Watch Magazines?

Just wondering about watch magazines. Which titles do people here subscribe to or read regularly, and which one do you think is the best?

I pick-up an issue of Watch Time or Revolution now and then but am thinking of subscribing to one. Just trying to decide which one (if any). Thanks!

I've checked out WatchTime magazine every so often.

I'm disappointed that they don't do enough articles on Rolex models.

In fact, the February issue had an article about diving-watches. None of the Rolex models were listed.

I find they just don't do enough on Rolex.

Last year they issued a special issue all about Omega.

They also did one on Rolex earlier.

Please, spare me. Rolex gets waaaay more coverage then they deserve. So every issue should cover Rolex and the 100 other brands should get ignored because that's all you care about?

You obviously don't even read it enough to understand their philosophy. Just because Rolex makes a diver doesn't entitle it for inclusion, when every one of their divers typically has a full review or head-to-head comparison in the last two years at a minimum. The point is to review the maximum number of watches.

If you want to focus on Rolex alone why don't you just read the archives?

When did you read InSync last..?

Personally I'm waiting for the first issue of WatchJournal to come out.

I don't share your philosophy. To me it's Rolex, all day, all night.

As for reading the archives, sometimes it's nice having a glossy hard-copy to read/peruse at ones own leisure without always having to log onto the computer to read about a brand one likes.

I like International Watch from the bookstore but my (former) AD gives me copies of Chronos.
