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:...
Review of the Casio Edifice EQW-M1000DB-1ACR
Today's review is of the Casio Edifice EQW-M1000DB-1ACR, introduced at Basel 2009. It's a multifunction analog quartz watch with an unusual dial. Specifications: Six-band atomic set (Japan, US, UK, Germany and China - state of the art). Tough solar power. This is Casio's G-Shock technology, meaning its shock-resistant solar power...
Review of the Omega X-33 ref. 3991.52
Last year I posted an item about a discontinued analog-digital watch from Omega, the X-33. Today I am finally posting the actual review of the watch, obtained from ebay shortly after that posting. Why the long delay? Well, read on and see! To recap, the X-33 is one of two...
Review of the Suunto X10m
Up for review today is the Suunto X10m, an improved version of the X9i I reviewed in 2007. It's a GPS watch with a long list of features that belie its understated appearance: GPS: Routes, waypoints, tracks, speed distance, 1 meter (3ft) resolution. Plan and visualize tracks on a PC...
Review of the Nike+ Sportband
Today, a review of the unusual Nike+ Sportband, a combination watch, radio system and running companion. Paired with the coin-sized transmitter in your shoe, the Sportband measures distance, pace and time in a superlight package on a low-key rubber strap. As previously posted, the Sportband is designed for runners who...
Review of the Alpha jump hour 549-SG2709
Disclaimer: We don't usually review low-end Chinese watches on WatchReport, but after much discussion and forum topics, we've decided to re-post this one. Today's review is something a little different from our usual fare: Presenting a classically-styled mechanical dress watch with an unusual complication, the jump hour 549-SG2709 from Alpha...
Review of the Skagen 697XLMLMB
Our second Skagen review today is of the 697XLMLMB. It's a quartz men's dress watch with a style a bit more daring than most of their line. Specifications: 35g in weight with strap. 42.5mm across with crown, 40.2mm without, 49mm lug to lug. 8.5mm thick. Black ion plated stainless steel...
Review of the Skagen 233XXLSLB
As a followup to our interview with Skagen founder Charlotte Jorst, today we have a review of the Skagen 233XXLSLB. From the upcoming 'Skagen Leather' collection, it's very much down the center of the Skagen style: Quartz, slim, and low-key in appearance. Some specifications: 30g in weight, with leather strap...
Review of the Casio G-Shock MTG-1500-1AJF
View the Casio G-Shock MTG-1500-1AJF photo gallery. I'm a big fan of Casio's MRG line of watches (as evidenced by my recent review of the MRG-7500BJ), but there's no question that they are expensive. Fortunately, Casio created the MTG line of watches for those of us who want all the...
Review of the Casio MRG-7500BJ-1AJF
View the Casio MRG-7500BJ-1AJF photo gallery. The MRG line of Casio G-Shocks is as high-end as G-Shocks come. They are the most sophisticated, most refined, toughest, and, of course, most expensive watches Casio makes. Watches in the MRG line range from around $700 to over $3,000 with the MRG-7500 falling...
Review of the Citizen Attesa ATV53-2933
View the Citizen Attesa ATV53-2933 photo gallery. About three or four years ago, I got an email from a reader chastising us for not having better coverage of Citizen. I remember thinking at the time that I really wanted more Citizen content on Watch Report, but that they just weren't...
Review of the Casio G-Shock GW-M5600BC
View the Casio G-Shock GW-M5600BC photo gallery. Sometimes the only way to really know how much you like a particular watch is to simply see how much you wear it. I've had plenty of watches which I thought I was going to love -- watches with all the right features...
