Hey Watch Nerds!
Thanks for stopping by for today’s newsletter. The “D” word. No, I’m not talking about that. Get your mind out of the gutter. Today, Own the Watch goes DISNEY.
Just typing those words has probably woken up Bob Iger from a dead sleep and has him lawyering up. Well, until I get a cease and desist, we’re going to try something new.
Let’s take a look at Disney character and their watches (if they actually wore watches).
Today’s Characters Are:
Buzz Lightyear
Ariel
Aladdin
Mulan
Jasmine
Let’s get this started!
But first, help me get to know you with a short survey! 👇️
BUZZ LIGHTYEAR
Seiko Astron GPS Solar
To infinity and beyond! Buzz needs a watch that’s powered by sunlight and always knows the exact time, even on Planet Zog. With the Seiko Astron GPS Solar, Buzz can keep track of his space missions and intergalactic travels without ever needing a battery change.
It’s fancy enough to impress Woody, and high-tech enough to keep up with Buzz’s intergalactic needs. Plus, it’s perfect for those moments when he needs to remind everyone that he’s not just a toy, but a Space Ranger!
About The Watch
The Seiko Astron GPS Solar features GPS satellite radio wave reception. This means it can adjust to the local time anywhere on Earth (or any planet Buzz happens to visit). Its solar-powered operation ensures it’s always ready for action, just like Buzz.
Specs
Diameter: 43.3 mm
Thickness: 13.4 mm
Crystal: Dual-curved sapphire
Water Resistance: 100 m
With its robust construction and advanced tech, the Astron GPS Solar is the perfect companion for Buzz’s epic adventures, whether he’s battling Emperor Zurg or navigating the perils of Sid’s backyard. This watch combines the reliability and durability that every Space Ranger needs with the sleek design that’s out of this world.
Own This Watch?
Yes, I would.
ARIEL
Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra
Ariel spends more time underwater than a submarine, so she needs a watch that can handle the deep sea. At the same time, if you dream of living on land, you need a watch that can bridge both worlds seamlessly. The Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra is perfect for Ariel, blending aquatic resilience with surface-world sophistication.
About The Watch
The Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra features a stainless steel case and bracelet, making it as durable as Ariel's spirit. Its water resistance of up to 150 meters means it can handle all of Ariel’s underwater adventures without missing a beat.
Specs
Diameter: 34 mm
Thickness: 11.9 mm
Crystal: Domed sapphire
Water Resistance: 150 m
And let's talk about the Master Chronometer certification. This watch is not just about looks; it's about precision and performance, much like Ariel herself who navigates the complexities of two worlds. The Aqua Terra’s sleek design ensures that it looks just as good at a royal ball as it does while salvaging treasures from shipwrecks.
So whether Ariel is exploring the depths of the ocean or attending a human party on land, the Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra is the perfect companion for her dual life, making sure she’s always on time for her next adventure.
Own This Watch?
Yes, I would but this for my wife.
ALADDIN
Casio F91W
Riff-raff, street rat. He can’t buy that…but for only $22.95, maybe he can?
Street-smart and budget-friendly, just like Aladdin. The Casio F91W is the go-to watch for a guy who’s always on the move and often on the run. It’s cheap enough ($22.95) that he can afford to replace it every time he trades it for bread or a magic lamp. Plus, it’s durable enough to survive all of his rooftop chases and cave adventures. This watch is perfect for keeping track of time until his next wish – just make sure not to wish for another watch, Aladdin!
About The Watch
The Casio F91W is a classic in the world of digital watches. Known for its durability and reliability, it’s the ideal choice for someone who leads a life as unpredictable as Aladdin’s. Its simple design includes a stopwatch, alarm, and an LED light, making it functional and practical for any situation. Plus, the battery lasts up to 7 years.
Specs
Diameter: 38.2 mm
Thickness: 8.5 mm
Crystal: Resin
Water Resistance: 30 m
Whether Aladdin is navigating the streets of Agrabah, escaping from the Cave of Wonders, or taking Jasmine on a magic carpet ride, the Casio F91W won’t let him down. With its lightweight and compact design, Aladdin can easily slip it under his sleeve or hide it in his pocket, ready for his next big adventure.

Nah, not my style.
MULAN
Tissot T-Wave
Let’s get down to business.
What better way to balance saving China and dealing with annoying matchmakers than with a watch that screams “elegant warrior princess”? The Tissot T-Wave is inspired by the fluid movements of a ribbon, which is kind of like how Mulan gracefully avoids being exposed as a woman in an all-male army.
About The Watch
The Tissot T-Wave has a stainless steel case and a mother-of-pearl dial that says, “I’m classy, but I can still kick your ass.” The wave-like hands and diamond hour markers add just the right amount of sparkle because if you’re going to defeat the Huns, you might as well look fabulous doing it.
Specs
Diameter: 30 mm
Thickness: 8.7 mm
Crystal: Domed sapphire
Water Resistance: 30 m
And with water resistance up to 30 meters, it’s perfect for those spontaneous swims across icy rivers or dodging the occasional avalanche. This watch is the ultimate accessory for Mulan’s double life – both as a fierce warrior and a dutiful daughter. Whether she’s outsmarting Shan Yu or trying to survive another family dinner, the Tissot T-Wave has got her covered.

Cartier Ballon Bleu
When you're managing palace duties, escaping to explore Agrabah incognito, and taking joyrides on a magic carpet, you need a watch that embodies royalty and adventure. The Cartier Ballon Bleu is the perfect choice for Princess Jasmine, combining elegance with a touch of rebellious spirit.
About The Watch
The Cartier Ballon Bleu features a luxurious stainless steel case with a striking blue sapphire cabochon crown, because nothing says “I’m a princess” like a little royal blue bling. The classic Roman numerals and sword-shaped hands add an air of sophistication, ideal for when Jasmine needs to remind everyone who’s really in charge.
With its automatic movement and 37-hour power reserve, she can trust this watch to keep ticking no matter how many palace walls she has to scale or secret markets she explores. And let's not forget the sleek, domed design that ensures it won't snag on any veils or scarves during those spontaneous desert adventures.
Specs
Diameter: 33 mm
Thickness: 10.5 mm
Crystal: Sapphire
Water Resistance: 30 m
Whether she's giving Jafar the slip or making a daring midnight escape with Aladdin, the Cartier Ballon Bleu is the ultimate companion for Jasmine’s royal escapades. It’s a watch that says, “I can handle palace intrigue and still look fabulous doing it.” So, if you’re planning to overthrow an evil vizier or just want to make a grand entrance at the next royal banquet, the Cartier Ballon Bleu has got your wrist covered.
Own This Watch?
Yes, I would buy this for my wife. She loves Cartier.

OUTTA TIME
I went a bit outside of my comfort zone for today’s article. I’m not a huge Disney person. In fact, I’ve never been to Disney Land or Disney World. And I’m okay with that.
Regardless, Disney movies played a large role in my childhood and I wanted to try to tie watches into them. Somehow. Maybe this was a stretch, but we should try new things. Thanks for joining today on Own The Watch.
