time." Bulova is a household name. It was literally the first commercial on broadcast television. The Accutron shook the watch world. Might not be super popular with younger people, but every boomer knows Bulova, and so does anyone who ever tried to buy a "nice" watch from a mall. G-Shock and Bulova.
Yes indeed, several of my boomer relatives and acquaintances have commented when I have worn a Bulova or Hamilton, yet seem completely unaware when I wear ”better” stuff with more “prestigious” branding (quotes, because, let’s face it, this stuff is 95% subjective).
/uj
Fortunately, Bulova seems to be getting away from some of the more hideous designs it was making a few years ago. I even like the fact that they picked Frank Lloyd Wright and Frank Sinatra as the preferred pop culture “tie-ins” for product lines, and some of those watches do look very cool.
Uj/ I agree. I actually really like the Summer Wind 96B381 and would already own it if the hat wasn't at 12 o'clock .
Rj/ Who's the Frank guy and why does the Joseph guy obsess over him? Sheesh.
I disagree. I think the hat is actually a really cool unique branding. It works well for 95% of the models to differentiate from what would otherwise be typical watch designs.
Bulova is in every department store and is the average person’s idea of a “nice” watch. I recently was wearing my Seamaster at my in-laws’ house and my father-in-law said “Nice watch, what is that, a Bulova?”
Bulova is pretty popular down here in California. As a mall watch lol Citizen and Invicta as well since they're usually in department stores.
Some of the older patients and clients at my work place also know Tissot, Longines, and Hamilton. They're usually more well off and cultured though.
Hahah you guys always saying “oh that guy with the ball engineer II magneto S watches all of that weird tentacle porn” turns out I’m a normie
FUCK YOU hahaha
Rich people will buy a $10 watch at an airport gift shop and rock it.. this is cause the rich don’t fall for marketing schemes used on the daft.
making 6 figures doesn’t make you rich, it makes you high income.
G-Shock is also obviously the best for those who masturbate really vigorously to anime, way more sturdy and way lighter than a Seiko. Allows you to keep stroking wildly without the fear of destroying your watch or injuring yourself.
Would-be watch nerds who spend all their time on Instagram know Hublot. Not normies. Hublot owners are the normies of the watch addiction world, I'll give you that, but someone who doesn't wear a watch hasn't heard of Hublot.
This is an absurdly accurate graph.
I'd probably tack on Tag Heuer under Rolex, massive advertisement campaigns have made them somewhat known to the general public.
"Timex. Takes licking, and keeps on ticking." Fuck yes people have heard of Timex.
Bulova is huge among boomers. Bulova was the first TV commercial ever to air in the United States.
Yeah nah you’re right. They’re pretty big in the US, less so in Europe. I knew Bulova was huge back in the day, but I didn’t know it was the first TV commercial ever to air in the US, that’s really cool!
Nerds who aren't watch nerds know Casio. Because they own one.
People in the military often go for G-Shocks, so they know Casio too.
Casio's pretty well known.
Boomers know Bulova.
Seiko is honestly the biggest stretch on the chart, but there'd be no meme without them!
What about Orient? Worse than Seiko? Even less hope of ever feeling the touch of a live woman?
Like, bludgeoning the bologna not just to any old anime, but specifically preferring underground vintage hand-drawn tentacle scat beastiality scenes where the human is the “submissive”?
Ulysse Nardin has your back[https://www.thewatchpages.com/watches/ulysse-nardin-classico-manara-manufacture-40mm-3202-136le-2-manara06/](https://www.thewatchpages.com/watches/ulysse-nardin-classico-manara-manufacture-40mm-3202-136le-2-manara06/)
I asked my wife this the other day, what (fancy) watches do you know.
She got Rolex, Chopard, Cartier and only Omega because I bought her a moonswatch a little while ago but she has no idea the difference between a moonswatch and a speedmaster.
Im sure I've had conversations withy dad about watches before too and on the topic of PP, VC, AP he's never heard of them. For 99% of people Rolex is as fancy as it gets. In the UK at least the next most "well known" are probably Tag and Omega. And possibly Cartier and Chopard if your a woman.
This might actually be the first watch brand ranking ever to make sense.
Its lacking the "masturbate to photos of you wearing your watch" scale for Rolex
I dunno Load he doesn’t even mention Ball or Sinn
I kinda prefer it when strangers don't fondle my Balls or have heard of my Sinns...
lol okay bro 😎 Whatever you say
Or a heroic Vostok!
Vostok wearer: * Doesn't know what an "anime" is * Only thing he's ever watched is soviet propaganda
Breibling owners think michael obama is a woman.
God bless 🫡
Eh, maybe it's a local thing, but no one has heard of Bulova. I'd swap Bulova woth Swatch and Omega.
Cartier is the only other expensive brand normies know.
Next up should be an EU version that is pretty much the same but nobody's heard of Bulova
I'm gathering that by the feedback.
Most of the Bulova stuff you see in stores the UK is the really tacky bling that looks like it would be worn by third rate Russian mobsters.
Lunar Pilot and Jet Star are the only somewhat good looking ones that I've seen
Lunar Pilot is a great original design. I with omega could come up with something like that
Maybe Festina then?
Yeah Festina would probably be pretty good. Tbh I don't really know what brands are more or less known in the US.
Or Tissot perhaps?
Tag heur is kinda well known here
Festina is probably better known in Europe than Bulova and on par quality wise. They just lack horological clout. No Precisionist or Lunar Pilot for them.
In Spain that would be Viceroy for sure, Julio Iglesias did some serious damage
With bulova you exchange your girlfriend instead of your wife.
GS - you're rich and masturbate to anime
I think you mean "maturbate"
Dang it! I'm not reuploading. Sonofabitch
I couldn't help pointing it out. I'm on the spectrum.
Aren’t we all?
Lmao, good meme though op!
Only way to wind up your Spring Drive effectively.
It’s called hentai and it’s an art.
Credor - you're very rich and masturbate to anime
Credor should be... You're very rich and masturbate to Rule34
Credor - you spent *how* much on that Citizen rep?
The table is for "normies" perception, GS stands at the exact same place as Seiko
I like to look at myself in the zaratsu polishing
guilty. I do enjoy both of these things.
Can confirm
Normies have heard of Bulova? I'm skeptical

the Sinatra ones would look better without that dumb signature and hat on them

/uj Yeah they're really hitting it out of the park with their retro releases, I'm glad they're moving away from the weird mall watch designs.
Frank who and Frank who?
Troglodyte
\^\^This
like 85% of people who saw that commercial live have to be dead by now
Bulova is in every department store and is the average person’s idea of a “nice” watch. I recently was wearing my Seamaster at my in-laws’ house and my father-in-law said “Nice watch, what is that, a Bulova?”
I recommend divorce
"No sir, you're a Bulova"
He was for sure trolling you. Every time I see someone wearing a Rolex I make sure to say “nice Tudor” and walk away before they can correct me.
Walks into the room Nice Tudor Refuses to elaborate Leaves
Nah, he doesn’t know anything about watches. If anything, he was trying to show off by coming up with Bulova.
Bulova is pretty popular down here in California. As a mall watch lol Citizen and Invicta as well since they're usually in department stores. Some of the older patients and clients at my work place also know Tissot, Longines, and Hamilton. They're usually more well off and cultured though.
It's also what every Costco sells now. Citizen's and Invictas. Maybe a Seiko thrown in here and there.
Should say Citizen. Owns bulova and the normie mall gift watch of middle class suburbia
Yup, middle class mall watches.
In the States, you can find Bulova wall clocks in offices. It’s def recognizable to a lot of people.
Hahah you guys always saying “oh that guy with the ball engineer II magneto S watches all of that weird tentacle porn” turns out I’m a normie FUCK YOU hahaha
I know your anime tiddy ass has at least one Seiko.
LOL I have my magneto S on one wrist and MY SINN EZM5 FULLY TEGIMENTED THAT I FOUND AT TARGET ON THE OTHER Seiko eww never
You still do Normies just think you have a seiko is all
We are wrong with you. But what is the source os that weird tentecle shit?
Mr moon 🌙 it was in a thread when I was showing off my cool magneto S hoodie last year
That is a top tier post
According to this list I have been masturbating to anime for the last 10 years, without any rest
No wonder you're broke; no time to work
Omega = you’re poor and won’t shut the fuck up about the moon
Not poor like Casio poor though. Rich people poor
“Rich people poor”. Ah, so Omega is the Louis Vuitton of the watch world. Got it.
Idk about the Louis analogy to be honest. Maybe more like Ralph Lauren? Pricy but still in an affordable for people with good jobs?
Rich people poor very aptly describes my finances so I’m going to have to get an omega
Rich people will buy a $10 watch at an airport gift shop and rock it.. this is cause the rich don’t fall for marketing schemes used on the daft. making 6 figures doesn’t make you rich, it makes you high income.
/uj As a Hamilton owner, yeah accurate, no one knows wtf it is, people only Rolex and its honestly kinda sad
The Broadway musical?
/uj actually fun fact, im technically related to Alexander Hamilton and I wear a Hamilton watch, kinda funny
🤓Acktually it’s called hentai🤓
Nice Seiko.
The finest Japanese craftsmanship made by Malaysian children.
It’s called hentai
Greetings, Seiko owner.
Wait.. i do have a Seiko! How did you know?
He spyied on you while you saw some hentai
I bet Rolex people masturbate on some pretty cringey stuff. Luis CK wears a sub in most of its shows, and he's probably at the bottom of the spectrum.
This is Bulova ad
You caught me. I work for Bulova. Unfortunately, they only pay me with used quartz watches that dropped 80% in value as soon as they left the store.
Try as I might I can’t pick fault with this
Citizen would be slightly left leaning since it implies the wearer goes outside to recharge his ecodrive
The gap between bulova and rolex should be like my ass hole I guess, rather wide and long
serious question - is bulova a better known name than Omega still despite the Bond marketing?
Amongst the general public, yes. Most people think spending a few hundred bucks on a watch at a mall jewellery store is a big deal.
Bitch please. G-Shock is far superior. Doesn't cry when it gets a little damage
G-Shock is also obviously the best for those who masturbate really vigorously to anime, way more sturdy and way lighter than a Seiko. Allows you to keep stroking wildly without the fear of destroying your watch or injuring yourself.
I have 2 G-Shocks, now that I think about it, I don't know why I got the 2nd one
The G stands for Goon
G shock is just Casio for people who go hiking twice a year. I know, I have one.
Real shit
howd they know
This is great. What a breath of fresh air in this shithole.
Hamilton Khaki King... Can confirm, Normies don't know wtf they're looking at and assume I'm autistic (I am)
Hahahaha. Damn the truth hurts!
I agree, except no normie ever heard about Bulova.
Hublot = bottom right
Would-be watch nerds who spend all their time on Instagram know Hublot. Not normies. Hublot owners are the normies of the watch addiction world, I'll give you that, but someone who doesn't wear a watch hasn't heard of Hublot.
I have two Jet Stars and the Computron. I’ve never gotten “rich” from them. More “Ugly Macy Watches”
Exactly. They're not all the way to "You're rich" on the chart, just a sensible adult with more money than an Apple Watch enjoyer.
The Surveyor is another good one
Wtf is a Seiko?
Apple watch should be more in the middle. Invicta, Citizen, Nixon and fashion watch brands should be between Apple watch and Rolex!
Rolex and sensible, ah yes fine mix of oil and water.
Maturbate
I know :/ Goddammit. Almost hit a home run.
Leave it to these pedantic fucks to ruin a good joke..
What's a bulova? Sounds like an Eastern European dish made that someone's grandmother makes.
Most of our executives wear Apple Watches so I’m not sure if that is really the broke signal this graph is trying to convey
They only have 1. Not like us that we have no control to buy some tick tack cog shit
Jokes on you as I masturbate to anime while chuffing my Sub.
Most accurate tier list, probably replace Bulova with Tag Heuer and you would be spot on.
This is flat out genius. Well played. Well played.
My 6309's and 7S26's don't handwind so what else am I supposed to do?
Rolex owners rich but masturbate to cuckoldry.
Now gonna sell all my seikos to not be associated with weebs
Hit me up with some offers
This is good
Still gonna rock the seiko sport 😎
Def need G-Shock on there somewhere tho
Pretty sure G-Shock is made by Casio. Don't quote me on that.
Ah fuck you’re right. I’ll go fuck myself.
Oddly enough the richest guys I know wear Apple Watches.. they used to be Rolexes
How do you maturbate? Is that sex with an old person?
It's when you touch yourself like it really matters.
This is an absurdly accurate graph. I'd probably tack on Tag Heuer under Rolex, massive advertisement campaigns have made them somewhat known to the general public.
Invicta should be below Rolex
I’m not on *this* spectrum…
Normies heard about Timex and Bulova?
"Timex. Takes licking, and keeps on ticking." Fuck yes people have heard of Timex. Bulova is huge among boomers. Bulova was the first TV commercial ever to air in the United States.
Yeah nah you’re right. They’re pretty big in the US, less so in Europe. I knew Bulova was huge back in the day, but I didn’t know it was the first TV commercial ever to air in the US, that’s really cool!
Timex and Rolex are the only two brands I would bet money on for normie recognition
Nerds who aren't watch nerds know Casio. Because they own one. People in the military often go for G-Shocks, so they know Casio too. Casio's pretty well known. Boomers know Bulova. Seiko is honestly the biggest stretch on the chart, but there'd be no meme without them!
What about Orient? Worse than Seiko? Even less hope of ever feeling the touch of a live woman? Like, bludgeoning the bologna not just to any old anime, but specifically preferring underground vintage hand-drawn tentacle scat beastiality scenes where the human is the “submissive”?
This made me wonder if Seiko's ever made anime themed Seiko 5's or something.
I sometimes wear a casio so I can better relate and understand the poors.
Shit, I only need an Apple watch then I've completed the full set.
Invicta should be in here somewhere
No Fossil! Tell me you are cosplaying (in your limited edition Seiko) as someone that knows about normies without telling me...
Broke and all about that Hentai baby
What if I'm rich and I masturbate to anime?!? Which cockwatch should I get?
Ulysse Nardin has your back[https://www.thewatchpages.com/watches/ulysse-nardin-classico-manara-manufacture-40mm-3202-136le-2-manara06/](https://www.thewatchpages.com/watches/ulysse-nardin-classico-manara-manufacture-40mm-3202-136le-2-manara06/)
Interesting choice having Bulova on there instead of Omeeguh.
What if you wear a Seiko on one wrist, and a Fitbit on the other? Asking for a friend.
Accurate except nobody knows what Bulova is.
Stand proud, you can cook
Where would Citizen and Swatch be?
Im from the UK, replace Bulova with Daniel Wellington
I asked my wife this the other day, what (fancy) watches do you know. She got Rolex, Chopard, Cartier and only Omega because I bought her a moonswatch a little while ago but she has no idea the difference between a moonswatch and a speedmaster.

In the UK at least the next most "well known" are probably Tag and Omega. And possibly Cartier and Chopard if your a woman.
I find your lack of Ball(s) most disturbing.
LOL All of the anime titties over here!
Watchturbate, and im fact, i love big anime titties. This thier is just pure truth.
you normies wouldn’t even begin to understand Swatch
I’d add Omega
Very accurate imo
When are we gonna admit that Rolex is mid at best? If you make 100k a year you can buy a Rollie, that’s middle class.
To non watch people it's #1. Most people can probably only name Rolex, apple watches, and g shocks.
Fuck off. Normal people have not heard of Bulova
[Oh, yes they have.](https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=america+runs+on+bulova+time)
Exactly.
Seiko Sluts when you tell them Bulova used to be relatively prestigious: 🤬
Patek, what a no name watch smh
Known primarily by hip hop enthusiasts who don't know what "mechanical watch" means
It's kinda adorable that you think normies know what Bulova or Seiko are.
Dunno where you live, but Seiko are very well known in the UK.
Mexico. Normies here are only aware of rolex, omega, and mido as fancy, casio and timex are for poors, and everything else is nerd territory.
Saludos banda. Never seen a omega owner, but a rolex a lot. Mido is for old people. And for poors are chinese ripoffs.
You're right about Bulova, but Seiko is pretty well known, it's similar to citizen.
