Love 'N Watches

Ok just kidding, no movie reviews, although we MIGHT just throw in our opinion of some of the newer Star Wars releases at the very end of today's show.

PG has done a bunch of research and digging to bring you the history and background of the moon phase complication. Only fitting for the topic we're both wearing our newly acquired moon phase watches. PG has her Frederique Constant Slimline Moonphase and RR is sporting his new Glycine Combat Classic Moonphase that he recently grabbed on Massdrop.

We also FINALLY announce our inaugural Love 'N Watches regram contest winner, talk about a fun event coming up hosted by Redbar Sacramento, and throw our two cents in on Seiko's recently announced Alpinist reissue.

Hope you all enjoy the show. Don't forget to follow us on Instagram at @lovenwatches, and check out our new YouTube channel as well.

For this week's episode Perpetual Girl is giving all you guys out there some Valentine's Day gift ideas for your wives or girlfriends. This time it's all about bundles. In other words, bundle a cool watch with something else your lady might care about like a handbag or maybe a scarf. We hope PG's suggestions help ease the stress that can inevitably come with holiday gift shopping. Check out lovenwatches.com for photos, prices, and links for all of the items discussed on the show.

We also go in depth (no pun intended) on watch water resistance ratings and what the ISO 6425 dive watch standard really means. Hopefully the info will help you avoid any water damage catastrophes in the future. We hope you all enjoy the show, and don't forget to give us a rating and review on iTunes and follow us on Instagram. And remember, tagging @lovenwatches and using the #lovenwatches hashtag gives you the opportunity to win something cool!

After our trip to Vegas we thought this would be a good time to talk about the watch buying experience. Does a bad experience turn you off from buying a watch that you really want? And does a good experience lead you to buy a watch you may not have even considered? We'll tell you our thoughts and the results of our Vegas watch shopping.
