Resco R-TAC | Hands On Watch Review
Resco R-TAC Resco is definitely a different cat in the microbrand world. They are not the cheapest by far and actually might be the most expensive in their segment. The model I am reviewing today, the Resco R-TAC is a 44mm quartz piece that comes in at around $1100. There is no shortage of completion, that is for sure, so how can Resco justify their prices and more important, can you justify ...
Dan Henry 1968 | Watch Review
Dan Henry 1968 Dan Henry Watches are a hot commodity these days. Many, many watch enthusiasts have been grabbing at least one of the 5 different collections Dan Henry offers. There are good reasons for that. One, of course, is the price. They are very affordable with their most expensive model only being $250; that would be the compressor style diver I reviewed here a few months ago, the 1970. The...
Victorinox Swiss Army Titanium INOX : Watch Review
Victorinox Swiss Army Titanium INOX The Victorinox Swiss Army Titanium INOX is one of the latest versions of the INOX, and quite possibly my favorite so far. I know they have also recently released a forged/molded carbon fiber version, and though I have not seen that one in person, I think I can still safely say my favoritism lies with the titanium. I have quite a few reasons for that, which I wil...
Luminox Dress Field 1832 | Watch Review
Luminox Dress Field 1832 I have a soft spot for Luminox. It was the first “real” watch I purchased when I was about 16 years old. I got it from a now defunct store by the name of Service Merchandise, a popular store in the USA for some time. They sold many brands from Seiko to Tag Heuer, and of course Luminox. At the time, around 1996, Luminox was still making mostly resin cased watche...

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 ...
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...
Richardt & Mejer Signature | Watch Review
Richard & Mejer Signature Over the past few months I have had the opportunity to review quite a few minimalist style watches. The one thing that continually shined through were very simple designs and outside of a few gimmicks whether a splash of color or some sort of aesthetic modification to dial print, in the end all have been simple round case watches. Now please don’t get me wrong a...
Victorinox Swiss Army INOX Diver | Watch Review
Victorinox Swiss Army INOX Diver Debuting at Basel earlier this year, (along with a few other versions of the INOX), was the Victorinox Swiss Army INOX Diver. This updates the original version with an added dive bezel, and also a bump in size to 45mm. The price has stayed basically the same, so they did not go crazy with a price hike for a few added features and while overall I like the new INOX D...
Spinnaker Vessel | Watch Review
Spinnaker Vessel Wood watches have risen in popularity for the fashion watch segment in the past few years. The Spinnaker Vessel is one that combines wood and stainless steel, in a classic chronograph look that definitely lies in the fashion watch segment. Why do I say fashion watch? It is more about style over function in a sense. Mineral crystal and a Japanese quartz movement are the biggest thi...
