We love watches; you love watches. Unfortunately, engaging with fellow watch lovers on social media has always been tricky. Between unapologetic braggers and dusty forums, it can be a daunting prospect trying to get an honest opinion and have a decent conversation using any of the outdated platforms around. Now though, a new platform has emerged called WatchCrunch, carving out a corner of the internet specifically for watch enthusiasts like the Oracle Time community.
It’s a place to communicate with fellow watch collectors across the globe, share opinions on the latest trends, showcase your new acquisitions and leave helpful watch reviews. You can expect lively and friendly debate on topics such as microbrand watch of the year, how to identify vintage watches and what watches you should be buying and selling right now.
WatchCrunch makes it easy to engage with their platform exactly how you want to. The “What Are You Wearing” thread is full of wristshots and photos of watches in the wild while the “News” tab features articles from all your favourite watch journals, including us! It’s a great way to keep an eye on the watch industry at large and stay on top of the most recent launches.
However, you don’t have to limit yourself to keyboard-based discussions, WatchCrunch has an area dedicated to organising real life watch meetups between watch fans. At the time of writing, there are events being planned in London, Vancouver and south California, showing a truly global community. All you have to do is sign up and you’ll be making new friends over a coffee and drinks in no time.
We look forward to sharing our articles through WatchCrunch and be sure to check it out for yourself. You could also delve into their 3-6-9 newsletter, which is a fun read.
