Casio G-Shocks play many roles: fashion icons, hardcore tool watches, respectable divers, etc. Today, we look at something of a new phase for the G-Shock line in the form of a “multi role fighter.” The Casio G-Shock GW-2000 sports aviation styling while retaining the GMT features of many of its...
Review of the Seiko SBQJ015 Perpetual Calendar GMT
View the Seiko SBQJ015 Photo Gallery. When I realized that most of my collection had shifted toward divers and sports watches, I started to keep an eye out for something a little more elegant — something that might be slightly more at home with dress shirt than a 15mm high...
Review of the Benarus Worldiver GMT Auto

Review: The Poljot Traveller Alarm
Russians aren't generally known for their electronics or their cars, but you may want to pay attention to their watches.

Review of the Luminox LWAC-B Travel Alarm Clock
Today's review is a bit unusual because although it's 1mm smaller than the newest Panerai, it's not a wristwatch; rather, it's the Luminox LWAC-B travel alarm clock. When Luminox USA contacted us recently, we perused their product line and were surprised to learn that they offer travel alarms, but if...
