Origin Vintage Field Watch | Hands on Review
Origin Vintage Field Classic. Ageless. Timeless. These are all good descriptors for the Origin Vintage Field Watch. A watch that will always be in style, no matter what decade. Something you can wear whether you are 20 or 80. Boy, that sure does sound like an advertisement, but I do enjoy this watch. There is something about the simplicity that draws me in. Just because it is not flashy does not m...
William L. 1985 Vintage Diver | Hands on Watch Review
William L.1985 Vintage Diver Vintage. It is a word that is said a lot these days. I cannot even begin to count how many watches I see or review that are vintage or retro inspired. It is the trend these days, for how long; who knows, but many brands will ride the train until we are on to the next trend. Many brands are coming out with vintage designs these days but not many are doing vintage sizing...
Formex Element | Hands on Watch Review
Formex Element Uniqueness. This is something you do not find a lot of with watches these days. That is mostly because there are so many brands and lets face, it has been done before. When the Formex Element showed up at my door and I unboxed it (on video, check our Youtube), I immediately thought, damn, this is unique. Now, it turns out it is not as unique as I originally thought because it does t...
Obris Morgan Infinity | Hands On Watch Review
Obris Morgan Infinity Every time Obris Morgan releases a new model there is a frenzy to grab one. This time was no different with the Obris Morgan Infinity. A few months ago they released the Infinity on a preorder, but only 200 were released. Another 300 is set to be released shortly. The preorder sold out in minutes for those first 200 pieces. Why? Well, Obris at this point makes rugged looking ...
Erroyl Duke Melrose | Hands on Watch Review
Erroyl Duke Melrose I’m not one for dress watches these days as I rarely put on the business attire. My tastes still tend to gravitate towards dive or field watches but a dress watch is nice to have in the lineup. I have never been overly fond of the traditional dress watch, you know; super thin, a thin bracelet or leather strap and a dial you can barely read with small hands and numbers. Th...
Nethuns Lava Bronze | Hands on Watch Review
Nethuns Lava Bronze I believe it was a comment on Youtube, where I posted the unboxing video of this Nethuns Lava Bronze, (If you have not checked them out yet, go to our Youtube channel for unboxing of all new watches that come in for review), where someone said that the bronze “fad” is over. Now I have always been upfront when reviewing a bronze watch that it is not my first pick at ...
Nauticfish Thusunt | Hands on Watch Review
Nauticfish Thusunt As I have said many times before, In the world of watches, the competition is fierce. You may have not heard of Nauticfish if you are newer to the watch world, but they have been around for at least 10 years. They are brand that honestly had dropped off my radar for a bit, until I saw them posting about this new model on social media. The new model is the Nauticfish Thusunt (Tho...
Hanhart Primus Diver | Hands on Watch Review
Hanhart Primus Diver I can easily say I have fallen in love with Hanhart Watches. I have always admired them from afar but it wasn’t until recently that I got a chance to review one, the Hanhart Pioneer MK I, back in July. I absolutely adore that watch, for many reasons. That brings us to the topic of this review, the Hanhart Primus Diver. While I may not be as emphatic about this model as I...
Helgray TCD-01 | Hands on Watch Review
Helgray TCD-01 Affordable watches sure have come a long way in the past 15 years or so. Before the internet that we have today and the surge of microbrands over the past decade, the affordable watches consisted of Timex and the like, Fossil, Guess, etc. To get anything really decent you were looking at probably around $400 and it was usually a Citizen or Seiko. The landscape has obviously ch...
Momentum Fieldwalker | Hands-On Watch Review
Momentum Fieldwalker I am not sure if many watch enthusiasts have been asking for a Damsko homage, but that is what the Momentum Fieldwalker is, at least to me. While I don’t know if that was the intention of Momentum or not, I would find it hard to believe they did not notice a resemblance. The Fieldwalker is not an exact copy of a Damasko, there are a good amount of differences of c...
Lum-tec Abyss 400m | Hands on Watch Review
Lum-tec Abyss 400m You ever not like a watch only to find yourself really digging it later on? Well, that is what happened to me with the Lum-tec Abyss 400m. It took a few years, as it was just not on my radar anymore, and it started with the 600m version. I go into detail about this in the video, so I will not drag on about it here, but it is something that rarely happens. Let me be clear, I neve...
E.C. Andersson North Sea II | Hands on Watch Review
E.C. Andersson North Sea II The E.C. Andersson North Sea II is of course the second version of this model, the first was funded through Kickstarter. It is a watch that can be used for all occasions, out on the sea, in the board room, the dining room and with your t-shirt and jeans for a casual day in the town. As the website states-“The Scandinavian way of design is clean...
