Been buying car magazines for 40 years, can anyone recommend a watch mag worth reading?

There's QP magazine (salonqp.com). It's ok, but expensive and mostly adverts.

There are a couple of online ones I think, Watchfinder do one on the AppStore (The Watch Magazine). It's free, so OK.

Can't think of any others

Dino, as mentioned above QP is an established watch publication. Also have a look at Revolution.

In common with most media, there are a wide source of material/editorial available for free on the internet. There are a lot of noted blogs/online magazine, you might try these in no particular order.

https://thewatchmakersclub.com/

https://oracleoftime.com/

There are many more, these are just the first that spring to mind.

I used to enjoy WatchTime:

https://www.watchtime.com/

Unfortunately WH Smiths and the like don't seem to stock it anymore.

I find that WatchTime magazine has an acceptable article to advert ratio and has more insightful articles than QP.

https://www.ablogtowatch.com/ is another online source worth having a read of.

I had wondered why I hadn't seen it in a while, I thought that they'd just sold out whenever I'd got to the store. I'm in town later, I might ask if I can't see it on the shelf.

Is the Hodinkee home page functioning correctly for everyone else?

Whenever I have visited in the last few days I only get the web page header and footer and no articles?




ETA: I enjoy Worn & Wound for the more affordable end of the market.

Also it's not a magazine but TheWatches.tv make some enthuasistic content.

I used to be a huge magazine buyer and would love a decent, physical, watches magazine to read though.

QP is quarterly and with a code I managed to subscribe recently for 15 quid which I thought was decent value. Another shout out for Hodinkee (I like their Youtube channel too) and a podcast called "The Grey NATO".

I enjoy Hondikee and their insta feed is good if you’re into that. The Rake also carries plenty of watch features although it’s an expensive mag.
