It feels like the podcast and publication has lost touch. What was once enthusiast focused, has crossed over to something else. The production quality is good as ever, but the content is not for everyone.

I just got into watches about 6 months ago, and eventually found Hondinkee’s content. I didn’t listen to the “old” podcast format (so I can’t comment on that), but really dig the new format, and glad to see it’ll be a weekly podcast. The “what’s on your wrist” and “collecting advice” are good...Read full review »

Glad you’re back!

Lost its original touch and special voice. Now is just part of the hype train and have completely sold out. I hope they figure out how to engage again but keep losing good people and now have laid off many staff (again).

Not fun and entertaining like back in the day. Too much glamour and glitz.

I never felt the need to write a review until I heard pompous Ben Clymer talking about how “no one is as big of fan as X-brand as me” and how he single handedly saved watch journalism. Just got on with the show and talk about what you’re looking forward to in Watches and Wonders.

This Canuck is very happy to have James back on the air and love the classic format of the W&W 2023 preview show. I could listen to James, Ben & Danny talk watches all day. Looking forward to the daily update shows from Geneva.

Love the episodes with Jack Cole and Danny. Great humor and watch content. You guys have me laughing.

What was once a great podcast with Stephen at the helm has degraded into a boring discussion of uninteresting topics reminiscent of water cooler talk at an office. Get a new host, get some interesting guests (not just jack) and for the love of god talk about more interesting topics

Stephen, host of the podcast, highlights all aspects of vintage and modern wristwatches and more in this can’t miss podcast! The host and expert guests offer insightful advice and information that is helpful to anyone that listens!

Don’t get me wrong, Steven was a great host and I enjoyed the show occasionally. Now that James has taken over, the vibe is really different. He connects all the guests and you get a sense they’re all really enjoying it. It’s now a must-listen. Bravo.

Would benefit from some consistent segments, can be pretty rambling at times. But at least the watches are political nonsense has gone.

A loyal TGN listener, I stopped listening a few years back but was drawn right back in when James took over. Love the energy he brings. Keep up the good work!
Chris Siebenaler via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/13/21
James is great. Keep bringing Jack, John, Cole, Danny, and co. 3-4 of you talking is often the most effective. Thanks

The sycophantic luvvie that was SJP has gone and I can now start listening again. I like James but not sure if I will need this and the grey nato. As others have mentioned I hope all the corporate money hasn’t ruined all of HODINKEE.

High production, quality hosts and guests, everything the Hodinkee brand stands for.
aalexchu via Apple Podcasts · Hong Kong · 09/26/21
The first year or so was amazing, now the show seems very repetitive and I’m sensing a creeping political undertone which is grating. Still the show is at its strongest when the whole team is together after watch launches. Maybe they can get back to more of that.
MCobb95 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/22/21
Pompous out of touch and has become ads for themselves and their products Used to be really great honest watch reviews and inforrmstion, now they just hawk 7k hodinkee brand alarm clocks and put out articles promoting their items in the shop.
rickross183 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/25/21
Not sure why HODINKEE radio can’t just be the editors talking watches? I love hearing what the editors think. I have been following HODINKEE closely since 2009. The editors all have their own perspective and brand of taste which I will really enjoy! Seriously love them. When they talk together,...Read full review »

Despite some good content, Stevie P’s phumphering thru the podcast is just too much. “Aaahhhh” “like” over and over is just too much.
F-150 Rich NJ via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/08/21
Perhaps like many enthusiasts, we listen to the podcast on our commute. I am sure I am not the only one; I am also a father who loves to tune-in to Hodinkee Radio while the kids are in the backseats. Because let's be honest, you can only listen to veggie tales or baby sharks so many times...Read full review »

My favorite episodes are those with Hodinkee staff only. Interview episodes can be hit or miss, but it is nice when the guest is someone I’ve never heard of and I’m pleasantly surprised by how enjoyable the conversation is. I also really like the inside the industry discussions.

Good content but the host needs to stop saying "uuuhm" all the timeRead full review »
Jimmy Dollarez via Apple Podcasts · Sweden · 01/04/21
Absolutely love the podcast. Longtime reader of the site and listener of this program and the Gray NATO Podcast. I’d give it 5 stars, but sometimes the host delves into political topics that I don’t agree with (unnecessary anti-Trump bias). I’d just appreciate a more neutral stance from an...Read full review »
O. Young via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/04/21
Literally no episode without leftist agenda inserts. Next episode will be about Trump behind their travel clock success.
Vistula via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/30/20
The host seems more excited about talking about fashion and media than about watches themselves. Too many episodes are just interviews of fancy people. I don’t mind personality driven episodes, but I’d rather hear long interviews with watch collectors, designers, and makers than with other people...Read full review »

I have over the last few years become a huge watch fan, I must admit this is in most part due to the community that HODINKEE have created and fostered over the years, I look forward to each new podcast and the differing perspective that it gives on the subject 5 stars well done Steven and the...Read full review »
Rane2998 via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 10/26/20
Great content. Enjoyable, entertaining, and educational. However, the humility that existed initially seems to be dissipating over time and being replaced with a growing arrogance. The foul language... so unnecessary and truly diminishes the brand that HODINKEE has built over the past decade. I’m...Read full review »

I read Hodinkee and also enjoy the podcasts. They sure know their watches, Steven is an excellent host and interviewer, and their guests are uniformly interesting. This podcast and especially The Grey Nato are my two favorite podcasts.
Cedrik Z via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/14/20
Great show but I wish the presenter would stop talking about himself at every opportunity.
Popcult1997 via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 10/02/20
I learn about watches here and much more about the world because watch people are so diverse. If you haven’t already, listen to the episode with editor Joe Thompson.
Phightin via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/14/20
Having a variety of guests (from a variety of disciplines) is interesting, and it used to be perfectly balanced, but of late it seems the pendulum has swung far too far away from watches, and towards meta discussions on creativity, business, art etc to the detriment of discussions that are...Read full review »
Febs via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 09/04/20
Gents, The Pod is slipping - how about we talk about OR talk to guys and gals that are actually interested in watches AND we ask them about what they like and what is in their collection? I think HODINKEE is Swedish or Norwegian for wristwatch, not Photography or Cameras or people who are...Read full review »

Although you review more than vintage watch greatness, thank you for such a cool show! Thanks for the story telling especially the one about the Speedmaster and going to the moon! You really took me there again! A vintage watch enthusiast and restorer, thank you!
Sultanadrive via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/27/20
Thank you for always bringing joy to my weeks and having such fun guests!!! Nicole Stott is possibly my favorite episode and anything with Cara and Cole!!
sbcrider89 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/30/20
Thank you all for what you do. I so look forward to this podcast every week.

Second to none in American English language Up there in the top three in all forms of English language.
Beyercan via Apple Podcasts · France · 04/04/20
HODINKEE’s podcast is probably the best thing right after Talking Watches! Ive heard every episode every Monday without fail!
Gautameb via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/23/20
Loved this, gave me a few things to look at that I hadn’t stumbled across yet.
Harpischord via Apple Podcasts · New Zealand · 03/05/20
This was a fun and interesting episode. Having said that, someone please tell me where in March of 2020 they are offering an Explorer 14270 for $4000? Lol!
gabnic06 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/03/20
I am a watch lover, but even if I wasn’t, I think I’d get a lot of existential satisfaction out of these episodes. I love the episode with James Stacey. It really hit home with me.
awags25 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/18/20
The classical watch podcast.
sw3dge via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/25/20
Just listened to this end of decade round-up, and what an excellent review it was. A great mix of the accessible and affordable with the exotic and extravagant. Essential listening for anyone with an interest in watches, these guys know their stuff.
JRobertMM via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 01/23/20
HODINKEE’s decision to start this podcast was one of their greatest. The topics, guests, editing, and everything else about this podcast are all unique and top of the line. I am obsessed with this show and HODINKEE in general. As a young 21 year old who is becoming obsessed with watches, this...Read full review »
