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. The Poljot Traveller Alarm hails from the motherland and does so with simple style, interesting features, and some old-world charm. I bought this watch second hand and in the spirit...
Review of the Citizen Chrono-Time AT
View the Citizen Chrono-Time AT Photo Album. The choice for an "always right" (solar-powered, atomic time synchronized) dress watch has, up to now, been somewhat limited. Apart from the Japan-only Seiko Brightz, the only watches in this space have been from Casio (and their Oceanus brand). The Casio watches that...
Review of the Luminox 6402 “Blackout”
In addition to the other timepieces Luminox recently provided us, we also got a sneak preview at the unreleased 6402 'Blackout' seen here. Based on the previous F-117 Nighthawk 6402, the Blackout goes stealth with black-on-black dial, hands and matching PVD case and bracelet. The only color on the face...
Review of the Lum-Tec C1
Today's review is one of the most unusual watches you'll see. Designed in Ohio, it has a vintage Russian mechanical movement, superlative multilayer lume, and a two-tone case with aviation-style dial. Say hello to the Lum-Tec C1: 38mm by 12.5mm, 135g. 18mm non-tapering 5-link bracelet, single button clasp release, solid...
Review of the Luminox 2002
Continuing our Luminox reviews, today we have the just-discontinued model 2002 GMT watch. Described as an "Executive Traveller Watch," it combines the utility of tritium illumination with a nice case, bracelet, 24-hour bezel, and separate 24-hour hand. Let's get started with some specifications: 40mm by 11mm, 125g. Quartz movement, 45-month...
Review of the TX 400
It is a rare occasion that I am sent a dress watch amid the bevy of divers that swim through my collection. I have had the opportunity to review two previous TX models and both were multifunction chronographs with busy dials and many duties beyond date and time. The 400...
Review of the Casio Baby-G BGA100-8B
Up for review today is the Casio Baby-G BGA100-8B. It's a G-Shock for women, if the rhinestone-accented pink dial and heart-shaped window didn't already tip you off. As with the forthcoming mini line, Casio has scaled down the full G-Shock requirements for the Baby-G line: Water resistant to 100m (330ft)...
Review of the Morpheus Culinary C2
Today's review of the Morpheus Culinary C2 may be, I think, the first ever cooking watch to be reviewed here on Watch Report. Proving that, once again, for truly radically new ideas, the place to look is the tiny new watchmaker you've never heard of before. When James Cowan, president...
Review of the Halios Holotype
In the illustrious and glamorous world of watch reviews there are few things that motivate us at Watch Report like a good deal. Very few people buy products based solely on the price so most of us will choose the product with the best value because it is value that...
Review of the Phosphor P-0302 and P-0201
As mentioned in the previous Phosphor review, we also received two of their newest curved e-ink models: the P-0302 and P-0201. (The picture to the right is the 0201.) With these watches, Phosphor has embraced the capabilities that differentiate e-ink from previous technology, creating curved displays previously impossible. While they...
Review of the Phosphor Ana-Digi e-ink
One of the exciting developments in the past few years has been the introduction of a new kind of display called "electronic ink" or "e-ink." Unlike LCD displays in many ways, it looks more like paper and opens up some interesting avenues for new watch designs. Today's review is of...
Citizen BJ8040-01E Titanium “EcoZilla”
Today, we bring you a treat. The beast in the flesh, the internet forum darling, the Citizen Ecozilla. The model for review is the BJ8040-01E, a large dive watch that makes you feel like an old-school diver from the minute it is strapped to your wrist. Lets review the stats:...
