WIFE REACTS TO MY WATCH COLLECTION 2023 

Hope I’ve not offended too many people and you enjoyed my comments! 💁🏼‍♀️

To me your wife's blunt comments have always been the highlight of your show. She's always so unfailingly spot on, she should definitely have her own channel - with her verbally abusing watches from the off.

The mix between the passionate thoughts of a watch enthusiast and the honest and dry comments of your wife is hilarious! Cheers and respect to that really cool wife for taking part in this project!

Absolutely bloody awesome. Love that transformer watch too. Keep up the good work Russ, looking forward to catching up with you soon. Chin chin fratello 🥂😎 T.

I love your wife’s reviews. Her simple honesty.😂 Definitely keep her a part of your future reviews!

Big ups to the misses. She cuts through the crap ..and sometimes the heart. Love her big time.

My boys love the "What the Wife Said" segment of your channel! They still ask to see the Skmei video and laugh every time! I will probably get that watch for Christmas but, I will cherish the memories of seeing them laugh everytime I look at it! 👍 🖖🇺🇦🙏

"What the wife said" is easily my favourite section in what is just as easily one of my favourite watch channels... Fun fun fun watch madness!! 🥰 Thanks for all the great content 🙏🏼

Loved seeing your wife's reaction and getting to know your favs. Authentic, fun and interesting stuff.

Fantastic, love your wife’s comments. Her opinions are valuable, and a reality check for watch ‘enthusiasts’. The design ethos of many watches don’t translate to real world aesthetics. Really appreciate her taking the time. Thanks.

Keep these videos coming! Probably one of the top three best watch youtubers out there definitely. Absolute joy to hear reviews from non-watch people as well, I started hanging out with and asking non-watch people about watches, and so far has proven to be much more insightful and enjoyable.

“Looks like a watch that’s been squished” 😂🤣😂

Another fantastic show MWC! Really enjoyed this tour around your watch box and it’s always fun to hear Mrs MWC’s thoughts 😂 It is actually really interesting to get an outside perspective on a watch, it’s so easy for us to get caught up in the minutiae of a particular watch we can’t see the wood for the trees 😂

Love it! "What the Wife Said" is def one of my favorite parts of a review! That Vertex is a "Stunna!" Another great video Russell!

Another tip-top video, Russ! I quite like your wife's reaction segments, whether she likes or dislikes them. She seems a keeper for sure. I appreciate you and your channel offerings. You are a gem of great value. Onwards and Upwards, my friend. Cheers!🙂👍

Gotta say this is by far one of the best watch channels out there, keep up the good work MWC!

Your wife's reactions are my favorite (tell her she's brilliant), and I loved the brief look at each of your favorites, followed by what she said (I like you reading the notes vs. forcing her to be on audio or video). I like the Arnie a lot for what it means/represents (and my buddy with one keeps telling me I need one), but it's definitely no beauty queen. That's okay, not all watches need to be. That Vertex is a beauty, and the Aqua Lion is temping. Those 3-D lumed numerals are dreamy. This was the perfect execution of a video. I recently showed my wife my watches for consideration for my big milestone birthday. The reaction was interesting. She didn't even have a comment on the Speedy Pro moon watch, and just sort of blankly stared even with the explanation. She asked questions about the Speedy '57 (blue), sneered at the blue Pelagos (that hurt), didn't even say a word at the new blue Breitling Super Ocean on bracelet, no real response to the BB58 black or blue, said I would have to grow a mustache for the BB S&G, Ranger was a bit boring to her, not much reaction to the BB Pro, and the Rolex Explorer II was pretty much shock over the price. Well, she was shocked overall at the costs because she's not a watch person. In the end, she had the most visceral/positive reaction to the BB GMT Pepsi (one of my top few anyway). The Omega Railmaster (black/gray dial), and Grand Seiko SBGE285 "Mist Flake" rounded out her top 3. When I told her the cost of the SBGE285, she said I might as well get a Rolex if I'm going to spend that much. Maybe that was permission? MWC, what does your wife think of the current black or polar Explorer II? That didn't make my wife's top 3, but I'm curious what yours thinks. Is it also an old man's watch?

Fun... you're wife's comments are often my favorite part of the videos. It will be fun to see if her tastes with the watches grows over time.

This is one of the best video yet Russ! I always look forward to your wife's reactions at the end of every video. Keep up the awesome work my friend!

Lmao only minutes in to it

Great show as per usual. Your wife's reactions are the best 😂 I can see why the Vertex is a favourite, the chunky lumed numerals are awesome! I gotta go watch that video now! :)

Loved the Vertex. Great show thank you & your wife. 👍😎

LOL I cracked up throughout this whole thing. Your wife is awesome. This was such a cool idea!

Hi I am new to watch collecting and my wife was not impressed 😮 I followed your guide to the letter on how to get approval from the wife ……. It bloody worked Ordered my 1st Squale 600 matic today ❤❤❤ Big thanks from Liverpool

6:16 Man, same. I know exactly how you feel. So incredibly blessed. Thanks for that honesty.

Love the show, and must say your wife’s comments are the best part. So relieved she likes the Vertex M100 as that is also the highlight of my collection.

How lovely to see you have several watches in your collection that are also my favourite watches. Also great to hear your wife's take on your choices. The squished bug Seiko is also a favourite. Squale watches are amazing, and I love the mesh bracelet. Sinn makes some wonderful watches, although getting up there in price, but always good for us eternal boys.😂 I am very relieved to see you have the 'Arnie'. Nothing much more to say about the 'Arnie' other than brilliant. No Rolex in my collection, yet. 😂 Thank you for the introduction to Vertex watches. I will have to look into them, as well as the CWC watches. Thank you very much for sharing your collection with us all. Your energy, time and humour are all very much appreciated, Sir, along with your wife's important input.

6:25 You mentioned how the Casio CA 53 reminded you of your happy childhood. After giving it some thought, I have to say that I couldn't agree with you more. I think that's how I got into watch collecting in general. Vintage (or vintage-esque) Casio watches reminded me of a great childhood with fantastic parents that loved & encouraged me in whatever I did. Love your content & don't ever stop doing what you do! Cheers!

Very entertaining video. TBH I love them all for different reasons. Particularly like the Vertex. This has really cheered me up watching this. ❤

Big thanks to your wife for providing very interesting comments. Very refreshing.

Your wife is a woman of great taste. Every of her comments are spot on !

So good. My wife was indifferent to watches some 25 years ago but is now well informed and hankers for a reverso. She also never liked my Explorer 39. She said it was “just so boring”. It was like a knife through the heart😩. I Love your top ten mostly….. I think im going to go for the blue dial Jlc Polaris. Im besotted with it!

Wifey has absolutely no chill! She's a roasting machine

My wife's four word reaction to every watch in my collection is, "How much? You're crazy!"

The Sinn kinda has a Lego-ish aesthetic, which makes it kinda fun-looking but still tough and durable 5:44 I swear I didn’t skip ahead haha

Loved this vid mate, your wife sounds just like mine! Brutal but so honest. I like your collection too, very good taste and your love for military style watches is apparent. CWC rocks man!

This brings back memories when I was first getting into watches many years ago. Me and the now former missus would pop into town and into the jewellers where she would look at rings and things and I'd be looking at the cheaper end watches (money was tight then, I guess it is now as well). I'd pick one and show her and usually I'd get the "I don't like it, but if you want it it's up to you", we'd walk out with (yet) another ring or something and no watch. But now if I like a watch and can justify it I just might get it after all it's me who'll be paying for it and wearing it. Top video TMWC.

Great video! Always look forward to your content!

Your wife has taste, the military vibe is spot on. Great show. My No1 would have been the Transformers watch 😄

Brilliant Russ. Your positive force is abounding, love it. You can see the TGV influence too. Loved your ghost busters shoutout.

What the wife said is one of the best parts of your shows mate and it’s one of your USP! A whole episode on her was well worth it. I should try it with mine but it would be too abusive to pulblish!

Wife thought the latest Explorer 1 was shouting too much. OMG she's an expert. Long live the 114270

I had one of those as a kid!! I forgot until you displayed it....freaking legend ...I want another!

Love the energy, love the stories, love that you got your missus involved in your insane hobby. Keep 'em coming!!!

I really enjoyed this show! Big thanks to you and your wife!

That vertex in the opening minute looked kinda cool. Never heard of them before. Buy the wife some flowers!

That transformer watch🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 I was also given a Casio calculator watch for my birthday when I first started secondary school wayyy back in 1982! It was the first digital watch I had that didn't break down 😂

Fun vid! Always great to get a non-watch fanatic's opinion to keep us grounded!

Brilliant review of your Watches Russ. I liked them all and am looking to add a Seiko to my collection.

On the person who critiqued the air king by saying "it looks like a car speedometer " was spot on but bc that's exactly what the design is. Sooooo yea, it is.

Pretty much spot on reviews by the wife to be honest. The comments on the Air-King was like reading my mind 😄

Yay to Mrs MWC. Absolutely great choice with the Vertex. Great collection

This is genuinely enjoyable and on top of it a view of your top ten!! Thanks for this. also. This is my dream watch collection lol.

This is a belter. I always enjoy the ‘What The Wife Said’ review. Many a true word spoken!

'Strapaholic' - I think I like this term over 'strap monster'. Love the Hubby/Wifey perspective!

Wow, your wife knows her stuff, especially regarding the rolex. She's wonderful!

Ha ha, the wife's opinions are my favorite part of the reviews. So this video was perfect!

I never thought Id hear someone refer to an explorer as "blingy" 😄

I really love dive watches, but the vertex is the highlight of your top ten. After I bought my Tudor Ranger I found a new love in this kind of simple but very functional watches.

She will be like “You spent how much?!” 😂 👏🏻

Totally agree with your wife's remarks on the Tissot and Rolex at the start. As a new comer to the world of watches, I've often been surprised by the gaudy designs and colours that are considered classics in this space

Absolute fun video, and your wife's reviews were terrific.

Nice one Russ! Loved it.

Loved this review. Great to get a straightforward no nonsense view on it. Gave me a giggle this morning.

I still have a Casio 306 AQ-307 that was gifted to me in 1992 for being a junior groomsman in a wedding. Still looks good and still works. I’m gonna give it to my son when he gets old enough. Can’t knock the Casios!

That was nice. I use my wife for watch choice confirmation as well. Now we share a few watches. A Direnzo Mondial purple dial and a Calvin Klein matt blue dial Swiss automatic. It's fun to share an appreciation of time pieces. Your videos are much my style.

Just Brilliant ! Loved this rundown from your Mrs 😂

Great review Russ & I love the comments of the wife 👏👏👏👍👍👍

mannnnn, this is a superb watch collection. There's a huge difference between a collection like this and one that is just made of the rarest, most luxurious watches made (boring). This is very interesting. Great video.

Y’know, I’m just gonna say it. Favourite watch channel.

It looks like a watch that has been squished. hahaha! love this. my wife didn't understand my watch obsession until I bought her a cartier. now she's into it. funny how that works.

Beautiful timepieces. On the top of the heap for me,my Hamilton Interstellar Pilot Day Date Cooper! Yes, sometimes we need to hear the straight dope from our better halves!

Funny, whatched this with my wife and as soon as the Sinn came on see said "it looks like Lego" 😂

4:45 lol, the spit spray at FFifty!

Very entertaining, caught myself cheering every time a watch was validated by Mrs MWC 😅 Now, I am going to go hide and cry after that GW M5610 comment

10 great watches, 10 great comments from the wife!

This video’s premise is amazing 😂 hilarious

Awesome video, as usual. I had a massive flash back to the transformer watch, as I had one when I was a whipper snapper. Where did your pal get it from?! I’m on to eBay now!

Best MWC video ever!

If you have the brown leather strap tudor makes for the bb58, try it on the willard. Because of how the lug holes are positioned, that watch needs a thicker/more bolstered strap. The tudor strap works incredibly.

Absolutely KNEW this was going to be a good one - loved it!! Wait if she gets to roast yer watches do you get to roast her shoe/bag collection is that how this works?! Only fair 😂 Something in me loves that we OBSESS over these things only to be torn down by a passing comment and we're sitting there with "wait don't you understand this is made of submarine steel" and my favourite "don't you understand this things historical/horological significance?!!!" lol ...anyways mate we need a support group after realizing some watches don't get all the girls 🤪 ...its tragic!

It’s so funny! My wife is the total opposite; she likes G-Shocks, even has one herself and her favourite out of my collection is the Speedy Broad Arrow:)

I love the CWC and the Vertex. They look awesome! Great video. Shout out to Mrs MWC!

Your wife is dead on! Especially with the Arnie, it is a giant stopwatch, but it’s a black Seiko with 200 m water resistance and that’s always cool

Fantastic collection! Many of these watches are on my wish list. As always, your wife has excellent tastes.

Divers always seem to be the best choices. The rotating bezel helps me daily with any tasks. Very useful memory aid. Wearing a Helm Miyako on their insane rubber strap right now and couldnt be happier.

Thanks to your wife for playing this watch game with us. My wife has the same views on watches.

Brilliant as usual keep them coming😁

Completely agree about the Squale. A Great car looks like it is going 200mph standing still. The Squale looks like it's emerging from the crystal waters of the Caribbean when sitting on a table. Great vid, thanks! 👍

Great and fun video my friend. Enjoyed it from beginning to end. Have to say, I agreed with your wife on a few. 😉👍

She has great taste the Vertex is my No1 choice too. Great collection and right up my street, 3 handers nothing too complex and easy to read. Nail on head hit HARD. Bingo even subscribed, perhaps I’m mad too. 🤪

Your honorable wife, although not into watches, she's got her own tastes and she's learning and understanding about your watches. (Best not tell her I said that Russell mate😂 )

I feel you could switch one diver for a nice dress watch. And the collection would be perfect.

8:16 ...The Seiko in the background :D

Such great enjoyment troughout the video! The "Apocalipse" watch will be at all times near by my side too!

Such a great video!!!! Loved it. Surprised she didn’t like the explorer tho.

Great video, and love that Vertex M100

You're a Brave Man, Russ🤭🤭🤭. Great job, as always! 👏👏👏

Great vid. I have my eye on the M100. Such a cracking watch. Now your wife has approved it, I have no excuse. 😅😂😅

CRITICAL question re: the Squale 1521. How does the World Bezeling Federation rate the figitability on that one?
