Zelos Horizon GMT | Hands-On Review
Zelos Horizon GMT If you follow this website and our Youtube channel, it is very apparent that I have a lot of love for Zelos Watches. The always evolving microbrand just seems to get it right more often than not and with the Zelos Horizon GMT, they definitely got it right. This new model is in a competitive market, especially with the Halios Seaforth being so popular, and while there is no doubt ...
Outsiders Revolution | Hands-On Watch Review
Outsiders Revolution Today, we are going to veer off the normal review path a little. I am sure many know that Baselworld is almost over at the time of publication and Outsiders Watches apparently made a spectacle at the watch fair, or so they have said. Their first watch, the Outsiders Revolution diver is a $500 Swiss Made Submariner style homage and there is a lot to delve into when it come...
BOLDR Globetrotter GMT | Hands-On Review
BOLDR Globetrotter GMT If the BOLDR Globetrotter GMT looks somewhat familiar to you, that would be because it is an evolution of the BOLDR Odyessy, a watch I reviewed HERE last year. The Odyessy was a very nice watch, but a little on the large size for myself and others, and also a little more fashion over function, at least for me. The Globetrotter is smaller in diameter but also has quite a...
PWR Collective’s Journey Ascent Watch That Powers Individualization
PWR Collective’s Journey Ascent Watch That Powers Individualization Watchmakers often want their timepieces to speak to wearers beyond having something good-looking on their wrist. An appealing watch will often evoke emotions and offer a glimpse into the character of the wearer. Few new watch brands get this more than PWR (pronounced ‘Power’), which is readying its first release ...
JORD Watches: Wooden Timepieces Done Right
JORD Watches: Wooden Timepieces Done Right Standing out from the crowd is easier said than done when designing and crafting a watch. Over the years, we have seen watchmakers turn to various gimmicks and unique designs to appeal to wearers. One of those unique flourishes has been the wooden timepiece, which if done well can be elegant, but if done poorly can look and feel cheap. JORD is a company t...
Raven Venture | Hands-On Review
Raven Venture Before I get into the nuts and bolts of the Raven Venture, let me just say that Raven Watches have a special place in my heart, or better yet a special meaning in the watch world for me. For those that are not aware, the current Raven Watches is run by Steve Laughlin, who was also partners in Benarus Watches for a long time as well. My first microbrand purchase was a Benar...
Zelos Swordfish | Hands On Watch Review
Zelos Swordfish If you are a frequent reader here at Watchreport, you know that I am a big fan of Zelos Watches. Every new release, including this Zelos Swordfish, always impresses me. Now, these watches are obviously not Haute Horlogerie or some luxury watch, but for the price paid, these watches really give the competition a run for the money. At $649, this Swordfish dive watch comes equipp...
Victorinox INOX Mechanical | Hands On Watch Review
Victorinox INOX Mechanical Since the debut of the original Victorinox, INOX, watch enthusiasts have been clamoring for an automatic version. This year, at Baselworld, Victorinox introduced the Victorinox INOX Mechanical, and it was just released this fall. The new automatic retains much of the same look of the original but now with an ETA 2824 instead of a quartz movement and a few added touches s...
Helm Vanuatu Version 4 | Updated Review
Helm Vanuatu Version 4 It is quite rare for a brand to not only update and improve on their watch, but also drop the price significantly as well. That is the case with the Helm Vanuatu Version 4. As I dicuss in the video above, almost 3 years ago, I reviewed the original version of the Vanuatu. I had a quite a few issues and stated that if they were rectified, that it would be a fantastic watch. H...
Ocean Crawler Lume Rush | Hands On Watch Review
Ocean Crawler Lume Rush I am not a diver, nor have I ever claimed to be. I just happen to love dive watches. Being real, this watch I am reviewing today might never be used for diving either, though I am pretty sure as far as construction goes, it could handle it. The Ocean Crawler Lume Rush Diver is not your typical dive watch, especially with the sandwich cut-out dial, but it is fun to look at, ...
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...
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...
