    I barely check out Hodinkee anymore, but when Ben does a Talking Watches, it reminds me of why I first liked the site. This is the best of Hodinkee. Even though I don't know Maroon 5, Adam Levine comes across well and seems likable and down to earth. Excellent interview!

    Adam mentioned John Mayer giving Maroon 5 a big break as an opener: As a freshman in high school, I saw them open for John at the RPI Fieldhouse in Troy, NY (a hockey rink, basically). I think it was 2001 or 2002. That performance made me a fan. I love how their cross-section of interests, like watch collecting, has evolved since then. They've gone from playing to a few hundred people on the same bill to owning Rainbow Daytonas and becoming music legends of our time. So incredibly cool.

      Totally agree. Honestly at Adam’s wealth level it’s cool he’s taken somewhat of a technical interest at all and attached some meaning to certain pieces. He could just buy whatever and know nothing. People have different hobbies and knowledge isn’t a pre-requisite of owning nice pieces. With that said it’s a little annoying/prototypical for someone to JUST go for Rolexes when there are tons of other brands

    Interesting perspective, I actually enjoyed this video. Adam Levine is still learning and exploring his love for watches. I don't think he needs to be an expert. He is learning about them, and creating memories with them. Sometimes we have to take a step back and just remember that we all have to start somewhere. If he loves watches thats enough.

    Awesome content. Love seeing celebrities be human. I'd always hear Mayer over the mic, on his 2002 live album Any Given Thursday, saying "Thank you for opening Maroon 5" but could never be sure since the crowd was screaming and I could never find any information online confirming this. Cool to hear it from Adams mouth. Keep up the hustle Hodinkee!

    Nice to see new TW videos! Next get Richard Hammond, he has many cool watches. And for the last time, dear Hodinkee, put all your mighty resources towards getting an TW with Eric Clapton! No matter the cost or power needed, the world deserves to know what's on the wrist of the Slowhand. I know he can be a bit arrogant, but just play along and give him whatever respect and admiration to get the bloody yes of him. Preferably an hour long, and with Ben ofc. Maybe do it in his garage as well. The last one will work on Hammond too. But whatever you do, don't play any music by Geneis!

    Love Hodinkee, but it's annoying when they have guests on this show who own only one brand of watches (usually Rolex). I mean, if you're a Rolex fan, these are great, but if you're not, then it's just more of the same old, same old...in my opinion of course. Don't get me wrong, the stories surrounding the watches are interesting, but as a watch enthusiast and admirer of many watch brands, I find the Rolex heavy episodes to be monotonous.

    this may seem like a stupid question. But i am new to the watch game. Can someone explain to me some of the noticeable changes on Adam's Daytona's that make it a franken watch? I am trying to avoid similar mistakes on my watch journey, as i don't have the same level of disposable income as Adam does. Thanks in advance!
