Which videos do you like to watch?

All 4 are great, of course, but I'm usually interested in some of the lesser known facts, histories & quarks of most pieces & for that reason, reviews usually take up most of my time.  

Too many "reviews" are paid shills. Either free watches or $

There are exceptions, of course. 
 

Enjoy discussion and compassion videos the most. 

Watch repair if I'm being totally truthful. 

I love the money shot when they put the balance wheel back in and it starts up again. It's a spiritual thing for me. 

I voted comparison videos, even though I’d prefer review videos.  The problem with review videos is that the manufacturer usually provides the watch, and I rarely see a negative review.  The correlation is as obvious as it is compelling to believe that there are probably no truly objective reviews on YouTube.  The reviewers depend on the brands for access to watches to make video content.  Negative reviews would probably stop the flow of watches to reviewers, and it’s foolish to assume they don’t know this.  Thus we have almost no negative reviews, and every reason to consider the reviews offered are influenced and thus questionable.

Therefore, comparison videos have more inherent value because at least some objective information can be assessed.  Specifically, a comparison video will put two competing products side by side, highlighting differences and assisting a serious buyer to see the product differences.

I tend to avoid listicles and other clickbait, so Top Ten is at the bottom for me. 

I guess I'll say Watch Related Discussion as that gets more forest than the trees. Reading some boilerplate specs and telling me how a watch I can see looks is the average review, which is a snoozefest unless the reviewer is particularly insightful.

I find lists and comparisons silly normally, but comparisons are the silliest in my view. 

Pretty much every comparison video I've seen essentially boils down to the subjective categories deciding the winner. Things like dial, "heritage"/brand, etc...

I recall watching one video where the reviewer called out the sloppy bezel on an Oris Aquis, then goes on to declare it the winner because the bezel "feels" better... So, essentially "I like the Aquis more, so it's winner". 

Also, pretty much any comparison involving a Seiko or Casio will result in a win for the Seiko or Casio, because they know it fires up the fanboys, and get clicks/views. 

Unfortunately, no FailArmy watch videos...so I'll have to settle for Watch Reviews...

But I'd really prefer Russian car crashes 😉

Most reviews smell of marketing bias, but there are still honest reviews every now and then. Usually from smaller/personal channels. They have helped dispel some watch hype for me.

Like this one that shows the problems of the Oris Caliber 400:

And this one showing what Grand Seiko's zaratsu polishing looks like after 15 years:

I voted reviews but comparison videos and watch discussion is also very interesting I also watch repair videos of usually older vintage pieces.

I am more interested in reviews but voted for comparisons, because the latter force the reviewer to actually look at the pros and cons of watches. Many reviews tend to be overly positive, especially luxury watches and microbrands. There is a German proverb that translates as "whose bread I eat whose song I sing", and while that does entirely pre-empt the review I can often sense a certain bias. Even biased reviews still give a good look of the watch which is not computer-rendered or photographed beyond recognition by some camera wizard.
