Why don't we buy some watches that we love? Q&A episode.
04/02/2026 | 42 mins.In this episode we answer questions from a few of our amazing listeners! We discuss the future successes and failures of watch brands, what makes us pivot between brands over time, what watches we love but still won't buy, underrated watches and more!
Thanks for the questions, @watch_girl_life, @nomoschino, @syktgrei.elgada, @thewatchshowfinland, @enjoy.your_time, @rabcho!- 2025 marked some real changes for both of us in terms of our collections... with Lydia taking a more measured approach than previous years and Vu going wild. Perhaps for the household this is a good strategy, to take turns?
We discuss which watches we bought and why, and what was different about 2025 and what that might mean for the future of our collections.
