What makes a watch worthy of being part of your Everyday Carry?
In Episode 041 of EDC-TV, Grant Lamontagne is joined once again by special guest John "Kirky" Kirkwood for a wide-ranging conversation about the watches that earn a permanent place on your wrist. From rugged Casio G-Shocks and affordable field watches to Seikos, Swatches, smartwatches, and everything in between, they explore what really matters in an EDC watch.
This week’s episode is a special one, not just because of the topic (which is definitely a good one!), but because of the guest.
