Episode 38: The Wristies Cast James Bond and The Watches They Would Wear - Plus New York Watch Week Recap and Wrist Candy
2026/10/29
If you could choose the next actor to play James Bond on the silver screen and carry the franchise forward, who would it be, and, perhaps more importantly, what would they be wearing on the wrist?! The Wristies give their top three choices and the watches they'd select. PLUS the return of Wrist Candy. AND a heartfelt thank you to our listeners for being upfront and cordial in their feelings and communications. It means a lot to us that you take the time to listen; know that we are listening to you, too.

Episode 35: The Wristies Swap Wrist Sizes and Choose Six Watch Collections, PLUS Christopher Ward, Gallet, AND IMAN'S NEW PLAY!
2026/09/17
This week, the Wristies pull the ole switcheroo and do a Wristy Wrist Swap. Iman has to choose a six-watch collection as if she had Chris's 7.6in/19.3cm wrist, and Chris has to choose a six-watch collection as if he had Iman's 5.5in/14cm wrist. What do you think of the collections we chose?
PLUS at a Watch Crimes segment where Iman goes banana pancakes on Gallet for omitting a commonly used city on a world timer; and Chris goes full cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs over the reductive mindset of the watch world's Voldemort.

We both believe in therapy as a helpful tool for anyone. But here are some helpful resources.

2026/07/09
The Wristies get back to basics. No guests. No fluff. Just catching up on some of our favorite new watches, a couple of not-so-favorites, and some initial thoughts on the former AP CEO’s new brand.
***CORRECTION*** In this episode, we mention a collaboration between Venezianico and IFLW. We mistakenly attribute the work to the Dial Artist (Chris Alexander), and we have been informed that he has not worked with IFLW for quite some time. We apologize for the mix-up, but stand by the opinions on the watch itself. If you want to check out some of the great work the Dial Artist has been doing, check out the new Christopher Ward Twelve Xander HERE!***

Episode 28: Special Guest, Frank (Chris's Brother), Joins The Wristies - Talks Timex to Rolex and Everything in Between
2026/06/11
Chris's brother, Frank, is the person responsible for getting Chris properly into watches. Although Frank has stayed outside the global and online watch community, preferring to enjoy the hobby on his own. Iman and Chris ask him the important questions! How has that impacted his hobby? What watches are appealing? And what's it like not to be bombarded with watch posts on Instagram?!
**DISCLAIMER** Frank and Chris sound almost exactly alike and can even control each other's phones with their voices... so prepare to be confused.
