This week on The HourTime Show, the official podcast of WristWatchReview.com, Victor, Nicholas, and special guest Emory (aka Victor's daughter; John was AFK this week) break down whether or not Pride Month watches from brands like Armitron and Timex are just cash grabs or something more meaningful.

Regardless, apologies, but enjoy!**This week on The HourTime Show, the official podcast of WristWatchReview.com, John, Victor, and Nicholas break down their top 10-ish favorite watches under $1,000.

Hello and welcome to The HourTime Show, the official podcast of ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠WristWatchReview.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠. Your hosts this week are Victor (⁠@vmarks on Twitter⁠) and Nicholas (⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@nicholasadeleon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠). John is away this week. He sends his regards. **For a video version of this podcast, simply visit ⁠our YouTube channel⁠.** This week, Victor and Nicholas primarily discuss three big topics: Seestern's new Pelagos homage and how it compares to similar pieces from the likes of Heimdallr, and why you'd want to spend $300 on an homage versus a rep; Rolex's certified pre-owed program; the Belhamel Contra A40; and some DIY watch project stuff. We also briefly mention some big New York Times article on replica handbags, which *we think* is relevant but we didn't actually read the article. We also bring back audio podcast chapters with this episode. Adding chapters tacks on several more minutes to post-production so hopefully someone out there appreciates them. If your podcast player supports chapters you can more easily skip around to different segments of the episode. Many of the most popular podcast apps, including Apple Podcasts, Overcast, and Pocket Casts, support podcasts, but I (Nicholas) don't know offhand if Spotify does. I guess we'll see!

Hello everyone, Nicholas here. This is just a quick public service announcement to let you know that The HourTime Show is now on YouTube. Our channel is YouTube.com/@wristwatchreview, and there you'll find our video episodes. Any and all WristWatchReview.com video content will live there too, with this dedicated playlist hosting HourTime itself. The audio-only version of the pod isn't going anywhere, but we thought it would be fun to make a video option available for folks. Thanks!

Hello and welcome to The HourTime Show, the official podcast of ⁠WristWatchReview.com⁠. Your hosts this week are John (⁠@johnbiggs⁠ on Twitter), Victor (⁠@vmarks⁠) and Nicholas (⁠@nicholasadeleon⁠).

Simply subscribe to the WristWatchReview YouTube channel, and new episodes of HourTime should (knock on wood) appear as part of a dedicated HourTime Show playlist. Like and subscribe! This is a shorter episode this week because John had what's known in the business as a "hard out." Meaning, he had a work thing to do right after. But the pod never sleeps! (OK, we occasionally sleep.) This week we tackle all of Rolex's new releases that were announced at Watches and Wonders this year. Your hosts' reactions are... mixed. We then tackle the Oris ProPilot X Kermit and get into where all these cutesy watch collabs came from. There's a bit more but that's the gist!

Hello and welcome to yet another exciting edition of The HourTime Show, the official podcast of ⁠WristWatchReview.com⁠. Your hosts this week are Victor (⁠@vmarks⁠) and Nicholas (⁠@nicholasadeleon⁠). John is traveling this week and couldn't record. WE HAVE NEWS!!! This week's episode is our very first attempt at creating a video podcast. You can watch it HERE. For various reasons we've been wanting to experiment with producing a video edition of The HourTime Show for a few months now, and we've finally decided to give it a shot. The audio podcast will not got away! But, we basically wanted to give folks an option of watching video since we know that's important to folks. There will be some bugs as we figure out the workflow, but hopefully everything works properly. For now, the video version will be found on YouTube. Again, you can click here to watch the first episode. Like and subscribe, and all that. (Yes, it's being hosted on my personal YouTube channel for now.) We might expand it to other platforms (like Spotify) but I (Nicholas) don't actually know how that will affect the audio feed. If anyone at there does know please tweet me or email me at nicholas@wristwatchreview.com. If you have any suggestions or anything like that please email the show at tips@wristwatchreview.com, tweet us, or ping us on Discord. All credit to ⁠Andrew Haworth⁠⁠ for producing both the audio and video edition of The HourTime Show! As for this week's episode, we tackle a bunch of subjects including Rolex's alleged production increases and whether or not we think Tissot is the new Tudor. What does that mean? No one knows what it means but it's provocative. It gets the people going! Keep it locked to ⁠WristWatchReview.com⁠ and ⁠@wristwatchreview⁠ on Instagram for more fun watch content.

With Victor away this week John and Nicholas decide to break down what exactly is "off" with the latest MoonSwatch release.

Hello and welcome to yet another exciting VERY VERY TINY edition of The HourTime Show, the official podcast of WristWatchReview.com. Your host this week is Nicholas (@nicholasadeleon). John and Victor could not record this week so I'm publishing this quick thingamajig mostly to remind you to join our Discord. If you were in the Discord last week you would have seen our LIVE REACTION to the new Omega MoonSwatch. John has larger thoughts here. You might have also missed Patrick's take on the new Atelier Jalaper AJ-P400. That's about it! Keep it locked to WristWatchReview.com and @wristwatchreview on Instagram for more fun watch content.

Hello and welcome to yet another exciting edition of The HourTime Show, the official podcast of WristWatchReview.com. Your hosts this week are John (@johnbiggs on Twitter), Victor (@vmarks) and Nicholas (@nicholasadeleon). We open the show this week with some more ChatGPT hijinks, asking it to write a watch podcast intro from scratch. Sounds OK to us! We intend to mess around with this tech a bit more in the coming days and weeks. Victor then goes into detail with a Houtman, which he has on loan at the moment. This sparks a wider discussion on branding, design, and so on. Of course, we had to then ask ChatGPT to come up with some watch brands for us. Lastly, we help Victor pick a travel watch. Sounds like he needs a GMT of some sort! There's a bit more but that's the gist. Thanks once again to Andrew Haworth for producing this week's episode. Keep it locked to WristWatchReview.com and @wristwatchreview on Instagram for more fun watch content. Thank you for listening, and have a great week!

Hello and welcome to a special MICRO edition of The HourTime Show, the official podcast of WristWatchReview.com. Your hosts this week are John (@johnbiggs on Twitter) and Nicholas (@nicholasadeleon). Victor (@vmarks) appears at the very end for approximately three seconds. Why micro? Because Nicholas, who is a very important person, had to take a call during our usual recording time and we didn't want to miss another week. So, micro it is! We open with a great deal of G Shock talk, brought about by Nicholas's recent visit to the gun show in Tucson. A looot of G Shocks there, let me tell ya. This newest Frogman? Eh, a little busy for our tastes. We then shift to a quick discussion of this Nivada and the VK64 mecha-quartz movement. What's the deal with the 24-hour subdial? And that about does it for this MICRO episode. Thanks once again to Andrew Haworth for producing. Keep it locked to WristWatchReview.com and @wristwatchreview on Instagram for more fun watch content.

Hello and welcome to yet another exciting edition of The HourTime Show, the official podcast of WristWatchReview.com. Your hosts this week are John (@johnbiggs on Twitter), Victor (@vmarks) and Nicholas (@nicholasadeleon). We open the week with some AI talk, stuff like ChatGPT and Dall-E, and whether or not these tools can be used to create watches. We more or less land on, "Sure, why not?" We then pivot to a new (to us) Norwegian brand called Aigi, whose Satellite Ground Station we're definitely big fans of. John loves it, and he hates everything! Victor then brings the brand Houtman to the table, which he now has in for review. Another new-to-us brand that's a winner. Nice! There's a bit more but that's the gist. Thanks once again to Andrew Haworth for producing this week's episode. Keep it locked to WristWatchReview.com and @wristwatchreview on Instagram for more fun watch content.

Hello and welcome to yet another exciting edition of The HourTime Show, the official podcast of WristWatchReview.com. Your hosts this week are John (@johnbiggs on Twitter), Victor (@vmarks) and Nicholas (@nicholasadeleon). Full house! We open the show this week with, get this, some actual watch talk. First on the docket is the Hnauty Hero-X, which John has in for review. As is befitting our general ideology, we're basically OK with this! The price is right, it looks fiiiiine, and so forth. Is it in the same level as all those APs that were announced last week? Well no, but we think it's cool overall, silly name notwithstanding. We're in a good mood this week! We then take a tangent to discuss WHAT THE HECK IS HAPPENING to design and/or aesthetics in this country. We then take another tangent to plug our Discord. We're still in the early stages of figuring this out so please be kind. Victor has some thoughts on the Alpina Alpiner Extreme Automatic Freeride World Tour, leading to an overall discussion on Alpina itself. Thaaat's about it!

Hello and welcome to yet another exciting edition of The HourTime Show, the official podcast of WristWatchReview.com. Your hosts this week are John (@johnbiggs on Twitter) and Nicholas (@nicholasadeleon). Strap in for a weird one, friends. With Victor out, John and Nicholas take you on a meandering meta journey about the meaning of life and a bunch of other stuff. I love this discussion to be honest. Now if you listen to a watch podcast expecting to eventually hear about watches, good news: We talk about this new Kross Studios Bob Fett tourbillon, this Christopher Ward Dune GMT, and this Shinola GMT.

Hello and welcome to yet another exciting edition of The HourTime Show, the official podcast of WristWatchReview.com. Your hosts this week are John (@johnbiggs on Twitter), Victor (@vmarks) and Nicholas (@nicholasadeleon). This is the first podcast of 2023, so hooray! We should be back to our normal recording schedule from now on. At the top of the show we reveal that Nicholas (IE, the person writing these show notes) has left New York for Tucson, Arizona. See you in heck, New York! As far as watch news go, we discuss a couple of nice pieces including this handsome Traska GMT that apparently we all love; this Vulcain skindiver that we're ehhh on; the (potential) impact of the (potential) recession; and this Laventure Automobile Chronograph, which we're also sorta meh on.

Hello and welcome to yet another exciting edition of The HourTime Show, the official podcast of WristWatchReview.com. Your hosts this week are John (@johnbiggs on Twitter), Victor (@vmarks) and Nicholas (@nicholasadeleon). Welcome to the final episode of 2022. Sorry we've been AWOL, but for a number of reasons that are explained here we were unable to record. We touch on a few topics in this episode, including the Barstool Sports guy's dumb watch; Timex's weird NFT thing; John trying to eBay this Seiko he no longer wants; and what we're happy and/or thankful for this year. I (Nicholas) edited this episode, so apologies if it's not up to our usual standard. Keep it locked to WristWatchReview.com and @wristwatchreview on Instagram for more fun watch content. Thank you for listening, and we'll see you at some point in January!

Hello and welcome to yet another exciting edition of The HourTime Show, the official podcast of WristWatchReview.com. Your hosts this week are John (@johnbiggs on Twitter), Victor (@vmarks) and Nicholas (@nicholasadeleon). We open The Pod with a status update on Nicholas: He's alive! Yup, he had The Covid and was out of commission for several days there. But he's feeling much better now. Hooray! Believe it or not but we actually talk about watches this week, focusing on some Black Friday deals we think you should keep an eye on. We mostly touch on brands like Timex and Invicta (!) but then also suggest visiting sites like Chrono24 to find vintage pieces this holiday shopping season. Nicholas also wanted to randomly highlight this RGM Yellowstone National Park watch. Neat! Thanks once again to Andrew Haworth for producing this week's episode.

Hello and welcome to yet another exciting edition of The HourTime Show, the official podcast of WristWatchReview.com. Your hosts this week are John (@johnbiggs on Twitter) and Victor (@vmarks). Nicholas was recovering from The Covid when this was recorded but should be back in the saddle next week. John and Victor discuss a bunch of stuff this week including Yema doing a Kickstarter for a Wristrmaster Traveler Micro-Rotor, which vaguely resembles a Royal Oak. If you back the Kickstarter it can be yours for roughly $1,500 but if you wait for retail availability it'll set you back closer to $3,000. Ouch! We then shift to a discussion of Timex's collab... thing with Fortnite. We're cautiously pro-VR/AR/etc here but this has us scratching our heads... but we could just be old, who knows. There's actually a decent discussion here on the evolution of media and various moral panics ("comic books will destroy children's souls!" etc.) so you're in for a treat. The last big topic we discuss is vintage watches. We're slightly skeptical of vintage watches because you generally don't know what you're getting but John recently purchased a Seiko Speedtimer and Victor got a Duward Aquastar. Hear them chew over their decisions! Speaking of vintage watches, there was a really good article over at Fratello about Zoomers apparently loving them. That's about it for this week. Thanks once again to Andrew Haworth for producing this week's episode. Keep it locked to WristWatchReview.com and @wristwatchreview on Instagram for more fun watch content.

Hello and welcome to yet another exciting edition of The HourTime Show, the official podcast of WristWatchReview.com. Your hosts this week are John (@johnbiggs on Twitter), Victor (@vmarks), and Nicholas (@nicholasadeleon). One quick note: Producer Andrew is traveling over the next few weeks so Nicholas is handling editing duties. It *should* sound fine but, unlike Andrew, Nicholas is not a professional editor. You've been warned! Moving on. John opens the show with his thoughts on the Benrus 3061, which we basically all love. If you look up "field watch" in the Watch Geek Dictionary you'll see a photo of it. Not bad for a $600 jawn that was featured in the movie Bullitt! We then turn to a topic Nicholas saw in a local newspaper about how everyone hates Daylight Saving Time, and that its days may be numbered. We go into the history or "point," perhaps, of switching the clocks back and forth every spring and autumn, and basically land on the idea of: pick one and stick with it. At this point, Victor brings up Swatch's old idea, from the late 90s, of "Internet Time," which was an attempt to create a universal time zone, in a sense, that used a measurement called beats and was featured in Phantasy Star Online. Let's bring it back! Victor then runs us through a $30,000 Zenith psychedelic chrono that he believes resembles those old Trapper Keepers. Lastly, we go over the Omega MoonSwatch. Turns out that A) John bought one in Poland a few months ago and B) it's going on tour over the next couple of weeks in a few cities in California and Florida. So, if you want a MoonSwatch and live in one of these cities, feel free to hit up Swatch on social media for more details. And that, as they say, is that.

We update everyone on the release of the Lorier Neptune Series IV, which went on sale on Friday Oct. 14 but has already sold out. If you want one now Lorier estimates the next batch will ship in March 2023. Then there's some Bicycle Talk. Sorry. We then discuss Tag's new Mario chrono, which we KIND OF like but not entirely. Full credit to A Blog To Watch for their awesome photography of the watch though. Next: Nicholas has been dual wristing with an Apple Watch SE and regular watches. Is this MADNESS? We discuss. We continue with Apple Watch talk and then Victor explains how to customize your Apple Watch dial using an app called Clockology. Thanks once again to Andrew Haworth for producing this week's episode. Keep it locked to WristWatchReview.com and @wristwatchreview on Instagram for more fun watch content.

Hello and welcome to yet another exciting edition of The HourTime Show, the official podcast of WristWatchReview.com. Your hosts this week, for the first time in a million years, are John (@johnbiggs on Twitter), Victor (@vmarks) and Nicholas (@nicholasadeleon). Hooray! John opens the show with some alarm clock talk and the whimsy of Brooklyn! In terms of watches, we've got a bunch actually this week. Victor discusses the Ollech & Wajs M110 which he recently saw in Paris; John brings up the Redwood V2 (of course, the automatic version) and an annoying problem with Miyota movements; Nicholas discusses the new Apple Watch SE which he bought because his trusty Series 4 finally died; and more!

Howdy folks! This is Nicholas writing the show notes, as I do every week, just to add some context to this quick episode. As I explain, John and Victor are still in Europe so we couldn't coordinate a time to record, but I did want to highlight some cool stuff in the meantime. But first: We've been having some technical difficulties which means there's a good chance many of you did not listen to the episode ("Hello Again!") that we released on Sept. 26. It should be available in your feeds now, and the direct link to the episode is here. These glitches appear to be fixed now but we did want to apologize for the inconvenience. Back to watches: Please check out Patrick's take on the recently released Shinola Mechanic as well as the latest Timex x Todd Snyder. Also: please read my article on gaming chairs on Consumer Reports! I think that's about it for this week. I'm sure you know where to find us but don't forget to visit WristWatchReview.com as well as on Instagram. And if you want to reach us directly feel free to email us at tips@wristwatchreview.com or ping us on Twitter: John is @johnbiggs, Victor is @vmarks, and I am @nicholasadeleon. Thank you, have a great week!

Hello and welcome to yet another exciting edition of The HourTime Show, the official podcast of WristWatchReview.com. Your hosts this week are Victor (@vmarks on Twitter) and Nicholas (@nicholasadeleon). John was AFK while we we recording because we recorded at a weird time. We're back! As we said a few weeks ago, all three of us were going to be traveling all over the place during the month of September so it was not going to be possible to record. Victor is technically in London right now with a MacGyver recording setup but he sounds OK. Moving on. We have a bit of follow-up on the Garmin Forerunner 955 Solar that Nicholas bought a month and a bit ago. Does he still like it? DOES HE NOW HATE IT? Listen to find out! If you're intrigued by all this "quantified self" or "sleep tracking" stuff this is the segment for you. Victor, after discussing his experience with a pair of Atoms shoes during his trip, has real watch news as well, including some stuff from Ollech & Wajs and Armand Nicolet. That's about it for this week. Thanks once again to Andrew Haworth for producing this week's episode.

Hello and welcome to yet another exciting edition of The HourTime Show, the official podcast of WristWatchReview.com. Your hosts this week are Victor (@vmarks on Twitter) and Nicholas (@nicholasadeleon). John (@johnbiggs) is still in Europe so he couldn't record, but he wants you to know that he loves you. We open this week with a bit of an explanation as to why we've released episodes at a weird clip over the past few weeks. Basically, between travel and work stuff, we have not been able to consistently get a quorum at our usual recording time. Victor and I (Nicholas; I write these notes) will be in and out with travel of our own over the next few weeks as well, but don't fret: this is just the dog days of summer, and we'll be back to our regular-as-rain schedule probably by mid-September. We also have a question: Should we do video? YouTube is making a big podcast "push," so we're kicking around the idea of doing a video version of HourTime. We don't mind either way, but if THE PEOPLE DEMAND IT we'll consider it more seriously. Nicholas's recent appearance on This Week In Tech is a good preview of what this would look like. Onward! This week we discuss a range of issues including Nicholas's extended thoughts on his brand new Garmin 955 Solar smartwatch, which he bought to sort of give him a kick in the pants to get better at jogging. It's pretty good, especially the battery life! We'll see how the new "sport" Apple Watch, which is expected to be announced in early September, compares. Victor then gives his thoughts on the Redwood Tactical V2, a solar diver that he also likes! We then also talk travel watch strategies: Do you risk getting a nice watch stolen or lost, or do you buck up and say, "Let's go, baby!" Do you bring several watches? This great article over at Fratello goes over some travel watch ideas going into this more. Victor's solution: building his own watch! We then touch on an updated Oris Divers Sixty Five, featuring the brand's own Caliber 400 movement. I can't link to it at the moment I'm writing these notes, but I'm sure if you Google around *right now* you'll find it. Thanks once again to Andrew Haworth for producing this week's episode.

Hello and welcome to yet another exciting episode of The HourTime Show, the official podcast of WristWatchReview.com. Your hosts this week are Victor (@vmarks) and Nicholas (@nicholasadeleon). John is still in Europe and will be unable to record for a little bit longer. This week we have a special episode where Victor and I interview Barry Cohen, the co-founder of Luminox and currently of ProTek, a watch brand that Patrick recently wrote about for the site. Victor and I pick Barry's brain on all sorts of stuff, including what it was like launching a watch brand in the 80s/90s compared to today; dealing with online influencers; ProTek's support of first responders; and more! If you like our discussions on the business side of watches this episode is for you. Big thanks to Barry for making the time to speak with us. As a reminder, if you use the promo code "hourtime" at checkout at ProTek you'll get 20 percent off your order and a free t-shirt. Very cool! Lastly, thank you again to Andrew Haworth for producing this week's episode. Have a great week, and be sure to catch Nicholas's most recent appearance on Leo Laporte's This Week In Tech if you're a fan of our occasional tech talk!

Hello and welcome to a special edition of The HourTime Show, the official podcast of WristWatchReview.com. Your host this week is Nicholas (@nicholasadeleon on Twitter). This week we have the honor and privilege of talking to Lauren and Lorenzo from Lorier Watches, a brand we've discussed many times of the pod before. We reached out to discuss the upcoming Neptune Series IV and ended up discussing basically everything related to running a watch brand here in 2022, including what inspires them, logistical challenges created by all this supply chain *stuff*, how to navigate online comments, and more. If you're interested in learning more about what it actual takes to run a watch brand this is the episode for you. One quick note: because of our recording setup you may sometimes notice a slight echo here and there but I did my best to tamp that down. We also lost our internet connection about halfway though, so there's a brief pause while we regroup. Otherwise, sit back and enjoy! Thank you to Lauren and Lorenzo for taking the time to speak with us. Please visit their website, LorierWatches.com, for more information on their upcoming releases and to sign up for their email newsletter.

Hello and welcome to yet another exciting edition of The HourTime Show, the official podcast of WristWatchReview.com. Your hosts this week are John (@johnbiggs on Twitter), Victor (@vmarks) and Nicholas (@nicholasadeleon). Hooray! After a small amount of delightful banter we jump right into John's HOT TAKE~! on the new Seiko GMT that we've been talking about the past few weeks. It's not perfect, but it's pretty good! We then talk about the "value" of $1000-ish three-handers or whether or not you're better off going with a $200 AliExpress piece. There's a few more points we touch on but that about does it.

Hello and welcome to yet another exciting edition of The HourTime Show, the official podcast of WristWatchReview.com. Your hosts this week are John (@johnbiggs on Twitter), Victor (@vmarks) and Nicholas (@nicholasadeleon). Full house! We touch on a handful of topics this week but spend the bulk of our time on the MoonSwatch, the mega-hyped watch that took the watch world *by storm* just a few months ago. Our question: why is it still so hard to buy this thing? There's going to be a MoonSwatch Summer Tour all across Europe over the next few weeks, but you still have to jump through hoops (ie, visit a boutique, of which there are only a handful!) to actually buy one. What gives?! MoonSwatch aside, John reveals that he's purchased a Seiko GMT, which should arrive in a few days. Consider this a tease for his full hands-on impressions hopefully next week! John also gives his thoughts on the new Bulova A-11 Hack, which for $400-ish seems pretty cool, and Victor gives his extended review of the Yema Superman 500 that we discussed a few weeks ago. There's a few more but that about does it for this week. Thanks once again to Andrew Haworth for producing this week's episode.

Hello and welcome to yet another exciting edition of The HourTime Show, the official podcast of WristWatchReview.com. Your hosts this week are Victor (@vmarks on Twitter) and Nicholas (@nicholasadeleon). John, alas, could not record this week. He sends his regards, probably. Every once in a while we have a week that's chock full of watch news, and this is one of those weeks! Your pals discuss everything from the new Tudor Ranger, which, eh, we're not super into; the Moser x Undefeated "collab," which we're also not super into; and the Lorier Neptune Series IV, which we are into. In other Lorier news, we're hoping to get them on the pod in the next couple of weeks, so stay tuned! Victor also has a WWR Chrono update but you'll have to visit the website, uh, this week, for further details. There's a bit more but that's the gist of this week.

Hello and welcome to yet another exciting edition of The HourTime Show, the official podcast of WristWatchReview.com. Your hosts this week are Victor (@vmarks on Twitter) and Nicholas (@nicholasadeleon). John, alas, could not record this week. After a bit of preamble, including the status of Victor's air conditioning system and Nicholas's delightful recent appearance on the Lan Jam Podcast, we do in fact talk about watches this week. Hooray! Most of our focus is on a couple of recently announced King Seikos, including the very handsome purple dial SPB291 (around $2000), that both Victor and Nicholas are quite into! Victor then gives his hands-on impression of the recently announced Yema Superman 500, a $1200-ish diver that he currently has on loan. He's a big fan! Why? You'll have to listen to find out. There's a bit more but that's the gist of this week. Thanks once again to Andrew Haworth for producing this week's episode.

Hello and welcome to yet another exciting edition of The HourTime Show, the official podcast of WristWatchReview.com. Your hosts this week are John (@johnbiggs on Twitter), Victor (@vmarks), and Nicholas (@nicholasadeleon). We've got a short and sweet episode this week because John is recovering from Covid and Victor's air conditioner died. Nicholas asks that you please read his article on office chairs in Consumer Reports. Thank you. As far as watches go, we mostly talk this week about GMTs and how they're useful, with John now fully on board with the new Seiko GMTs that were just announced. John notes that he often sees tech bros with more money than sense (cents?) spending all sorts of money on three-handers, which causes him great pain. The rich get richer! Hat tip to fan of the show @ayhcheung on Twitter for flagging the Miyota movement we discuss here. That about does it this week. Like we said, short and sweet this week.

There is nothing wrong with your smartphone. Do not attempt to adjust your audio settings. We are controlling transmission. Yes that's right, it's time for our first-ever emergency podcast! John (@johnbiggs on Twitter) is traveling for work, but Victor (@vmarks) and Nicholas (@nicholasadeleon, aka the person writing these notes) wanted crack open their mics to talk about the just-announced Seiko SKX-style GMTs that were made official earlier today. Yes, we've discussed these before, but now we have the full details. Look for them this summer for around $500-ish. We also touch on (and actually open the show with, because of course we do) some Apple watchOS 9 stuff that was announced on Monday (this is the Nintendo thing Nicholas mentions), a handful of new Garmin smartwatches, and Nicholas gives his full thoughts on the Seiko SPB239 / SBDC141 that he just purchased. Is a $1000 Seiko worth it? You'll have to listen to find out! Thank you for listening, hopefully it sounds halfway decent. Keep it locked to WristWatchReview.com for more fun watch content. We'll see you in a few days!

Hello and welcome to yet another exciting edition of The HourTime Show, the official podcast of WristWatchReview.com. Your hosts this week are John (@johnbiggs on Twitter), Victor (@vmarks), and Nicholas (@nicholasadeleon). We tackle a few big topics this week. The first is the very strong rumor of an SKX-style GMT coming from Seiko, uh, any minute now. Victor has the lowdown on the main site if you want to read the specs, but it appears we're looking at a $500-ish GMT that very closely resembles the SKX/5KX family of divers. Are your pals interested? Maybe... maybe not. Nicholas then notes he recently broke the four-digit mark for the very first time, having purchased the Seiko SPB239 (technically the JDM version from Gnomon Watches which is the SBDC141.) He received the watch in the mail literally the day after recording so stay tuned for the full review. (Spoiler: It's gooood... mostly.) Lastly, the main event: we discuss the "culture" surrounding getting a discount while buying watches. Nicholas spotted an article on Fratello the other day talking about whether or not getting a discount at ADs is over, and it sparked a discussion on the whole deal. There's a bit more but that's the gist. Thanks once again to Andrew Haworth for producing this week's episode.

Hello everyone, Nicholas here. We couldn't get everyone this weekend to record, being Memorial Day weekend and all, so we're re-rerunning the very first episode from this incarnation of The HourTime Show from December 2020. The audio is not quite up to our current standards, but it should be listenable. Anyway, enjoy this blast from the past, which mostly consists of how John and Nicholas met and how we all got into watches. Other podcasts might charge for this sort of rare archive material, but we're giving it away for free! In the meantime, keep it locked to WristWatchReview.com for more fun watch content. We'll see you next week!

Hello and welcome to yet another exciting edition of The HourTime Show, the official podcast of WristWatchReview.com. Your hosts this week are John (@johnbiggs on Twitter), Victor (@vmarks), and Nicholas (@nicholasadeleon). We've got a breezy episode for you this week as Victor opens with an update on that WT Author Kickstarter he had mentioned a few weeks ago (now with his review!); we bring up our still-on-paper plans to produce our own watch; whether or not smartwatches actually help you lose weight, featuring a shout-out to Nicholas's article in Hodinkee last fall about that very subject; and how "a guy we know" did very well in crypto and is now looking for a shiny new Tag to buy. There's a bit more but that's the gist. Thanks once again to Andrew Haworth for producing this week's episode.

Hello and welcome to yet another exciting edition of The HourTime Show, the official podcast of WristWatchReview.com. Your hosts this week are John (@johnbiggs on Twitter), Victor (@vmarks), and Nicholas (@nicholasadeleon). Full house! This week we open with some house business. First, I (Nicholas) would like to apologize to everyone who reads these show notes because Spotify had recently and *without our authorization* been inserting donation links into them. They claim it was a bug but who knows. I am not exaggerating when I say I was pretty annoyed when I discovered that. John then calls out Teddy Baldassarre's team for wanting to pay us to swap a set of affiliate links we have on the site for links of their own. This was news to me when John brought it up (he handles the business stuff when it comes to the site itself), but is another example of something we talk about all the time: Is all of this *watch stuff* journalism? Is it mere content for your social media feeds? Does anyone else care about this? Anyway, as I've said in the past, I'm a fan of Teddy's YouTube channel and think he does very good stuff, so we'll see how this plays out. We then touch on something we noticed on Worn and Wound a few days ago, policing the use of the phrase "poor man." Now, it turns out that my comment was *eventually* published, but it wasn't published for at least a day! Anyway, we are fired up!!! We then move onto the idea of the ethics of collecting WWII-era watches. John stumbled upon a Ukrainian eBay seller who is selling what he claims to be watches produced for Nazi Germany's military. What are the rules here? We debate. Lastly, we then dive into the just-announced Google Pixel Watch. Overall, our impressions are along the lines of, "Well, if this gives Android users a solid smartwatch for the first time maybe ever (?), then that's good."

Hello friends, Nicholas here. Your pals were unable to record this week so we've decided to re-run the March episode where we gave our initial reactions to the Omega MoonSwatch. If you've already listened to that episode, well, I guess you can delete this. But if you haven't, enjoy! Be sure to keep it locked to WristWatchReview.com for more fun watch content.
