Marloe Morar Beacon | Watch Review
Marloe Morar Beacon Dive watches are some of the most popular watches out in the market, and that probably will never change. The dive watch is functional, sporty, generally attractive and can be worn in almost any setting or any activity. The Marloe Morar is Marloe Watch Company’s take on a dive watch, and while it may look derivative at first, I feel they put their unique spin on the dive ...
Phoibos Eagle Ray | Hands On Review
Phoibos Eagle Ray The Phoibos Eagle Ray is the latest model from the young Chinese company, and as I state in the video review, a good step in the right direction. If you were to look at the Phoibos website, you will see most of their watches have been somewhat homages (some more than others), and the Eagle Ray is a departure from that. This model has a lot more of its own identity and is still a ...
Helm Khuraburi | Hands on Watch Review
Helm Khuraburi I have always said, value is very subjective. Some may think a $3,000 watch is a value because of what it offers for that price point. The Helm Khuraburi is much less than $3,000, 10 times less actually, at a price of $300. The term “Bang for your buck”, can be used to describe the Khuraburi, which would be an accurate description. I am one man, and this is one man&rsquo...
Momentum Fieldwalker | Hands-On Watch Review
Momentum Fieldwalker I am not sure if many watch enthusiasts have been asking for a Damsko homage, but that is what the Momentum Fieldwalker is, at least to me. While I don’t know if that was the intention of Momentum or not, I would find it hard to believe they did not notice a resemblance. The Fieldwalker is not an exact copy of a Damasko, there are a good amount of differences of c...
Lum-tec Abyss 400m | Hands on Watch Review
Lum-tec Abyss 400m You ever not like a watch only to find yourself really digging it later on? Well, that is what happened to me with the Lum-tec Abyss 400m. It took a few years, as it was just not on my radar anymore, and it started with the 600m version. I go into detail about this in the video, so I will not drag on about it here, but it is something that rarely happens. Let me be clear, I neve...
E.C. Andersson North Sea II | Hands on Watch Review
E.C. Andersson North Sea II The E.C. Andersson North Sea II is of course the second version of this model, the first was funded through Kickstarter. It is a watch that can be used for all occasions, out on the sea, in the board room, the dining room and with your t-shirt and jeans for a casual day in the town. As the website states-“The Scandinavian way of design is clean...
Trigalux T-Diver | Hands on Watch Review
Trigalux T-Diver There are many watch enthusiasts out there who love watches but can just not afford to drop $500, $600 and more on a watch. That is where these “budget” microbrands come in to play. The Trigalux T-Diver is one that would fall under that banner, and for around $300-it offers a lot of value. Now, I know, budget and affordable is very subjective, but from wh...
Baldieri SM-46 Seamonster Watch Review
Baldieri SM-46 Seamonster In the world of micro brand watches, there are a lot of homage watches, and some original designs. Today I get to discuss the latter, an all original design, in the form of the AB SM-46 Seamonster. For those not familiar with the brand Alessandro Baldieri, it is named after the owner, whose former career was an interior designer. Alessandro was born in ...
