Jiusko Deep Sea Quartz Chronograph  Today I'd like to share my thoughts on a very nice value watch model, the Deep Sea Quartz Chronogragh, offered from Jiusko Watches. The Asian based company has released quite a few bangs for your buck watches, including some automatics using Seiko automatic movements. I will review one of their automatic watches at a later date so stay tuned. The Deep Sea Quartz Chrono on rubber retails for $499 but can be purchased through Amazon regularly for around $2..

If you are a fan of vintage looking watches, especially a fan of the vintage Seiko 6105-8110 diver, but would rather something a little more modern in terms of materials, then you are probably going to love the Athaya Vintage Lamafa. Athaya is a brand out of Indonesia, and this is their second model. Their first was a Laco Pilot homage.

Hager Watches was founded in 2009 by Pierre Brown, or as he likes to be called, Pete. Their first model was the Commando series, which was a Mil-Sub homage with a Seagull auto and came in around $260. It was a nice enough watch, and a good entry point for the brand.

Today I get to share with you a brand that you are probably not familiar with. As a matter of fact, I had never heard of it myself. Which is surprising seeing as the company has been producing watches since 1919. Well, kind of. In 1919 Fritz Schluep started making watches in Grenchen, Switzerland. In 1952, they transitioned officially to Titoni. Today, they are still making quality Swiss Made Watches, and one of their newest models is the Seascoper, a model that made its debut by Titoni in th..

I am always amazed at what you can get these days in the watch world, for an affordable price point. ($300 and under). Of course affordable is subjective to your income, but I think many can agree that 15-20 years ago it was different. Before the internet became huge, and we had watch forums and blogs galore and online retailers, for this price point you were going to a department store or mall jewelry stores. The watches were what they were, but these days between competition with name brands s..
