Review and contest: Orient CEM75001B and CEM65001B
Not only do we have a review of two Orient watches today, they're also yours to win on on Twitter contest detailed below. What we have here are two versions of Orient's mechanical dress diver with automatic movements, day/date, dive bezels, and quickset day. The differences are in the style...
Review of the Prometheus Recon 5
Up for review today is the second watch from Prometheus, and it's quite a bit different from the Ocean Diver. The Recon 5 is an handwinding aviator, with the characteristic re-think we've come to expect from Prometheus. Let's get started with some specifications: Stainless steel case: 44mm by 10.5mm. Sapphire...
Review of the Luminox F-22 Raptor 9282
We've reviewed several Luminox watches and clocks here at Watch Report, and today we're happy to review another: the new F-22 Raptor, model 9282. The brand is clearly moving into more upscale models, and this is a nice example of what they can do. Let's start with the specs: Titanium...
Video Review of the Marathon GSAR and TSAR Dive Watches
Last month, we posted a detailed review of the Marathon GSAR with some nice pictures, but there's nothing like seeing one in HD. In this video, I review both the GSAR (automatic) and TSAR (quartz) Marathon watches. By Christian Cantrell
Review of the Casio Lady-G LWA-M140-7ACF
A review today of a women's watch from Casio's Baby-G series that does it all. The LWA-M140-7ACF is quite the powerhouse, packed into a casually-styled look that belies its inner geek: Tough solar power (the dial is a solar panel). 5-band atomic timekeeping (US, UK, Japan, Germany). Water resistant (depth...
Review of the AirNautic AN-24 Pilot
It's very rare to come across a watch designed with a singular style and aesthetic, but the example we have in today reflects a tradition of Swiss aviation watches. The AirNautic AN-24 Pilot is an automatic pilots watch that features a time-proven design and the backing of a familiar brand....
Review of the Rolex Submariner 50th Anniversary Edition
View the Rolex Anniversary Submariner Photo Gallery. I can't tell you how many reviews of the Rolex Submariner can be found today on the internet. Indeed, there are dozens. So how does one write yet another review of such a classic and iconic watch? It's unlikely that I can provide...
Review of the Helix Typhoon HX380-04L04S
Today's review is a bit unusual in that it's a watch no one had heard of before at WatchReport. I bought it on a whim from a sale site for $58, and think you just might like it yourself. Say hello to the Helix Typhoon, model HX380-04L04S. It's an analog-digital...
Review of the Prometheus Ocean Diver
Up for review today is a truly remarkable watch: the Ocean Diver from Prometheus. It's their first watch, designed by Brian Green, and had quite a saga before it was all done. Let's get started with some specifications: Automatic ETA 2836 movement. Day/date, hacking, and handwinding, 40 hour power reserve....
Review of the Benarus Moray
We have long spoken of our love for simple and easy to read dive watches. In fact, many dive watches have built a cult following by offering a no-nonsense approach to accuracy and legibility. Perhaps most famously, watches like the Panerai Luminor, Rolex Sea-Dweller, and even brands like Marathon have...
Review of the Praesto Modern Fliegeruhr
Today I review the Praesto Modern Fliegeruhr, a brand new take on the classic pilot's watch and the first product from newcomer Praesto. Specifications to get us started: Automatic mechanical, based on the Miyota 8245, handwinding but non-hacking. 21,600vph, 21 jewels. Water resistant to 200m (660ft). 316L stainless steel case,...

View the Marathon GSAR Photo Gallery. The Marathon Watch Company is a supplier of watches to the Canadian military, but their products are also available for use by the U.S. military, law enforcement, and other government agencies. Luckily, they are also available to the general public. The Marathon GSAR (meaning...
