Watch reviews

The 'Mojito' has one of the best dials in my collection. The contrast and color combination of that somewhat dark green and gold will have you looking at it for months. It doesn't have a color-matched date wheel (black date wheel) but I didn't even notice until months later.  the case is amazing for all wrist sizes. I originally thought it would look big on my 6.25 wrist but it actually fits perfectly and does it's job as a dress watch very well...

To me this watch is a 5/5 stars. The watch just melts into your wrist and the bracelet (as well as the rubber strap you can buy for it) is extremely comfortable. On days when it's a bit gloomy outside the blue dial is deep and rich and has really good legibility. But when its sunny, the watch just comes alive with that rich-colored texture dial and light-catcher case. and the quality? Truly amazing. I haven't been able to take it off my wrist fo...

The Omega Speedmaster "Sapphire Sandwich" stands out as a modern classic, and after spending time with it, I can confidently say it’s my preferred version over the Hesalite model. The key reason? The stunning display caseback.   Display Caseback & Movement   The exhibition caseback is a showstopper. It reveals the beautifully finished Caliber 3861 movement, which is a joy to admire. The Geneva waves, polished bevels, and intricate details...

The Sinn 556 stands out as a masterclass in minimalist watch design, blending utilitarian function with a strikingly refined aesthetic. After extended wear, a few key characteristics define the experience:   Mesmerizing Dial and Floating Hands   The inky black dial is truly captivating-its deep, glossy finish draws the eye and creates a sense of depth that makes the white indices and hands pop. Thanks to the double anti-reflective (AR) coating ...

The Seiko SSK033 is a striking watch that consistently impresses with its looks and value. The white dial paired with the blue and black GMT bezel stands out, giving the watch a much pricier appearance than its actual retail price-especially since it’s often available at 20–30% off MSRP. The Hardlex-covered bezel is particularly eye-catching, shifting in tone as it catches the light, and the overall design is frequently described as gorgeous ...

Classic G-Shock Square. Very solid watch that's more than worth its price. I upgraded to a 5610 with solar and multiband capabilities eventually, but this watch does everything it needs to....

The ISL-91 is a solid watch for the price. Unfortunately, the NH36 was a bit all over the place in terms of accuracy. Nicely finished case, good build quality, good bracelet. The legibility of the dial is superb and the dial design works really well together with the handset. Decent lume too, including a fully lumed ceramic bezel. I kinda regret selling this one....

My favourite watch in the collection is my silver dial Bicompax 002. It's sector dial is just amazing, the textures are perfect. The acrylic crystal adds to its vintage vibes. The case is well finished, the strap is perfect and so are the dimensions. Baltic sadly stopped making them, but it's still amazing ...

I own the white dial version. First watch I ever seriously bought around three years ago. Amazing design, well finished, great weight to it. The solar panels are very well placed as the subdials. The bracelet is comfortable but not 100% fits the brushing of the case. It's not too bad though, because this watch is an absolute strap monster and looks great on everything. i love this watch and it has become my go to for almost every task as it is ro...

Bought this one about 2.5 years ago and it is in my collection ever since. The strap is amazing, the dial extremely pretty and the watch is finished very well for the price. the one downside is the case which is relatively thick what makes it sit very high on the wrist.  You buy this watch because of the design and to support the brand, and for the reason I 100% recommend it!...

I recevied this watch as a gift from my husband. It was my first automatic watch and the watch that introduced me to the hobby. For a few months, I wore it everyday to the point that I stopped wearing my Apple Watch. I used it to time almost everything and anything~laundry, cooking, my child's nap times, when I go for walks, etc., it was my daily beater. But it got heavy overtime, also the bracelet is not comfortable too. There was no right size ...

I discovered this watch when I was looking for alternatives to a Cartier Tank, ideally on a bracelet. I have to say this is an alternative to the Tank only in the sense that it has a rectangular case but otherwise it has its own identity and stands on its own feet. Both the case and the bracelet are fully polished but it doesn't give off the feel of a toy watch which I tend to get from some other fully polished watches. I think it might have been...

So I didnt plan on buying this watch, I was after a Hamilton Field Khaki Titanium and I bought this instead. You could say the AD up sold (which I guess they did) but I got a fantastic deal - enough to buy the Hamilton and more for the difference, which promptly got sold a few months later - this Tudor is still with me. So back to this BB58 (SS 925) I love its size and how comfy it is on the wrist. Also its so clear too. I'm looking forward to ho...

I’ve had this watch for 25 years and all it ever needs from me is a new battery every 4/5 years and the date and times changed due to calendar and BST/GMT changes. It never misses a beat. Yes it’s been through the wars but it’s been my diver watch in many seas and oceans over a number of continents and over a couple of decades. Now it’s become a desk diver (though only from time to time), but it always grabs people’s attention. In watch...

Like many of you, I stumbled into the watch world wide-eyed and full of curiosity. I started off with a bunch of Casios and quartz pieces that I bought without much thought. But once I discovered the “real watch world,” I dove deep — research, YouTube, forums, Reddit… the works. And among all the watches that kept popping up as a fan-favorite was the Seiko Alpinist SPB121.   Everything about it fascinated me: the history, the green dial,...

This timepiece was and still is my grail. And on my birthday this year, I finally got it. It is, in my opinion, the most true-to-value watch that Cartier offers. It is in between the Panthere and Santos de Cartier. I've always preferred wearing my watches on a strap rather than a bracelet and the Santos Dumont has it. The strap is also buttery smooth. I wear it when I go out and it just makes every outfit look great. It is both dressy and sporty ...

This was the first proper watch I got myself. Also my first non-convetional round shaped timepiece. I have a few other watches but I always choose to wear this. It is very versatile, I like to change the straps with different colored leather straps. Also very easy to change it myself. I'm a full-time Mom to a toddler and wearing this watch is easy. I'm not afraid to accidentally scratch or hit him with it like my other big diver watch. It is also...

This is such an underrated watch. The uncolored bezel is something you don't see often and looks really good. This is a really good watch h for someone buying their first automatic dive watch. You really don't need more than 200 meters so this will work perfectly as a daily wear. ...

The watch wears smaller than its size would seem. The stock strap is fine, but it really shines with a strap upgrade; it’s a strap monster and looks great on just about anything. The mineral crystal can scratch, but it’s easy to fix or replace. Probably the best watch to start modifying by yourself. Lume is not great. For the price, this is definitely one of the best beaters out there. ...

I have the white dial version with the gold case and let first say it's a really beautiful watch. The world pattern on the dial looks amazing and fits well with the flyer GMT function. The strap is okay, it comes with a clasp which is nice, but if you have the steel case version I'd get a bracelet. The gold hands against the white dial do make it hard to read in certain lighting. The lume is really good in my opinion. Finally I'd say it does wear...
