Minus 8 Diver Titanium | Watch Review
Minus 8 Diver In the world of dive watches, sometimes they can all start to look the same. Sub style, cushion case and even cases like the Oris TT1 and Aquis are the more traditional. Minus 8 is a brand that likes to deviate a little from the norm, and with that comes the Minus 8 Diver, the first dive watch from the California based company. Being forthcoming, I do prefer the traditional, but that...
Stowa Flieger Klassik 40 Ikarus | Watch Review
Stowa Flieger Klassik 40 Ikarus When it comes to Flieger style watches, we tend to think of large or over-sized watches, as that is what they were historically. Stowa has a line of Flieger models that have the aesthetics of pilot watches from the past, but in an array of sizes to fit all wrists. Today I review the Stowa Flieger Klassik 40 Ikarus, a beautiful 40mm German Made wristwatch, with an el...
Mondaine Stop2Go | Watch Review
Mondaine Stop2Go From time to time it’s fun to discuss something a bit different as far as watches are concerned. Today, so many watches are just a dime a dozen and quite simply look and function like every other watch on the market. Reviewing a watch is even more enjoyable when you get to take a closer look at a watch brand that some may have never heard of or knew very little for the most ...
AVI-8 HAWKER HARRIER II Pegasus Concept | Watch Review
AVI-8 HAWKER HARRIER II Pegasus Concept As many of you know, AVI-8 has been discussed a plethora of times on WatchReport.com by myself and a colleague. I have mentioned many times how much I admire their watch styles even though I am more of a dive watch guy, however, their newest release I tend to like just about as much. AVI-8 is very well known, dare I say cult following, for outstanding budget...
Momentum Torpedo Blast | Watch Review
Momentum Torpedo Blast It is rare to find an ultra affordable watch with quality components and a nice design. At least not the quality most watch enthusiasts look for. Now, when I say ultra affordable, I know $150 is still considered a lot to the general public to spend on a watch, and while there are many Seiko and Citizen watches out there in this price range, I think this Momentum Torpedo Blas...
Gruppo Gamma Divemaster | Watch Review
Gruppo Gamma Divemaster One of the great things about being a reviewer is getting to see a brand grow. I have reviewed quite a few Gruppo Gamma watches over the years and they have come a long way from the very first model I reviewed. The Gruppo Gamma Divemaster is by far the best watch the company has produced to date, as it should be. Any company that produces a product should always strive to i...
Dan Henry 1970 | Watch Review
Dan Henry 1970 It is not very often that I am genuinely surprised by a watch I get in for review here at Watchreport. Most of the time I have a good idea of what the watch is going to be beforehand, but in the case of the Dan Henry 1970, I had no idea what to expect. Saying I was pleasantly surprised would be an understatement. Now, let me be clear, so there is no confusion, as some people like to...
Panzera Aquamarine | Watch Review
Panzera Aquamarine Are you ready for a glimpse of another new micro-brand watch model? I know it seems these days the market is just flat out flooded with tons of different watch brands along with many different styles. However, it is always refreshing when a watch company steps away from their comfort zone like Panzera has done with the Aquamarine 45. All the past watch models from Panzera could ...
AVI-8 Hawker Hurricane Battle of Britain | Watch Review
AVI-8 Hawker Hurricane Battle of Britain AVI-8 has been discussed numerous times on this blog by myself and a colleague. I admire the vast majority of their styles but have to admit I am more of a dive watch guy so admiration is about as far as it goes. All of the watches I have reviewed really fall in the realm of budgetary pilot watches, which is the focus of the company. This model, the AVI-8 H...
Eterna Super KonTiki Chronograph | Watch Review
Eterna Super KonTiki Chronograph When it comes to spending $4700 on a wristwatch, this is not a decision most watch enthusiasts take lightly. The fact is, that is a huge chunk of change and in that price range of luxury watches, there are countless options. If you are reading this review, I am pretty sure you read other review sites as well (Don’t worry, it’s okay). I do so from time t...
TWCO Salvage Diver | Watch Reveiw
TWCO Salvage Diver Every time I turn around there seems to be another micro-brand watch company releasing a new watch of some sort. I am becoming more finicky these days when it comes to dive watches as I find myself more drawn to this style than any other. So, I find it very refreshing when a micro-brand company releases a superbly finished watch at an affordable price packed with quality specifi...
Spinnaker Tavolara | Watch Review
Spinnaker Tavolara The latest in the vintage inspired lineup from Spinnaker is the Tavolara. From the website, this model was named after the small island off the northeast coast of Sardinia, Italy which is a haven for scuba divers due to its incredible array of coral and marine life. I would say that is a good name to give to a dual crown dive style watch, though for the watch itself, I woul...
