Hello and welcome to yet another exciting edition of The HourTime Show, the official podcast of WristWatchReview.com. Your hosts this week are Victor, Nicholas, and Rikki from Scottish Watches. Yes!!!

We start this week with a quick explanation of where we've been. Nicholas had to make an unexpected trip to Puerto Rico to attend a family matter but he's back in New York now and everything is OK. The trip did provide a good opportunity to wear the solar powered G-Shock (GWM5610-1), which definitely did a good job.

The trip to Puerto Rico also inspired Nicholas to start wearing his Apple Watch around the house again. This, in turn, sparks a wider discussion on smart watches, whether they're "real" watches or not, and the role that the Apple Watch plays in introducing folks to watches. This, by the way, is something Nicholas recently wrote about for HODINKEE (!), how the Apple Watch rekindled his interest in watches. Please read it!

We then turn the discussion toward more traditional watches, and Rikki goes into what he's been wearing the most lately, the Horage Tourbillon-1, and his attitude toward the wider hobby and how being a content creator influences his thinking. Rikki also recounts his recent visit to Dubai Watch World, including the "vibe" of the show given that we're still dealing with Covid.

There's a bit more to the episode, including watch media talk, the role of influencers, and good (and bad!) affordable watches, but these show notes have gone on long enough.

Thanks once again to Andrew Haworth for producing this week's episode.
