00:00:08,640 --> 00:00:11,640
Welcome to this Watch LIVE. 
Hi, I'm Lydia Winters. 

2
00:00:11,720 --> 00:00:14,920
And I'm Vu Bui. 
So what would you say is your 

3
00:00:14,920 --> 00:00:17,920
typical first impression of a 
watch? 

4
00:00:18,360 --> 00:00:21,560
My first impression is typically
like, oh, I love it. 

5
00:00:21,560 --> 00:00:24,920
It's so amazing. 
No, OK, My typical first. 

6
00:00:24,920 --> 00:00:28,240
No, my typical first impression 
is like Leah, Leah. 

7
00:00:28,520 --> 00:00:30,440
It really is. 
I don't know why. 

8
00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:33,680
I don't either. 
It's but it's like I immediately

9
00:00:33,680 --> 00:00:37,760
I'm like, it's a no for me. 
Like for no reason whatsoever. 

10
00:00:37,800 --> 00:00:43,480
I believe almost every watch you
own when you first saw it you 

11
00:00:43,480 --> 00:00:47,240
were like Nah. 
Yeah, I'm a, I'm a, I'm a quick 

12
00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:48,360
naysayer. 
You are. 

13
00:00:48,360 --> 00:00:50,840
I'm like very quick. 
Very quick to. 

14
00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:56,520
Haters gonna hate is what I say,
which is what brings us to the 

15
00:00:56,520 --> 00:00:58,480
topic of today. 
Oh, wow. 

16
00:00:58,480 --> 00:01:01,400
Which is watch enthusiast 
pitfalls. 

17
00:01:01,400 --> 00:01:02,800
That's what we're calling it. 
OK. 

18
00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:05,160
Or I mean, you could say like, 
are they pitfalls? 

19
00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:08,480
They're they're more like 
thinking poorly. 

20
00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:11,960
Poor falls. 
Yeah, they're, they're 

21
00:01:11,960 --> 00:01:17,200
definitely ways that I think we 
could all be more open. 

22
00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:20,840
I include myself in this. 
Oh, no, I hate her. 

23
00:01:20,960 --> 00:01:25,200
Yeah, I I live here and I'm 
trying to get out of it because 

24
00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:29,560
I really appreciate watches. 
I appreciate when someone is 

25
00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:30,360
not. 
When they're new. 

26
00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:33,440
Well, The thing is I appreciate 
it when it's on someone's wrist 

27
00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:36,360
and they have chosen it, but 
it's more of just like for me, 

28
00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:40,120
when I first see it, just on its
own, I'm like bull. 

29
00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:43,040
Yeah, no, I know. 
I, I think everyone knows that 

30
00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:49,480
is how, but I, I think in 
general, most people are a 

31
00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:52,280
little too critical of most 
things, yeah. 

32
00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:55,720
Yeah, yeah, yeah. 
You can put yourself into that 

33
00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:56,960
too. 
What? 

34
00:01:57,320 --> 00:02:00,600
What? 
Do you really think so? 

35
00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:03,720
But I think a word that that's 
been kind of like. 

36
00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:07,240
We've heard it a lot. 
Recently, and I know I know I've

37
00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:11,120
said it before, but I it's kind 
of like irking me lately. 

38
00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:16,240
Is this this phrase in in the 
watch community? 

39
00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:20,800
And it's like, oh, it was an 
afterthought and I. 

40
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:24,000
It bothers me a lot. 
The reason it it bothers me is 

41
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:28,240
because I actually feel that 
it's just a different priority 

42
00:02:28,640 --> 00:02:30,600
because you have like X amount 
of money. 

43
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:33,920
You're building a watch. 
Of course you are actually 

44
00:02:33,920 --> 00:02:36,080
you're thinking about every 
aspect. 

45
00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:38,160
It's a choice, not an 
afterthought. 

46
00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:42,560
So maybe you move the money over
to you say like I want the best 

47
00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:47,560
dial in the world and then that 
means I don't have as much money

48
00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:50,600
for the bracelet or the clasp or
the finishing. 

49
00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:54,840
You know, like you're, it's 
always about priorities and not 

50
00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:59,200
about not thinking about it. 
When you when you say someone 

51
00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:04,200
just didn't think about it, it 
takes away all of the work that 

52
00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:05,960
they've done. 
Well, the weird thing is, it's a

53
00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:10,640
strange assumption to make is 
that if someone does something 

54
00:03:10,640 --> 00:03:14,920
that you don't like, then you 
assume that either they're 

55
00:03:14,920 --> 00:03:18,440
incompetent, yeah, or that they.
Don't care, I assume those two 

56
00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:21,320
things. 
But most people probably don't 

57
00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:24,080
assume that about themselves. 
Right. 

58
00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:27,360
It's like, oh, no, I did that 
because that's a conscious 

59
00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:30,000
choice. 
Like I, I, I thought about it, I

60
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:33,840
came up with a reason and then I
did the thing that I thought was

61
00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:36,000
right. 
But if someone else does 

62
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:39,320
something, then it's like, oh, 
they didn't even care about it. 

63
00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:42,720
And I feel like we need to be 
more open and understanding 

64
00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:47,440
that, OK, in the many years I've
worked with so many people who 

65
00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:51,160
create things, make things, 
build things, whatever that is. 

66
00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:55,480
I don't know if not caring is 
the thing that I've. 

67
00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:59,040
Seen what I often see. 
Is it what you said is a 

68
00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:02,600
prioritization? 
And usually it's because we're 

69
00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:05,440
all constrained in various ways.
Maybe the constraint is budget, 

70
00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:07,480
Maybe the constraint is time, 
right? 

71
00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:11,000
There's deadlines there. 
There are many reasons that 

72
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:15,360
people make decisions that you 
don't like, but I think the 

73
00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:18,720
least likely, especially for 
these brands where this is 

74
00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:22,580
people, especially when you look
at the these smaller brands, mm 

75
00:04:22,580 --> 00:04:25,840
hmm, micro brands, right? 
This is someone who's like 

76
00:04:25,840 --> 00:04:27,960
taking a huge risk in their 
life, probably. 

77
00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:30,880
Mm hmm. 
And doing something that has a 

78
00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:34,400
very high chance of failure and 
you're like, ah, they probably 

79
00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:38,040
didn't even care about. 
It he's like, think about it so.

80
00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:42,400
I think we could do a little 
more, assuming good intent. 

81
00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:48,480
Yes, I, I was thinking about, so
we have a friend and he's 

82
00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:52,000
Swedish and he says this thing 
like where he kind of like he 

83
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:56,520
gives an opinion, but then he 
kind of says this like, or at 

84
00:04:56,520 --> 00:05:00,520
the end. 
So it's like, yeah, I, I don't 

85
00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:05,080
really think that they even 
thought about that or, and it, I

86
00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:08,240
don't know, there's something 
about this or question mark that

87
00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:12,360
leaves it open that like I, my 
opinion might be wrong and I 

88
00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:14,040
really like that. 
I need that 'cause I'm very 

89
00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:15,480
opinionated. 
Yeah, yeah, yeah. 

90
00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:18,680
But I do think we could back it 
up one more sentence and just 

91
00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:21,600
not assume that someone didn't 
care about. 

92
00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:24,560
No, not that they didn't care, 
but I mean, you could say I 

93
00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:27,480
think that they, you know, they 
were probably thinking about 

94
00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:29,400
this. 
Yeah, that I think is OK. 

95
00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:32,520
You know, and you kind of just 
like leave open, yeah, this, 

96
00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:35,600
this or leaves open the 
possibility that there's many 

97
00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:37,440
other things that could. 
Have happened the thing that 

98
00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:41,520
bothers me the most is when the 
assumption is they didn't even 

99
00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:44,000
think about it. 
Yeah, and I I that one, I'm 

100
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:48,720
like, you know, maybe it's true.
Sometimes there are people out 

101
00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:52,160
there who are like, hey, I'm 
gonna start a watch brand just 

102
00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:56,840
to make a quick buck. 
Well, let's just say that these 

103
00:05:56,840 --> 00:06:01,120
people exist and they're like, 
and I don't care at all about 

104
00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:04,880
bracelets or crowns. 
I'm only gonna think about the 

105
00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:07,640
other parts. 
And then if I have time, I will 

106
00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:11,600
slightly after think about the 
bracelet and crown. 

107
00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:14,240
Right, like they these people 
could exist. 

108
00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:19,080
However, I'm gonna guess they 
are the extreme rarity. 

109
00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:23,800
Yeah, it is nice to think about.
Look, people put thought into 

110
00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:27,680
it, and I guess this brings us 
to our next like a watch 

111
00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:30,520
enthusiast pitfall. 
I wanted to turn it into a game 

112
00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:34,880
show, Vu said. 
No, it's not made for you. 

113
00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:38,320
I I just don't get the game 
show. 

114
00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:42,320
OK, OK anyway, but it it is just
like again back to this is like 

115
00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:43,600
maybe it's just not made for 
you. 

116
00:06:43,840 --> 00:06:48,160
That is probably the most of the
things you don't like in 

117
00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:50,080
something like watches. 
Yeah, I think. 

118
00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:53,920
It's similar to clothing or 
other things that the aesthetics

119
00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:55,440
are really important. 
Yeah. 

120
00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:57,720
Like it's probably just not made
for you. 

121
00:06:57,760 --> 00:07:00,360
Yeah, I think we've talked about
this before, but it was a long 

122
00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:02,000
time ago, so I'm going to talk 
about it again. 

123
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:04,920
And we've done over 100. 
Episodes but you have this great

124
00:07:05,280 --> 00:07:08,000
like you told me about this 
great saying in Vietnamese, 

125
00:07:08,280 --> 00:07:11,600
which is like, I don't know how 
to eat that yeah, so it's. 

126
00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:14,920
Like instead of saying, I'll, I 
don't like that it's usually 

127
00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:17,000
about food. 
Well, yeah, 'cause it's about 

128
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:19,080
food. 
It is about food, not usual. 

129
00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:24,320
And you, you instead of saying 
like, I don't like that or 

130
00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:27,640
that's not good, you just say, I
don't know how to eat. 

131
00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:30,720
That so there's not a The thing 
is, I don't know how to eat that

132
00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:34,320
is like you're not judging it 
and you aren't. 

133
00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:36,480
You're putting it on you. 
Yeah, like I'm just. 

134
00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:39,200
My thing is, is not that. 
Yeah, yeah. 

135
00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:44,400
I really like when, when people 
do that in like watch reviews. 

136
00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:47,360
I think Brit Pierce is really 
great at it. 

137
00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:49,880
You know, this kind of like, 
hey, this is, this is really 

138
00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:53,640
just my opinion. 
Like, I, this isn't made for me,

139
00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:56,400
but it's probably made for a lot
of other people. 

140
00:07:56,400 --> 00:07:59,160
Yeah. 
And that's that's, that's a good

141
00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:01,880
thing, Yeah. 
That we don't just have like one

142
00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:04,840
watch. 
It's like, oh, here is watch. 

143
00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:05,760
Yeah. 
Right. 

144
00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:08,600
Hope you like it. 
No, you have to like it. 

145
00:08:08,840 --> 00:08:10,040
There's no 'cause there's only 
watch. 

146
00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:13,200
There is only watch and you can 
buy watch. 

147
00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:15,800
The yeah, that's true. 
If you think of it the opposite 

148
00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:19,520
way, the more watches that 
aren't for you just means that 

149
00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:23,640
there's a lot of watches out 
there and more different people 

150
00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:28,000
are joining the watch world. 
Yeah, and I would not like it if

151
00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:30,000
everyone had the same thing as 
me. 

152
00:08:30,640 --> 00:08:34,280
So what I want is for everyone 
to like different things and 

153
00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:37,320
then everyone to make different 
things and then I get to have. 

154
00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:40,840
The ones you. 
That feels like, oh, this says 

155
00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:43,400
something about me. 
Well, this is like the the White

156
00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:46,520
Birch and it has a little 
wagtail on the back. 

157
00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:50,040
And I'm sure that a lot of 
people are like, or, you know, 

158
00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:54,320
the Birch bark people are like, 
I don't, I bird. 

159
00:08:54,760 --> 00:08:56,160
Bird. 
Maybe they poop on things. 

160
00:08:56,720 --> 00:09:01,720
They don't like it, but it's 
still like that the the extremes

161
00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:05,040
of it of having this like more 
playful or something, you know, 

162
00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:08,880
colorful or things that can feel
more like I that's not for 

163
00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:11,080
anyone. 
No one likes a pink tutor. 

164
00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:13,840
That's not. 
True, but that OK, OK. 

165
00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:17,960
That's. 
Even worse than the afterthought

166
00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:22,640
thing is I see this mainly in 
comments on things whether it's 

167
00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:26,440
on Reddit or Instagram is people
saying no one wants this? 

168
00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:30,120
Yeah, but then, then. 
No, that's probably not true, 

169
00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:34,280
because at least at least the 
person who designed it probably 

170
00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:35,920
wanted. 
It what does the crowd say? 

171
00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:40,080
It's not made for you. 
And I just wish that we could 

172
00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:42,160
have that perspective, but OK, 
OK. 

173
00:09:42,560 --> 00:09:46,640
The last one, very interesting. 
I haven't thought of it as much,

174
00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:49,920
but we were watching, as always,
the amazing Brit Pierce. 

175
00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:55,160
And she made a video recently 
about going to a Bulgari event. 

176
00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:59,040
And one of the things she talked
about, because she was looking 

177
00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:04,520
at the Octofenisimo, the, the 
very thin tour beyond, you know,

178
00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:08,720
amazing watch. 
And it's like 600,000 lbs. 

179
00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:10,600
Yeah. 
And she was like, you know, I 

180
00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:14,520
think sometimes watch 
enthusiasts only really 

181
00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:16,800
appreciate what's in their price
range. 

182
00:10:17,560 --> 00:10:20,800
I thought that was such an 
interesting observation because 

183
00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:24,000
I do agree sometimes you just 
write something off because it's

184
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:26,560
outside of your price range. 
But instead. 

185
00:10:26,560 --> 00:10:29,760
I do that every day. 
Yeah, it's I was trying not to 

186
00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:34,080
like literally point my finger 
and be like, it's the guy across

187
00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:36,120
for me. 
I'm the overly critical one. 

188
00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:39,040
You are the like if it's not in 
my price range. 

189
00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:41,880
But but but then I'm just not 
interested. 

190
00:10:41,880 --> 00:10:43,760
Not interested, but that's what 
she was saying. 

191
00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:46,840
She wasn't saying like, save up 
all your money for like. 

192
00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:48,880
You know, like it's not about 
hating those. 

193
00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:50,760
No, I'm not like. 
It's not. 

194
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:53,440
Shouldn't exist. 
It's not about pining over it. 

195
00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:57,240
I think her point was just that 
it's so cool that it exists. 

196
00:10:57,320 --> 00:11:01,280
It exists in watchmaking. 
It's trying to push watchmaking 

197
00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:03,480
or design and. 
That stuff trickles down to the 

198
00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:04,800
affordables. 
Exactly. 

199
00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:09,160
So I think there's like bringing
that curiosity, I guess is the 

200
00:11:09,160 --> 00:11:13,520
positive side towards like not 
appreciating just this wider 

201
00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:16,480
range of watches. 
Yeah, either up or down from 

202
00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:20,440
your price range, so. 
We are going to do things. 

203
00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:27,080
Yeah. 
Turns out OK, OK, we want to be 

204
00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:29,840
able to talk about like specific
watches. 

205
00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:33,960
So we want to do like basically 
watch impressions where we try 

206
00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:38,200
not to fall into the pit. 
I fell into the pit. 

207
00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:42,080
If people, if people know that 
reference, I'll be very happy. 

208
00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:43,680
Oh really? 
Yeah, I'll be super stoked. 

209
00:11:43,680 --> 00:11:45,520
I know that. 
It was a very popular show. 

210
00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:47,520
I know that Mindy. 
I know that Mindy will. 

211
00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:49,080
Yeah, yeah, yeah. 
OK. 

212
00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:55,640
We right now have multiple 
watches in from manufacturers 

213
00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:58,440
where we are borrowing those 
watches to check them out. 

214
00:11:58,440 --> 00:12:01,040
Yeah. 
And we thought we'd talk a 

215
00:12:01,040 --> 00:12:04,680
little bit today about like, how
do we even plan on talking about

216
00:12:04,680 --> 00:12:06,520
those watches? 
OK, I got to tease the watches 

217
00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:10,480
real quick. 
OK, we have a Cereca 6190, the 

218
00:12:10,920 --> 00:12:13,840
California Dial Field Watch. 
Yeah, it's what? 

219
00:12:13,880 --> 00:12:16,520
Oh, I was going to do. 
The next one we have a Cereca 

220
00:12:16,560 --> 00:12:19,560
8315, the black and white travel
time. 

221
00:12:19,640 --> 00:12:23,960
That's one I've wanted to see 
for literal years in person. 

222
00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:29,080
It is and we have the Atelier 
Wencia which is the salmon dial 

223
00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:33,720
like hand turned guilloche dial 
I. 

224
00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:40,000
So all of these watches, like we
wanted to see them. 

225
00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:43,080
Yeah, I think that's an 
important part is like, for us, 

226
00:12:43,960 --> 00:12:47,320
we only want to talk about 
things that we really like at a 

227
00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:49,520
baseline. 
I guess today we were like, you 

228
00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:51,600
know what? 
We don't like being snobs and we

229
00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:53,920
sometimes are, I don't know. 
Well, OK, yeah. 

230
00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:57,600
But it's still in a positive way
of like we can all be better. 

231
00:12:58,120 --> 00:13:00,840
Yeah, yeah, I. 
Can I can be a better person? 

232
00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:04,600
I believe in myself, yeah. 
So it starts with we have to 

233
00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:08,920
already be interested in the 
watch, but we have already it it

234
00:13:08,960 --> 00:13:10,880
it is funny how quickly it 
happens. 

235
00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:14,600
We have already gotten a lot of 
offers of like, hey, we can send

236
00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:17,360
you a watch or we can send you 
these accessories or these 

237
00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:20,160
different things. 
And we turn all those down 

238
00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:23,240
because they're none of them 
have been specifically things we

239
00:13:23,240 --> 00:13:26,520
were genuinely interested in 
these three watches. 

240
00:13:27,280 --> 00:13:30,240
For me, it was the 6190, for 
you, it was the 8315. 

241
00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:34,720
And then for me it was the Sia, 
like we are already interested 

242
00:13:34,720 --> 00:13:36,680
in them. 
So at a baseline, we're like, 

243
00:13:36,680 --> 00:13:38,400
hey, this is. 
There's something interesting 

244
00:13:38,560 --> 00:13:40,360
here for me. 
Exactly. 

245
00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:45,680
And what we wanna do is like 
today, kinda talk about in 

246
00:13:45,680 --> 00:13:48,560
advance that we're going to 
speak about these watches so 

247
00:13:48,560 --> 00:13:52,120
that if there are questions that
any of you have about the 

248
00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:55,640
watches, you can ask us on 
Instagram or send us a message 

249
00:13:55,640 --> 00:14:00,200
or a voice message and and we 
will try to answer your 

250
00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:02,200
questions about the watches. 
Yeah, Yeah. 

251
00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:04,160
Because I, I think that's really
interesting. 

252
00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:06,840
One of the difficulties, 
especially with smaller brands, 

253
00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:09,360
is it's really hard to get hands
on with the watches. 

254
00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:11,240
Yeah, that's very true. 
It's a. 

255
00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:14,240
Lot of work to go create a 
podcast that's daily Monday 

256
00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:17,200
through Friday and do over 100 
episodes just so that people 

257
00:14:17,200 --> 00:14:18,800
will send them to you so you can
check them out. 

258
00:14:18,960 --> 00:14:21,160
But in fact. 
But that's what. 

259
00:14:21,160 --> 00:14:22,920
We did. 
They said we couldn't. 

260
00:14:23,040 --> 00:14:28,840
They said we wouldn't. 
So I think we want to take a 

261
00:14:28,840 --> 00:14:31,640
slightly different approach to 
talking. 

262
00:14:31,640 --> 00:14:34,320
About, which is why we made-up 
the name Watch impressions. 

263
00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:36,840
I mean, it's kind of already 
well. 

264
00:14:36,960 --> 00:14:38,360
Yeah, OK, OK. 
We. 

265
00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:40,000
Didn't make that. 
Impression OK, so we're. 

266
00:14:40,640 --> 00:14:43,560
We're we're going to use that 
because we are not going to do 

267
00:14:43,560 --> 00:14:45,640
reviews. 
I don't do reviews. 

268
00:14:45,880 --> 00:14:48,360
I've never done reviews. 
No, that's not true. 

269
00:14:48,680 --> 00:14:52,680
I think in 2001 I wrote a few 
camera reviews. 

270
00:14:52,680 --> 00:14:57,280
Oh, right. 
But I don't enjoy viewing proper

271
00:14:57,400 --> 00:15:03,240
reviews because to me, like a 
review is an objective as 

272
00:15:03,240 --> 00:15:05,600
possible, which is pretty much 
impossible. 

273
00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:09,320
But you're trying to be 
objective, but you're not really

274
00:15:09,320 --> 00:15:11,520
completely objective. 
It's a view of like the 

275
00:15:11,520 --> 00:15:15,160
features, the strengths, the 
flaws in a watch, like all the 

276
00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:21,040
good and bad. 
But it what's not good about 

277
00:15:21,040 --> 00:15:23,120
watches. 
Like watches, we're not talking 

278
00:15:23,120 --> 00:15:26,760
about cars or, or other things 
where there's like genuine 

279
00:15:26,760 --> 00:15:30,640
safety concerns and, and, and 
long term comfort things that 

280
00:15:30,640 --> 00:15:33,400
you could, you could, you could 
get into in a review. 

281
00:15:33,400 --> 00:15:36,280
We're talking about watches. 
And I think most of the 

282
00:15:36,320 --> 00:15:41,000
so-called flaws in watches are 
actually just personal opinions 

283
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:42,440
of things that people don't 
like. 

284
00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:45,160
Yeah. 
And it's also, I think the part 

285
00:15:45,160 --> 00:15:47,720
of it that's the most 
interesting is it's so personal 

286
00:15:47,720 --> 00:15:52,440
because like you said, maybe in 
a car, a car seat, the seat in 

287
00:15:52,440 --> 00:15:55,440
the car, not a child's car seat,
the seat in the car. 

288
00:15:55,440 --> 00:15:58,240
Seats isn't. 
That comfortable to you, But it 

289
00:15:58,240 --> 00:15:59,680
could be because that's also 
true. 

290
00:15:59,680 --> 00:16:03,000
You are like it. 
It's your body shape, which is 

291
00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:05,800
also the same with wrists. 
It turns. 

292
00:16:05,880 --> 00:16:08,680
Out because a lot of times 
they're like oh this strap is so

293
00:16:08,680 --> 00:16:12,240
comfortable and someone else is 
like no, it's not at all or you 

294
00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:14,440
know. 
Like sizing, I also think sizing

295
00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:16,480
is one of those things, right? 
Like people are like this watch 

296
00:16:16,480 --> 00:16:18,960
is just too big or too thick or 
whatever that is. 

297
00:16:19,120 --> 00:16:23,280
It's like again for you 
probably, but there are people 

298
00:16:23,280 --> 00:16:24,760
with larger wrists or. 
There are. 

299
00:16:24,800 --> 00:16:27,000
People who just like big watches
on small. 

300
00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:30,840
Wrists and they cannot lie. 
A funny, a funny thing is so 

301
00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:32,920
yesterday. 
This really tells you a lot 

302
00:16:32,920 --> 00:16:36,840
about my family, I think in 
probably an interesting way. 

303
00:16:37,520 --> 00:16:40,000
Both. 
So my mom wrote to me 

304
00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:43,600
immediately upon listening to 
the episode and said ha ha ha, 

305
00:16:43,680 --> 00:16:47,200
you are my daughter and I cannot
lie, came out of my mouth too. 

306
00:16:47,880 --> 00:16:52,520
And then later my sister sent 
Foo and IA voicemail and she 

307
00:16:52,520 --> 00:16:57,600
said, hey, as soon as Boo said I
like Big Crowns, I said, and I 

308
00:16:57,600 --> 00:17:00,400
cannot lie at the same time as 
Lydia, so Boo said. 

309
00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:04,720
That's evidently a very notable 
song in our family house. 

310
00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:09,200
Definitely, definitely well, 
maybe not unique to your family,

311
00:17:09,200 --> 00:17:11,359
but it's but it's strong and. 
Strong. 

312
00:17:11,560 --> 00:17:15,720
It's a strong. 
But OK, so like one thing I 

313
00:17:15,720 --> 00:17:17,720
think it's very easy to talk 
about. 

314
00:17:17,880 --> 00:17:21,760
I hear so many people talk about
how a date at 4:30 is just no 

315
00:17:21,760 --> 00:17:24,880
good. 
Date of 4/30 no good, but I know

316
00:17:24,880 --> 00:17:28,280
people who like a date at 4:30 
because it doesn't interrupt the

317
00:17:28,280 --> 00:17:31,520
indices. 
I like a date at 4:30 because I 

318
00:17:31,520 --> 00:17:35,480
feel like then you don't have to
stay out late, you just get to 

319
00:17:35,480 --> 00:17:37,880
eat dinner early. 
Oh, no. 

320
00:17:38,440 --> 00:17:40,800
And then today we'll get a 
message from your mom, like as 

321
00:17:40,800 --> 00:17:44,600
soon as he said a date at 4:30. 
Yeah, but I'm one of those 

322
00:17:44,600 --> 00:17:50,080
people who like a 430 date 
window and and so like just 

323
00:17:50,080 --> 00:17:53,080
because one person doesn't like 
it doesn't mean everyone won't 

324
00:17:53,080 --> 00:17:55,120
like it. 
And I think that's one of the 

325
00:17:55,560 --> 00:17:58,720
difficulties with reviewing that
I don't even want to deal with. 

326
00:17:58,720 --> 00:18:03,040
Yeah, I, I just don't think that
that's that interesting to me is

327
00:18:03,040 --> 00:18:06,440
to talk about things that I 
don't like about a watch that I 

328
00:18:06,440 --> 00:18:08,480
know are probably more personal 
to me. 

329
00:18:08,480 --> 00:18:11,000
Yeah, but I do. 
OK, So then I want to say one 

330
00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:12,920
thing. 
I do think it's really fun to 

331
00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:14,680
sort of like debate these 
things. 

332
00:18:14,760 --> 00:18:19,640
But again, it's in the way of 
this, this or question at the 

333
00:18:19,680 --> 00:18:21,920
end. 
Yeah, me, you know, like or this

334
00:18:21,920 --> 00:18:24,040
is my opinion or saying like for
me. 

335
00:18:24,200 --> 00:18:26,560
Well, no, there's some things 
that also aren't opinions. 

336
00:18:26,560 --> 00:18:29,600
Yeah, that's true. 
Should a bracelet have an on the

337
00:18:29,600 --> 00:18:31,800
fly quick adjust? 
Yes it should. 

338
00:18:31,800 --> 00:18:34,480
That's not an opinion. 
That's not an opinion. 

339
00:18:34,480 --> 00:18:35,440
Watch. 
Is dead to. 

340
00:18:35,440 --> 00:18:36,640
Me. 
Yeah, yeah, yeah. 

341
00:18:36,720 --> 00:18:39,480
Never buy you I. 
Only have two big platforms. 

342
00:18:39,480 --> 00:18:40,800
You know. 
One is quick adjust on 

343
00:18:40,800 --> 00:18:43,240
bracelets, the other is more 
transparency and water 

344
00:18:43,240 --> 00:18:44,680
resistance. 
Afterthought. 

345
00:18:45,680 --> 00:18:48,400
Why won't these companies think 
of about these? 

346
00:18:49,280 --> 00:18:53,080
Things, oh boy, it was like get 
rid of all of these. 

347
00:18:53,280 --> 00:18:56,240
Stop calling these pitfalls. 
These are called correct 

348
00:18:56,240 --> 00:18:58,160
thinking. 
Exactly. 

349
00:18:58,560 --> 00:19:02,880
But I think the biggest danger 
with us having watches in no and

350
00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:05,560
they're already can. 
I can I say the what do you? 

351
00:19:05,640 --> 00:19:10,840
Think the biggest danger is? 
The biggest danger is Voo cannot

352
00:19:10,840 --> 00:19:13,880
try watches he likes without 
being like, I want to buy it. 

353
00:19:13,880 --> 00:19:16,160
I just, I'll, I'll just write to
them and I'll say I'll buy and 

354
00:19:16,160 --> 00:19:21,040
I'm like, Oh my God, Boo. 
I know it's a review sample. 

355
00:19:21,040 --> 00:19:23,360
I know it was already scratched 
up when it arrived. 

356
00:19:23,600 --> 00:19:28,160
Can I buy it? 
This guy, this guy, I thought, 

357
00:19:28,160 --> 00:19:29,800
you know, for me, I'm like. 
Seeing watches? 

358
00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:33,600
Seeing more watches makes me you
know, like I get to see them, 

359
00:19:33,600 --> 00:19:35,040
test them out and then I get to 
send them back. 

360
00:19:35,040 --> 00:19:38,680
Voo doesn't have the wants to 
send back mentality. 

361
00:19:38,680 --> 00:19:42,320
He's like, so now I keep them. 
All it is funny because your 

362
00:19:42,320 --> 00:19:48,040
whole thing that you said was 
this is amazing because now I 

363
00:19:48,040 --> 00:19:50,760
can try out more watches and no 
commitment. 

364
00:19:50,760 --> 00:19:52,840
Yeah. 
And I was like, oh, OK. 

365
00:19:52,840 --> 00:19:54,800
But for me I'm like but I want 
to. 

366
00:19:54,800 --> 00:19:55,960
Keep it. 
Yeah. 

367
00:19:56,080 --> 00:19:58,800
Yeah. 
I would love to know what or I 

368
00:19:58,800 --> 00:20:02,640
guess we would love to know what
watches would you like us to 

369
00:20:02,640 --> 00:20:04,440
see? 
What watches do you want to know

370
00:20:04,440 --> 00:20:05,800
more about? 
Yeah, yeah. 

371
00:20:05,800 --> 00:20:07,080
Get our impressions.
