The WORST Watches of 2025

The WORST Watches of 2025

Author: Andrew Morgan February 4, 2026 Duration: 18:23

We’ve had the best watches of 2025, and there were some crackers this year, but also some brands have had the gall to crack out a handful of steamers to contrast them with, too. Let’s take a look at 2025’s most abhorrent additions—and remember, sometimes it’s not just the watch that maketh the stank, but the aroma of what’s going on around it as well. Let me explain.

Andrew Morgan, the original creator behind the Watchfinder YouTube channel and known online as "The Talking Hands," now brings his distinctive perspective to audio. Andrew Morgan Watches (For Your Ears Only) is the companion podcast for anyone who lives and breathes horology. Forget dry technical specs presented without personality; here, you get Andrew's unfiltered, often humorous take on everything from deep-dive reviews and expert panel reactions to curated top ten lists and industry commentary. He dissects the triumphs and the missteps across the watch world, whether the focus is on Swiss precision, German engineering, or Japanese innovation. The conversation is layered with inside jokes and memes that true enthusiasts will appreciate, creating a sense of community for those in the know. This isn't a narrated catalog-it's a curated audio experience built on decades of hands-on expertise. Tune in for a blend of serious analysis and lighthearted discussion that captures the passion, the craftsmanship, and the occasional absurdity of watch culture. Each episode of this podcast feels like pulling up a chair with a deeply knowledgeable friend who can explain why a particular movement matters just as easily as he can roast a poorly conceived design. If you’ve ever found yourself lost in the details of a dial or debating the merits of a manufacturer’s latest release, you’ll find a natural home here.
