Overpriced Everything




The HourTime Show show

Summary: Hello and welcome to yet another exciting edition of The HourTime Show, the official podcast of WristWatchReview.com. Your hosts this week are John, Victor, and Nicholas. We forgot to do a wrist check but we make up for it by discussing our first "big boy" watches: John had some sort of mecha-quartz from Seiko, Victor had a Swatch Irony, and Nicholas had a Citizen Flieger. This leads into our main discussion this week, which is somewhat of a continuation of what we've talked about in recent weeks: What are good first watches for folks getting into the hobby? John thinks it's perfectly fine to get some no-name watch from AliExpress nowadays because the traditional brands have all but abandoned the entry-level market. We touch on this interview with the new Seiko CEO in the Financial Times discussing the brand's move upmarket.  Honestly, we've been doing this incarnation of The HourTime Show for nearly a year now and I (Nicholas, I write the show notes) think this is among our best extended discussions. And that, as they say, is that. Thanks once again to Andrew Haworth for producing this week's episode. Keep it locked to WristWatchReview.com and @wristwatchreview on Instagram for more fun watch content. Thank you for listening, and have a great week!
