WRISTIES WATCH GLOSSARY & RECOMMENDATIONS

This week, the Wristies pull the ole switcheroo and do a Wristy Wrist Swap. Iman has to choose a six-watch collection as if she had Chris's 7.6in/19.3cm wrist, and Chris has to choose a six-watch collection as if he had Iman's 5.5in/14cm wrist. What do you think of the collections we chose? 
PLUS at a Watch Crimes segment where Iman goes banana pancakes on Gallet for omitting a commonly used city on a world timer; and Chris goes full cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs over the reductive mindset of the watch world's Voldemort.

This is the first of two episodes on our everyday carry items. In this episode, we talk about clothes and the stress of dealing with body dysmorphia. We chat about staples in our own wardrobes and our "must-haves". If you believe you have undiagnosed Body Dysmorphic Disorder, please consult a mental health professional. We both believe in therapy as a helpful tool for anyone. But here are some helpful resources.
