EP63: The Most Important Watch Measurement is Not What You Think


Listen Later

Ever wondered how a 38mm watch could wear large? Or how a 46mm watch could feel more like a 42? This week, the boys are packing a pair of digital calipers to unpack an optical illusion and solve an age-old mystery on why size certainly matters, but perhaps not using the traditional watch measurements we're accustomed to seeing. We're also tapping in with new store arrivals, spooky movie picks, and lots more.

As always, you can reach the boys for questions and comments at [email protected]. Thanks for your support, and thanks for listening!
