Trust is a strong word 😂

·

I don't know enough about any of them to really judge their trustworthiness. But I enjoy Adrian and Teddy's videos for basic information and excellent views of watches.

·

I don't trust any of them more than the others, but I watch more Teddy videos because he covers watches I'm interested in. 

·

i like Teddy cuz I envy his hair…aside from that I trust no one 😤😁

also Frederilo eats his words like he has marbles in his mouth when he speaks and Adriana  all I hear is bak and jak…back and jak…back and jak…

·

i think i trust adrian more, because he likes two of my photo from my instagram 😂

·

I dont trust any of them when it comes to unbiased watch info I just look at the pretty macro

·

I have to agree that trust is perhaps too strong a word. I am not sure I trust any individual YouTuber doing watch reviews, especially any with their own store. I tend to watch and read a number of reviews if I have questions about a particular watch, and use the aggregated opinions to help me make a decision. Most of the time, I am watching YouTubers for entertainment and curiosity more than anything else. I have a hard time believing some one when they tell me the Bulova Hack is comparable to the Hamilton Khaki if they are selling the Hack in their store.

All the Youtubers are either selling watches, Accessories or shilling for a sponsor. Begging for comments, likes, subs, or patrion subs. There is a smattering of information but overall biased opinions. Some of the smaller ones actually don't do it for money and they are usually the genuine watch nerds.

Federico and Teddy seems to be biased towards what they have available at their stores. Bark&Jack is a little less biased.

But pretty much any youtube channel has its level of bias, there’s no such thing as neutral when it comes to watches. But that’s just my biased opinion 🤣

·

Yeah I’m going with Teddy even though he is an AD now.  His reviews still seem as fair as possible given the circumstances and he does have the separate channel specific to the watches he sells. I also do trust Federico. And I love his rants.  

·

I’m fine with all three.  I’m not sure it’s a matter of trust but I’ll watch their videos when they cover things of interest to me.

·

If you want a casual, review from a Yorkshire lad, Watch Andrew is good fun

·

Mr. Baldassare did a brilliant move by having Mr. O'Leary on so often. I mean I can't watch those because they're awful, but it's hard to call someone untrustworthy when they  have Mr. Wonderful as a foil.

All I know about this Bark guy is that he's a pretty boy with an accent I distrust that was called out by the irrefutable ArchieLuxury for his reversal on Broomont after they invited him to a party, er townhouse event.

Fedrico has tastes so distant and irrelevant to mine that it just doesn't matter, but he has interesting industry perspectives.

·

Adrian (Bark and Jack), Federico, WatchCrunch. Sorry Don't know WatchCrunch hosts first name. I don't trust Teddy. He seems like a shill, on the take, from Swatch Group, etc. 

·

I enjoy watching Nekkid Watchmaker, its more repairs and fun, than reviews.

I really only trust myself but on the other hand I'm wrong occasionally and sometimes change my mind so Im not certain on that.

I know Adrian personally and he is exactly like he is off screen as on and has followed through on every single thing he's said with me so for me that counts for something.

Teddy never really says anything of consequence so there's actually no need to trust him.

Fed is one of my favorite YouTubers but he also has a tendency to review watch buyers than watches which is a habit I really don't like.

I think tbh of the youtubers i watch i trust you, and also Evan from YoureTerrific the most.

This is harsh ! But I guess fair my friend

·

We all know it is Britt Pearce.  :-) Though, I think the Watchfinder guy wins. 

·

None of the above -- they're all trying to sell you something.

·

In my humble opinion, Federico is the only likable one.  Not a fan of Adrian at all, he comes off as very condescending and Teddy reminds me of a sales associate in Macy's trying to make a sale.   

·

The results of this pole are going to be more of a popularity contest rather than than who is the most trustworthy!

·

As some other said, trust might not be the right word. I still voted for Teddy. He has incredible knowledge, always an interesting video to watch. Frederico maybe knows his stuff but i struggle with listening to him. B&J... ups and downs. He posts rarely and the last videos haven't really been that great (in my opinion) 

My favorite youtuber ist youreterrific! Love his style ;) go check him out!

Adrian is a great resource and you should check out the new podcast that he is part of: About Effing Time 

Great groups of guys and a great listen.

·

Teddy B. He gives you pros & cons on watches that even he sell on his own site. Anyone that‘ll give you cons on things they hope to sell you is as forthcoming & transparent as can be...

·

It is answer D Jenni Elle

·

The one that isn't trying to sell you a watch from their store. 

·

Teddy was my first watch youtuber after Hodinkee - but to be completely honest, it was a thirst follow. The guy is fricken cute. Eventually, I appreciated his content more than his face. But similar to another comment above, I skip the ones with Kevin O'Leary.

I'm still new with Bark & Jack, and then I haven't seen Federico's vids yet.

·

I don’t have a ‘trust issue’ with any of these guys.  I chose Fed, mostly because I found his earlier videos (pre Del Ray) to be really informative and helpful.  They all have stuff they want to sell, and so I take anything they say with this in mind.

Nick Shabazz also does good videos as well.
