Most of the watch industry will really hate this video. But sometimes it's important to draw a line in the sand and clarify what you believe in, for the sake of helping others avoid making the same mistakes you've made in the past. Today's video is about a subject I like to cover every few years in keeping with new developments in the watch industry: top 10 watches to avoid. Join me as I take a look at some familiar and widespread watches and why you shouldn't buy them in 2024. And as we get closer to 2025, I also highlight some emerging trends and upcoming changes in the watch industry, from social media, toxic investment culture, problematic watch mechanics, deleterious buying habits, shady watch dealers, manufactured hype, questionable homage watches, and downright illegal counterfeiting, to why smartwatches are becoming possibly even dangerous to their wearers. Join me for a deep analysis of the not so good, the bad, and the very evil of the watch world. How do you feel about the current state of the watch industry? Please share in the comments.
