Elizabeth!! THANK YOU FOR THE KIND WORDS!! Sorry I didn’t see this sooner! You’re the best! Also, little insider info, Anna and TH are still buddies! She got an amazing opportunity to travel the world with various music groups and jumped on it! She’s living the dream but stops by NYC every once and a while to say hi All the best!!
ELIZABETH GRANT KNOWS WHO I AMMMMM?!?! 💀💀💀 oh BABES! This has made my day! And you know, it’s really nice to hear this. 💕 I’ve been working really hard to up my production and make each video a little better than the last. This is such high compliments coming from you - the editing goddess extraordinaire! 💕 As you know, I’m a big fan of YOU! I’ve got BELL ON and everything. 😜 thanks sooo much for this shoutout EG!
He's excellent. I've learned what makes a mechanical watch truly special by watching his repairs and listening to the fascinating explanation of what he's doing.
Count me in as the third ! He was the one that got me interested in watching watch repair videos way back in September of 2020! His easy manner and descriptive watch repair made it easy to watch his videos! OTOH, Jory the time teller lost my viewership when he whined about Rolex haters......to make a second video about it was just over the top!
Thanks so much for the mention Elizabeth and for the kind words! Really appreciate it. 100% agree that Andrew needs to start doing audio books and the You're Terrific should be much bigger!
Probably the weirdest comparison ever but something about the comedy/ sarcasm of the You’re Terrific channel is right in line with old TopGear. I love it.
Very kind for the mention !! The objective of making content I want to watch hasn’t changed since lockdown 2020! With every episode I try to improve one thing doesn’t matter what !!;) be yourself Elizabeth and you will continue to shine;)
Let’s not forget Elizabeth Grant, she also has a great watch related channel! 😊😊 Good picks… YoureTerrific is so funny! TGV is soothing, and Oisin has great photography. I also like Jenni Elle and The Time Teller. He has literally made me laugh out loud. 😅
HAHA. I agree with all your selections Elizabeth. I watch most of the same ones too, but will try out You're Terrific as have not come across that one. I feel the same about Theo & Harris but I have unsubscribed since Anna stopped being involved. One channel I follow closely is TimeToGo Travel and Timepieces. Bob is local to me in Toronto and he's come to be a friend of mine as I commented so much on his videos and he started last year working at a watch store that is walking distance from me. Love your channel and perspective Elizabeth. Keep up the great work
As a photographer, I highly recommended Peter Costa’s channel. He’s a photographer by trade and makes watch videos. The cinematography of his video is on par if not better than urban gentry’s. He reviews from affordable to moderately luxury watches. Just One More Watch is also excellent mostly because of the host’s quirky and likeable personality. He also gained a doctorate while making weekly watch videos. He reviews mostly affordable watches with the occasional true luxury models mixed in. Top bloke.
Peter always gives me the sense he's holding back. Everything is always great, which never feels like the real world to me. Does he not want to offend in general? Is he trying to keep watch suppliers sweet? Who knows. So I would agree that they're useful videos to get a look at the watches, without doubt. The opinions on the videos? Not so sure.
@@elizabeth_grant please do. I forgot to mention he’s been hired by multiple microbrands to do official videos and photos for their websites. Top notch visual content from this bloke.
@@HaveYouSeen it’s just how he reviews things. He does the same with big brands that will never sponsor anyone, not just microbrands who actually sponsors him. I like the overall positive vibe of his videos. After all youtube is mainly for entertainment. I don’t need others pre-digesting information and feed it to me as their opinions. I look at photos, videos and dimensions of the watch and make up my own mind.
@@Ballacha if that's what works for you - awesome. Meanwhile, I like people to have opinions. Even if I disagree with them, I like to see some passion. That's what's entertaining *to me*. With Peter it's always, "Oh this is so nice... this is great... this is beautiful... this is the best watch ever..." and I just don't sense it's always the full story.
As of lately I find myself watching a lot of Brave Beaters because he covers mostly affordable stuff as well as some watch brands and models which aren't commonly talked about it the TH-cam Watch Sphere. Also his visuals, video editing and overall quality are fantastic.
Great vid! Thank you! I recently found You’re Terrific a couple weeks ago and while his vids are usually higher end than my shopping cart he is freaking hilarious in a dry dead pan way that so suits my sense of humor. You have to pay attention to him or you’ll miss something. Love your channel and is one I try to ‘watch’ as soon as it releases. Thanks!
I love all of your choices! Also, I find your videos quite relaxing. You have a calm precise voice, your videos are always interesting and you often cover Omega which I think it’s a bit under represented at times
My Favourite's are Just One More Watch (by Dr Jodi the ex pat scottish man, now living in Australia) Roman Sharif, The Urban Gentry , The Watch Box (T Mosso) ,Paul Thorpe (ex Rolex AD,Dave (the Japanese christian dude for microbrands) Elizabeth Grant, Brit Pearce and of course for laughs ;Producer Michael and right up there Teddy Baldasarre. Cheers
Great hairdo !!!!!!! Love your videos ,attitude ,and production value is immense. Andrew...that voice, humor, knowledge ...and those hands...my fav ! Tim's knowledge is amazing...he has his place at the top also imo. Gentry is O.G., love Britt and Jenni. You work very hard at your videos and it shows...you are my fav lady for TH-cam , Andrew fav for gentlemen. Will you check out Marc on Watches TV ? Love him.
My favorite TH-cam reviewers are The Nostalgia Critic, The Cinema Snob, ERod the Blockbuster Buster, Caddicarus, Geekvolution, The Unusual Suspect, Diamondbolt, J's Reviews, Red Raptor Writes, Steve Reviews, Oliver Harper and Media Hunter Reviews, those guys are fun.
Probably all names you already know but just in case: Stridewise, Brave Beaters, Escapement & Watch, Peter Kotsa, WristSwap. And of course there's Teddy, Joddy, Max, but those need no introduction. Aaaaaand now you have no time to make videos anymore! 😁 Have you considered HiFi gear as your next expensive hobby? I found it's a great match with watches, bourbon and leather goods. So many rabbit holes...
I recently unsubscribed from Teddy Baldessarre for two reasons. One, TGV hammering on about watch dealers who review watches they sell. Two, Teddy’s continued collaboration with Kevin O’Leary, currently caught up in the FTX scandal. I follow everyone you mentioned except You’re Wonderful; I will check it out. I also follow Just One More Watch, Paul Thorpe and Jenni Elle. Oisin can be polarizing. He recently went after Britt Pierce, and had a very public spat with Nico Leonard over a watch he allegedly didn’t return after reviewing it. You’re certainly right about his video production - he takes full advantage of Venice as a location. I just subscribed to your channel.
Ive been also wondering where Anna went. It doesn’t appear she works for the company anymore? Curious to know what happened, if only someone would make a video about it 🤔. Maybe you could get her for an interview? I’m shocked you didn’t mention Teddy B. His channel seems like the kind of stuff that you like. Also, how can you be a watch TH-camr and not know who TPG is. Not a huge fan of his channel but the undercover Rolex dealership video was really good.
Glad I saw this one as you mentioned several I've either never heard of or have passed by without pausing to check them out. So thanks for that! Interesting that you mentioned EDC towards the end. I have begun to get into EDC fairly recently and am always hoping to learn more about popular products. As far as my favorite, other than your channel, I can always count on TGV, especially his collaborations with Marc from Long Island Watch Co. They are very at ease with one-another and it is always a good time. Thanks for doing what you do!
About the same for me. The Mad Watch Collector is probably my favorite, that silly sense of humor brings the stuffed shirt out of the watch game. Hands in both his roles is funny and sometimes silly while still being informative. Gringa is gold. TGV brings class and history. And I'll sample a bit of others here and there. I will say, Tim brings us the most beautiful, unique pieces with attention to detail without bias, judgement, or opinion. He tells you why each one is worthy of someone's collection, even if it is not me. While the goal is obviously to sell the watch and make money, I truly appreciate the approach and opportunity to learn about each piece
I agree with your watch channel choices - I subscribe to them all. Plus Teddy of course. If you like watch restoration videos may I recommend Richard Perrett Watchmaker, Red Dead Restoration and Wristwatch Revival - such talented individuals.
I like a lot of your choices, but I would have picked Teddy and Jenni as well. I really like your approach. Your intelligence and being comfortable with yourself is quite apparent.
Great choices. I watch most of them, but my first regular channel was Urban Gentry. I've never heard of You're Terrific, but I'll search for it. I never miss Jenni Elle, who was the first woman I saw hosting a watch channel. I also love Wristwatch Revival. Marshall repairs and services vintage watches and he has a great voice as he talks through the process. Seriously, he's the Bob Ross of the watch world. Thanks for another great video.
Apart from your channel I think I watch a lot of Teddy Baldassarre, Urban Gentry and Chisholm Hunter. I think they are my most watched "Watch" TH-cam channels
we watch the same watch videos :) having special interests can be very time consuming when i think about my 4-5 other topics i can watch on youtube all day ;)
Thank you for your tips from other influencers. What I like about Brit is her off-clock thinking. She also sometimes thinks about how crazy this watch hype is. Because like many other things, our watch hysteria has its upsides and downsides. So I find it quite remarkable that she also addresses such thoughts.
As far as watches go, you clearly move in different circles than me. I have no rolexes or grand seikos or omegas in my collection. So in addition to Urban Gentry (who was my first watch channel) I highly recommend Just One More Watch and Relative Time, who both focus on watches that would be considered more affordable. For boots. in addition to Rose Anvil (who's the absolute top) Trenton and Heath, and Carl Murawski, you should consider Stridewise (who also dabbles in watches.) Eventually you should consider trying a good pair of Whites or Nicks, with the MP being my favorite. And if you wanted to complete your Hipster Trifecta, fountain pens are my main interest and there are many channels to consider: at the top are Figboot on Pens, sbebrown, doodlebud, and The Pen Habit before he went defunct. I just discovered you yesterday, but I admire your dedication to production values and your unique point of view. Please keep it up.
TGV’s channel was the first YT channel I watched and was a key factor in rekindling my interest in watches. Oisin’s channel is good, but, nowhere near as good as it used to be. Back when he did his travel watch videos his channel was far and away my favorite. Watchfinder, wrist watch revival, red dead restoration, Adrian barker are all others I really like. Tim Mossi is just an encyclopedia.
There are very few people who have convinced me to buy a watch. Andrew Morgan made me buy my Ball engineer ii diver. Not him, but the macro shots. Watchfinder macro shots are unparalleled.
like you, I learned a lot with TGV. I think the podcast format is growing. I listen to Oisin on Friday night and also "About Effing Time" with Adrian. they are the Top Gear of watches. I didnt know "Youreterrific" so I will check it now. good work
I watch a quite a few channels, too many to count but my favourites are yours, Britt’s Chanel, the mad watch collector, TVG, Just One More Watch etc. I dont’ have least favourite channels but I pretty unsubscribe to those that belittle women enthusiasts or like to pretend they do not exist. Great video as always Elizabeth.
Great to hear your choices, thanks Elizabeth. Yep you, Gringa, Jenni Elle, Bruce, Watchfinder & Andrew, Hafiz. There's an affordable watch channel Alias Eve Watches that I absolutely adore. Jason Debly for scotch etc reviews. Fell away from T&H after Anna left, want her back. Also TGV, Youre Terrific, Paul Pluta but catch an episode once in a while (he's said some questionable things I can't ignore). Watch Teddy once in a while. Millenary Watches has soothing music and great macros. Trent and Heath are a new sub. 🙂
How refreshing to see a competent watch channel author (Elle) give props to other YT watch channel content providers. She totally leaves the ego behind and goes for the "these folks helped me get here" vibe. Bravo (not being sarcastic).
Loyal to many especially TGV and of course yourself 😅, although the TMC is definitely smashing it right now with some really fun content and a hole different approach. But to be fare I try to keep on board with all the list you mentioned, where possible in a daily life 😊
Good picks. We have some snaps and aspects like you being heavily influenced by TGV - who I've watched since his early days - have been apparent since I found your channel. It's like when you see a band, influenced by another band you like. Good stuff. Also, kudos for making a list like this. In another guise elsewhere on the Internet, I make a podcast (not about watches!), and whenever I talk about other podcasts, the amount of people with hurt feelings that they weren't mentioned is always staggering. People seem to assume if you're a creator in a certain space, that you consume "all" the content in that space. Like you say in the video, there's not enough time for it. I also find it quite boring to watch scads of content on a topic I already cover.
I find myself learning something from every one I've watched and watched alot . A few could pay a bit more attention to their fingernail clipping technique .
There’s a few other ones: Chronoglide on direct every Tuesday, Kalle (the master watchmaker) introduces: guest watch collectors, specialist in certain fields but most of the time repairs watches. This will educate you on qualities in watches, ranging from marine chronometer, Recent Omega, Patek Philippe, etc. Well worth your time! There’s also The naked watchmaker, no not a porno title!😮But rather a watchmaker repairing and maintaining classic watches. The biggest problem with lots of these channels (that you mentioned)is they tend to be biased 😵💫, beware take them with a grain of salt. With watchmakers: the proof is in the pudding ! Quality and/or mediocrity 😉! You’re on the right track 👌❤️👍
Forgot to mention another great channel: Talking Timepieces on every Sunday around 3:00 pm live or you can check it out on TH-cam. This gives another perspective to fine watches 👌❤️👍
I like relative time and just the watch their format are more or less similar to yours, just stating the facts no un necessary distractions. Lately am into the inner workings of a watch with channels like diy watch club and magic of wheels.
We seem to be watching the same channels. One I like is Hafiz J. Mehmood. He hasn’t made that many videos lately but his macro shots are awesome. Glad to see I’m not the only one who watches shoes getting overhauled to relax. I love the craftsmanship of T&H and Bedo’s leatherworks.
Hmm i watch way to many people on youtube ha ha ha here are some of the people I watch in the watch community 1.TGV. 2Marc from LongIsland watch. 3.Just one more watch. 4. The time teller. 5 Watch gringa Brit Price just to name off a few out side of watch community well to may people to name off I would be typing for a half a hour in the comment section and no one has time for that. Love the video a real light hearted video.
My favorite channel - meaning that I will, without fail, click on their videos and watch them from start to finish - is Adrian Barker. Recently, however, I’m on a bit of a Mad Watch Collector kick as I often watch and appreciate the time and effort that must go into each episode. Peter Costa and You’re Terrific have really beautiful visuals and equally impressive content. Lastly, let’s not forget the king of affordables - Jody at Just One More Watch. I absolutely love his approach to the industry and his overall demeanor. Least favorite is an *easy* one. The Time Teller. I think the attempt made on his channel is to take the hard positions and unpopular opinions on watches, but it all just comes off too negative and whiny for my liking. I regularly ask TH-cam to stop showing me his videos 😂
Great list! Would check out WristSwap as well. Excellent developing channel with honest reviews and well thought out explanations regarding his own watch journey.
You should really check out Jody @ Just One More Watch, he covers everything but with a bias to affordable watches with excellent production and a hugely engaging personality that really kept me sane in lockdown.
I enjoy your channel as well and give you a lot of credit as to how you handled the watchmaker review situation. Only other you tubers I would recommend are the Time Teller, Teddy Baldasarre, Just One More Watch, and one not mentioned a lot….IDGuy….he has a great voice and his watch content is great.
Thanks for sharing this list! I've seen videos from Urban Gentry and Federico. The others are new to me. I also like Terry Baldassarre, Jenni Elle, the guy from Just One More Watch, and of course the great Elizabeth Grant. 😉
For good learning about horological I will recommend very few watch channels. 1. Archy 2.Federico 3 Theo and harris 4. Teddy 5. The urban gentry 6. Roman 7. Watchfinder
One of my favorites is Teddy Baldasare. The information he passes on is top-notch and he is never involved in the nonsense/back biting that seems to occur in the online watch community quite routinely.
I agree with you like 98%. Huge Bruce Williams fan and Oisin. Patreons of both. Oisin Grand Seiko vid was so kick ass I have watched it several times. You are definitely in my top 5. Watch a lot of Teddy too. I can't stand that Nic guy.
Stay pure Elizabeth - don't look up some of the toxic stuff Oisin has come out with recently (on live stream and in his instagram stories) - almost all aimed at Britt, all because he disliked her video on the dip in watch prices. it is really sad he has taken this tack, especially as he is one of the only Irish people in the space - I feel he tars the rest of us. I think we all started with TGV, interesting you stuck with him. I haven't watched a video of his in years. I can only take T&H in small doses but otherwise you are spot on.
All excellent recommendations, without exception. I'd add to the list WatchCrunch and The Time Teller. Oh, and you! [p.s. I can't stand that bloviated buffoon Nico Leonard]
Great choices. They’re all fantastic. Another channel I’m a big a fan of is IDGuy. I love his focus on history and design. Maybe he’s gotten a little too Rolex/Tudor obsessed lately, but his content and insight are top-notch. The channels I hate are the ones about making deals, flipping watches, and/or have a prevailing obsession with watches as investments and status symbols. One of these TH-camrs said of the Rolex Explorer: “When I see someone over 30 wearing that piece, I think ‘God…I hope that’s not his grail piece.’” When I hear people talking like that, I throw up in my mouth a little bit. Here’s to the great channels, such as yours, that make substantial content that help enthusiasts enjoy the hobby even more.
Elizabeth!! THANK YOU FOR THE KIND WORDS!! Sorry I didn’t see this sooner! You’re the best!
Also, little insider info, Anna and TH are still buddies! She got an amazing opportunity to travel the world with various music groups and jumped on it! She’s living the dream but stops by NYC every once and a while to say hi
All the best!!
ELIZABETH GRANT KNOWS WHO I AMMMMM?!?! 💀💀💀 oh BABES! This has made my day! And you know, it’s really nice to hear this. 💕 I’ve been working really hard to up my production and make each video a little better than the last. This is such high compliments coming from you - the editing goddess extraordinaire! 💕
As you know, I’m a big fan of YOU! I’ve got BELL ON and everything. 😜 thanks sooo much for this shoutout EG!
You're quite welcome, it's well deserved.
Britt is a real one.
Britt is so ridiculous and genuine. Lol. I love that the ladies in the watch world aren't catty and show lots of love and respect.
'Wristwatch Revival' is an awesome TH-cam channel. Watching him repair and renovate old watches is akin to watching Bob Ross! 😂
I think you're the second person to make that comparison.
He's excellent. I've learned what makes a mechanical watch truly special by watching his repairs and listening to the fascinating explanation of what he's doing.
I have to agree...I love watching him restore watches as if he's making a work of art.
It’s a very zen experience watching his videos 😊
Count me in as the third ! He was the one that got me interested in watching watch repair videos way back in September of 2020! His easy manner and descriptive watch repair made it easy to watch his videos! OTOH, Jory the time teller lost my viewership when he whined about Rolex haters......to make a second video about it was just over the top!
Thanks so much for the mention Elizabeth and for the kind words! Really appreciate it.
100% agree that Andrew needs to start doing audio books and the You're Terrific should be much bigger!
Agreed, I would also put "Ben's Watch Club" and "Just One More Watch" on the list, especially for the more budget watches.
HEEELLLLLOOOO And Welllcommeee!!
If you're in the market for a nasty cheap watch, one more watch is your guy.
Probably the weirdest comparison ever but something about the comedy/ sarcasm of the You’re Terrific channel is right in line with old TopGear. I love it.
Very kind for the mention !! The objective of making content I want to watch hasn’t changed since lockdown 2020! With every episode I try to improve one thing doesn’t matter what !!;) be yourself Elizabeth and you will continue to shine;)
MWC > TGV
Let’s not forget Elizabeth Grant, she also has a great watch related channel! 😊😊 Good picks… YoureTerrific is so funny! TGV is soothing, and Oisin has great photography. I also like Jenni Elle and The Time Teller. He has literally made me laugh out loud. 😅
Hi-dilly-ho, neighborinos!
Dude she's not going to say she watches her own channel. Stop being weird.
@@thegorn it's called humor. Don't look now, but I think you're dragging your knuckles! 🤣
About Effing Time. It's like a streaming show that I can't wait to drop every week...
I never miss "The Time Teller" Also check out Red Dead Restoration if you like restoration ASMR videos.
I'll check it out.
Jory has a great sense of humor.
HAHA. I agree with all your selections Elizabeth. I watch most of the same ones too, but will try out You're Terrific as have not come across that one. I feel the same about Theo & Harris but I have unsubscribed since Anna stopped being involved. One channel I follow closely is TimeToGo Travel and Timepieces. Bob is local to me in Toronto and he's come to be a friend of mine as I commented so much on his videos and he started last year working at a watch store that is walking distance from me.

I stumbled upon him a couple of weeks ago, and he's brilliant. His video on the Cartier Santos convinced me to go for the medium size.
Brave Beaters is another top notch channel! Great choice!

Watchfinder, Britt, ID Guy, Teddy Baldssarre, Oisin, Adrian and You
I always love finding people with the same interests as me.
It’s also great seeing so many Channels from the uk on this list 😍.
My Favourite's are Just One More Watch (by Dr Jodi the ex pat scottish man, now living in Australia) Roman Sharif, The Urban Gentry , The Watch Box (T Mosso) ,Paul Thorpe (ex Rolex AD,Dave (the Japanese christian dude for microbrands) Elizabeth Grant, Brit Pearce and of course for laughs ;Producer Michael and right up there Teddy Baldasarre.

You mentioned TVG so would guess you have seen Mark at Long Island Watch. His Watch and learn series has taught me so much.
Probably all names you already know but just in case: Stridewise, Brave Beaters, Escapement & Watch, Peter Kotsa, WristSwap. And of course there's Teddy, Joddy, Max, but those need no introduction. Aaaaaand now you have no time to make videos anymore! 😁

Good list! Definitely a theme of high production quality in there which you clearly carry over into your own videos.
Glad you think so!
I hope your channel continues to grow. I'm happy that you review other products like boots, liquor and cigarette/cigar lighters.
Glad I saw this one as you mentioned several I've either never heard of or have passed by without pausing to check them out. So thanks for that! Interesting that you mentioned EDC towards the end.

I like a lot of your choices, but I would have picked Teddy and Jenni as well. I really like your approach. Your intelligence and being comfortable with yourself is quite apparent.
Massive omission not to mention the legendary Teddy B. Jenni's grandma voice makes her channel hard to watch.
Enjoyed your list. Similar to my list but I would swap a few on your list for Jody from Just One More Watch and Escapement & Watch.
The channels you mentioned are also my most watched TH-cam channels. Yours included! Looking forward to upcoming videos!
I appreciate that!
An underrsted and newish channel I watch is the Watch Idiot. Great list of channels. I watch most of these channels regularly.
Great choices. I watch most of them, but my first regular channel was Urban Gentry. I've never heard of You're Terrific, but I'll search for it. I never miss Jenni Elle, who was the first woman I saw hosting a watch channel. I also love Wristwatch Revival. Marshall repairs and services vintage watches and he has a great voice as he talks through the process. Seriously, he's the Bob Ross of the watch world. Thanks for another great video.
I should check out wristwatch revival.
Apart from your channel I think I watch a lot of Teddy Baldassarre, Urban Gentry and Chisholm Hunter. I think they are my most watched "Watch" TH-cam channels
I can add that the panels on the Casual Watch Review are a fun and great bunch. Of course I’m biased!
GRYFFINDOR!!!
Love the channel Elizabeth. Fantastic content and it's good to see another female in the hobby.
we watch the same watch videos :) having special interests can be very time consuming when i think about my 4-5 other topics i can watch on youtube all day ;)
Ooh, i'll have to check out the Iron Snail channel thanks. I also like Nekkid Watchmaker who does some interesting restorations. 🙂
Thank you for your tips from other influencers. What I like about Brit is her off-clock thinking. She also sometimes thinks about how crazy this watch hype is. Because like many other things, our watch hysteria has its upsides and downsides. So I find it quite remarkable that she also addresses such thoughts.

So in addition to Urban Gentry (who was my first watch channel) I highly recommend Just One More Watch and Relative Time, who both focus on watches that would be considered more affordable.
For boots. in addition to Rose Anvil (who's the absolute top) Trenton and Heath, and Carl Murawski, you should consider Stridewise (who also dabbles in watches.) Eventually you should consider trying a good pair of Whites or Nicks, with the MP being my favorite.
And if you wanted to complete your Hipster Trifecta, fountain pens are my main interest and there are many channels to consider: at the top are Figboot on Pens, sbebrown, doodlebud, and The Pen Habit before he went defunct.
I just discovered you yesterday, but I admire your dedication to production values and your unique point of view. Please keep it up.
I miss Anna, too :/
Interesting to see who you watch. Clicky Bezel is quite new (less than a year old channel) that I have enjoyed watching recently
Gotta’ love The Gringa!
Missed Anna too from Theo & Harris ... I really enjoyed her talking about watches... and her polerouter
TGV’s channel was the first YT channel I watched and was a key factor in rekindling my interest in watches. Oisin’s channel is good, but, nowhere near as good as it used to be. Back when he did his travel watch videos his channel was far and away my favorite. Watchfinder, wrist watch revival, red dead restoration, Adrian barker are all others I really like. Tim Mossi is just an encyclopedia.
I enjoy Jody at Just One More Watch. Very professional presentation.
There are very few people who have convinced me to buy a watch. Andrew Morgan made me buy my Ball engineer ii diver. Not him, but the macro shots. Watchfinder macro shots are unparalleled.
Surely, all watch TH-camrs do a massive collab or at least a get together? Wouldn’t that be fun!
like you, I learned a lot with TGV. I think the podcast format is growing. I listen to Oisin on Friday night and also "About Effing Time" with Adrian. they are the Top Gear of watches. I didnt know "Youreterrific" so I will check it now. good work
About Effing Time is great to just sit back with a cup of coffee (or glass of whiskey depending on the time of day) and enjoy the banter.
I watch a quite a few channels, too many to count but my favourites are yours, Britt’s Chanel, the mad watch collector, TVG, Just One More Watch etc. I dont’ have least favourite channels but I pretty unsubscribe to those that belittle women enthusiasts or like to pretend they do not exist. Great video as always Elizabeth.
Thanks!
Great to hear your choices, thanks Elizabeth. Yep you, Gringa, Jenni Elle, Bruce, Watchfinder & Andrew, Hafiz. There's an affordable watch channel Alias Eve Watches that I absolutely adore. Jason Debly for scotch etc reviews. Fell away from T&H after Anna left, want her back. Also TGV, Youre Terrific, Paul Pluta but catch an episode once in a while (he's said some questionable things I can't ignore). Watch Teddy once in a while. Millenary Watches has soothing music and great macros. Trent and Heath are a new sub. 🙂
there is just something about this biscuit...
You've pretty much named them all, apart from the wonderful ID Guy ❤️
P.s. you're becoming pretty much one of my top 3
ID guy is the name that keeps coming up today.
I agree with your choices but also have to add Just One More Watch.
I thought I wasn’t the only watch guy (well watch lady) that watched Trenton and Heath. Subscribed to you here!
How refreshing to see a competent watch channel author (Elle) give props to other YT watch channel content providers. She totally leaves the ego behind and goes for the "these folks helped me get here" vibe. Bravo (not being sarcastic).
Thank you!
I'm not sure how you don't have more subscribers. Your videos are so well put together, I appreciate how much you put into these videos.
Thank you! 😊
@@elizabeth_grant no, thank you.
in the watch world I really enjoy Peter Kotsa's channel. Good vid keep it up :)
Thanks, will do!
You forgot to mention the Pontiff, the TH-cam watch space OG.
These guys are great but Watches with Abduhla is an underrated gem. An up and coming channel and i just love his new perspective
Don't think ive heard of this, will have to check it out, thanks👍
Just one more watch, the mad watch collector and this channel are just about it. If I'm thinking of getting a watch I'll see if Mosso reviewed it.
Smart approach to watch purchasing.
Loyal to many especially TGV and of course yourself 😅, although the TMC is definitely smashing it right now with some really fun content and a hole different approach. But to be fare I try to keep on board with all the list you mentioned, where possible in a daily life 😊
wanted to thank you for your earlier review of your Thursday Boots, it help me to make my final decision on purchasing a pair from them
Well you're welcome! Hope you enjoy them!
I bought my first Grand Seiko because of Your Terrific’s SBGM221 vid
Good picks. We have some snaps and aspects like you being heavily influenced by TGV - who I've watched since his early days - have been apparent since I found your channel. It's like when you see a band, influenced by another band you like. Good stuff. Also, kudos for making a list like this. In another guise elsewhere on the Internet, I make a podcast (not about watches!), and whenever I talk about other podcasts, the amount of people with hurt feelings that they weren't mentioned is always staggering. People seem to assume if you're a creator in a certain space, that you consume "all" the content in that space. Like you say in the video, there's not enough time for it. I also find it quite boring to watch scads of content on a topic I already cover.
I find myself learning something from every one I've watched and watched alot . A few could pay a bit more attention to their fingernail clipping technique .
There’s a few other ones: Chronoglide on direct every Tuesday, Kalle (the master watchmaker) introduces: guest watch collectors, specialist in certain fields but most of the time repairs watches. This will educate you on qualities in watches, ranging from marine chronometer, Recent Omega, Patek Philippe, etc. Well worth your time!
There’s also The naked watchmaker, no not a porno title!😮But rather a watchmaker repairing and maintaining classic watches.
The biggest problem with lots of these channels (that you mentioned)is they tend to be biased 😵💫, beware take them with a grain of salt. With watchmakers: the proof is in the pudding ! Quality and/or mediocrity 😉!
You’re on the right track 👌❤️👍
So many channels so little time!
Forgot to mention another great channel: Talking Timepieces on every Sunday around 3:00 pm live or you can check it out on TH-cam. This gives another perspective to fine watches 👌❤️👍
Awesome List , follow 80%of that list and now I follow your channel
Awesome! Thank you!
I like relative time and just the watch their format are more or less similar to yours, just stating the facts no un necessary distractions. Lately am into the inner workings of a watch with channels like diy watch club and magic of wheels.
Urban Gentry and Rose Anvil are probably my most watched channels. But you're right, there's only so many hours in a day.
Indeed!
I think your channel is one of the best.
Wow, thanks!
We seem to be watching the same channels. One I like is Hafiz J. Mehmood. He hasn’t made that many videos lately but his macro shots are awesome. Glad to see I’m not the only one who watches shoes getting overhauled to relax. I love the craftsmanship of T&H and Bedo’s leatherworks.
Austin Daniels at Watch Symposium is great if you like to nerd out over Rolex...which I do!
you do a very nice job EG . - I like AUSTIN DANIELS for rolex stuff among a host of others . ~ JDS/CT
Hmm i watch way to many people on youtube ha ha ha here are some of the people I watch in the watch community 1.TGV. 2Marc from LongIsland watch. 3.Just one more watch. 4. The time teller. 5 Watch gringa Brit Price just to name off a few out side of watch community well to may people to name off I would be typing for a half a hour in the comment section and no one has time for that. Love the video a real light hearted video.
loved this video, got to learn a couple new channels i get to check out now, and i got to see bunch of channels i already watch=)
So glad!
you are one of my favorites (in first 10) i prefer channels with cheaper wathes-just one more watch,random bob,relative time...
Wow, thanks!
Add 'Richard Perrett Watchmaker'
My favorite channel - meaning that I will, without fail, click on their videos and watch them from start to finish - is Adrian Barker. Recently, however, I’m on a bit of a Mad Watch Collector kick as I often watch and appreciate the time and effort that must go into each episode. Peter Costa and You’re Terrific have really beautiful visuals and equally impressive content. Lastly, let’s not forget the king of affordables - Jody at Just One More Watch. I absolutely love his approach to the industry and his overall demeanor.
Least favorite is an *easy* one. The Time Teller. I think the attempt made on his channel is to take the hard positions and unpopular opinions on watches, but it all just comes off too negative and whiny for my liking. I regularly ask TH-cam to stop showing me his videos 😂
Great list! Would check out WristSwap as well. Excellent developing channel with honest reviews and well thought out explanations regarding his own watch journey.
You should really check out Jody @ Just One More Watch, he covers everything but with a bias to affordable watches with excellent production and a hugely engaging personality that really kept me sane in lockdown.
Elizabeth take care of you .....and see you soon ....
I watch most of these TH-camrs and some you didn't mention. As for your list I prefer urban gentry only second to Elizabeth Grant. 😀 cheers Ron
Definitely check Jody from Just One More Watch, he got me into collecting watches years ago.
I don’t give all of them the love they deserve but the ones I do know it 👍
Good choices. I also watch all of them.
I enjoy your channel as well and give you a lot of credit as to how you handled the watchmaker review situation. Only other you tubers I would recommend are the Time Teller, Teddy Baldasarre, Just One More Watch, and one not mentioned a lot….IDGuy….he has a great voice and his watch content is great.
Cool, thanks!
Thanks for sharing this list! I've seen videos from Urban Gentry and Federico. The others are new to me. I also like Terry Baldassarre, Jenni Elle, the guy from Just One More Watch, and of course the great Elizabeth Grant. 😉
Thanks for watching!
For good learning about horological I will recommend very few watch channels.
1. Archy
2.Federico
3 Theo and harris
4. Teddy
5. The urban gentry
6. Roman
7. Watchfinder
One of my favorites is Teddy Baldasare. The information he passes on is top-notch and he is never involved in the nonsense/back biting that seems to occur in the online watch community quite routinely.
I agree with you like 98%. Huge Bruce Williams fan and Oisin. Patreons of both. Oisin Grand Seiko vid was so kick ass I have watched it several times. You are definitely in my top 5. Watch a lot of Teddy too. I can't stand that Nic guy.
Stay pure Elizabeth - don't look up some of the toxic stuff Oisin has come out with recently (on live stream and in his instagram stories) - almost all aimed at Britt, all because he disliked her video on the dip in watch prices. it is really sad he has taken this tack, especially as he is one of the only Irish people in the space - I feel he tars the rest of us. I think we all started with TGV, interesting you stuck with him. I haven't watched a video of his in years. I can only take T&H in small doses but otherwise you are spot on.
Close to the 12K mark !🎉👍🎊
So close!
@@elizabeth_grant you got it 12 K 🎉 🚨🎊👍
All excellent recommendations, without exception. I'd add to the list WatchCrunch and The Time Teller. Oh, and you! [p.s. I can't stand that bloviated buffoon Nico Leonard]
Michael is the soul of Theo & Harris. Christian on the other hand is its colorful shirt.
Great choices. They’re all fantastic. Another channel I’m a big a fan of is IDGuy. I love his focus on history and design. Maybe he’s gotten a little too Rolex/Tudor obsessed lately, but his content and insight are top-notch.
The channels I hate are the ones about making deals, flipping watches, and/or have a prevailing obsession with watches as investments and status symbols. One of these TH-camrs said of the Rolex Explorer: “When I see someone over 30 wearing that piece, I think ‘God…I hope that’s not his grail piece.’”
When I hear people talking like that, I throw up in my mouth a little bit.
Here’s to the great channels, such as yours, that make substantial content that help enthusiasts enjoy the hobby even more.
If there is one thing I've learned in my comments section today, it's that I have to start watching IDguy. He seems to be the consensus pick.
@@elizabeth_grantIDGuy is another rabbit hole, and IMO an entertaining, well-written, and insightful one.
Used to watch Bark & Jack and Theo & Harris but I feel like their egos have grown far too large for their own good.
Glad you knowledge the superior quality of our lord and savior TGV.
Ok ciao
