This is the 3rd straight year I have received this book. I previously reviewed 09, 10 versions as well. I think this has a few errors with some pics mismatched to some watches, but nothing egregious (still double checking before hitting print would be nice). I think this is a good tool, reference, and picture book - but my advice would be to skip it every other year as due to lack of new pieces every year, there is inevitable repetition. I think some of the updated info in here warrants a better score than 10 version though, so I have this a 4, and 10 version a 3, since they added production info where available and added a few brands. I do wish that more brands could be included and maybe some brands cut back on, but it's a very difficult task to present and gather this info in one volume so I think that WWA does a pretty good job at what it is meant for.

Excellent pictures and good descriptions for products from numerous brands. Good compromise between length and thoroughness in a very affordable volume. A reasnable option for someone who wants to buy a single book on the subject.

I have been buying WristWatch Annual since 2005. Pictures are a good size and provide specs for a plethora of watches. A great one stop for the latest watch offerings from many manufactures. It is interesting to see how the prices change over the years. I can't comment on the post concerning errors since I have not check. Everything seems on the up and up.

A wonderful collection of exotic and ecclectic watches that you won't find on everyone's wrist. Quality is never a question with these timepieces.

The book covers a wide range of products; even some of the more obscure ones. It doesn't provide in-depth reviews but offers adaquate general information. A good buy at that price.

I guess I should have looked a little closer at this before purchasing. Although this book contains some beautiful watches it certainly was not what I was expecting. Having a new interest in buying, selling and collecting watches I was looking for a book and/or guide to some of the current fashion models available. Not necessarily the Chevrolets but certainly not the Rolls Royce's shown in this guide. The one thing the book did teach me is what a novice I really am, having only heard of about half a dozen of the brands shown. I guess now the only thing to do is read through the book and drool because I seriously doubt I'll be affording any of these models soon.

Worst annual catalog ever. Factual errors on every page. Mismatch between pictures and text on almost every page. Leads you to suspect no prices can be trusted.
