My friend J recently decided it was time to purchase his first automatic watch, so we headed out to explore some of the options that caught his eye. From Hamilton field watches to several Seiko favorites, we discuss what makes a great first automatic watch and what factors matter most when starting a collection.

One watch in particular seemed to capture his imagination: the green-and-gold Seiko Alpinist. Join us for a fun day of watches, conversation, and the excitement that comes with discovering what you truly enjoy in this hobby.

What would YOU recommend as a first automatic watch?
