as a bloke with a terrible fashion sense (i'm stuck in the late 90's lol) it's great to get a Females perspective that isn't a watch enthusiast too, We tend to just like what we like and that's that.. so.. Keep it goin! thanks!! :)
I asked my wife what she thought of my collection. Her answer "I have no opinion apart from the fact there are too many". Perfectly sums up what most people think of watches.
Lol, also we shouldn't forget that 99% of people don't care about our 80-hour power reserves, or spring drives, or beautifully designed movements, so you should only buy the watches that make you happier. But it still remains one of the best parts of the show, as we're here not only for the reviews, but for entertainment as well!
Sounds somewhat familiar. Although I made my life harder by myself when I bought a separate box to „outsource“ the Casios (so that I have more space in both boxes now). This made things too obvious 😅
The wife's review is easily the best part of the video. It's refreshing to hear what 'normal' people think of something watch enthusiasts are crazy about.
Great collection you have there. That Vertex Aqualion is a stunna! You came out pretty well this time with your wife’s reviews. Love how she is so brutally honest. She’s a keeper!
Love What the Wife Thinks 😂All things considered you came out ok there I think! And all joking aside, it’s great to get a non watch enthusiast perspective on things. It’s easy for us to get lost in the weeds with watches sometimes 😂 Another awesome show MWC 👏👏👏👏
The wife was quite kind and let me scoop up a Tudor BB36 recently. Rate to see those in the wild in these parts. Bless all the significant others for their patience with our crazy hobby. Love how you dovetail your better half into the videos. Awesome new series, Russell. Keep up the good work, as always!!!
Interesting how she gravitates to the classic military styles, and away from anything flashy…. Let her give that Hamilton some wrist time!!! Great video as always 👏🏽
She really has great taste, having picked out the Fortis and Hamilton, which are great. She also appreciated the GS SBGN003, which shows great taste, and I was holding my breath, because I‘m the proud owner of a SBGN005!
The Grand Seiko is on a different level. Nice ! Flip the coin, maybe you could do the wifes' shoes or handbags ????? Question is are you brave enough !!!!!
My wife saw me wearing my Casio F91W and felt compelled to tell me how much she dislikes it. She never mentions any of my watches as I'm wearing them, but that one just flipped a switch in her head. She said it "looks like a $10 cheapo from Wal-Mart," all of which was 100% true, as I bought it for about $10 from Wal-Mart. I tried to clue her in to the "historical" importance of this watch, but she just rolled her eyes. "It's so small on you it looks like you stole some kid's watch." All fair points, but still...
Another great collection Russ. I used to have an original 1970s Hamilton (why did I ever sell it???). They were £10 in Exchange & Mart back in the day. The only fly in the ointment of your collection is the Fortis. If I was you I'd definitely sell it... to me 😉
Your hilarious MWC I love love how your wife just rips your watches apart reminds me of my wife giving her thoughts on my watch collection she especially does not like my seiko srpk20 blue dial….i think it’s a beautiful watch my 2nd seiko I own
Great work as always MWC!!!!! You have become one of my favorite TH-cam creators and I look forward to all of your new content. I absolutely love the "What the Wife Thinks" section in your vids. Your sense of humor is infectious, your creativity is so entertaining and you really know what you are talking about..... A rare and enjoyable combination... It must be said that "The House of Pagani" is my absolute favorite bit..... When you started one bit by talking about your "shingles" you reminded me of me!!!!! Keep up the great work Sir!!!
Another stunner Mr & Mrs MWC, thank you. It made me get out my SBS Diver and go shopping at CWC for a new strap! Chatting to them about an option they sent me a photo of a prototype diver I think you might like! I felt honoured and would love to show you but they said if I shared it they knew where it had leaked and would send out the Marines!!!! Cheers Rus! 😄
You pointed to what should have been another episode but I didn’t see anything , could be me , great show as ever matey and the wife will have her own show soon😂 .
That Grand Seiko is my next Grand Seiko, though with a blue dial. I also like my full metal square a lot. Usually, your wife’s opinions are spot on, today was a bit off.
@@THEMADWATCHCOLLECTOR Exactly, be happy yours doesn't care too much, you would face the same horrors and fears of disappearing watches I do otherwise. I am keeping my new GA-B2100 Yellow in a secret place now, before she claims it again. Of course I am not telling you ! She might read this ! 😁😁😉😉
Love it!! 🤣❤ I'm so glad you decided to hang on to the Hamilton and the Fortis. Definitely keepers, particularly the Fortis. I felt your pain with her reaction to the Steel Square, I love mine and can honestly say, I haven't sold anything illegal from the boot of my car for months! 😁
For part 3, may I suggest we have viewers submit audio recordings of their wives reading your Wife's reviews. A bit of fun without poking fun at anyone.
Hi Russell, just checked your merch, I thought you have t shirt that said get your watch out, but you don't. Make one, I'll get one. I'll check again soon. Cheers budd👍
I did not expect that Grand Seiko SBGE201 to be so expensive ^___^ I liked the Gemini Lorier (a brand I didn't know, they still produce it , other color dial tho)
Love this one. Clearly you got the wife just where she wants you 😀. I have to say that CWC is starting to grow on me. and the Islander TGV looks fantastic. My personal favourite is the one your wife likes the least and I'm happy with mine.
I'm divorced since over a year now, unfortunately. My wife never did care much for my interest in watches. It did rub off just a little bit, since I was allowed to gift her a couple of them. I did often ask her about my purchases, and showed them to her. She rarely paid them any interest and pretty much just shrugged. She wasn't too happy about the cost of them, either.
If you’re thinking of buying the Hamilton, I’d advise you to look at the CWC Mellor 72, instead. The CWC is more authentic and cheaper. A Truly brilliant daily-wear watch.
that TGV- Islander watch is a belter, the Lorier too!..if I had My pick of the bunch though?.. it'd have to be the Fortis.. I like everything about that watch! the Grand Seiko's a awkward one for Me, I love nearly everything, but the bezel.. I'm not into the metal bezels, all good when they're smooth un-numbered, but for some reason that really puts me off.. shame, they're top shelf with everything else. :(
I agree with your wife on many of her opinions, especially not liking the Islander logo. Yes, it is a logo of a watch on a watch. Why? We know it's a watch, already. I would have three Islanders in my collection if it were't for the stupid logo. I like the watches but not the logo, Marc.
Love the SKX and a good watch. Lorier are a good microbrand and also in my future. I will be researching Vertex and CWC further. I have a couple of Islander watches and Marc does some great work. That Fortis is incredible. Don't sell it ! Like the Hamilton military field watches too. Grand Seiko GMT is incredible. Your wife's opinions are very similar to mine, but that Frogman is awesome. Thank you as always for your time, effort, and sharing this with us all along with your discerning wife's opinion. Always entertaining. Take care and all the best, Sir.
I mean, she's just obviously not into Casios and electronic "faces" at all (as for me, I guess the G-shock is the only square I'll ever have on my wrist, sorry, Cartier). But hey, she knows what a bezel is, and I didn't know that when I was only wearing Swatches and Casios 10+ years ago. Wait, maybe that was because they didn't have any bezels... Anyway, another nice video! The Fortis and the GS are gorgeous. Add the steel G-Shock and you've got a great 3-watch collection, so you won't need anything else for any occasion. 😪The other pieces in this box are also nice, and so was the previous one. PS: I've had my classic black 5600 square for ±12 years or so, do you think it's worth to upgrade to a modern solar/bluetooth/whatever-else-they've-added version, if the old one still works fine (I've only changed the battery once)?
Hey MWC! I could eventually help you if you want to get another one of the old Fortis Cosmonaut Chronographs. I got mine from a local jeweller that had several pieces in stock and sold them for reduced prices - maybe there are still some around.
Her review on your SKX is pure savage lmaoo. Love your content I have the same size wrist so it's awesome to see the watches on you before buying them :)
I do like the Hamilton, would love the original vintage version or the smiths. Have you ever looked at the Time factors website they do some great old/new military watches
My wife is so disinterested in my "so called" collection that if I even mention a watch she just rolls her eyes and says, "whatever you want me to say about it, I will." Of course, when she asks me stuff like, "am I fat?" or "do these pants make me look fat?" I give her the exact same reaction and response. 😂
The Mrs MWC seems to appreciate analog watches over digital. Interesting 🤔 The Fortis: busy done right. Couldn't agree more. That Fortis stopped me in my tracks to the point I stopped the video just to admire.
Always have a good chuckle with your wife’s comments they’re such a mirror image of her in doors 😂😂. Great part two looking forward to part three? But let’s have your good lady do it,then we will really have a good laugh.
That's what we call an honest review. However, Casio should be got a better response. A look or a movement or a brand history could be cool but in the end a better watch is one that tells time better.
She actually liked a lot more than expected! the "eyes" comment was hilarious! next time throw in a fossil or Michael Khors, be curious if fashion watches win her over haha.
It seems to me that your wife likes exactly the same style of watches that I do: classy, understated, restrainedly masculine, post-war military styles which weirdly happens to be the most neglected product category of all. They are virtually impossible to obtain in near-authentic, unobtrusive style and size (think IWC Mk 11, Mk 12, Seiko RAF chrono). If you want to do me a favour, please, please hand her a Serica 4512 (the current most promising contender). I think she would love it!
Fantastic vid. Love how the wife's opinions are off-the-cuff and reactionary. I'm sad for TGV and Marc from LIW, who got a mental kick to the dangling unmentionables. lol..
GS usually tops every group review for me but I’m torn now because that Fortis is a special speciality with extra specialism. On the other hand, the steel Casio just looks wrong. I thought this when I first saw them but this just confirmed it for me; they look like uber-shiny plastic. Or maybe I’m just programmed to see that because plastic is a G’s natural colour.
Good point!! It goes against everything really that a G-SHOCK was built for. A grade 5 titanium brushed all over case and bracelet that’s the way to go but would be way too much dollar!!

'Too many'?
Yeah, no such phrase exists in this hobby!
Funny that, mine said that too....
Sounds somewhat familiar. Although I made my life harder by myself when I bought a separate box to „outsource“ the Casios (so that I have more space in both boxes now). This made things too obvious 😅
Perfect!!!!;)
I absolutely love these 'Wife Reacts' videos. She really doesn't pull any punches does she? 😆
James!! Appreciate you watching matey!
"She loves simple faces... which is probably why, you know, she's with me."😂
The wife's review is easily the best part of the video. It's refreshing to hear what 'normal' people think of something watch enthusiasts are crazy about.
You have to bring her on so we can get live reactions from her!
Great collection you have there. That Vertex Aqualion is a stunna! You came out pretty well this time with your wife’s reviews. Love how she is so brutally honest. She’s a keeper!
Yeah didn’t take the kicking I could’ve taken!
Love What the Wife Thinks 😂All things considered you came out ok there I think! And all joking aside, it’s great to get a non watch enthusiast perspective on things. It’s easy for us to get lost in the weeds with watches sometimes 😂

Your wife brutally honest reviews are awesome very refreshing
Kills me!!
Love the wife being so honest. I know how painful it can be at times mate.
Thanks my friend!
Interesting how she gravitates to the classic military styles, and away from anything flashy…. Let her give that Hamilton some wrist time!!! Great video as always 👏🏽
I'm definitely gonna give this Hammy to wear!
She really has great taste, having picked out the Fortis and Hamilton, which are great. She also appreciated the GS SBGN003, which shows great taste, and I was holding my breath, because I‘m the proud owner of a SBGN005!
I Did have the "Field First Aid Kit" at the Ready, but i think Herself was pretty Lenient on U. (Casio was Cutting thou)🤣😎🙏

Hell no!!!!!;)

Nah, she is right. The only counter you have: it was cool when i was a teen. That’s not enough.
Just found your channel yesterday. I'm new on the watch collection journey and you are definitely the most entertaining watch TH-cam channel!
Been into watches for a bit and watch a lot of videos on the subject. Can't believe i never came across your videos. Great stuff
Adam!! Thank you so much for finding the shows!!! Welcome aboard!!!

Can't wait for your DW5900 review!
Stellar show! Thanks Russ and Better Half! 👍😊
The Grand Seiko at the end was a beaut!!! I immediately got onto the Seiko website to look it up.
Hahahaha well done my friend!
“Sells illegal stuff out the boot of their car.” Priceless! Your wife is hella cool. Great video.
Hahaha
Like fake Rolex and Omega homages haha
That was quite funny.

Love your collection. The grand seiko gmt is also in my collection its a never sell.
So funny that she zeroed in on the Long Island Watch logo.

Love that grand seiko GMT quartz … I just picked up a 1969 grand seiko 6145-8000 hi beat 36000. Love it
Oh my!!! That is a stunner my friend!
You pointed to what should have been another episode but I didn’t see anything , could be me , great show as ever matey and the wife will have her own show soon😂 .
That review on the full metal square was BRUTAL...!

This was awesome! I chuckled every time you flicked the notebook in anticipation for the wife's review.
Cheers Mike!

I think so to!!!
YESSSS!! Another awesome video Russ! Love your wife's opinions!
The watches my wife likes seem to disappear from my boxes and end up on her wrist. Unfortunately, they are usually my favourites as well !
Maybe I’m lucky she isn’t into watches then my friend!

Nice collection, and good input from the Mad Wife.
Love this one. Clearly you got the wife just where she wants you 😀. I have to say that CWC is starting to grow on me. and the Islander TGV looks fantastic. My personal favourite is the one your wife likes the least and I'm happy with mine.
Oh no my favorite SEIKO SPB313 still not there 😮😂 COULD YOU PLEASE REVIEW IT FOR US❤

The SBGN003 is such a fine piece. Truly love that one.
I do like the Hamilton, would love the original vintage version or the smiths. Have you ever looked at the Time factors website they do some great old/new military watches

No offense Russ, but your wife steals every show. I love the opinions of people who are not deep in the “watch culture “. Thanks for the great content
Agreed!!!;)
Lol at the full metal square review, you should get the gold version (blingmaster), the wife will probably say it's a watch for a serial killer 🤣
Oh my god I may get divorced!!
nice hahaha. will there be more segments of this?
That Vertex is certainly lovely.
Definitely a favourite! Think may have taken the place of the U50 of the first collection had I had the watch sooner!
She is so right abour the Fortis, and the Islander. Aside from the feminine bezel, though I see what she means
Always big smile on my face after watching your video's
So Happy Dirk!!!!
