The problem with watch reviews - and how to fix them.

#NSOW For your awareness some things about me and the channel. I'm an engineer who's into human behavior, loves the ideas behind art and sees watches as a mix of science, craft, art, business, history, technology, philosophy, and psychology. As a result, my videos cover all that ground. (Oh, and I overthink everything). In my opinion a $15 Casio or a $50 G-Shock are probably the only real tool watches and pretty much everything else is jewelry. So as we are talking about jewelry I think style is substance and I tend to believe history, brand, style, design, execution, and aesthetics are more important than specs. A dull design with a good movement is a dull watch, and an exciting design with an average movement is an exciting watch. To be clear, I hate the expression "it's just a watch". If you got this far, watches matter to you and represent a bridge between us - dismissing them as unimportant seems wrong and disrespectful. That doesn't mean we can't and don't have fun, it just means we should not be totally mindless of others. I'm a watch collector and curator - I like my collections to have a theme. My collection has several themes: 1. Vintage Alpina watches 2. Travel watches (GMT. UTC, world timers, home times, dual times) 3. Seiko Prospex dive watches 4. Breitling chronographs 5. Stuff I just really like. I don't do wrist checks so if you want to see what I'm wearing, my collection, and other random bits of my life check out my Instagram: @not.so.obvious.watches   / not.so.obvious.watches   You can email me at [email protected] virtually all the music you'll hear on my channel I get from BenSound - https://www.bensound.com/ also, my stock images and videos tend to come from either snappa (https://snappa.com/app) or pexels (https://www.pexels.com/)
