When it comes to dive watches, I have reviewed many here, from the affordable to the more high end, automatic and quartz. Quartz is sometimes a word that is taboo in the watch community, as many people tend to prefer automatics. But there is something to the “grab and go” quartz, at least to me, and a no nonsense dive watch. Enter the Momentum M50 Mark II, this time with a full luminous dial.

Today I'd like to share my thoughts on a relatively new watch model offered from Detomaso Watches.

While the Anstead is technically a dive watch, I feel it is a great all occasion watch whether in the ocean, the office, or just your everyday watch. This is technically the second version of the Oceanis, or the evolution of the first model. Many might remember that model or still own one, and it was a great watch at a very affordable price that was funded through Kickstarter. For the se..
