Helloooo everyone - happy Saturday! Given the question in this video: what do you think is missing in the watch world?

[@steveantson9608]

You've said your favorite watches on a few occasions. What are some of your husbands? Do you both have the same taste in watches?

I can't be the only person to get home, change into a different set of clothes for indoors and throw on a different watch (and maybe switch it out for another one every couple hours).

[@ofmanynicknames]

Heck during quarantine there’ve been days when I’ve gone through five watches in one day.

I do too 👌

[@grale78]

I usually after work put down my Certina PH200 and put my G-Shock on.

[@timmanion7459]

I'm the opposite. I usually never take off my watch unless I'm changing watches on my rotation. I think , from so many years in the military, I feel incomplete without a watch on . When I wake up in the middle of the night, I always look at my watch to see the time . Old habits die hard !!!

[@SuperScreamie]

Same, I only take my watch off to shower or to switch watches

is it comfortable wearing a watch to bed? I've never done it

[@stevefox8605]

@@JLchevz I don't notice it at all. Try it.

[@timmanion7459]

@@JLchevz I never think about it . In the military our unit (special operations) always wore our watches. You're always timing something. How many seconds are you free falling before pulling your rip cord. How many minutes have I been under the water + decompression time. What time to go on watch . Etc , etc. Many timmes you had to get up and go . Didn't pay to take it off . Old habits die hard .

[@ItsNeverTooHot4Leather]

As a native English speaker from the US, I would actually prefer to see the native language of origin written on the dial of the watch (I'd rather see the native language of origin used for the entire watch, actually). It is one of my favorite things about my vintage Boctok Амфuбuя. It says "сделано в cccp" at the bottom of the dial.

[@hombre3000]

Agreed - same reason I bought an HMT with Hindi numerals!

[@mrmagoo.3678]

I gotta agree..why I got the Seagull chronograph.. It screams old china

[@jimg518]

My wife does what you do- watches/jewelry come off when she is home. I’m the opposite and wear mine all the time except when: showering,working outside (yard,snow), golf,working out. A quick glance at my watch during the night and I’m right back to sleep. Looking at a clock on the nightstand, forget it, I’m wide awake.

[@BryanO92]

A Lange on a NATO doesn't make me cry, it makes me want to tell Noah to get the boat ready.

[@wildandimasbramantyo7131]

Since I am still WFH, I always wear my watch when I am at home especially every time I need to attend a meeting. It makes me collected even though people won't notice I am wearing one! Big fan btw, good luck with your upcoming online store! 🎉

[@BrittPearceWatches]

You and me BOTH on that Santos game. I would freaking love to add a Santos to my collection. Fabulous video as always girl!

[@tristanolarti9671]

Ahhh I love this channel. Plus a NEW store!!

[@alexanderyan7084]

Wearing one unless sleeping/showering even when quarantined at home👌

[@Yguo5]

i used to be the “watch only when leaving home” kinda guy. however, due to covid i’ve almost never wear my GS for a year and i feel it deserves more love. so i bought a casio f91w and my new routine: casio when wake up and morning tennis, take off casio and shower, GS till night shower, casio to sleep with. the casio’s light weight and weak illumination make it a perfect sleep watch.

[@charles_the_elder]

In answer to your question about taking off your watch, I take mine off when I shower. Otherwise I always wear a watch. I got used to wearing a watch all day every day when I was in the army, and I'm too old to change now.

[@MD-md4th]

“Nautilus or Royal Oak? Neither!” LOL! To “Grandpa watch”, I would also add “lounge lizard watch”. Your honesty is a breath of fresh air.

I used to take my watch off when I got home as well, but now I'm always at home, for obvious reasons, so I tend to wear my watches at home now, because otherwise I don't have an occasion to wear them, unfortunetly...

[@danielpaulson3631]

When I get home, I change from work clothes to daddying clothes, which usually involves switching a dress watch for a Hamilton Field Mechanical on a nato.

[@neilmackenzie6436]

Great taste! Just picked up the Aquanaut Travel Time and can't stop wearing it (and playing with it).

I asked the service question to someone in a Grand Seiko boutique; their answer was that probably my son or my grandson would need to service it XD They said the spring drive should last 50+ year without anyone messing with it

[@hannahbanana1986]

Hey Jenni - awesome video - that Cartier Santos looks like a GREAT 30th birthday gift! Can I ask a question about the watch rolls? I have a small wrist so, consequently, when I buy a watch I have to remove many of the links which of course leaves a very small band which generally doesn't work with watch rolls because the cushions are so big I cannot close the clasp of my piece around them.... Is there any rolls you can buy with smaller cushions? Cheers - love your work ;)

[@alexanderbogander2671]

Thanks for discussing my question, I feel honoured 😂

[@nikhilmathur6042]

I never take my watch off unless I’m about to go and sleep. Except even then I usually where my watch when I sleep. Idk it’s funny I just feel uncomfortable when I don’t have it one. I’m kind of attached emotionally to it 😂😂😂

[@pranavkarol]

❤️ the Q&A

[@chuckc7210]

Take off my watch when I shower. That's it!

[@BrittPearceWatches]

This is real! Same here.

[@Nothingtoya]

I personally love looking at my watches, so I wear one most of the time

[@GS_Superman]

I personally change watches when I get home to match my comfortable settings, most commonly the BB58 or Seamaster in rubber strap. Nighttime is Casio G-Shock 5610 for the backlight in the middle of the night.

[@johnantetomaso657]

You are one sharp cookie for 29. I was still sucking my thumb at your age and was in heavy, heavy debt. Today and 57, well let's just say I reached my goals which is amazing because I did everything wrong when I was your age and beyond.

As a guy who usually has three watches on his bedside table, I think I’m gonna need one of those watch rolls when the international store goes live!

Agreed jenni I wish all watches could come with their providence, history and design origins

[@simonyu8838]

Cartier dials are indeed amazing when you see them in person. Your previous video on the brand is at least 50% of the reason I got a steel Tank Anglaise a few weeks back. And now I also kind of want to save up for a Santos for a more everyday wearable piece.

[@scottlalonde2878]

Great video, Jenni, thank you. Agree Dornbluth is awesome. I take my watch off after work, wash my hands and wrists, and wash watch, if needed, and put back on or another one and not take off till morning shower.

[@dr3w79]

I wear my most precious vintage watches when I'm at home.

[@marcgirard7551]

Great Q&A! Just FYI - Omega says 8 years service interval for their pre-Metas coaxial movements but AD will tell you to go 10 with no problem. I believe the Metas ones are 10 years now. I wonder if Tudor is the same?

[@bjoernaltmann]

Tudor is five years like Rolex.

[@hoffmancapote]

I never take my watches off. When I go to bed I wear a Fitbit on my left arm and a Garmin Fenix 6 on my right, both fitness trackers, which also measure sleep stages etc. I have a lot of watches so usually change from one to the other during the day. I have a few xpensive watches ( not super expensive) but not a watch snob so have some really cheep watches, which I cherish also. Because I have a few watches I rarely get them serviced because really no point if I only wear each watch a few days a month. Wearing a Junker Max Bill as I write this, which I like a lot because of its simplicity and lack of clutter

[@checksix_TC]

My X33 Solar Impulse is so light, I tend to forget it's there on my wrist. I never remove my watch, except while showering. I like having it around as my portable very loud alarm clock! It's also very handy to time my 3 minute eggs or my cup noodles in my kitchen or office pantry.

[@wopwops0482]

Former Rolex Submariner owner here: If you SCUBA dive, the crown gaskets need to be done every three years. That's why I sold mine. If you just desk dive... Maybe it could go a decade.

[@radoslawjocz2976]

Hi I do wear my watches usually 24h per day 7 days per week. I take the watch from my wrist only when I want to change it to the other one or when I am getting a bath and it has a letter strap. Or changing the date or time or battery or strap. Occasionally I do take it off for different reasons but not very often. I think the reason why I didn't remove watch when I am at home because my watches fits ver well and are not disturbing me. I don't have oversize watches as I am conservative in this field.

[@iamsam8446]

I like the book section, particularly the first one.

In a previous Q&A when asked about your work background and you said retail...I thought hmmm. Might be A&F or Hco she just has the vibe. And hearing you say it now I was like I KNEW IT! As a former employee as well I feel like you know them when you see them haha. Nice channel 👍

Laco watches are great german watches at an affordable price. They also have a fair bit of heritage on them. Cheers from the Philippines Jenni!

[@jwdepriest]

1. Too industrial, but you like all the screws on the Cartier... hmmmm... LOL. 2. I can't say I'm a huge fan of the Nautilus either, so I'm with you there. I love that AP bracelet though after seeing one in person a few months ago! 3. That Moser "loading" sub dial would drive me crazy. 4. Lange on a Nato doesn't make me cry, but it doesn't make me want one either. Great topics and I love how you have the "chapters" broken out.

[@ShiroKage009]

I keep a watch on when I'm at home. I need to time things a lot at work, and a chronograph happens to be more convenient than taking things out of my pocket when I'm in a lab. So, when I get home, I wear watches that I don't wear as often when I'm at work. I would wear a field watch if I'm grilling, for example, or something that I can wash without a worry when cooking. I just enjoy wearing watches.

[@bigdog44b4u]

Great video. Really enjoyed. What is missing is an effort to enroll new and young watch enthusiasts. To keep watches “timeless” we can’t let them be just a thing of well to do or older people.

[@thomasg.109]

I wear my watches at home after work so I can enjoy them that much more. I often change to another watch when I come home for more wrist time with my collection, why not, if you don’t wear them you limit the enjoyment you receive. If the watch feels heavy after a full day I will take it off. Any handy work around the house or outdoor maintenance usually warrants not wearing a finer timepiece.
