Review of the Orbita Tourbillon Watch Winder
View the Orbita Tourbillon photo gallery. The Orbita Tourbillon is the Porsche of watch winders. It's modern, sleek, sexy, and it ain't cheap. But for the enthusiast who wants the best for his watches, the Orbita will keep them running with both style and precision. The Orbita Tourbillon looks a...
Review of the Ocean7 G-2 Chronograph
View the Ocean7 G-2 Photo Gallery. After our review the Ocean7 LM-2, we were anxious to get our hands on more from Ocean7. This time, we thought we'd trying something a little different: the Ocean7 G-2 Dive Chronograph. I've always been a sucker for dive chronographs like the Seamaster Pro...
Review of the Nike Amp+ iPod Control Watch
The Nike Amp+ iPod control watch is unusual for many reasons. To start with, it only displays hours and minutes. No seconds, no date, no alarm, no stopwatch. And to see the time, you actually have to press a button to illuminate the LED display. But the Amp+ isn't designed...
Review of the Casio G-Shock GW056A-1V
View the Casio G-Shock GW056A Photo Gallery. I think of the Casio G-Shock GW056A as the G-Shock for people who don't like G-Shocks. It's certainly the most subtle and unrecognizable G-Shock currently in the lineup, and most importantly, the slimmest. It has the same octagonal case as many of the...

Review of the Traser Classic Automatic
View the Traser Classic Automatic Photo Gallery. For way too long now, I've been lusting after a watch with H3 tritium vials. I've always been a sucker for things that glow in the dark (my first watch was the original Timex Indiglo, after all), and luminescence is a big part...
Review of the Casio G-Shock Giez 1000BJ
View the Casio Giez 1000BJ Photo Gallery. We first mentioned the Casio Giez 1000BJ almost a year ago, but we didn't have much to say other than its very cool looking, it's only available in Japan, and its insides are almost identical to the Oceanus 5 Motor (OCW600TDA-1AV). Now that...
Review of the Seiko Velatura SRH005
View the Seiko Velatura SRH005 photo gallery. I've always been a big fan Seiko Kinetic watches. There's something about generating power through physical movement that I somehow find more intriguing than a static and stationary solar cell. I like how you can hear the rotor turn, and even feel the...
Review of the Timex iControl
View the Timex iControl Photo Gallery. MP3 players are becoming an increasingly standard piece of workout equipment. Music can help keep runners "in the zone" or help keep weight lifters' adrenaline pumping, and audio books and podcasts can help us make more efficient use of our workout time. Now that...
Review of the Luminox Navy Seal (3001)
View the Luminox Navy Seal Photo Gallery. I look at a lot of different metrics when evaluating and reviewing a watch, however there's one metric that I hold above all others: wrist time. Wrist time is simply the amount of time I wear a watch beyond the amount of time...
