After a 2 year hiatus, the horological odd couple are back! And what better way for the #WatchTalk series to return than letting the hate flow through us and getting all our horological pet peeves out. From why half of the watch brands out there suck, to A.I. ruining so much of social media watch content with slop, Seiko going full circle now by making homages to Islander watches, endless shady watch dealers, why back Aliexpress is simply not worth the risk, pointless YouTube drama, how climbing "the watch tiers" is total BS, to why buying a luxury watch (especially a first Rolex) is not your first "real watch" and so much more.
