Traska Freediver V5 Watch Review
Traska Freediver V5 It has taken five years to get the Traska Freediver in for review, and we are now on version 5 or V5 as I will refer to it in this review. After five years, a lot of hype, and a lot of refinement in the watch itself, I have to say this vintage-inspired, dress-diver is a beautiful watch, and I can see why the brand gets the praise it does. This latest iteration comes in four col...

Richard Le Grand OceanFarer-Hands on Review
Richard Le Grand OceanFarer Today I take a look at the Richard Le Grand OceanFarer, but a few years ago, I did a review of another RLG watch, the Odyssea. I was not overly fond of that piece, mostly because of bracelet issues, but overall I felt the watch was cheaply made, even for its price. Now, in fairness, the company was still in its early stages, and like all companies, they seemed to have s...
Farr and Swit Seaplane Watch Review
Farr and Swit Seaplane Have you been longing for a watch that is a combination dive watch and Flieger? One that has the looks and feel of a solid diver, but also has distinct elements of a pilot watch? If so, the Farr and Swit Seaplane may check a lot of boxes for you. Farr and Swit are based in the United States, (Chicago to be exact) and the Seaplane is assembled by a very popular microbrand you...
A Look At The Gruppo Gamma Divemaster MKII
Gruppo Gamma Divemaster MKII Over 3 years ago, I reviewed the original Gruppo Gamma Divemaster. At the time, I considered it to be their best watch to date. Recently I was able to get my hands on the updated or second version, now called the Gruppo Gamma Divemaster MKII. At first, I thought the changes were minor, and while they are subtle, the changes are not only welcomed but make it a much bett...
Phoibos Great Wall | Hands-On Review
Phoibos Great Wall Break the Walls Dowwwnnn! That is what has been going through my head as I write this review. If you are familiar with Chris Jericho you will get that reference, but on a more serious note, the Phoibos Great Wall is the latest upcoming model from this Chinese microbrand and is another watch that offers a lot for not that much money, just $500 to be exact. That $500 gets you a re...

Gruppo Gamma Divemaster | Watch Review
Gruppo Gamma Divemaster One of the great things about being a reviewer is getting to see a brand grow. I have reviewed quite a few Gruppo Gamma watches over the years and they have come a long way from the very first model I reviewed. The Gruppo Gamma Divemaster is by far the best watch the company has produced to date, as it should be. Any company that produces a product should always strive to i...
