Which watch magazines and/or news sites do you read?

Which watch magazines (print and online) and news sites do you read?

For me, Hodinkee (web) and Revolution (print) are my main sources for all things watches - except of course the forums.

Would be interested to hear where you get your daily watch fix!

Check out the app Watchville. It grabs all the major web sites and puts it in one spot. Plus it has a great search function. I subscribe to Watch Time in print also.

Mostly TRF for me, but I do enjoy the watch 'annuals', been getting them every year for quite some time. Also enjoy the manufacturer websites, especially around SIHH and Basel time.

I have the Hodinkee app, and read Watch Time and Revolution magazines from time to time as well when I'm looking for a good unbiased (or close to) review.

Watchville and HODINKEE apps for iPhone. Websites include TRF, TZ-UK, omega forum, watchuseek and a whole host of others. I also use Instagram to follow the brands and a few very good watch accounts.

Edit; and YouTube. Lots and lots of YouTube.

here, Watchville, a couple other forums, occasionally manufactures websites. I used to read Hodinkee but can no longer stomach it most of the time. Its a shell of its former self in my opinion.

Malaysia has her very own world class watch journalist and his name is Dato Meor Amri Meor Ayob who reviews watches quite extensively on his blogsite. Where on Earth does he find the time? He is also the CEO for Bond Pricing Agency Malaysia Sdn Bhd and a former central banker with Bank Negara Malaysia
Mr Meor owns a large collection of Swiss German and Japanese watches, rare watches including limited editions, even vintage Disney Mickey Mouse watches and a self confessed Seikoholic. Oh Yeah, he is also a Moderator for the Malaysian Watch Forum. Some of you may have read his watch review articles on his blogsites.

For example take the Baselworld 2017 Seiko Prospex Diver SLA 017 J1 62MAS Reissue LE watch review by Mr Meor. I don't know of anyone else in the world who can write more passionately and emotionally about the SLA017 than he can

✓My Eastern Watch Collection Review
http://easternwatch.blogspot.my/search/label/Review?m=1
His Seiko and Grand Seiko watch articles are very impressive with great attention to details. Why? It's because he actually owns those watches!

✓My Western Watch Collection Review
Just tap the Home Button once you're in his website and start scrolling down to search for a specific watch brand hopefully. Just a few selections only

Unbelievable nobody mentioned watchprosite
I like this forum and I’m here since 2005
But for serious watch conventions watchprosite is better

Nice reviews indeed of the Grand Seiko

Anyone know how to get a coupon from “watch time”? Wanna get a subscription, but see I can use a coupon I feel like a cheap skate for even asking, but probably won’t use it all that often. Just like to support the industry

Miami Herald for casual 2AM encounter lost Rolex tales (with my morning coffee, bran muffin and Marlboros)

Hondadinkee for glance reads on industry trends and that hottie John Mayer (usually on the toilet - see above)

Watchprosite for quick, good info (riding my bike to the bar or while shaving)

TRF, TZ & WT for banter and 'legit check' (cough, hack, look away) postings most days (at the bar arguing with Keith the Drunk about Invicta)

Auction houses and eBay for current pricing trends, technical and historical info (sober Sunday)

Food Network (online & tv) for latest rolex AP specific info

but, it can change from time to time.
