Any recommendations for watch utube channels?

I started watching Wristwatch Revival off and on several years ago. Other than that, I don't particularly go out of my way to watch any of the watch youtubers. There's something about youtube influencer culture I've never quite gelled with not limited to watches- between the irritating clickbaity tiles and some of the behaviors that seem to entertain people the most, ugh. of the Mainstream influencers Teddy Baldassare the one I find the most watchable, while Barker and the self titled "Watch Expert" (ugh) just downright irritate me most of the time. Many of the others fall somewhere in the middle, with many of them being simply news regurgitators, which I suppose there's nothing wrong with that if it's your thing, but I'd rather go to the source and form my own opinion if you're just going to put up a video with screen captures instead of an actual review of a real watch.

I've found some of the small, random videos thrown up by real enthusiasts where someone who doesn't really have a major youtube channel and has no desire to turn themselves into a brand, are the ones I find most informative. I guess listening to people talk about their watch, their experience, and what they like about it tends to do it for me.

As a general disclaimer, I really feel like the value of information contained within youtube videos has absolutely taken second seat just period across almost all categories to monetization, which means being memorable or entertaining, as opposed to informative.

EDIT: I do like videos with T. Mosso though, something about his voice.

There’s a channel called “Watches of Espionage”. Really cool take on watches with history in the service, for both the good guys and the bad guys. Worth a look for a different kind of content.
