Talking Watches With Gary Striewski, ESPN SportsCenter Anchor

Gary Striewski is one of ESPN's rising stars, having started for the network as a host for social media content before quickly rising up the ranks to host, at the desk, for its flagship property, SportsCenter (cue the music). From his journey as a baseball sports reporter in Boston to the big leagues, Striewski has developed an absolutely insatiable appetite for watches.
There are a few pinch-me moments in this job, and folks, this was one of them.

[@SoobinOh]

This was the best episode of this I’ve seen. Relatable while still showing some heavy hitters

[@joonsup]

I think you hit it right on the head with this comment.

[@BrittPearceWatches]

Man, I absolutely love the breadth in his collection! Loved every second of this

[@tricky92x]

I love that he went after a birth year watch.

[@javicepeda4507]

As a fellow Boston Watch Shots member, couldn’t be happier with this interview. Gary killed it! Awesome to see our little Timex get the recognition it deserves!

[@Nomafternoon]

Wow this interview is just phenomenal and I havent been compelled to Hodinkee interview like this since John Mayer's. The way Gary articulates his stories tied to watches and his appreciation for them are just top notch. Never knew who this guy was but he is very astute, humble, and respectful. Props to the interviewer and Gary 🎉

[@ChrisVPlant]

What a diverse collection, so great to see a truly passionate enthusiast that appreciates every kind of watch. Great job dink!

[@aryamansinha9309]

phenomenal collection and a true watch guy props to Gary!!

[@tiagodvt]

You can tell he is a true watch lover, and that's what I like to see!

[@cjsolarmusic]

This dude makes me want to start watching Sports center again after stopping years ago lol great episode!

[@garystriewski1]

😂😂🫡

[@JtJohnson89]

The best TWs in quite a long time! Great job Danny!

[@boombringer4078]

I live for these videos!!!! this guy seems so down to earth even though he has an awesome job. Thanks guys!

[@mr0ptimistic]

I don't know how I missed this episode when it released but very happy to have caught it now. Danny does a great job with the interview and Gary has a natural likeable camera personality. Excellent episode and great collection.

[@wcunneenjr]

Wow…what a good guy. Really enjoyed this episode…would love for Gary to have more airtime on the channel. He’s truly an up and coming collector. Patek next?!?

[@nursultantulyakbay7070]

What a cool guy. One of the best episodes yet 👏🏼.

[@akinigiri]

What a great guy! Love Gary! Great interview team

[@mdtell]

Great episode- well done Danny. We need Desmond Howard on Talking Watches! When he does live shots from his house you always see the Foulkes Patek Phillippe Book behind him! You know he's deep if that's there haha

[@UenoNights]

The gift at the end, what a guy

[@cdm765]

This was exceptional! Such a good one

[@skyblue314]

Great collection and an even greater guy!

[@dessdias]

Best episode ever!

[@mr924Sman]

Love the old sports center commercial throwback

[@MrGMT1992]

Probably the best most relatable episode I've seen

[@jaycwc]

Best episode in a while

[@hlee1417]

I loved everything about this episode!

[@Mahmoud-mk9rw]

Gary is perfect that dude is special. I really believe Stu Scott is smiling down from heaven on this kid because he gets it I’ve watched sportscenter for at least 30 years Stu would have been proud of this kid I know it.

[@jwpratt1947]

What a great interview.....thanks

[@JPW13008]

Great episode! Gary is the man and by looking at the collection he is a true enthusiast.

[@afrothundar]

You be young and have some money in your pocket. Great episode!

[@axiom4694]

Such a great episode . I had no idea who this guy was but I'm a fan now .

[@henkvandebeek7921]

What a nice guy!

[@richsun247]

Great collection! Hits on all spectrums.

[@ninjaterrorist]

Definitely in the top 3 of the TW interviews, so effortless and natural. Gary is a great guy.

[@stephengoodin9584]

This was a great one, well done.

[@Xavier1320]

Really fun episode!

[@VicHimself]

This gentleman is a true reprisentation of a watch enthusiast.

[@KENZOkm]

ahh man, such a nice episode for a midday break!

[@yeshigyatso7664]

Wow really respect this ESPN guy true watch appreciate collecter❤

[@JamisonHarris12]

I needed this video today

[@7khon731]

anyone notice how at 14:57 the minute tracker subdial is shaking before transitioning?

[@theejpp]

No one will top Mayer but damn does this come close! Gary is an awesome human and he's got a hell of a collection. Might want to get that Daytona serviced though... that chrono minutes hand at 14:47 looks a bit off lol

[@Wisefredo]

Loved this episode!!!

[@kalpanallahandi5931]

True watch guy!

[@edjack1993]

As soon as I saw the watch box with Casios next to Rolex, I was IN 😀 Great collection 👏🏻

[@accordingtorichard]

BEST EPISODE

[@kentaro78]

That Gary guy, yeah he's cool!!!

[@ralexand56]

Didn't know the guy. Very cool guy.

[@aciel-tv]

Haha the ending. I m suspecting he will add a gmt meteorite in wg someday, cos of that love for gmt master ii. Haha

[@user-fw2km5dx8d]

I like that Tony Soprano's watch

[@BWen3]

Great guy. If anyone deserves a call from the AD after 2 weeks (I’ve been quoted 2 years 🤣) it’s him!

[@Bullishspykid]

Wow! This is the best interview in years! Way to go Hodinkee. You guys let the watch community down for a while but this episode is headed for direction

[@przemyslawskoczylas5183]

I can immediately recall an exact opposite to this episode, so cringe, only fans could get through it.. Well done Gary.

[@ShabbaRanksMF]

I've tried but aside from the Coke bezel GMT and the Clint Eastwood GMT, I don't understand why people like Rolexes. I just don't find them attractive. The sales situation with swindling & condescending sales staff combined with Rolex's conscious effort to deny this while condoning it at the same time, doesn't help it. Also.... funny how he doesn't think the Apple Watch does the job of a GMT? Even though it not only has a GMT face but can display 6 different time zones simultaneously on one face. Weird he doesn't know that.

[@Gamalongbrand]

This dude mention Brink and I instantly became a fan.

[@yeshigyatso7664]

I am lecoultre fan

[@rpm8865]

ESPN pays their employees waaaay too much

[@DadeMurphie]

I don't understand how a GMT is actually useful for travelers. You had to know the time difference when you set the other time zone. Just do the math.

[@shaifulothman7442]

I wanted to watch it at first because it's Hodinkee.. Then I realized the guest is from ESPN.

[@TheSafeGolfer]

Team Pup and Suds!

[@jackholmes9437]

Gary is so real with it. It’s fun listening to people with money who are still normal. Insane collection too

[@thewatchloungechris]

I love the Roberto Clemente Oris

[@kroy2121]

Six minutes into the video and I feel compelled to say that this episode is SO GOOD

[@callsupport722]

This was a fun episode. great collection, Gary! The small gesture in the end just says a lot about your character.

[@Lancermongoose55]

I didn’t know of Gary before this interview but I absolutely enjoyed him sharing his passion. One of the best Talking Watches ever.

[@devandiamond4693]

What a cool dude! Love the stories and sentiment behind his collection. Great back and forth !

[@Theultimateclimber]

This guy was the best guest on talking watches. His personality made the mood and also made up for the lack of background music. A super charismatic dude and great guest to watch 👏

[@SteveFWatches]

was not expecting to start off with that Seiko world timer. Very cool to see! Also never seen that Oris either. Such a diverse genuine collection

[@corysekine-pettite1783]

Cool ep. Gary is clearly a watch guy, not just a collector of luxury watches like many.

[@sackman1886]

Fantastic episode! Nicely done. What a nice dude with a great collection.

[@chuckandary7115]

Sick collection And Gary is a down to earth guy, you can tell he really understands his position and what he can do for him self but also his family Great video

[@ip_freely]

I hope Hodinkee made this guy pay them for this advertisement ...

[@mrap2427]

by far the best episode… both guys were completely having horological, fun, enriched conversation🎉

[@jethrojacinto2798]

As a big Red Sox fan and watch guy, this was the Hodinkee episode I'd never thought I'd see. Never knew Gary K. was such a watch guy, it's really cool to see.

[@BrokeWatchFanatic]

Definitely in the top 5 of the talking watches series.

[@Azuyugi]

Call me mad but this is better than the interview with John Mayer

[@championzhu]

I guess it helps when you're a TV personality trying to get a watch from ADs. For a normal person to try to get this collection, there probably needs to be 30 other complete junk Hulbots on the table just for the spending that is required to get the call for the set of sports rolexes.

[@jez443]

Love to see watches in all price ranges. That’s a true collector.

[@JonGotts]

This video is only topped by John Mayer's two videos. This guy is the business.

[@justthepip]

"Can you tell me about Uranus?" lollll

[@KevonLovelace]

I can't believe I still chuckle over a cleverly worded Uranus pun 😂

[@swiss86watches]

This episode is awesome 😎 and thanks for acknowledging to the world 🌍 Affirm is awesome 👏

[@YongJoonPaek]

this guy is just straight up raw talent. he just has a certain likeability and confidence about him.

[@KristianDowling]

What a cool guy, now on my radar. Loved the story and choice of character H

[@mcraulv2024]

Already can’t wait for Hodinkee to interview Gary again a few years from now

[@gou02]

Awesome video! Gary you killed it man ❤ And what about that collection.. man some serious pieces there 👀

[@BWen3]

Hodinkee get Desmond Howard on!

[@pavanbharteey7269]

Awesome interview, no commercials, just pure watch talk!

[@yzsnake8323]

Gary definitely knows his watches, this episode is soooo good and fun!

[@drsunju]

Gary is so charismatic. I guess you can't get the gig he has without being like that but dang. Incredible interview, person and watch (no pun intended).

[@dwrenn493]

So Fred Savage TW was great and I got the same feeling after watching Gary. Humble, funny, articulate, and passionate. I look forward to seeing him rise to Hall of Fame status in sports media. I also love that his dad was service driven for country and then community. I needed this after a rough week.

[@NateOrsini]

Gary is an everyman watch collector with a phenomenal collection with incredible backstories. Grest episode!

[@TickingChris]

Gary is the man! Very cool episode.

[@JosephWhitman-zb7jz]

You guys need to do a Talking Watches with Tim Allen. Please reach out to him... He's the greatest comedian of all time.

[@jakegriffin4003]

Great episode. Gary seems like a genuinely cool guy that’s more than deserving of a great collection like this.

[@dlhussain81]

Most enjoyable talking watches ever!

[@Tacticalwon]

Boston Watch Shots!

[@treybird893]

Best one in a long time, bravo Gary!

[@med-3000]

Really personal, diverse and contemporary collection, very cool.

[@TwSClan]

This guy was a vibe, awesome episode !

[@albimoi84]

Damn good energy..a favor of all your interviews

[@nripendratamang9855]

One the best videos in a long while

[@fjones1914]

That was a fun interview. Thanks for sharing that gem with us!

[@chriso5963]

Nice gift from Gary. He also kept the whole conversation interesting .
