Watch Review – Magrette Vantage Bronze
Bronze watches. Are they a phenomenon, a fad, or a craze? Well, I do not think they are a phenomenon; after all, it is just another metal being used to make watch cases. As far as a fad or a craze, well, bronze watches have been popular in the watch scene for the past 4 years or so, and it does not seem like it is slowing down. From Panerai to micro brands, everyone is trying their hand at bronze....
German Precision Watches (GPW) Titanium Military Watch Review
German Precision Watches (GPW) Titanium Military Watch I’m sure there are many watch enthusiasts that enjoy German military style watches like myself, but also like myself are not fond of the 1K plus retail prices on most if not all of the well known brands. Now I know first hand many of those 1K plus German military style watches are of superior quality but have always wondered if a budget ...
Helberg CH8 Watch Review
In the micro brand world there are a few extremely popular watch brands, and this one I am discussing today, Helberg, is near the top for sure. For those not familiar, Helberg is sort of the sister brand of H2O watches. Both are geared mainly towards dive watches, though Helberg did release a model that was more a pilot style. The difference between the two is there are not as many options with He...
MARC & SONS 1000M Professional Watch Review
MARC & SONS, a German based company, is a brand that previously splashed down on WatchReport’s pages when we reviewed their 300m Professional Automatik Taucheruhr Dive Watch in February of this year. Since then, little has changed in terms of their philosophy, but it appears their Professional Dive Watch line has been busy beefing up for its WatchReport.com debut, bringing 1000 meters of...
Tire’d Watch Company Rapide Watch Review
When it comes to a watch that is rugged looking and can handle a lot of impact, most people would look to a G-shock. But these days, watch enthusiasts are looking for something a little more “collector” orientated, or one that has many of the things we look for in a more upscale watch, but with that rugged and hard use quality built in. Swiss Army has come out with a watch called the I...
Gruppo Gamma Vanguard Watch Review
Gruppo Gamma Vanguard Watch Review Gruppo Gamma. It might be a brand you have heard of , and it may not be. Either way, right up front, Gruppo Gamma for the most part, produces homage watches, mostly Panerai inspired homage watches. Now, I know some people have issue with homage watches, but Gruppo Gamma has become a popular brand in the internet watch community, and I decided to review one here f...
Magrette Leoncino Watch Review
When many of us think of Magrette Watches, some pretty cool round dive watches and custom engraved case designs come to mind. Magrette has most certainly always produced a quality product, but outside of some of the custom case engraving their watch models had a very similar appearance, up until now, with the release of the Leoncino. The Leoncino is quite different from past productions drawing in...

Charmex Swiss Military Conger Nero Auto Review
Charmex Swiss Military Conger Nero Auto Review
Lately I have been reviewing a lot of boutique or micro brands. They are all great values for the most part, but today we get to talk about a more mainstream brand; one that is known for their deep divers such as the record-breaking 20,000ft diver. Today, we take a look at the Charmex Swiss Military Conger Nero Auto, in DLC. The Conger Nero Auto is not their deepest dive watch, but still comes in ...
LIV Genesis X1 Review
I am always excited to get my hands on something new in the watch world. Recently, I was able to get a glimpse of an exciting new brand getting their start on Kickstarter.com, LIV Watches. I have had the opportunity to speak with the owner of the company over the phone, and have also had the opportunity to exchange emails with other company representatives. Through this contact, I was able to gath...
