Ep 34 - Can a $900 Microbrand Beat Christopher Ward? (Makoto Boken Review)

<p>For the first time, we’re recording together in person! After 18 holes of golf, dinner and a couple of drinks, we sat down on the deck and did what we do best — talked watches.</p><p><br /></p><p>The big one this week is the <strong>Makoto Boken</strong>. Ryan from Makoto gave us a pretty bold challenge: put his Grade 5 titanium adventure watch up against our <strong>Christopher Ward C63 Sealander Extreme GMTs</strong> and tell him what we really think.</p><p><br /></p><p>Challenge accepted.</p><p><br /></p><p>After both spending some serious wrist time with the Boken, we talk about the incredible wearability, ridiculous lume, finishing, straps, what we’d change, and whether a watch at roughly half the price can actually hang with the Christopher Ward.</p><p><br /></p><p>We also get into new watches, getting the next generation hooked on watches, wrestling, the upcoming Toronto Timepiece Show and, as always, plenty of completely unnecessary detours.</p><p><br /></p><p>🏈 <strong>LAST CALL FOR OUR FREE NFL PICK ’EM POOL!</strong><br />We’ve got a <strong>Shipwrecked Watches Lost at Sea Ocean Blue</strong> up for grabs for the winner.
