Duzu Coral Bay Hands-On Review
Duzu Coral Bay Tired of the small watch trend? Looking for something that is a little more rugged and chunky? Well, Duzu Watches is going on Kickstarter soon with the Duzu Coral Bay, or the DW-D2 as it’s printed on the dial. I have had this watch in hand for a good month or so, and I have been quite impressed with it. The Coral Bay will only be available with a black dial but don’t wor...
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...
Boldr Odyssey Freediver Hands-On Review
Boldr Odyssey Freediver The Boldr Odyssey Freediver is one of the latest offerings from the constantly evolving microbrand and comes in much smaller than its predecessor with a new 40mm case size. The original Odyssey is 45mm, and I have covered quite a few of them here in recent years. The Freediver isn’t just a smaller case though, it has been updated with quite a few other design elements...
Cronus Prototype 3 Hands-On Review
Cronus Prototype 3 Every now and then, I get to introduce a brand most of you have probably never heard of. That brand is Cronus Watches and the watch I am reviewing today is the Cronus Prototype 3. Now, a few things to mention right at the beginning. 1. No, this is not actually a prototype. More on that in a bit. 2. Cronus is not a new brand, with their first watch launched quite a few years ago,...
RZE Endeavour Hands-On Watch Review
RZE Endeavour I review a lot of watches. While I always try and review a watch that I like, or at the very least see the potential in, not every watch blows my skirt up (I don’t wear skirts, but nothing wrong if you do). The RZE Endeavour is a watch that I was very much looking forward to getting in my hands. RZE is a new brand, with only one watch under their belt so far, the Endeavour...
Venturo SkinDiver Hands-On Review
Venturo SkinDiver The Venturo Skindiver is the third watch from the young upstart brand. Well, that’s not true though, as Venturo, for those that are not aware, is a brand under the umbrella of Gruppo Gamma. Originally the plan was to market Venturo on its own as a separate brand but time constraints from the owner and trying to push a new brand not associated with an already popular microbr...
Spinnaker Tesei Mille Metri Review
Spinnaker Tesei Mille Metri Spinnaker is a brand I have heavily covered here over the years. The latest piece is the Spinnaker Tesei Mille Metri and is retailing for $1,350. In the video above, I really get into the pricing issues with this watch, so I won’t belabor it here, but I will reiterate to make sure you use either the coupon code on the website or find a good coupon code onlin...
Reverie Diver Watch Review
Reverie Diver The Reverie Diver was released earlier this year through a successful Kickstarter campaign. As usual with most campaigns, there were incentives and early bird prices but even at the current sale price of $395 is quite the value in my opinion. For those not familiar with Reverie, the company started operations in 2014 and is based out of Singapore. Naming it just Diver was not their f...
Seiko Sumo Ice Diver Hands-On Review
Seiko Sumo Ice Diver [dropcap size=big]T[/dropcap]he Seiko Sumo Ice Diver is the latest of numerous Seiko Special Editions to hit the market. This model comes in 3 different colorways-all meant to be examples of colors that reflect off of glaciers, hence naming it “Ice Diver”. The result is two somewhat unique colors for Seiko-the silver/grey dial shown here and a light blue variant, a...
Audaz Sea Armour Watch Review
Audaz Sea Armour [dropcap size=big]L[/dropcap]ike many this year, everyone is looking for a deal, or something more affordable, and that extends to watches as well. The Audaz Sea Armour is listed at $400 on their website, but also listed on their website is the opportunity for 30% off by signing up for their newsletter. That brings the price of this large diver to $280, a pretty good price for all...
Ollech and Wajs C-1000 Diver Hands-On Review
Ollech and Wajs C-1000 Diver [dropcap size=big]V[/dropcap]intage, Vintage, Vintage. I say it all the time. Vintage is all the rage. The Ollech and Wajs C-1000 is a vintage inspired diver with a unique dial layout, custom made case, massive crown, and 1000m of water-resistance. The 60s and 70s had some great looking watches, most of them now iconic, so it makes sense to look to the past. Let&...
Rotary Super 7 Scuba Hands-On Review
Rotary Super 7 Scuba [dropcap size=big]S[/dropcap]ince Seiko announced last year that the SKX was indeed discontinued, watch enthusiasts have been eagerly waiting for a replacement. Rotary is not part of the Seiko family, but they have created the Rotary Super 7, a dive watch that could indeed be a replacement. The SKX007 was released in 1996 and quickly became one of the most popular dive watches...
