First and foremost, Rick admits to losing track of Ryan Reynolds. The team talks about recent movies and tries to figure out whether some watches they've seen on TV and in movies were paid placements or not, discuss the financial realities of owning a large watch brand, and heap criticism on the idea of buying vintage watches while praising the brands that are choosing to service them. Then, Ariel insists we stop being cute and calling complicated watches "smartwatches" and the gang identifies the modern uses for chronographs.
