    Episode 35: The Wristies Swap Wrist Sizes and Choose Six Watch Collections, PLUS Christopher Ward, Gallet, AND IMAN'S NEW PLAY!
    2026/09/17
    This week, the Wristies pull the ole switcheroo and do a Wristy Wrist Swap. Iman has to choose a six-watch collection as if she had Chris's 7.6in/19.3cm wrist, and Chris has to choose a six-watch collection as if he had Iman's 5.5in/14cm wrist. What do you think of the collections we chose? PLUS at a Watch Crimes segment where Iman goes banana pancakes on Gallet for omitting a commonly used city on a world timer; and Chris goes full cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs over the reductive mindset of the watch world's Voldemort.

    This is the first of two episodes on our everyday carry items. In this episode, we talk about clothes and the stress of dealing with body dysmorphia. We chat about staples in our own wardrobes and our "must-haves". If you believe you have undiagnosed Body Dysmorphic Disorder, please consult a mental health professional. We both believe in therapy as a helpful tool for anyone. But here are some helpful resources.

    Episode 30: New Watch Releases - Seiko, Formex, Christopher Ward, Breguet, Beaucroft, and more… Plus Watch N3W5!
    2026/07/09

    The Wristies get back to basics. No guests. No fluff. Just catching up on some of our favorite new watches, a couple of not-so-favorites, and some initial thoughts on the former AP CEO’s new brand.

    ***CORRECTION*** In this episode, we mention a collaboration between Venezianico and IFLW. We mistakenly attribute the work to the Dial Artist (Chris Alexander), and we have been informed that he has not worked with IFLW for quite some time. We apologize for the mix-up, but stand by the opinions on the watch itself. If you want to check out some of the great work the Dial Artist has been doing, check out the new Christopher Ward Twelve Xander HERE!***
