Nine Four Successor Watch Review
Nine Four Successor Despite all that is going on this year, watch brands are still producing new watches. The Nine Four Successor is a new brand and model to me and with a recent wave of Genta inspired designs that I have had in for review, I was not quite sure what to expect, especially considering the very low prices of the Successor. Fortunately, the Successor is not only a very nice watch for ...
Stalingrad Kursk Bronze Hands-On
Stalingrad Kursk Let’s be real. Brand name, no matter the product plays an important role in whether someone will purchase or not. The Stalingrad Kursk, a bronze watch made in Hong Kong, has one of those names that I think many will pass on. There is no getting around it, it is a strange choice for a name of a watch brand. But, a name alone does not make a watch, so what is the $600 price ge...

Marathon MSAR Arctic White The Marathon MSAR is one of the smallest watches offered from Marathon Watches and is now available with a white dial, dubbed the Marathon MSAR Arctic White. At 36mm and 14mm thick, it is a beefy but small watch, available in both automatic or quartz variants.

Zelos Thresher GMT | Watch Review
Zelos Thresher GMT The Zelos Thresher GMT, an all-new model from Zelos, a brand that seems to be pumping out new models and new variants this year, despite the pandemic going on. An exciting and intriguing design, the Thresher is a massive hit for good reason. Such a hit, that only the black dial you see in this review is available, all other colors and variants were sold out quickly during the fi...
D1Milano Atlas | Watch Review
D1Milano Atlas The D1Milano Atlas is one of only a few automatic watches available from the Italian based company, known for this specific style of watch case in many different variations. I was not overly familiar with the D1Milano brand, and after checking out their site, I saw that they have a lot of quartz models, but the few mechanicals they do have, which come in a few different colors and c...
Melbourne Burnley Watch Review
The Melbourne Burnley The Melbourne Burnley is a new model from the Australian based company that is inspired by one of Gerald Genta’s famous designs, but at a much cheaper price than what you would expect to pay for a Genta design. Now, as always, some people are against homages or inspired pieces of any kind, and it does get exhausting as most microbrands (not all) are homages of some kind...
Great Lakes by Ocean Crawler
Ocean Crawler Great Lakes The Great Lakes is a new model from Ocean Crawler, a brand known for producing dive style watches since they hit the scene a few years ago. If you follow Watchreport, you have probably seen quite a few reviews of the brand, as I am quite fond of the watches they produce. This Great Lakes is the first dual crown watch with an internal bezel, but not the only one in the lin...
Alkin Model Two Watch Reveiw
Alkin Model Two The Alkin Model Two is the second model from Alkin, a Britain based microbrand. Their fist model, named the Model One, was a field style watch, but this time they give it a go with a diver, and not just any style dive watch, but a dual crown super compressor style dive watch. Available in 3 dials colors and all equipped with a Miyota 9039 automatic movement, sandwich dial, 300 mete...
CasiOak Casio G-Shock GA2100SU-1A Review
Casio G-Shock GA2100SU-1A “CASIOAK” The Casio G-Shock CasiOak. Almost every year Casio comes out with a model or two that set the G-Shock world on fire, and this year it is the watch dubbed the CasiOak. Now, I admittedly do not keep up with every watch coming from G-Shock and I am sure there are special editions and limited releases I miss, but 2 years ago the big mainstream G-Sho...
Marathon JSAR Dive Watch Review
Marathon JSAR The Marathon JSAR is undoubtedly one serious tool divers watch. Rated to 300 meters, ISO 6425 Certified, and with a High Torque Quartz movement, the JSAR is ready to handle whatever you can throw at it. Manufactured in accordance with US Government specification, this watch and others by Marathon have been worn by the US Military for training and battle. This is not marketing speak b...
Audaz Octomarine Diver Review
Audaz Octomarine Diver If you are looking for a relatively inexpensive dive watch, or even as some would call it, a bargain, the Audaz Octomarine Diver might be a watch to look at. Believe it or not, it is hard to even for me to keep up with all the watch brands out there these days. It seems like every day I find a new brand on social media, or through an email from them directly. Now, this is go...
Hands-On With the Oris Aquis 41.5mm
Oris Aquis 41.5mm The Oris Aquis 41.5mm (and other sizes) is undoubtedly an extremely popular dive watch, not just within the Oris company, but across the board in the entire watch world, it has become a watch worn by countless watch collectors. It is no surprise considering that Oris is a very popular brand, especially since the early 2000s, and with the Aquis being almost a decade old in sold in...
