The Worn & Wound Podcast Ep. 142: Sleeper Watches

Today on the Worn & Wound podcast, Zach Weiss and Zach Kazan sit down to talk about “sleeper” watches, the subject of a recent Worn & Wound guide. On the show, they try their best to define what, exactly, a sleeper is (not as easy as it sounds), go through some of the watches from the guide in greater detail, and talk about some great sleepers that weren’t part of the guide.

Do you have a favorite sleeper watch? And what makes a watch a sleeper, anyway? Be sure to let us know in the comments below.
