Citizen VIRT: The World’s First Bluetooth Watch
Those of us into high-tech watches have been wondering who would be the first to release a Bluetooth watch, and how long it would take. Just when we all thought it was going to be Seiko, Citizen has beaten them to the punch. Starting July 7th, The Citizen VIRT will...
Breitling Introduces the Airwolf Professional

The Airwolf is the newest addition to their Professional line and has the following features: Alarm. Stopwatch with a resolution of 1/100th of a second and split times. Countdown timer....
Is the World Ready for Seiko’s New Bluetooth Watch?
According to this press release (translated), Seiko Instruments has developed a very interesting Bluetooth watch prototype. With the addition of software installed on your Bluetooth-enabled phone, the watch can do all of the following: Alert you with a sound or by vibrating when someone calls. Show you the name of...
The Ultimate Casio Pathfinder: the PAW1200T-7V
I was going to wait and write about the new Casio Pathfinder PAW1200T-7V once it was actually available, but I've been getting so much email about this watch that I figured I'd better go ahead and break radio silence. Last summer, I made a post entitled The Ultimate Casio Pro...
Casio Introduces a New Vibrating G-Shock
I love the idea of vibrating alarms. I think a vibrating alarm on a watch makes as much sense as a vibrating ringer on a mobile phone. Unfortunately, if you want a silent watch, you don't have a lot of choices. Some options that come to mind are the Tissot...
The Seiko Blue Monster
If you're a Seiko fan, then you've probably heard of the Seiko Orange Monster. It's a must-have for all Seiko collectors. And if you're a real Seiko diver fanatic, you might even have the Seiko Yellow or Black Monsters, as well. But now, there's a new monster to add to...
The Seiko Sportura SLQ019
Remember the Seiko Sportura SLQ017? It's one of the new limited edition Kinetic Sporturas. Apparently there were only 1,500 made, and only 400 of those were shipped to the US. Well, if you missed out on the SLQ017, Seiko just announced the new SLQ019. As far as I can tell,...
The Junghans Mega 1000 Worldwide Atomic Watch
When I think atomic, I usually think Japanese. Traditionally Casio, and increasingly Seiko. I'm happy to report, however, that it's time to start thinking German, as well. Not only is the new Junghans Mega 1000 atomic, but it's a worldwide atomic watch, as well, which means it is capable of...
The New Casio Triple-Region Waveceptor
Not to be outdone by the new Seiko Brightz worldwide atomic watch, Casio has recently released their own triple-region atomic watch. What makes the new Casio Waveceptor special is that it will calibrate with atomic time signals anywhere in the world, or at least anywhere where there is an atomic...
Kobold Auctions a Soarway Diver SEAL for Katrina Victims
American watchmaker Michael Kobold, along with one of my favorite actors, James Gandolfini, are auctioning an incredible one-of-a-kind Soarway Diver SEAL package for the benefit of Hurricane Katrina victims. Since the American Red Cross is endorsing the auction, I'm assuming the proceeds will go to them, which I believe is...
Seiko Worldwide Atomic Solar Watch
If you're a regular Watch Report reader, you know how much I love the combination of atomic and solar, which usually means Casio. It looks like Seiko is getting serious about their atomic solar collections, however, and has announced the first atomic watch which works worldwide. Of course, "worldwide" means...
The Ultimate Casio Pro Trek (Almost)
I've been waiting for this watch. I'm a big fan of the Casio Pro Trek line, especially since they went solar, and even more so now that they've gone atomic. That's right: an atomic solar Casio Pro Trek. That makes for quite a list of features: Atomic timekeeping. That means...
