Scurfa Diver One 2.0 | Hands on Watch Review
Scurfa Diver One 2.0 The dive watch. We all love them. Well, at least I do. What is better than a really well built, classic looking dive watch? An affordable one. Yes, the Scurfa Diver One 2.0 is using a quartz movement, but it is also $234 shipped and it has all the bells and whistles we look for, including a custom made rubber strap. An evolution to the Rolex Comex divers, and an evolution to i...
Spinnaker Fleuss | Hands on Watch Review
Spinnaker Fleuss Spinnaker has released two new diver watches into their ever growing model lineup and sent me two variations. The case on all Spinnaker Fleuss models is the same across the board, but as you can see, these two have different bezels, dials and crown. Both are vintage style divers, most notably taking inspiration from the Blancpain Fifty Fathoms. Other colors of each are available a...
CT Scuderia Coda Corta | Hands on Watch Review
CT Scuderia Coda Corta I am sure this has happened to many of you; you see a watch online, you look at some photos, and you say, I like that watch. You like it so much, you order it, only to get it in hand and not like it so much. Well, in a similar way, that has happened to me. I was asked by CT Scuderia if I would like to do a review and given a choice of models. I looked a few, and picked this ...
Resco R-TAC | Hands On Watch Review
Resco R-TAC Resco is definitely a different cat in the microbrand world. They are not the cheapest by far and actually might be the most expensive in their segment. The model I am reviewing today, the Resco R-TAC is a 44mm quartz piece that comes in at around $1100. There is no shortage of completion, that is for sure, so how can Resco justify their prices and more important, can you justify ...
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...
Votum Watches Heritage | Hands on Review
Votum Watches Heritage Another hibernating brand has been brought back to life, this time Votum. I have had the Votum Watches Heritage model in hand for a few weeks and I must say there is a lot I like about it, and a few things I do not. But first, who were Votum Watches and who brought them back out of deep sleep? Well, two Swiss Designers, François Zahnd – Owner and C...
Zelos Helmsman 2 | Hands on Watch Review
Zelos Helmsman 2 Zelos Watches is a brand that is pretty popular these days in the microbrand online watch world, but it was just a few years ago that they introduced their first watch, the Zelos Helmsman. I reviewed that very first watch here on Watchreport, and it was one of my first reviews here as well. (You can search on the site to find that original review, though I worn you t...
Gorilla Watches Fastback | Hands On Review
Gorilla Watches Fastback Octavio Garcia, the man behind the Gorilla Watches Fastback, is the former Creative Director at Audemars Piguet. Yep, Audemars Piguet, one of the most well known luxury watch brands in the world. Instead of going to another high profile competitor, Octavio decided to start his own brand, Gorilla Watches, and his first model is obviously race car and fashion d...
Kronaby Apex Connected Watch | Hands on Review
Kronaby Apex Connected Watch I am a traditional watch guy. It is just the way I am wired. I have no real love for digital watches, and the regular smart watch just makes me cringe. I guess you can say I am a purist, at least when it comes to watches. I think of a watch as part of me, it is not just a tool to tell time or a piece of jewelry, it is an extension of my personality. Now, don&rsq...
