All the watches that you see on review are in my personal collection. I’ve paid for these with my own cash, so rest assured that my thoughts and feedback are completely my own.
An entry-level luxury everyday watch is, as the name suggests, vague. Around that $2000 price point, the watch market is extremely saturated, competitive, and frankly, often leads to endless navigation. There are so many great watches from both heritage brands and high-performing microbrands that finding something truly standout isn’t easy. But then the new Longines …

$500 Explorer homage—now that’s a phrase I’ve typed into Google more times than I’d care to admit. Homages in the watch world are a somewhat iffy topic. Watch enthusiasts have a love/hate relationship with homages. And depending on who you ask, cough, snobs, it’s most often hate. Try going into the Rolex Reddit forum and asking for their opinion …

The term EDC Watch immediately conjures images of a robust yet subtle timepiece—a watch picked up in the morning without much care for what might happen throughout the day. Then, to finish the day, you place it next to your bedside table alongside your wallet, personal carry, and perhaps a knife or a multi-tool. It’s that everyday essential …
No, I am not paid to review Christopher Ward’s C60 Trident. I paid for this with my own money, as always. Though I do wish Christopher Ward would sponsor me though I’ve done them mega-justice over the past 12 months. Not that they need me anyway, Christopher Ward has grown exponentially in the past few …

The best G Shock for smaller wrists – now that’s a term I’ve searched countless times. You might not know this but the first watch I bought with my own money was the DW5600-MS1. I just thought the negative display was the coolest thing in the world. And also it was the only thing I …

The term best affordable grand seiko would’ve never appeared in anyone’s search history a decade ago. Quite frankly, barely anyone knew the existence of Grand Seiko, and if they did? “Are you out of your mind? Why are you spending more than a few hundred dollars for a Seiko?” Now imagine telling them that Grand …
The best field watch under $2000 will always be a contentious topic. At this price point, the market is highly saturated and it’s packed with competition. I’ve always recognized the Sinn 556i as the best bang-per-buck timepiece under $2000, and that’s that. However, it’s an older model and Sinn hasn’t exactly kept it updated throughout …

When it comes to the best affordable chronograph for small wrists, there’s only one winner. As a matter of fact, there is really only one player. The truth is, chronographs aren’t meant to be worn small. And unlike three-handers, chronographs involve additional parts and machinery – so it’s never THAT affordable. Having been a watch …

Long story short, I’m impressed. Well that’s because I did not expect to enjoy the Oris Aquis Relief when I got it in a trade. Two things right. First, it well exceeds the 38mm comfort zone my skinny wrists. At 41.5mm, with the listed dimensions, I had practically bet my life savings it would wear …
