Unfortunately the trend seems to be to make cash grab live streams nowadays on YouTube. I can't stand those livestream and hope this changes soon again.

Next thing are the scams that appear from time to time. Just think about recent scandals by Horology house, Timepiece Gentleman, Timeless Watch Channel, time teller....

Difficult to find really good channel with people that love the watches and not the money. Happy to see better examples like the ones above.

He's not bad. I enjoy his style quite a bit. However I lost quite a bit of respect for him when he flipped the Harrods Tudor and his BLNR after he stated multiple times that he wasn't a flipper in it for the money.

I find B&J intolerable to watch, a cookie-cutter posh boy from the South of England. Sounds and acts like an ex-public school droid.

I like Caseback Watches.

The list just keeps getting longer. That Time Teller guy doesn't come off well at all on that Reddit post I just looked at. I wonder who's next?

I don't watch anyone regularly, and subscribe to none.

I honestly don't like any of them. At all.

There's a certain ego that comes with being a "yootoober" and they all seem to be cut from the same cloth.

The only person I will watch for reviews of watches is Tim Mosso, but that's purely because he does the best reviews for watches that I can't try on.

The one I really like is the Scottish feller, Jodi, from Just One More Watch. He’s likeable and seems genuinely just really into watches without coming off as smarmy or narcissistic.

Agree 100% with the above.

Tim's a good source when it comes to finding out the lug-to-lug size = he always mentions this = I can turn off after watching one or two minutes

Cheers,
Joe

Just some nitwits looking for a quick buck. All of them echoing the same old song.

Been on YouTube a long time and there have been a few watch YouTubers that I simply cannot stand - TGV ( being the main one ), The Time Teller, JustBlueFish, The Mad Watch Collector, among many others.


Ones I actually like - Greg Anderson at “The Good Timekeeping Show”, Marc from Long Island Watch ( which is a shame he’s mingled in with that TGV character ), even Archie Luxury, only because he’s been around for so long and is an icon in the community ( if you hate him or not, everyone knows who he is haha ).

I’ve come to also like Just One More Watch as well. Jodi seems like a genuinely nice and kind guy that I wouldn’t mind sharing a beer with.

The amount of watch ‘reporting’ we have today is so much more than it’s been in the past. While it’s not for me, it seems like many people really get into it, which is great.

Most of the watch channels are simply watch peddlers. Nothing more nothing less. There are a few I like more than others. Federico is alright, Tim is good, the talking hands are solid, Adrian is passionate, and Eric has it together….. I actual liked TPG for its entertainment value and think they got railroaded… And the pontiff… well, truth is, he’s the most honest of the bunch and you just have to respect that….

Tim Mosso (Watch Box), and Fratello are the only ones I pay much attention to anymore. They stick to the facts and are knowledgeable.

I’ll watch The Timeless Watch Channel from time to time, when the guy sticks to talking about watches or things of historical significance, otherwise, he’s become a self obsessed promoter like the rest of them.
