**DISCLAIMER** The Wristies experienced a few issues with sound in this episode and are genuinely sorry for any discomfort to your delicate ears.

This week The Wristies discuss whether purchasing a watch from an authorized dealer is worth it. Iman is refreshed by her Sprite and obsessed with suitcases. Chris goes crazy over a cartoon dog. One of the Wristies defends an unloved yet useful complication, while the other doesn’t give a flying flapjack that his favorite complication is truly useless.
