Casio G-Shock GA2100SU-1A “CASIOAK” The Casio G-Shock CasiOak. Almost every year Casio comes out with a model or two that set the G-Shock world on fire, and this year it is the watch dubbed the CasiOak. Now, I admittedly do not keep up with every watch coming from G-Shock and I am sure there are special editions and limited releases I miss, but 2 years ago the big mainstream G-Sho...
NOVE Trident In 2019, Swiss micro-watch brand NOVE announced and launched its new Trident series watch, a timepiece that has continued to generate a lot of interest since. Not only does the Trident have some standout features that make it unique in the marketplace (more on that soon), NOVE has ensured it makes the watch to the highest standards of quality and workmanship. NOVE has become notable a...
Venturo Field Watch (By Gruppo Gamma) 6 years. That is about how long Gruppo Gamma has been in business and has now lead them to create a sister brand, Venturo Watches. I have reviewed countless watches from the brand over the years, almost every model I believe. Being a reviewer and editor of this site I have also spent a lot of time talking to the other of Gruppo Gamma watches, and while we live...
Carpenter Brooklyn Field Classic. Traditional. Vintage. These words are what comes to mind when I look at the Carpenter Brooklyn Field. It is a field watch that looks like something maybe my grandfather would have worn. At 40mm, it is probably a little larger than a true vintage piece, but 40mm is the new “it” size these days with a lot of brands. The trend seems to be smaller and more...
Obris Morgan Nautilus “Man, Obris Morgan watches all look the same!” “I wish Obris Morgan would do something different! ” To the people that posted comments like these or similar, Obris Morgan did something different. Immediately when I saw their latest model, the Nautilus, being posted on social media a few months ago, I said, well, they went against the grain for sure. Fo...

MTM Special OPS Hypertec When I think of MTM Special OPS watches, this Hypertec watch is not what really comes to mind. It is not chunky, it is not overly “tactical”, it doesn’t have any special lighting system and is not touted as being a military watch or a professional diving watch. I am still not sure what genre to list this Hypertec in other than a sports watch, a...
Armand Nicolet JS9 Every once in a while, I get a watch in for review that really stands out in terms of build quality and finishes. This time, that watch is the Armand Nicolet JS9. While it is not without a few quirks, the quality of this watch matches up with the price tag, which happens to be around $1700 USD. There is no doubt that in that price range there is some heavy competition, but the J...
Ocean Crawler Ocean Navigator The Ocean Crawler Ocean Navigator is the third model to come out from the New York-based brand. I say, the third model because while they have many variations of their very popular Champion Diver line, this Ocean Navigator is the 3-hand version of their original chronograph model. This one offers a lot-Titanium case, sapphire crystal and bezel and an ST...
Rotary Henley GMT The Rotary Henley GMT is a new model from the British Based brand (though not produced in the UK), and comes in a few different color and strap options at a price point of $285-$335. The one I show here is on the lower end at $285 because it has a leather strap instead of a stainless bracelet. Checking the website before I sat down to write this review, I noticed that the blue di...
