Breitling Avenger Chronograph 45 Hands-On Review
Breitling Avenger Chronograph 45 When I think of Breitling, I usually think of the Avenger series or the Superocean, and even though these days the trend has been towards smaller watches, I think this Breitling Avenger Chronograph 45 is so iconic and a great watch regardless of the size. Now it’s true that I used to own a Breitling Avenger Seawolf and yes I did end up selling that watch. Why...
LIV GX-Diver’s Automatic Watch Review
LIV GX-Diver’s Automatic LIV Watches started out about 6 years ago wanting to create an affordable automatic chronograph, and they did just that, and their first Kickstarter Campaign hit over 1 million dollars. They have done quite a few Kickstarter’s over the years but you can also buy the majority of their watches from their website, including this LIV GX-Diver’s Automatic. Thi...
Nite Watches Icon Automatic | Hands On Review
Nite Watches Icon Automatic There are a few notable watch brands who use tritium tubes, the big names being Luminox and Ball Watches. For those who are fans of microbrands, Deep Blue is the first one that comes to mind. Some reading this might not be familiar with the brand I am reviewing here today, the Nite Watches Icon Automatic. Nite Watches headquarters are in England, though the watch m...
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 ...
Votum Blue Ocean | Hands On Watch Review
Votum Blue Ocean Sometimes I just never know what to expect when a watch for review arrives. You may be thinking, well, you know generally what watch the company is sending you and what it looks like, right? In most cases, yes, though sometimes I do not. In this instance, I was familiar with Votum as I reviewed a previous model a few years ago, but I can say the Votum Blue Ocean exceeded my e...
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...
Favre Leuba Raider Deep Blue | Watch Review
Favre Leuba Raider Deep Blue The name Favre Leuba has been around since 1737. It is the second oldest watch brand, in name, ever. I can go on an on about their history, but that can be easily googled. The brand has changed hands a few times since going defunct in the 1970’s, but was purchased by Titan Co. Ltd in 2011. It took a few years to bring the company back from the ashes, but late las...
Gavox Avidiver | Watch Review
Gavox Avidiver I have had the opportunity to look over watches from Gavox in the past. I have admired each model and thought the company did a pretty good job overall with aviation themed watches. Solid looks and solid components were a given but I was wondering when the company would release an automatic watch and maybe a dive style watch. Well now I have the opportunity to examine just such a wa...
Formex AS1100 Chronograph | Watch Review
Formex AS1100 Chronograph Things are changing in the watch world, and have been the past few years. There is a lot of competition in the marketplace with new brands popping up all the time, and along with a bad economy, and we have seen some brands have to close their doors or sell the company just to keep it afloat. Formex Watches saw the changes happening, and recently they have changed th...
DELTAt UMI | Watch Review
DELTAt UMI There are a lot of microbrands out there, new ones popping up all the time in fact. So it goes without saying, just like most products, sometimes you will see some that look similar. While the DELTAt UMI is not a direct copy of anything, the case design is similar to some others out there on the market, though much more affordable. The brand that immediately pops into my mind is Heroic ...
