Lately, I am on a kick enjoying reviewing watches that present themselves as truly good values. Today, I’d like to share my thoughts about a new Aviator model from Meister (MSTR) Watches.

ARC-TIC Iceland Ultima Thule Watch Review
When I think of the Arctic Circle, I think of a very remote, desolate place with very little industry and business, let alone watch companies. While the area overall may be a bit remote and desolate, a rather obscure watch brand calls Iceland home. ARC-TIC Iceland is a watch brand that produces timepieces made for extreme sporting and outdoor activities. The company is linked to the JS Watch Co. R...

Reactor Poseidon Review
As I mentioned in a past review, I have been fortunate to see numerous Reactor watch models over the last few years and each time I come away impressed. One of my personal grail watches since its release has been the Poseidon.
