Magrette MPP Diver Steel | Watch Review
Magrette MPP Diver Steel Magrette has released their updated version of the MPP Diver, (Moana Pacific Pro), which has a slightly new look and an upgraded Swiss movement. A few years back I reviewed the first version and overall I was quite satisfied with it. I think I can say the same for this new version, though I think the makeover could have been a little more extreme. The Magrette MPP Diver St...
Gavox Avidiver | Watch Review
Gavox Avidiver I have had the opportunity to look over watches from Gavox in the past. I have admired each model and thought the company did a pretty good job overall with aviation themed watches. Solid looks and solid components were a given but I was wondering when the company would release an automatic watch and maybe a dive style watch. Well now I have the opportunity to examine just such a wa...
Ginault Ocean Rover | Watch Review
Ginault Ocean Rover If controversy creates cash, then the Ginault Ocean Rover must be selling like hotcakes, as the controversy was one of the main reasons I wanted to review this watch. If you have not watched the 17 minute video above, I suggest you do before reading my comments here, as I discuss most of the controversy surrounding the Ginault Ocean Rover and some of the brands responses...
Vilhelm Elemental | Watch Review
Vilhelm Elemental The Vilhelm Elemental is not the type of watch I would choose to wear or buy. That is about as honest as I can get. Then why am I reviewing it you ask? Well, I review many watches that I would not normally wear, I mean it only makes sense that I don’t love every watch I review. It would be complete B.S. if I said that. We all have different tastes and styles, and of course ...
McDowell Time Delray | Watch Review
McDowell Time Delray I admire new watch companies trying to make a footprint in a rather saturated industry. Every time I turn around someone else is trying to release a new watch on Kickstarter or other outlets. The problem regardless of the outlet utilized is incredibly hit or miss as far as making any sort of impact. Tired designs and lack of anything even remotely refreshing many times just le...
Pantor Sealion | Watch Review
Pantor Sealion I have to say, when I first saw the Pantor Sealion go up for preorder, I was a little befuddled. Not because I thought the watch was unattractive or overpriced, but because I felt the design has been done many times before. Let’s face it, this case design or very similar has been used by iconic brands such as Eterna, Aquadive and many microbrands the past few years. It is that...
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...
Formex AS1100 Chronograph | Watch Review
Formex AS1100 Chronograph Things are changing in the watch world, and have been the past few years. There is a lot of competition in the marketplace with new brands popping up all the time, and along with a bad economy, and we have seen some brands have to close their doors or sell the company just to keep it afloat. Formex Watches saw the changes happening, and recently they have changed th...
Elliot Brown Tyneham | Watch Review
Elliot Brown Tyneham The Elliot Brown Tyneham is a hard use watch that does not necessarily look like the typical hard use watch. Think the INOX, but without all the marketing hype. When I say marketing hype, I am not trying to downplay the INOX, I have reviewed 2 different models here on Watchreport. I think they just went a little overboard with the marketing. With the Tyneham, there are some gr...
GSD Pilot | Watch Review
GSD Pilot The GSD Pilot is the first watch from custom strap maker Greg Stevens. If you are familiar with custom straps, you probably know who that is. For those that don’t, Greg has been making custom leather watch straps and accessories since the mid 2000’s and was one of the first custom strap makers on the scene. His venture into watches has been a slow one. A few years ago ...
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 ...
