LIV GX-Diver’s Automatic Watch Review
LIV GX-Diver’s Automatic LIV Watches started out about 6 years ago wanting to create an affordable automatic chronograph, and they did just that, and their first Kickstarter Campaign hit over 1 million dollars. They have done quite a few Kickstarter’s over the years but you can also buy the majority of their watches from their website, including this LIV GX-Diver’s Automatic. Thi...
Rvlvr SD-1 Red Pool Review
Rvlvr SD-1 Red Pool Have you ever wished you can be as cool as Deadpool? Well, now you can with the Rvlvr SD-1 Red Pool Dive watch! Okay, not really. Actually, buying the watch will not make you cool at all, unless you are already cool, but let’s face it, you’re not as cool as Deadpool. That’s just impossible. But, if you are looking for a budget-ish microbrand watch, that has a ...
Ball Skindiver Heritage Watch Review
Ball Skindiver Heritage If you are looking for a Skindiver, you have a lot to choose from when it comes to Ball Watch Company. This one here, the Ball Engineer Master II Skindiver Heritage (its full name), which I will refer to throughout the review as the Ball Skiniver Heritage, is one of many available on the Ball website. At first glance, it is kind of overload if you search Skindiver and you w...
Ocean Crawler Palomino Island Champion Diver
Ocean Crawler Palomino Island The very first watch released from Ocean Crawler was the Champion Diver, and now there is a very slightly updated version, the Ocean Crawler Palomino Island Champion Diver. That is quite a mouthful, I think most will refer to them as the new Champion Diver, but what you need to know is that the only differences are new dials and 3 colors of said new dial. The one show...
A look at the Seiko Presage Style 60s
Seiko Presage Style 60s Retro is king these days and as such, almost every brand is releasing watches with a style from the 60s and 70s. Seiko is no slouch when it comes to new models, so they have brought out the Seiko Presage Style 60s, a watch that takes from the 1964 Seiko Crown Chronograph. Available in 2 different styles (three-hand and open heart) and 5 different colors, I chose this dark g...
Titoni Seascoper 600 Hands-On Review
Titoni Seascoper 600 Titoni is quite an intriguing watch brand. I have talked about Titoni a lot in the past; They are still an independently owned Swiss Watch brand, and they have been producing watches since 1919 (Under the name Felco). While a good amount of their lineup doesn’t excite me, the Seascoper line is one I have always been fond of. The latest incarnation, the Titoni Seascoper 6...
Duzu Coral Bay Hands-On Review
Duzu Coral Bay Tired of the small watch trend? Looking for something that is a little more rugged and chunky? Well, Duzu Watches is going on Kickstarter soon with the Duzu Coral Bay, or the DW-D2 as it’s printed on the dial. I have had this watch in hand for a good month or so, and I have been quite impressed with it. The Coral Bay will only be available with a black dial but don’t wor...
RZE Valour Chronograph Hands-On Review
RZE Valour Chronograph RZE Watches has really hit the ground running. Their first watch, the Resolute was very well received, but the Endeavour that I reviewed really took off, with all the preorders selling out before expected delivery. Now, their third watch, the RZE Valour Chronograph is about to hit the scene. Unlike their first two offerings, based on the same case design, the Valour is more ...

Hanhart Pioneer Preventor9 Hands-On Review
Hanhart Pioneer Preventor9 I definitely would not call the Hanhart Pioneer Preventor9 the black sheep of the Hanhart lineup, but it surely does not get the same love as say the Pioneer One, the Monocontrol, the 417ES etc. Why is that? I am not sure. Maybe because of marketing, maybe because it lacks the rotating bezle and iconic red marker, but I am here to change that. Well, not really, as this i...
William Wood Valiant Hands-On Review
William Wood Valiant The William Wood Valiant is the third model from the London-based (designed but not manufactured) brand. The Valiant collection is available in numerous different color combos, the one shown here is the Rose Gold, but below you will see pics of the other stainless steel offerings. Bronze cases are also available, but I chose the Rose because it was a little bit different and s...
VERO Crown Point Hands-On Review
Vero Crown Point New on the scene is the Vero Crown Point, part of the Open Water series, from the Portland-based microbrand. There are two models in the series currently, the Crown Point shown here and the North Coast, which has a grey dial and bezel combination. I chose to review the dark blue dial with DLC bezel and crown because I love the contrast, especially with the bright white hands and i...
