Alright, let’s get right into it. Things We Want time!
I am currently out in Viva Las Vegas. The city is currently being invaded by an absolutely unhinged Venn diagram of humanity: Hollywood studio suits for CinemaCon, celebrity golfers for Justin Timberlake’s tournament at the Wynn, the sweaty, spandex-clad fans in town for WrestleMania, and aging jam-band fans from the Northeast who spent their formative years staring at Winamp visualizers listening to 20-minute YEM jams in their parents’ basements.
My crew and I… Uh… Even though we’re very middle-aged, we fall squarely into that last bucket, strictly locked in for a three-night Phish run at the Sphere. (Full disclosure: since this goes live on Friday, I prewrote this bad boy on Wednesday so I could actively avoid my laptop on vacation). It’s unseasonably chilly in the Mojave, but we’re surviving on a strict diet of hot tubs and freezing cold Modelos to celebrate my fiancée’s birthday. We actually met at a Phish show, so this run is a special one before we officially tie the knot.
Night 1 was so spectacularly weird…. Space traveling glizzys visuals! How trippy:

Anyway…
Pivoting wildly: with all the Watches and Wonders releases, I’ve got timepieces on the brain. I recently snagged my Indochino wedding suit, but I’m suddenly gripped by this irrational terror of standing at the altar without a Good Watch™. It’s time to upset my financial planner and become a “Big Watch Guy.” My strike zone is $2,000 to $5,000, and I’m aggressively chasing that TAG Heuer Seafarer vintage field watch. Unfortunately, it sold out instantly, and navigating the secondary market is terrifying. Consider this my Bat-Signal: Watch Nerds, drop me an email at brandon@brobible.com or slide into my IG DMs and tell me how to spend my money.
Finally, a quick personal plug to pay the bills. I just wrapped up a massive Substack series, The Last Days of Analog Wonder, chronicling my Semester at Sea trip around the world 20 years ago (highlights include getting violently ill from Pizza Hut in India). Tap here to read it. I’m planning to morph it into a coming-of-age book project this summer, after the wedding. If you happen to be a literary agent reading this while pretending to answer emails, drop me a line. I have a couple of projects I’d love to pitch you. At the same time, I also have, and I’m fully prepared for my dreams to die, since people in those circles tend not to see a lot of “alignment” (I hate that word) with what we do here at BroBible for some reason.
Alright, enough half-assed manifesting from me. Let’s get to the gear. Here is this week’s Things We Want…
- Traeger just unleashed the all-new Westwood™ and Westwood™ XL wood-pellet grills… This is how you dominate this summer. If your goal is to slow-smoke ribs so flawlessly that your neighbors start showing up uninvited, this is your new weapon of choice. Same with a brisket. Both models are completely loaded with Traeger’s legendary Set-It & Forget-It® tech, P.A.L customization, and WiFIRE™ control, meaning you can perfectly monitor your meat from your phone while actively ignoring your real-world responsibilities from a lawn chair. The standard Westwood packs 653 sq. in. of cooking space for $699, while the XL bumps it up to an absolutely massive 823 sq. in. for $799 if you’re cooking for a crowd. Buy it over at Traeger.com.

- You know what Traeger doesn’t have? A portable, propane-fueled outdoor skillet made from 3-ply, chef-grade stainless steel like the Solo Stove Steelfire 22-inch Griddle. I’m completely obsessed with mine, and I’m obsessed with the awesome Philly Cheesesteak video I made at the park with mine the other week. You can sling it to the park or campground or lake or wherever you need You need to go buy one for the backyard or patio this summer over at SoloStove.com. They’re $399 on SoloStove.com, and you can use either a 20-lb or a 1-lb propane tank with it. When you buy it, tell them Brandon at BroBible sent you.

Speaking of my terrifying descent into watch culture, TAG Heuer just dropped the Monaco Evergraph at Watches and Wonders. It rocks a 40mm Grade 5 titanium case, a hyper-modern openworked dial, and the debuting Calibre TH80-00 movement that literally reinvents the chronograph with a flexible compliant mechanism. It’s an absolute masterpiece priced at a cool $25,000—which is exactly $20,000 over my stated wedding watch budget. But hey, a guy can dream.

Last week, I swung by an event in LA at the Trousdale Estates for MOVA’s new line of autonomous home tech. My one-liner on the whole thing is that it’s very Jetsons-esque. They showcased some wildly futuristic gear designed to completely eliminate your household chores: the Rover X10 is literally a hovering underwater drone that 3D-maps and cleans your pool, the LiDAX Ultra 3000 AWD is a wire-free robot mower that uses LiDAR to map your lawn in minutes, and the MOBIUS 60 is a robot vacuum that physically swaps out its own dirty mopping pads so it isn’t just smearing grime across your kitchen floor. If you want to fully automate your life this summer and do literally zero yard work, keep an eye on MOVA. Here’s a silly video I made from it on my Instagram:

If you consider The Big Lebowski to be a core personality trait like I do, Adidas just dropped a sneaker that will really tie your outfit together. The new Anfu Bowling shoe channels pure ’70s alley vibes with a fresh white leather upper, burgundy suede hits, and a polished sole. You probably shouldn’t wear them on actual lanes, but The Dude would absolutely abide. They drop April 17th via atmos Japan for around $194—keep your eyes peeled for the stateside release.
- Circling back to my wedding watch hunt: the newly updated Tudor Black Bay 58 might actually be the most serious contender on my list right now. They just revealed the 2026 version at Watches and Wonders, and it is an absolute masterpiece of an everyday dive watch. They slimmed the 39mm case down to 11.7mm, added a METAS-certified movement, and introduced a gorgeous new five-link bracelet. At around $5,200 on a bracelet, it technically breaks my $5,000 budget, but what’s another couple of hundred bucks when we’re talking about true love? This just might be the one.
