About WatchSmarts
WatchSmarts is the watch podcast for the rest of us.
❌ Not the hardcore watch flippers.
❌ Not the forum junkies debating reference numbers at 2am.
❌ Not the geeks who already own 77 watches and a loupe.
This is for smart, curious people who love watches… and want to love them more.
Every episode spotlights the people, stories, and ideas behind watches without turning it into a PhD seminar. You’ll hear from designers, collectors, YouTubers, brand insiders, and the occasional wild card… all translated into plain English.
Think of it as:
The shortcut to getting “in the know” without feeling dumb
The insider conversation you actually enjoy being part of
A smarter way to buy, wear, and appreciate watches
Because watches are cool.
They’re personal.
They’re tiny mechanical miracles.
And you shouldn’t need a secret agent decoder ring to enjoy them.
About David Newman
David Newman is your host, guide, and fellow watch enthusiast who’s still asking, “Wait… why is that watch such a big deal?”
By day, David is 4x bestselling business author, and host of The Selling Show, a global Top 1% podcast with 500+ episodes under his belt. He’s spent decades helping experts stand out, get noticed, and become the obvious choice in crowded markets.
By night (and weekends, and random Tuesday afternoons), he’s a watch guy.
Not a “know-every-reference-number” guy.
Not a “let me explain tourbillons in Latin” guy.
Just a smart, curious fan who fell down the rabbit hole… and decided to bring you along.
What makes David the perfect host for WatchSmarts?
✅ He asks the questions you’d ask.
✅ He challenges the stuff that doesn’t make sense.
✅ He keeps the conversation moving, fun, and refreshingly jargon-free.
And every once in a while, he’ll admit he bought a watch for completely irrational reasons… which, let’s be honest, is kind of the point.
The Bottom Line
You don’t need to be a watch expert to love watches.
You just need curiosity…
a little taste…
and maybe a slight weakness for shiny things.
