Borealis Bull Shark | Watch Review
Borealis Bull Shark So, we have another homage here. This time it is a touch different. The Borealis Bull Shark homages a watch that is not currently produced. That would be the Original Rolex Sub from 1953. (I incorrectly misspoke in the video and said Tudor). Microbrands have their place in the watch world, and it is great when one of these brands produce something original and for a more ...
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 ...
AVI-8 HAWKER HARRIER II Pegasus Concept | Watch Review
AVI-8 HAWKER HARRIER II Pegasus Concept As many of you know, AVI-8 has been discussed a plethora of times on WatchReport.com by myself and a colleague. I have mentioned many times how much I admire their watch styles even though I am more of a dive watch guy, however, their newest release I tend to like just about as much. AVI-8 is very well known, dare I say cult following, for outstanding budget...
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...
