As the seasons change, why not change your straps? We dove into why we change out our straps and keep up with fashion as we do this.
So many options out there on styles, textures and colors.

In this episode we discussed watches that have been Frankensteined. Meaning modified to such an extent that they are don't look like the original piece it started out to be. Should you buy these or not, or the better questions would be, would you do this to your watch?
