Hey, I know there was a magazine thread that was a bit in the past but still kinda recent but it was fairly short. So, I was wondering, out of these three magazines:

-International Watch (iWmagazine)
-QP Magazine
-Watchtime

which would you guys suggest? Based on any of your past experiences with them. If there are other magazines, subscription based, that you would suggest, please list them!

Thanks,
crasian1030

I've mainly dabbled with both Watchtime and IW however maintain an active subscription to Watchtime as I just prefer it. I've tried several others and to be honest they all broadly contain similar information. My advice would be to try one of each, if you can, and then decide which one you prefer; I don't really think you can go too far wrong with either of the options you mention below. I will say though that Watchtime only come once every 2 months which is a little long IMO - I would prefer a monthly version.

I have both IW and WatchTime. I prefer IW, but they are both very good.

iW is a good one. The family that runs it ain't too shabby either.

Although they need to invest a little more in copy editing - the last few have been bad (I even e-mailed Gary Girdvainis this month). It would also be nice if mine got stuck in my mailbox in a plastic bag or envelope rather than loose!!!

Have a word with the family for me will you Justin :poke: :wink:

By the way, you know that I write for part of my living right..... :twisted:

Ok, so it seems like IW is the best. I do remember seeing both IW and watchtime, and maybe even other ones, at Borders, so I'll probably take a look before I subscribe to anything

I have never heard of 00/24, but I just looked it up. The website looks very nice! I'll definitely take a close look when I have the time. Thanks for the suggestion.
