Reviews from Me –
Great for the watch lover!!
A nice way to stay current with the big and small names of various wrist watch manufacturers. No, it doesn’t cover all of the manufacturers, nor all of their reference numbers, but it does give you a good overview of many. Includes the usual big name brands and a lot of manufacturers that I had never heard of. Lists MSRP of most. Worth buying and I will definitely purchase again when the next issue arrives.

Wristwatch Annual 2020 Catalog
Excellent reference catalog from A to Z watch companies. If you want to really know whats trending and just learn about Movements, case sizes and functions this is a great resource. I’m amazed to learn that there are alot more watch companies than I ever realized, which provides an education to increase your choices. Prices are also listed which allows you to seek out companies within your budget.This is a great buy for over 300 pages of well versed info and excellent color photography. In short, it’s a Catalog of Producers ,Prices, Models & Specification from all over the world.

It doesn’t get old
This must be my 4th or 5th Wristwatch Annual. While majority of the brands are the same each year, the author takes time and effort to refresh the line-up and includes newer models that are released in the year before.I don’t spend time on every page, but I do find this to be a good resource for getting exposed to brands I am typically less interested or familiar. I recommend it to anyone who’s newly into watch collection or those who are serious.

Another great update.
The Kindle version is very well done. All watches are thumbnailed at the end, which is a great addiction. And all watches sorted by price.
