We asked you all to send us watch models to rate, and you all delivered! The Wristies go through all the watches our Instagram audience wanted our honest opinions on. We received so many that we skipped the recurring segment this week- just brutal wristwatch mayhem!

This week, the Wristies pull the ole switcheroo and do a Wristy Wrist Swap. Iman has to choose a six-watch collection as if she had Chris's 7.6in/19.3cm wrist, and Chris has to choose a six-watch collection as if he had Iman's 5.5in/14cm wrist. What do you think of the collections we chose?
PLUS at a Watch Crimes segment where Iman goes banana pancakes on Gallet for omitting a commonly used city on a world timer; and Chris goes full cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs over the reductive mindset of the watch world's Voldemort.

Episode 30
Thursday, July 9, 2026 • Duration 01:12:10
The Wristies get back to basics. No guests. No fluff. Just catching up on some of our favorite new watches, a couple of not-so-favorites, and some initial thoughts on the former AP CEO’s new brand.
***CORRECTION*** In this episode, we mention a collaboration between Venezianico and IFLW. We mistakenly attribute the work to the Dial Artist (Chris Alexander), and we have been informed that he has not worked with IFLW for quite some time. We apologize for the mix-up, but stand by the opinions on the watch itself. If you want to check out some of the great work the Dial Artist has been doing, check out the new Christopher Ward Twelve Xander HERE!***

***ALSO, it's mentioned late in the episode, but please check out the Buying Time Foundation Watch Auction that ends July 14, 2026. Buying Time raises funds to support its partner charities that work with young people facing terminal illness.***

Episode 28
Thursday, June 11, 2026 • Duration 01:21:54
Chris's brother, Frank, is the person responsible for getting Chris properly into watches. Although Frank has stayed outside the global and online watch community, preferring to enjoy the hobby on his own. Iman and Chris ask him the important questions! How has that impacted his hobby? What watches are appealing? And what's it like not to be bombarded with watch posts on Instagram?!
**DISCLAIMER** Frank and Chris sound almost exactly alike and can even control each other's phones with their voices... so prepare to be confused.
