My Watch Collection 2017 | Seiko, Hamilton, Casio, Citizen
About this video
McGoff showcases his current watch collection of five timepieces, explaining his criteria for building an intentional, versatile collection suited to smaller wrists. He reviews each watch from casual to formal occasions, discussing his preferences for size, value, and mechanical movements, while emphasizing that personal connection to a watch matters more than brand prestige or price.
Key takeaways
- McGoff prioritizes watches under 38mm to fit his wrist size of just under 6.5 inches, and he’s comfortable wearing vintage-sized watches like 34mm models
- McGoff seeks watches that offer quality materials and craftsmanship rather than designer labels or marketing hype, valuing genuine value over brand names
- McGoff prefers mechanical and automatic watches but acknowledges owning quartz pieces, and he believes personal meaning and enjoyment of a watch outweighs specifications, brand origin, or what others think
