    Ep 32 - Wrestling, Watches, Grails & Some Unpopular Opinions

    This week on Watch You Talkin' About, Alex and Jordan dive into the wild collision of pro wrestling and high-end horology. They break down the massive controversy surrounding WWE superstar Roman Reigns flexing a $500,000 skeletonized Audemars Piguet Tourbillon on live TV, and discuss the internet backlash over "watch snobbery". Plus, Jordan shares his full recap and highlight reel from his very first RedBar YYC meetup, showcasing incredible grail pieces like a 1970s Patek Philippe Calatrava, an Omega Flightmaster, and a Tudor Submariner. Later, the guys share details on how to join the official Watch You Talkin' About NFL Pick’em Pool—sponsored by Shipwreck Watch Company—where the winner takes home a brand-new "Lost at Sea" diver! To wrap it up, Alex and Jordan unleash a round of hot takes on awful OEM watch bracelets, why the hatred for "hype watches" is total nonsense, and why social media creators need to wrap up their 20-second wrist rolls.

    Ep 27 - Microbrands vs. Big Luxury: Who is Actually Innovating?

    Are microbrand watches actually innovating... or are they simply making the features we already love more affordable? This week we're diving into one of the biggest questions in modern watch collecting. We debate whether true innovation comes from brands like Rolex, MB&F and Christopher Ward, or whether microbrands are changing the industry by offering incredible value, better bracelets, micro-adjust clasps, unique dial designs and a closer connection to collectors. Along the way we also chat about: * Christopher Ward and the Bel Canto * MB&F and some of the wildest movements in watchmaking * Rolex innovation * Zelos, Erebus, Venezianico, Makoto and other standout microbrands * Why premium watch straps matter * The AliExpress straps we've been using * Smartwatch Dick's Nitpicks (including some self-inflicted corrections!) So... where do you stand? Do microbrands truly innovate, or do they simply perfect what the big brands create? Let us know in the comments!

    Ep 26 - From Solar Watches to Foot Pics... We Covered Everything

    This week, we're celebrating Canada Day the only way we know how—with watches, terrible jokes, and plenty of random detours. We kick things off with our Canada Day wrist checks, chat about solar-powered watches, and somehow end up talking about warranties after Alex accidentally breaks the bezel on his Momentum. Jordan's MoonSwatch warranty saga continues, while Smartwatch Dick shares his own smartwatch replacement story. Then it's time for another round of Smartwatch Dick's Nitpicks & Corrections, where we dive into: Why watch brands should measure thickness with the crystal. Are GMT watches taking over the industry? Do collectors eventually fall out of love with their watches?The history behind Timex and Snoopy. We also check out two incredible new releases from MB&F and Baltic, revisit our $2,500 Watch Collection Challenge, give a shout-out to some amazing listeners, and—as always—take a few unexpected detours into wrestling, sports, soccer, basketball, and somehow... pictures of Alex's feet. Because apparently that's where this show ended up.

    Hit play and wind it up! The three amigos ride again this week as Alex and Jordan are reunited with Smartwatch Dick for a massive round of nitpicks, corrections, and a video call-out from a legendary golf trip OG that you absolutely cannot miss. Then, the boys are joined by James, the mastermind behind Canuck Timepieces. James shares his incredible journey from tracking down streetwear and sneakers to obsessed watch collector, and finally, to designing bold, independent Canadian watches. From drilling holes in custom enamel dials in his garage to launching the mind-bending Fourth Dimension series and his upcoming custom cushion case, James drops a masterclass in what it means to build a brand fueled by genuine passion and collaboration. We dig into: Why the golf swing is absolutely violent on automatic watch movements. The history of the Rolex bubble back (and why it's a grail for James). Why off-the-shelf strap quality on AliExpress might surprise you. A sneak peek at the new Tonneau cushion case dropping at the Toronto Timepiece Show.
