Video Description:

Have you ever wondered why a watch is called a “watch”? We don’t exactly watch it like a movie, yet that’s what people have called these tiny timekeepers for centuries. In this episode, we rewind history to uncover the surprising origin of the word “watch” — from medieval night guards and sailors to pocket watches and modern smartwatches.
