Watching Watches Watch
About this episode

This week on aBlogtoWatch Weekly, Rick is joined by Ariel, Ripley, and David, as per usual. After some chat about Jeff Goldblum's new show, Chaos, in which a certain Casio timepiece figures prominently, Ariel and Ripley explain why they're exhausted. They've just returned from Apple headquarters in Cupertino, California, where the brand debuted two new Apple Watch models. Because they drove up and back in a 12-hour round-trip loop, they were pooped. Nonetheless, they both had much to say about these two new watches, not to mention Apple's security system. David also discussed how some traditional watch brands frown upon watch media covering smartwatches at all — obviously, an interest for many of our readers. Moving on to a release at the opposite end of the spectrum, the team looks at the new Biver Automatique Watches, which Ariel thinks are "nice" in their design to be affordable. Ripley feels sure we'll see the same movement used in the Automatiques appear in other iterations in the near future. The guys have fun with this week's round of "Guess the Price of the Seiko," for which there's a $90,000 price gap among the guesses, so listen in to see who wins and who's way off base. As always, they end with a fun round of "Hit, Miss, Maybe." 0:00 Introduction 3:32 Hands-On Debut: Apple Watch Series 10 Titanium & Aluminum Smartwatches https://www.ablogtowatch.com/hands-on-debut-apple-watch-series-10-aluminum-titanium-smartwatches/ 5:50 Hands-On Debut: Apple Watch Ultra 2 Black DLC Titanium Smartwatch https://www.ablogtowatch.com/hands-on-debut-apple-watch-ultra-2-black-dlc-titanium-smartwatch/ 24:28 New Release: Biver Automatique Watches https://www.ablogtowatch.com/new-release-biver-automatique-watches/ 33:30 GUESS THE PRICE OF THE SEIKO New Release: Grand Seiko Evolution 9 Collection Spring Drive 5 Days SLGA025 https://www.ablogtowatch.com/new-release-grand-seiko-evolution-9-collection-spring-drive-5-days-slga025-watch/ 38:10 Hit, Miss, Maybe 45:38 New Release: Tissot PRX Powermatic 80 Forged Carbon Watch https://www.ablogtowatch.com/new-release-tissot-prx-powermatic-80-forged-carbon-watch/ 55:00 New Release: Audemars Piguet Code 11.59 Selfwinding Flying Tourbillon Chronograph Shades Of Grey Watch https://www.ablogtowatch.com/new-release-audemars-piguet-code-11-59-selfwinding-flying-tourbillon-chronograph-shades-of-grey-watch/ 1:06:00 Apples Watches Part Deux Check out ABTW on YouTube to catch up on the latest episodes of ABTWW, Hit, Miss, Maybe, video reviews, and more.
