I saw a few minutes of one podcast and that was enough for me.
Not a massive fan, no.
Watched the first couple and could stand no more. I like Adrian, but it is really hard to stomach the other two in long format.
I just moved on and said to myself never again! Blah blah blah blah
Hey enjoy your watch and yes,
Cheers! Lol
I like the show myself.
I've seen a few episodes. I have to say I like watching it better than just listening to it. And there are some themed episodes I enjoy more than others.
I like it. They had a fun ”event” on their last podcast where they had to find the definitive dive watch at $1000, $5000, and $10000.
Very swiss loving and George is too brand partner and self promoting. That gets a little annoying.
$100k watches are NDB for them and they sometimes seem to suddenly realize they may sound too superrich and out of touch with us regular poors who watch.
So generally insufferable, but episodes are worth skipping around to glean the highlights. Adrian seems most friendly and relatable despite his boringness. My $0.02
@Adam6498 what are your thoughts?
I listened to the first couple of episodes but they do sound very obnoxious most of the time. Adrian is somewhat OK. I think this is a podcast mostly for the wealthy bros...

They also got that very hyper "lookweareentertainingmuch" vibe + Plus lookhowcoolgoodfriendswearebecausewemockeachother thing....
It’s interesting, sometimes, but it’s trying too hard to emulate the dynamic of Top Gear. Anyway, my biggest issue with it is that I’m not a fan of George Bamford. The Bamford family own JCB and has a long history of political chicanery, especially funding Brexit. George’s own political connections were hinted at in the last episode when Andrew held a phone to his ear and pretended to be George speaking with Boris Johnson. George comes across as an entitled brat most of the time. You see that in Adrian’s periodic exasperation with him. I’ll continue to watch the show but you’ll never see me buying a Bamford watch.
I like that they've tried to do something different. Shame Adrian couldn't have just done that on his, maybe with different guests each week.
I watch it regularly, though I find it a little irritating sometimes. I am waiting for the right moment to leave a comment about what a good Top Gear homage it is, and I think the latest episode might be the one. It is very much rich boys and their toys though, and unlike the actual May, Clarkson and Hammond, there’s really no hiding that.
A bit too tryhard at times. Not my cup of tea.

Yeah, nail on head. Some of his comments clearly show he is very detached from the real world. Constantly pushing Tag, G Shock and his own watches as well which gets tiresome.
The irony is I quite like the DW-6900BWD apart from Bamford on the strap. For a watch geek to like Tag as much as he does is also weird. Maybe he’s mirroring Clarkson’s nonsensical devotion to Alfa Romeo? He’s clearly a Jezza wannabe. Adrian‘s character is like the cerebral ‘Captain Slow’ and Andrew is the cheeky Hammond. The watchmaker is a blatant copy of the Stig. Whatever. It's still watchable and makes me laugh from time to time, much like Top Gear.
Yeah 100%. Rich boy with vast sums of money allowing him to turn a hobby into a career, Im jealous really!
I did like the Frogman the other day though, cool G shock.
