Casio GW-3500B-1A Review
I like analog-digital watches, and Casio makes some of the best. Today we review the GW-3500B-1A, a new entrant from their Aviation series of G-Shocks. Designed for flying and high acceleration, this reverse-LCD model is on the high end of the line: Case is 49.1mm by 16.4mm, 75g, rubber and plastic with stainless steel caseback. Domed mineral crystal Radio set, six bands ‘atomic timekeeping&...
Phosphor Appear Review
It is a rare day that a watch comes in that we can easily describe as being “unique” in the manner in which it displays the time. At Watch Report we generally see a lot of 3 handed dive watches, quartz chronographs and multifunctions digitals, none of them being especially unique when it comes to physically pointing out the time. Thanks to Phosphor, who you all likely know well for the...
Casio G-Shock GW-3000B Review
Big, bold and analog: this is the GW-3000, from the G-Shock Aviation line. Today we review the GW-3000B, the version with an orange dial and metal bracelet. Let’s get started with the basic features and measurements: Available in blue or orange with a PVD case, and orange/white with a unplated steel case. Tough solar power, 5 month power reserve 6-band atomic timekeeping, accurate to within ...
Review of the Hamilton Khaki Field (H70685337)
Much like Tag Heuer, Hamilton is a brand that I have somehow never owned even though I often found myself enjoying their designs and even noticing them in TV and movie placements. Hamilton is actually a longstanding brand that can trace its roots back to 1892. They started building pocket watches in Pennsylvania and after making their first wrist watch in 1917, Hamilton was a major supplier of wat...
Stolas Harbormaster Genoa Review
The watch community is alive with a resurgence of retro style divers and mirco-brands bringing 60’s styled divers to the masses. If classic styled watches are not your taste, you may be interested in the Harbormaster series from Stolas Watches. A self proclaimed “draconian” timepiece, Stolas has made a very modern and flashy diver with Harbormaster line. Stolas is an Alabama base...
OCEAN7 Classic and AirNautic Classic 24 Review
OCEAN7 and its sister brand AirNautic, are well known for making sport and dive watches with a variety of styles and quite a few models have been seen on Watch Report in the past. After so many dive and aviation watches it was surprising to see a modern dress watch come from OCEAN7 but they have made one and its known simply as The Classic. We have two examples to show you today one is the O...
Review of the Benarus Remora
Benarus Remora In the ever expanding world of independent watch makers, it can be hard to know if you are buying a fad that will flash in the pan and one day leave you with an unreliable and un-serviceable watch. There are so many new companies sprouting up and making sports watches for an eager online market that keeping them all straight can be tough. Recently, we had the...
Tag Heuer F1 Grande Date Review
This review has been a long time coming, personally I have been collecting watches for nearly six years and although I’ve owned dozens of watches, not a single one has been a Tag Heuer. A seemingly elusive brand for me, I am quite excited to have gotten my hands on a nice example of what Tag Heuer has to offer in Watch Report’s preferred sub-$1000 range. The current model F1 Grande Dat...
Ingersoll Oklahoma IN2802BK Review
The Ingersoll watch brand has its roots in classic Americana; lending an antique flair to a modern, globally sourced timepiece. Recently, we took a look at the Buffalo III and came away impressed with the aesthetic and price point. Today we will look at one of its brothers, the Oklahoma, a thoroughly classic looking timepiece even when compared to the rest of the Ingersoll brand. Ingersoll IN2802B...
Artego Sea King Review
Just a few months ago we reviewed the Artego 300m Diver and came away very impressed with its vintage tool-diver style and excellent price point. The guys at Artego have been pretty busy as they recently launched a new watch, the Sea King. The Sea King is named after the...
Momentum M50 Mark II Review
Today's review is the Momentum M50 Mark II, model number 1M-DV52B0. I've previously reviewed (and quite liked) the Cobalt V, so let's see how this one fares. Specifications: According to Momentum, this "is our official police and military watch." Bead-blasted 316L stainless steel case and bracelet. Also available in rubber...
Ingersoll Buffalo III Review
Today we bring you something completely different. Ingersoll Watches was founded in 1892, having one of the first American watch factories with an automated production system (accredited to Henry Ford, no less). Their pocket watches were carried by presidents, and the dials of many Ingersoll watches were at one time...
