Most of them are entertainers/counting viewers on YT and not much knowledge on watches.

No wonder most of them mentioned above are grey dealers :) Its a bad start to know about watches from the grey dealers.

Really? I find them mind numbing boring.. Just some blokes rambling on.

in no particular order
1 PM, knows a 'bit' about watches (more than he lets on as he does occasionally slip in model numbers ) and enjoys them. Not an expert but doesn't pretend to be. Remember this isn't his 'job' it's his hobby. Enjoy the house vids too.
2 Adrian. B&J. genuinely nice guy. Doesn't lust over megga buck models or follow the herd. Enjoyable and always watchable.
3 Timeteller. Takes a bit of getting used to. but rarely do I remember what he's reviewing though..
4 Watchfinder. A real quality professional broadcaster. High production values Highly intelligent well researched and presented. A winning formula. Quality.
5 Tim Mosso and watchbox. a true indepth review. I sometimes wonder if his 'love' of the watch being reviewed is genuine
6 guy from Cleveland (or philly??) Just a great listen enjoyable to hear his weekly roundup.
7 P Thorpe. You may not like him (I do) but you can't deny he has a wealth of watch dealing. South London boy so we share a common heritage.
8 Teddy. Genuine and a nice guy. well balance neutral reviews .
9 The pontiff. lots of fun just don't take him too seriously.
10 elle watches from a female perspective watched early on but unsub'ed.
11 watchguys.tv nice guy genuine and interesting. Actually made me buy one of the watches he was reviewing
12 swisswatchgang. Quality reviews. The under the microscope video was brilliant.
13 not so obvious watches. Super guy, intelligent and thoughtful. Doesn't get hooked up on hype and gives extremely interesting insights to the industry
Not for me
1 watch gringa. err not my cup of tea.
2 Nico too much shouty shouty stuff gets very boring very very very quickly
3 The Timeless Watch Channel bit too dour and I keep wanting to say "Get on with it" within a few minutes. Probably a nice guy but just seems moody and hard work
4 TPG was watching early on but the documentary mundane type bores me
5, Roman ^ see 4
6 7 CRM bunch of ... see no/1

not sure
1 lux report.. got a bit too het up and bitter about TPG. Hmm

Mosso overviews are the best because you get all the info.

My favorite is Alexander from watch advisor. He has real content with the makers of Swiss watches.

interesting that you say mind numbingly boring while your entire list is full youtubers who are strictly reviewing watches. i personally feel like that will get boring for most because there's only so many watches and they don't change on a yearly basis. i'll watch some reviews just to see the watch i like in a video but this isn't tech and i don't need someone to list me everything about the model and compare it to another to influence me to buy it because no watch is better than the other. it's all about what you like aesthetically. this is why, to me, a lot of the lifestyle ones are much better because it's a mix of talking watches with clients or whatever and partying/traveling/cars/luxury lifestyle, etc. also how do you go from 1-13 back to 1? lol

4 blokes just rambling on with little to say with long pauses is boring (to me at least) even with youtubers I usually watch I tend to avoid their live streams. I watch PT and PM and enjoy both yet the interview between them was very meh (IMHO)

individual youtubers; I am interested is all watches. Even those I wouldn't consider buying. Watchfinder and several others listed bring in makes I've never heard of and/or models from known makers I'm unaware of.

because it was a new catagory 'unsure'

I heard his girlfriend ran off with half his watch collection, so of course it has left a rather sour taste.

Understandable on both counts. I'm a musician as well. Well, actually a bass player. Pardon my ignorance, but what band did he play with?

If I really want to geek out and actually learn about a watch, no one does it better than Tim Mosso IMHO
I do find many of his non watch content interesting, especially when discussing different locales around the world. The personal info, not so much.

Not overly familiar with the band itself, but I believe he played bass. They were an Irish band who were fairly popular in Italy which explains why he currently resides there.
