  • Probably the only watch media that hasn’t been bought

    In a sea of watch podcasts that self-censor for fear of pissing off the brands, this podcast is truly refreshing. Love the honesty in these discussions — nothing about them is performative so it is a nice window into what the real watch community is talking about amongst themselves. As a result, there are a lot of valuable insights to glean from these episodes no matter what level of watch collector you are.

  • Why isn’t this 110% more popular?

    Undoubtedly the best watch podcast out there. An interesting mix of knowledgeable enthusiasts who know more than the professionals and watchmakers who just drink themselves into an early grave while occasionally mentioning watches. This network really has something for everyone. Special mention to Robe & the Regulator and Independent Thinking with Roman.

  • Best watch podcast out there - UNDERRATED

    Fifth Wrist is incredibly entertaining and also very informative. It is an international variety show with lots of different hosts, each with their own theme. Most watch podcasts are super boring, constantly shining the knob of Rolex/Patek/AP/Swatch Group — instead Fifth Wrist shines a light on the rich world of independent watch producers, though the majors are still making appearances too of course. It’s refreshing to hear from actual watchmakers and deeply knowledgeable enthusiasts that actua... more

  • Intriguing listening for the uninitiated

    Much like vodka made from milk, this podcast is surprisingly surprising. 1 star for the interview itself, 1 star for Micheal passing out and 3 stars for the Scot with the sexy voice who was itching to disagree JCB. I understood approximately 25% of what they spoke about, but was nevertheless entertained.
