Reply With QuoteOnly just recently discovered that they produce high quality videos, but Watchfinder's content is excellent. Very knowledgeable and high production values.
I started this obsession a few years back and watch several Youtube channels for reviews including:
The Urban Gentry
Federico talks watches
Andricos
and a certain foul mouthed Australian.
Are there any out there you subscribe to and would recommend?
What are your favourite formats, a dude talking to camera, a pair of anonymous hands groping your dream watch, or something more produced like the Hodinkee, Watchfinder stuff?

I normally reserve YouTube for videos from Fail Army but on occasion, I'll watch the Hodinkee ones.
Also, if you search for 'The Watch Hobbyist' that'll be Wayne, a member on here.

I'm along time subscriber of watchbox (formerly watchuwant) and the videos with Tim are outstanding. The others are a bit QVC but not bad overall.
Bachman and Scher aren't bad, if you don't mind German subtitles.
For a bit of levity, try The time teller.

I came across this channel recently. Not a massive amount of videos but nice short reviews.

Totally brilliant channel.
The Hodinkee vids are good, especially Talking Watches. You usually get some interesting people featured, and not just vapid celebrities. I quite enjoy some of the Watchfinder vids as they seem to spend a good amount of time with the watches BUT the hand acting is quite off putting (they record the audio first and the video gets chopped together to go with it)
I felt the same. Try Video Blocker (Firefox). Worked for me. No more of TGV/Archie gurning at you from the sidelines. I'm sure other options are available for particular browsers.
Another watch finder and watch box fan here Tim mosso is a wealth of knowledge. Newish channel I m liking is a British guy channel name bark&jack
I'd add Armand the watchguy. And Greataffordablewatches.
I like Urban Gentry as well. He's likeable though pretentious. Archieluxury is strangely compelling at times. He captures the madness of watch collecting.
Archie luxury, Paul Pluta!

The standard is pretty low. Largely because there's no real money to be made. So production values are generally poor and the general impression is of amateurs . The interesting exception is perhaps 'watchbox'...which used to be watchuwant. It's owned by a powerful family of American jewellers, Govberg, and they are clearly starting to take Youtube seriously. They can sense the sales possibilities.
Their leading presenter, Tim Mosso really knows his stuff. His level of knowledge is awesome. And best of all, they don't let Rolex stuff dominate.
+1 for Bark and Jack. He's still finding his feet but certainly enthusiastic.
Got to be Archie........the rest are dull as dishwater!

not a fan of anonymous hand videos. Cannot stand urban gentry!! Theo and harris have some good vintage stuff, bit ott sometimes though.
best has to be hodinkee overall, some of the talking watches episode are incredible!
OTOH you have to have a strong stomach to bear the Aussie's constant swearing and an irritating tendency to repeat himself semi-endlessly!
