This week, we're celebrating Canada Day the only way we know how—with watches, terrible jokes, and plenty of random detours.

We kick things off with our Canada Day wrist checks, chat about solar-powered watches, and somehow end up talking about warranties after Alex accidentally breaks the bezel on his Momentum. Jordan's MoonSwatch warranty saga continues, while Smartwatch Dick shares his own smartwatch replacement story.

Then it's time for another round of Smartwatch Dick's Nitpicks & Corrections, where we dive into:

Why watch brands should measure thickness with the crystal.

Are GMT watches taking over the industry?

Do collectors eventually fall out of love with their watches?The history behind Timex and Snoopy.

We also check out two incredible new releases from MB&F and Baltic, revisit our $2,500 Watch Collection Challenge, give a shout-out to some amazing listeners, and—as always—take a few unexpected detours into wrestling, sports, soccer, basketball, and somehow... pictures of Alex's feet.

Because apparently that's where this show ended up.

The three amigos ride again this week as Alex and Jordan are reunited with Smartwatch Dick for a massive round of nitpicks, corrections, and a video call-out from a legendary golf trip OG that you absolutely cannot miss.

Then, the boys are joined by James, the mastermind behind Canuck Timepieces. James shares his incredible journey from tracking down streetwear and sneakers to obsessed watch collector, and finally, to designing bold, independent Canadian watches. From drilling holes in custom enamel dials in his garage to launching the mind-bending Fourth Dimension series and his upcoming custom cushion case, James drops a masterclass in what it means to build a brand fueled by genuine passion and collaboration.

We dig into:

Why the golf swing is absolutely violent on automatic watch movements.

The history of the Rolex bubble back (and why it's a grail for James).

Why off-the-shelf strap quality on AliExpress might surprise you.

A sneak peek at the new Tonneau cushion case dropping at the Toronto Timepiece Show.

At some point every watch collector faces the same question: Do I really need all these watches?

Fresh off our annual golf trip, we found ourselves having exactly that conversation. This week we're talking about collections that have grown, watches that aren't getting wrist time anymore, and the difficult decision of whether it's finally time to start selling some pieces. We also discuss why certain watches connect with us, why others slowly get left behind, and how our tastes have changed as collectors.

Of course, it wouldn't be Watch You Talkin' About without diving into some of the latest releases, including a new Tudor chronograph, an eye-catching Doxa, Christopher Ward's fun new Pool Diver, and another Snoopy watch that got us asking if the market is finally reaching Snoopy overload.

This week we're joined by Alex's step father-in-law, Joe, for a deep dive into the world of vintage watches, watch repair, collecting, and the thrill of the hunt.

Joe has been buying, selling, collecting, and repairing watches for years. What started as frustration with a repair experience eventually turned into a passion for learning how watches work from the inside out. Today he spends countless hours restoring vintage pieces, sourcing parts, chasing rare movements, and hunting down hidden gems on eBay.

In this episode we discuss:

⌚ How Joe got started in watch repair
⌚ Vintage Rolex Bubblebacks and Omega movements
⌚ Why vintage watches still matter
⌚ Buying and selling watches on eBay
⌚ The challenge of sourcing parts and restoring old watches
⌚ Chronographs, hairsprings, and movement repair
⌚ The watches currently on Joe's workbench
⌚ Why the hunt is often as rewarding as the watch itself

Whether you're into modern watches, vintage pieces, or simply love hearing passionate collectors share their stories, this is a conversation you won't want to miss.

What vintage watch would you love to add to your collection?

Fresh off our interview with Mike Pearson from Christopher Ward and an incredible event in Calgary, we're back to recap the experience, share some behind-the-scenes stories, and talk about the watches that followed us home.

Unfortunately, our wallets didn't survive the trip.

This week features a Triple Watch Alert as Alex, Jordan, and Smartwatch Dick all reveal the latest additions to their collections.

Alex and Jordan also share their first impressions of the Christopher Ward C63 Sealander Extreme GMT after finally getting them on wrist.

Whether you're a Christopher Ward fan, a microbrand enthusiast, or just enjoy hearing collectors talk watches, we hope you enjoy the conversation.
