Lots of additional channel suggestions in the comments so check them out if you want to explore further. For watch channel owners , feel free to drop your channel name down there too if you think it’s relevant .
Let’s give Wristwatch Revival a shout out here. He’s top tear when it comes to watch repair. His videos are not only a joy to watch, but I have learned so much and keep learning every video.
Most recommended channel from the video that I didn’t watch so clearly I need to!
*tier, not tear
@@RockandrollNegro thank you
Your channel falls in highly underrated category. For the amount of effort you put in your videos you deserve at least a million subs.
Far too kind! I’m entirely happy with where I’m at anyway . Currently a super supportive and appreciative group of viewers and I suspect that starts to change when things get bigger
You've missed Red Dead Restoration. No talking, just subtitled and well edited watch repair.
Ah I haven’t watched them - watch restoration definitely something I need to get into more.
His stuff so so well made and what is so good is that he is just a hobbyist watchmaker like myself.
Agreed. But my restoration go to place usually is The Nekkid Watchmaker.
@@Daud76 He's cool too. He makes me want to get into watch repair and restoration. Recently, He made a wall clock with Mayan numbers that I'm planning on trying myself.
@@SomeGuyNamedTex I do not think I have seen that video. What makes me like The Nekkid Watchmaker is his humour and a real family man. Very down to earth and humble.
Urban Gentry has to be given huge credit here. He likely inspired so many other channels to start.
Yes sir. Right here. He deserves a lot of credit.
Oh totally . A huge inspiration for my channel obviously!
Lol, is Tristano el Douché still around?
Red dead restoration is also a good watch restoration channel. I love that it's silent and you can just enjoy seeing the process of restoring beautiful timepieces.
Yes lots of people mentioned them - I clearly need to watch more!
Appreciate the shout out! Wasn’t expecting that at all. Nice surprise. Nicely presented!! I like how you broke it down in categories.
Never in doubt !
Hey joe! Remember when you told borealis they “underestimate your influence in the community” when they declined sending you a free watch in their dm’s? One of my favorite bits of content from you. Cheers!
@@ichris2011 perhaps you missed all the news surrounding Borealis and their “free watch” scandal. I must say, my influence was a tad underestimated indeed. Glad you enjoyed! Cheers 🍻 😁👍
Great selection! Thanks for including me in there my friend! Up the humour that’s what I say!!;)
Love your recent video. I'm thinking TGV might be a bit jealous. Getting to ride the Delorean and KITT. Even seeing the Jurassic Park SUV.
Amen!
I hear the Time Bombardier offers an eclectic mix of vintage rarities, unobtanium rolexes and humble casios... 😅😅😅 keep up the good work dude 👍👍👍
Absolutely! Enjoy your channel! Thanks man - appreciate it.
There's some big names in there. Thank you for the shoutout, certainly unexpected, but definitely appreciated.
Categorising channels into groups was a cool touch too.
You were my first shout out ever when I was watch reactions. Of course you are in there!
…and yes I misspelt Tudor on your page. D’oh!
Great video and summary of all the channels you mentioned! Thanks for the shoutout!!
Of course! I watch most of your videos
@@IlluminatingWatches I really appreciate that! Means a lot!
Watch Lab did a good video about you...
@@syndicatedsatellite7288 Really when?
@@TheTownWatch 2 years ago...
You're my go-to guy for obscure digital watches. What a great video my dude, lots of good channels.
There's this video of a channel named Posy called "Segmented Displays", I'm 110% sure you'll enjoy it. It's an absolute masterclass in digital displays
I LOVE posys videos. That guy is so unique!! The segmented displays video is in my top ten videos on RUclips
Absolutely never thought I would have been on this list!
Many of your choices here I did not know of either.
I find your channel fascinating. The level of detail and knowledge you have is exemplary coupled with some very good editing. Even this video has a hint of honour with the hitchhikers guide snippets running through.
If I spend an hour (well 30 minutes on double speed ;) ) watching your video, you are making the list! Thankyou! Loved the story behind the Willard
@@IlluminatingWatches thank you. Yes the Willard was a real story teller. I have another similar with a Seiko lost in a tank engine!
Or making my dream Pogue from parts and aftermarket visuals.
I am soon attempting a video on my digital watch collection when I figure out the best way to present them to camera as I think it’s 30+ now
Now we are talking!!
Just a shout out for a small watch channel Tomas Watch Reviews. He's a nice, down to earth guy from Lithuania, who's focused on budget watches.
Also, Budget Watch Reviews - Citizen fan boy (as he calls himself) from the UK. He's one of rare people who often buys and reviews Chinese ultra-budget watches, so we don't have to.
Wristwatch revival maybe should've been added for the repair channel section. He's got a good following and an overall great presenter.
You are second person who has said that. I didn’t know them! Definitely need to look
Oh yeah, I got hooked on WR. I find him soothing (Not in a weird way) and very informative and easy to watch.
@@IlluminatingWatches make it three about that channel. He's watchmaking ASMR
@@TheDonCucaracho clearly need to add into my rotation of channels!!
💯 agree here. There definitely IS something soothing about Marshall and his channel, presents and speaks so well, and he clearly loves what he does.
This was a great idea for a video. Well done and very much appreciate the shout out. Thank you!
No other channel combines a trip to harrow/Uxbridge and watches - you had to be included !
Great video idea, I actually have a similar one in the works that’s on the back burner thanks to me getting distracted by my latest addition to the watch box (more on that later 😅) keep up the great work, looking forward to seeing more from you 👍
Thankyou! More videos on this the merrier. Always interesting to see the picks of other people!
One lane you missed are the watch modders. Some of the repair or review channels do it now and again but there are a few dedicated such as Lume Shot.
You are absolutely right. Yes it’s a whole genre I’ve totally missed.
I subscribe to nearly all those channels! Great to see the smaller channel friends mentioned too. Great collective presentation!
Your channel is one of the very best of this group. You asked us to mention channels you didn't. I can only think of one: the magnificent gshock highfashion, hosted by... an anonymous person. EDIT: I forgot! WATCHES TV! The title is all-caps, like that. Marc André Deschoux, the host, is a real Swiss high-horology insider. Gorgeous high-end watches galore, interviews with movers & shakers. Good stuff.
That is so kind of you thanks. Ah yes I love G-SHOCK high street fashion - totally forgot to mention them! I don’t know watches TV. I will check them out.
I started with Ben's Watch Club and then moved to the affordable+humour categories. Thanks for the history and design tips, I'll surely check them out!
And find a good job, because I'd like a Seiko Alpinist...and some nice small date diver...and a bronze piece...and a lume beast...and some dress piece...and a buttload of straps and some bracelets.
Sounds like you have similar taste to me!! Get saving!
@@IlluminatingWatches Thanks, I've already got a Timex Weekender chrono, a solar square G-shock, a sparkling Vostok and a Tisell Fauxplorer, so I have everything a bloke needs, now only to get my life in order so I know how much I can spend on stuff I don't need...
@@vaclav_fejt that’s the spirit! Ha ha!
I never knew there were so many channels, I recognise five or six of those. Nice idea with the 'Hitchhiker's guide' connection 👍
And there’s many more! It’s a big old universe!
Loved this! What a great list of amazing watch RUclipsrs (yourself included!) 👏👏👏👏
It’s a huge group - obviously many more than I’ve included here!
I really like carnagewatches, very cinematic and uses some good macro shots to get close to the watch, love his walkarounds at the end of every review too
Never watched! I’ll have to take a look
Thank you I needed this video
Watch RUclips is a surprisingly big world!!
Watch Nickolas is a good watch channel... Not Before Time is another good one... Also Watch Lab...
Never seen a review about watch channels. Interesting!
To be fair teddy Baldassarre and Andrew Morgan from watchfinder did some lists recently! Thanks for taking a look!
I think there is a room for the Just the watch channel, Dave is doing a wonderful job presenting affordable watches and also I would highlight the Brave beaters channel andPeter Kotsa, where the design elements are in focus, giving a more unique perspective to watches
Very nice additions. I do watch brave beaters who is great but the others are not ones I have frequented.
Just the Watch and Peter Kotsa are great review channels.
Watching at 2am and not sure where I am but did you mention Wei Koh of Revolution Watches? Awesome watching content
Ha ha well glad you are watching. I didn’t actually - but a few people have said so I clearly need to check out!
nick shabazz love his reviews when he covers watches, hilarious guy😂
Ah yes! EDC is a whole area I’ve missed!
thje good the bad and the ugly
THANK U. Perfect Video & a 1st of its kind, i thinks.😎🙏🙏🙏
Teddy Baldassarre and Andrew Morgan did list videos. The first hitchhikers guide though! Thanks!
@@IlluminatingWatches URs had way more work PUT in it,& Way More FUN. 😎🙏
love how you put them as trading cards! Ah man... I cant believe someone actually googled it LOL... I love that you have Wes's Watch room and Simucom Reviews that also reviews some interesting pieces. You missed the absolute gem that is Aviv from My Affordable watch Collection as well! All of them do superb work.
I’ll definitely check them out! So many channels!! Yes I’m an idiot for googling
@@IlluminatingWatches I dont think you are an idiot, just very innocent and you problably did it to check out some cool unique blue dial...😅
@@johanvandersandt8904 or I’m just easily influenced!
Great list of channels!! Glad to see you had WatchChris and Elizabeth Grant on there Here are few suggestions…
1) Watch mechanics: Chronoglide Watchmakers. 2) Smart watches: Flossy Carter.
3) Fitness watches: Desfit.
4) Affordable watches: Just the Watch.
5) Ashley Tee. Small channel but her watch sensibilities are great. Hope it gets bigger.
6) About effing time
Niiiiice! Thanks for the other additions and glad I got a couple of your favs
HELLO FRIEND IN TIME AND MERRY CHRISTMAS ! . I DIDN'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT YOU FOR A LONG TIME . I WISH YOU A GOOD ENTRY TO THE NEW YEAR, AND I STILL FIND YOUR CHANNEL VERY INTERESTING, AS WELL ENTERTAINING . ALL THE BEST AND A STRONG HUG.
TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF !
🎅❄️😊👍🏻🙋🏻♂️✨🌲❄️🎅
I think you missed the watch geek and chronoglide watch channel. The watch repair channel is great as well along with Richard Perrett.
I know watch geek but didn’t know of chronoglide. I’ll take a look!
unwind time vintage watch museum is another, just a ton of short previews of old watches with many being digital
Some new channels to check out nice one Gordon! I always watch your videos as soon as they are available usually.
That TickSweep channel is pretty chilled quite new though so more to come!!! 😂😅
I owe you a separate shout out sir! Thankyou!!!
@@IlluminatingWatches me and my Cheeky plug. 😬
IDGuy always has a place in my heart ❤️
Love him so much
He’s in there. I’ve found it so confusing connecting the voice to the face though!!
This is a great starting point for people who want to know more about watches!
I religiously watch Just One More Watch, Random Rob, TGV and WatchGringa.
And recently I have gotten into The Watch Idiot's videos!
Much love from Germany
I somehow hadn’t come across the watch idiot. I will check them out. So many channels! Thankyou!
watches tv is a good one focusing on niche watches
Watch Geek rocks -- the go to for Casio module tutorials (and unbridled enthusiasm with his spinnaker Piccard gen 1 review!)
Ah yes - I do actually subscribe but for some reason haven’t watched loads. I loved his history of the g-shock
I miss Mister Rangeman. He has taken an extended and possibly permanent leave of absence.
Yes indeed. He was so kind to shout me out early on and has such innovative video ideas. Been focusing on other priorities I think. These RUclips videos take a lot of time - especially if you add in proper videos rather than my slideshow mode!
Great stuff, coupla channels I didn't have on the old gaydar, thanks. Didn't get notified yet btw
Damn RUclips! Hope you found some good ones
Did I miss Casio Mogul Greg Anderson and Just The Watch?
Oh, and Marshall at Wristwatch Revival!
I didn’t know about casio mogul. I actually had Greg Anderson in their on an earlier version but wanted the numbers to add up to 54 :D . He’s great!
@@Beechhill don’t know them either! I’ll take a look
@@IlluminatingWatches There's a Casio Mogul? I just used it to describe Greg! 🤣🤣🤣
@@Beechhill ah ha ha thought I would have come across someone called casio mogul!! Good channel name ha ha. Yes Greg is great
Lester William Polsfuss approved! By the way, Horace Walpole once told me he pronounced Teddy's last name as Baldassarr&. But who knows? He was such a snob!
Ha ha I’m not sure. He can do a great video when he puts his mind to it though. Smart guy
Teddy that is ( not Horatio - I’m unsure as to his video qualities in the 1700s!)
@@IlluminatingWatches Saw Horace doing a review of a goose feather in front of a camera obscura. Earned him 4 subscribers.
@@IlluminatingWatches No sorry. 4 dislikes.
Digital watches for small wrists video when
for a good focus on watch history, i like wonders of watchdom. that guy knows his stuff.
Didn’t know about them! I’ll definitely check them out as I love watch history
36 inch 80s watch?? Like those swatches you hang on the wall?
Ha ha whoops should have said mm:) I do like those swatches though!
The Time Teller is a pretentious watch snob. You turned me onto a lot of new (To me) watch channels to check out. The only watch channel I watch religiously is Just One More Watch and Ben's Watch Club. And I'm now into your channel after watching the history of Indian watches.
Whoops I thought you said timeless watch channel. He has a different take to others - at least he’s different! Really glad I’ve given you some new leads
Time Teller is the only watch channel I've asked RUclips to stop recommending to me. Pretentious, campy (in a bad way), and a little bit disingenuous (especially around pushing his vintage watch business).
@@SheshankReddyS he’s definitely divisive! There is so much variety in watch RUclips that there is something for everyone though
He's much worse than just pretentious; he's a wannabe Proud Boy 4 chan Joe Rogan fan edgelord.
You haven't already, I also recommend "I like watches".
Red Dead Restoration. That is all.
Loads of people said the same. Clearly I need to check out !
Fantastic video! I found myself pausing it multiple times and opening new tabs wondering (again) if I should google "blue waffle"... but also checking out quite a few new channels, namely Killing Time w Norman and Pete McConvill. Love your editing and graphics, and the use of HHGTG clips 🤣
Thanks man! Norman is a cool dude. Pete was previously called not so obvious watch reviews , so you may have seen that. I love to shoehorn in a theme !
