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 i

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.Thank you for listening, and have

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.Thank you for listening, and 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 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 dis

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.Keep it locked to WristWatchReview.com and @wristwatchreview on Instagram for more fun watch content.Thank you for listening, 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 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.Keep it locked to WristWatchReview.com and @wristwatchreview on Instagram for more fun watch content.Thank you for listening, 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 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.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 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

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

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).After some brief Baseball Talk, we jump right into the Watch Talk.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 WristWat

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!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!

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 i

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 Arman

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, bu

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 Ha

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
