nice connection to the important people in the industry and he is somehow authentic. he is not in the position to discuss pieces honestly though - so still not even close to the forums we all love, this one in particular. And this is the main problem with all those channels. They get new pieces as long as the industry or an ad think it will boost their sales.

Have any of you watched any of the YouTube watch videos by Jenni Elle? Just watched a couple, she seems pretty knowledgeable and is refreshing, compared to some of the other videos I have seen.

Not a fan of her

 
 By: Weems@8 : May 20th, 2021-17:32
Why? She was bashing JLC with nonsense. Sometimes i watch a video of watch finder and uptickwatches.

I agree. Her knowledge is fairly limited.

 
 By: watchme : May 20th, 2021-19:18
She has some interesting videos, but seems to be bent more on publicly perceived "hot" brands, rather than true horological wizardry. -Dean

Interesting subject

 
 By: Weems@8 : May 20th, 2021-19:47
Horological wizardry. How we here are interested in the technical aspect of watches. Complications and movement finish. Discussing and loving a 500000 dollar watch, and discussing and loving an under 500 dollar watch in one breath. This subject fits so we... 

the likes of jenni elle and archie luxury can get old fast

the yt channel i find a hoot to watch is ben's watch club. too bad the coverage is strictly in the 'affordable' segment

Archie Luxury gets old to me

 
 By: Thomas_3 : May 20th, 2021-20:54
before I even start the video.

i laughed out loud the first time i watched an archie luxury video...

 
 By: jiggerly-cool : May 21st, 2021-05:31
but after that, i'd had enough (it was just more of the same, no longer funny). in contrast, i tried 3 random jenni elle videos, could not finish any. won't bother any more (nothing new to learn, not funny) and i wonder why i even tried

I like her content, and enjoy her method of delivery.

 
 By: Lankysudanese : May 20th, 2021-19:07
She picked up fans at a very rapid pace. More power to her. Other ones are Swiss watch gang, bark and jack, and a few others

I quite like her!

 
 By: Spencer Karrington : May 20th, 2021-19:17
I like how comprehensive she research the watches and her videos are well down! I mean, watchestv to me is the pinnicle of youtube watch videos but her videos are excellent and it is nice to see a women in a male dominated industry! She also went to the s... 

Perhaps people like her automatically since it's so rare to see a female face in a heavily male dominated hobby...

Whiskey companies often specifically target female ambassadors. And Marlene Dietrich was a major star in her day partially due to her very masculine style of acting.

Perhaps!

 
 By: Spencer Karrington : May 21st, 2021-10:43
and i can definitely dig that! I also did not know how much hate there was about her or I would not have made a comment :p She also specializes in the bigger brands with little to no coverage of smaller brands (will say her video on Ulysses Nardin erotica... 

im surprised how positive the comments here are. I remember she was discussed extensively a few months ago and the general word was that her style is pretty dumb.

 
 By: Reuven Malter : May 20th, 2021-19:43
Jlc has a SERIOUS problem /// watch this BEFORE buying the new.... /// is Xy better then rolex.../// .... ROLEX...///. ..r-o-l-e-x!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! /// so tired of this clickbait.

I think she knows nothing about watches

 
 By: Weems@8 : May 20th, 2021-19:52
But there are more channels which are bad watch channels. If it can be called watch channels.

šŸ™ thanks.

 
 By: Reuven Malter : May 20th, 2021-19:55

My real pleasure.

 
 By: amanico : May 20th, 2021-19:57

Agree... Her videos are drawn out and quite useless... I use youtube primarily to get an idea how a watch wears...

 
 By: trs : May 20th, 2021-20:33
and for that purpose Tim Mosso's sales pitches are quite are helpful as my wrist size is just a little larger than his.

+1!

The sad thing Amanico... it's called "fake it until you make it."

 
 By: patrick_y : May 20th, 2021-21:52
The sad thing is that one of the brands will have a really bad PR department with PR people who don't know watches. Those PR people won't know she's inaccurate and they will court her, invite her, educate her, and hopefully weaponize her for their brand. ... 

It's happened before. I'm not imagining things...

 
 By: patrick_y : May 21st, 2021-01:06
Those people were invited to factory tours etc. Some have gotten better and have started to disperse better information. Some have gotten worse, and they still disperse the same incorrect, or worse, they become pawns of the PR department and start telling... 

A lost case, I agree.

I can witness that.

Have yall seen "Watches on you"? He is the very best!

 
 By: Reuven Malter : May 21st, 2021-07:54
He makes like two factual errors per minute. Never seen this before. And he often seems to scratch the pieces the jeweller gives him (see for both opinions the Yacht Master 40 video). But one thing though: His videos make the watches always look very nice... 

Thank goodness I didn't see that one...

 
 By: patrick_y : May 21st, 2021-01:03
I wanted to write a letter to Jenni Elle asking if she could refund the time I wasted while watching her JLC Serious Problem video that I'd take the refund!

She's awful in my opinion.

 
 By: patrick_y : May 20th, 2021-21:44
Very superficial and extremely weak/basic analysis. Especially weak when she wants to come up with a list of several reasons, half of her reasons are extremely weak and a waste of time. But she's got an audience. I'd say her videos are intended for a very... 

We have to change that bit by bit

They're on the right path!

 
 By: patrick_y : May 21st, 2021-03:17
ALS really does make an amazing watch.

If it comes to that

 
 By: rnaden : May 21st, 2021-14:06
Iā€™ll just pass some of what I have to the next generation ;-)

I agree, watches.tv I would view somewhat regularly although Iā€™ve not paid for content.

And I find his personality / style engaging.

Agreed! one of myfav channel!

 
 By: Spencer Karrington : May 21st, 2021-18:39

Most of the time i tune out the personalities and just focus on the watches as video can be a step closer to reality..

 
 By: Echi : May 21st, 2021-04:08
In this regard, watch advisor can be really helpful (like their presentation on the Omega speedy sedna gold) although I wish he had a bigger wrist to approximate mine. I also liked their presentation on the new Omega SM300s as I was particularly intereste... 

Fairly standard content, but well produced

Caseback Watches is a nice channel.

 
 By: Overwound : May 21st, 2021-17:10
Mostly affordable and mid-range watches that receive the host's honest opinions. It's a casual show with no sponsorships or anything to get in the way. Mondays are for brief opinion/review of new watches and Fridays for vintage and new models. He also pla... 

Very nice! The wallet looks great, enjoy! IDGuy is a new one to me. I'll check it out later today.

 
 By: Overwound : May 30th, 2021-14:01
WatchArtSci is another good one. It's been a while since watching because for some reason I didn't have him saved in my list of channels. Thanks for the reminder!
