Any time somebody on the internet makes a “best of list” you have to wonder who made them an expert. Well, today I am making a list of Seiko watches. While I may not be a horological expert, I am a Seiko fanboy and I do own every watch on this list. So, I am the perfect person to give you some solid advice about which Seiko to buy if you want to spend $500 or less.
Are you looking for the best solar dive watch around? Well, it’s actually a tougher mission than you might have thought! Not only have I scoured the internet for the best solar dive watches, I’ve actually physically handled and used every watch on the list! I’ll give further details, but let’s get right to it.
Like so many pieces of gear I try out, I saw the ADDIESDIVE Steeldive watch well over a year ago while looking at watches on Amazon. Originally, I thumbed my nose at another homage attempt, and I really wasn’t a fan of the Willard Diver. However, that has changed and I have found myself enthralled…
Here are my picks for the best EDC watches you can get right now, broken down into automatic and quartz choices. It’s no secret that watches are a big part of an everyday carry kit. And while there are a ton of great options out there at every price point, it can be tough to…
In this long-term watch review I’m going to dive deep into the Steinhart Ocean One Titanium and lay out the case why it’s a great value, great watch, and often overlooked. At the time of this writing I have owned the Ocean One Titanium for well over two years. If you don’t want to read…
When it comes to watches, there are a ton of options to choose from. In this blog post, we will explore some of the key features to look for EDC watch.
Today we’re looking at the G-Shock DW-5600E. It’s a very nostalgic watch, about the closest thing you can get to the original DW-5000C, which was the very first G-Shock. It’s also one of the simplest and most budget-friendly entries into the extensive G-Shock line, which has ballooned to span hundreds of different models.
This is a “long-term” review as I forgot I never finished writing it! I ordered the Navi Harbor directly from Timex in November 2017 on a Black Friday Weekend special and I have worn it regularly ever since. It’s interesting reading through my initial thoughts from 2017 compared to today, November of 2021…a late has…
A Deep Dive Into The Timex MK1 Chronograph Back in the 1960s and 70s, the U.S. military needed watches that were accurate, easy to read and cheap to produce. They needed watches that were essentially disposable. Timex made quite a few of those watches, designed to MIL-W-46374 military specifications and distributed to U.S. Marines, who…
I’ll be honest with you. I don’t much care for digital watches. They’re just not my thing. So when I tell you that the Casio AE-1200WH World Timer won me over, you can be sure that it won me over the hard way. This is a very popular watch, and it has a lot of…
It’s a more common internet question than you would think: “what are the most durable wrist watches?” I guess there are a lot of folks out there with broken watches in their kitchen drawer…because that’s where mine go. I have torn through many watches over the years and I am always looking for the most rugged and dependable wrist watches around.
I was able to pick up a Advolat Flieger Automatic recently and have spent several weeks with it on the wrist. I already knew that a Flieger-style watch was as classic as they come, yet Advolat has been able to put an original mark on this timeless design.
Today, I want to talk about why the Citizen Nighthawk is a good watch (in fact it’s a great watch!) and highlight what makes this a watch worthy of your money.
The Hull Diver watch review. Spinnaker has been around for a number of years and has a large catalog of watches, mostly dive style pieces with Seiko guts inside. Many folks refer to them as a microbrand, but I think at this point they are way past that status.
No matter what list of watches you set out to rank, there is just no shortage of options! The key to finding a good outdoor watch is to talk to someone who has experienced the actual watch being recommended. Lucky for you, I am just such a guy. I am also an avid backpacker and off-trail explorer, so I have real world, in the field knowledge of what works and what doesn’t.
This time, Phoibos has changed the movement and upped the stakes with an excellent bracelet version. Perhaps the biggest addition to this one is the bracelet and I want to talk about it first, because it’s excellent.
The Engineer Flyboy is a very nice watch with a slightly understated look. With the brushed case and matching brushed bracelet, the watch will serve you well in a variety of situations.
Looking for a serious quartz diver? Then you need to check out the Deep Blue DayNight Diver! Crazy lume and light on the wrist just might be the ticket.
