Rotary Regent Hands-On Review
Rotary Regent The trend continues. What trend? Gerald Genta-inspired pieces. This time it is the Rotary Regent. If you are not familiar with Rotary, they are a British brand that has been around for 125 years and these days, most of their watches are manufactured and assembled in Asia. I have reviewed a few Rotary watches in recent years, such as the Henley GMT and the Super7 Scuba. Both of those ...
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...
Tutima M2 Pioneer Chronograph Hands-On Review
Tutima M2 Pioneer Chronograph There is no doubt that the Tutima M2 Pioneer Chronograph is an attractive watch, as most German-designed watches are. But here at Watchreport, I do not review watches the same way everyone else does. Most sites try to be wordsmiths and tend to highlight the watch in a positive way. I just don’t do that. Instead, I do, what you probably do. I look at the watch ov...
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,...
Trintec ZULU COM-01 Hands-On Review
Trintec ZULU COM-01 Have you been looking for a new watch? Waffling between diver or pilot watch? The Trintec ZULU COM-01 is the best of both worlds, combining a pilot-style dial and hands with a timing bezel in a rugged, no-nonsense chunky diver-style case. This ZULU watch is also 200m water-resistant with a screw-down crown and follows a similar design language to other ZULU watches from Trintec...
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...
Victorinox FieldForce Titanium LE Hands-On Review
Victorinox FieldForce Titanium LE In the world of watches, there seems to be some sort of weird stigma around quartz watches. At one point in time, I shared this opinion myself, but I feel if a watch is attractive and well made, the fact that it is quartz does not bother me all that much. The Victorinox FieldForce Titanium LE (quite a mouthful huh?) is a classic looking piece and the first of two ...
MeisterSinger Astroscope Hands-On Review
MeisterSinger Astroscope Have you ever said to yourself, day and date is nice on a watch, but I would love if there were some celestial bodies I could correlate with the days? Well, MeisterSinger has a watch for you then! Yes, the MeisterSinger Astroscope combines horology and astronomy together, along with a one-handed mechanism to give you a watch that some would call quirky; I’ll label it...
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...
Seiko 5 Sports Review-The New SKX?
Seiko 5 Sports In 2019 Seiko did something none of us were prepared for-they discontinued the Seiko SKX. In 2020, Seiko released its apparent replacement, the Seiko 5 Sports series. These new models come in a copious amount of variations, so those who used to love to mod their SKX will be happy to see so many different models available, though they all include the same handset and overall dial lay...
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...
MeisterSinger Salthora Meta X Watch Review
MeisterSinger Salthora Meta X In the world of watch collecting and horology in general, jumping hour complications are not exactly the norm. MeisterSinger only produces single-handed pieces though, and they make quite the array of models, not just one or two. The MesiterSinger Salthora Meta X I have in hand for review is a cross between a traditional jump hour complication and a dive watch of sort...
