Marloe Solent Cardinal Watch Review
Marloe Solent Cardinal The watch industry is full of dive watches, which makes sense as the public has shown with their money that a dive watch is what most want. But not everyone wants a dive watch, and while we have pilot watches, field watches, and more, there is another subset of watch styles, which I refer to as the casual sport watch. That brings me to my review today of the Marloe Solent Ca...
Ball Skindiver Heritage Watch Review
Ball Skindiver Heritage If you are looking for a Skindiver, you have a lot to choose from when it comes to Ball Watch Company. This one here, the Ball Engineer Master II Skindiver Heritage (its full name), which I will refer to throughout the review as the Ball Skiniver Heritage, is one of many available on the Ball website. At first glance, it is kind of overload if you search Skindiver and you w...
Ocean Crawler Palomino Island Champion Diver
Ocean Crawler Palomino Island The very first watch released from Ocean Crawler was the Champion Diver, and now there is a very slightly updated version, the Ocean Crawler Palomino Island Champion Diver. That is quite a mouthful, I think most will refer to them as the new Champion Diver, but what you need to know is that the only differences are new dials and 3 colors of said new dial. The one show...
A look at the Seiko Presage Style 60s
Seiko Presage Style 60s Retro is king these days and as such, almost every brand is releasing watches with a style from the 60s and 70s. Seiko is no slouch when it comes to new models, so they have brought out the Seiko Presage Style 60s, a watch that takes from the 1964 Seiko Crown Chronograph. Available in 2 different styles (three-hand and open heart) and 5 different colors, I chose this dark g...
Titoni Seascoper 600 Hands-On Review
Titoni Seascoper 600 Titoni is quite an intriguing watch brand. I have talked about Titoni a lot in the past; They are still an independently owned Swiss Watch brand, and they have been producing watches since 1919 (Under the name Felco). While a good amount of their lineup doesn’t excite me, the Seascoper line is one I have always been fond of. The latest incarnation, the Titoni Seascoper 6...
Zodiac Topper Edition Sea Wolf GMT Hands-On Review
Zodiac Topper Edition Sea Wolf GMT Sea Wolf or Super Sea Wolf? Well, this limited edition, is a Topper Exclusive, with only 182 pieces being made. The official name being the Zodiac Sea Wolf GMT ‘Crystal’ Topper Edition. What you have is a color variant of the popular Zodiac Super Sea Wolf GMT, formerly the Aerospace GMT. This watch comes in a lot of colorways, but this Pepsi GMT ...
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...
RZE Valour Chronograph Hands-On Review
RZE Valour Chronograph RZE Watches has really hit the ground running. Their first watch, the Resolute was very well received, but the Endeavour that I reviewed really took off, with all the preorders selling out before expected delivery. Now, their third watch, the RZE Valour Chronograph is about to hit the scene. Unlike their first two offerings, based on the same case design, the Valour is more ...
William Wood Valiant Hands-On Review
William Wood Valiant The William Wood Valiant is the third model from the London-based (designed but not manufactured) brand. The Valiant collection is available in numerous different color combos, the one shown here is the Rose Gold, but below you will see pics of the other stainless steel offerings. Bronze cases are also available, but I chose the Rose because it was a little bit different and s...
VERO Crown Point Hands-On Review
Vero Crown Point New on the scene is the Vero Crown Point, part of the Open Water series, from the Portland-based microbrand. There are two models in the series currently, the Crown Point shown here and the North Coast, which has a grey dial and bezel combination. I chose to review the dark blue dial with DLC bezel and crown because I love the contrast, especially with the bright white hands and i...
Ergon Adventum Hands-On Review
Ergon Adventum Have you purchased a Genta-inspired microbrand yet? They have been all the rage the past year and a half, for some reason or another, and here is another one, the Ergon Adventum. I think I have reviewed at least five different Genta designs myself here at Watchreport, but that does not even scratch the surface. There are many others, some on preorder right now, some I didn’t w...
Ball Engineer Hydrocarbon DeepQUEST II Review
Ball Engineer Hydrocarbon DeepQUEST II The Ball Engineer Hydrocarbon Deepquest II is an update to a popular dive watch from the famed Swiss Brand. The original Deepquest was a great-looking watch but had a little too much of the DNA from the regular Hydrocarbon series. This second version updates this deep diver to not only stand out a little more but also includes some great updates such as the H...
