Fratello On Air: Myth-Busting Watch Influencers On Social Media
We’re back with another episode of Fratello On Air. This week, we’re in myth-busting mode. We’ve seen some silly things on social media, and it’s time to shed light on them. For our listeners, the watch content begins after 25 minutes.
On one hand, we’re pleased that so much watch-related content now exists. On the other, the flood of influencers brings a wide array of commentary. Social media is entertaining, but it’s also important to keep a clear head while consuming it. In this episode, we go on a myth-busting mission. Enjoy the ride!
Handgelenkskontrolle
We kick off our episode discussing sneakers and TV shows. Nike and New Balance have released some new models worth consideration. Balazs mentions The Madness, a series on Netflix. For the Handgelenkskontrolle, Mike is wearing his new Timex Ironman 8-Lap Gray Shades. It’s a model sold exclusively by Timex Japan and is relatively affordable. Balazs is wearing his tried-and-true Ming 17.09 on his favorite black rubber strap.
Myth-busting
We move on to our main topic and begin with one of the silliest claims we’ve heard on social media. Seemingly, it’s trendy to make provocative comments to help build a fan base. One influencer proclaimed that there are no underrated vintage watches left to discover. Hogwash, we say! Then, we discuss a recent video on salesperson etiquette at a watch boutique. Next, we tackle an influencer’s self-created fan Q&A. Finally, there’s some silly terminology running amok, geezer.
We hope you enjoy today’s episode. If you have ideas for future shows, please let us know!
