Owner Review: Halios Fairwind – 39mm blue beauty with killer bracelet
I first saw the Halios Fairwind on Instagram. While Jason Lim at Halios doesn’t post very often, somehow the IG algorithm read my mind and dangled this shiny object before my eyes. Halios watches tend to re-sell at a premium, but what really drew me to the Fairwind is the bracelet with on-the-fly adjustability. EVERY…

Owner Review: Rolex Oyster Perpetual 39mm 114300
The Rolex Oyster Perpetual 39mm 114300 white dial or as some might call it, matte silver dial, is a very classy watch that also enjoys a minimalistic style. It is a great every day watch as it fits pretty much every occasion and goes with almost every outfit. It really can handle anything you might…

Dan Henry 1975 Automatic Skin Diver Owner Review by @archiepeterson1303
The Dan Henry 1975 Automatic Skin Diver is a fun, colourful and retro styled skin diver, meaning it features only 150m of water resistance as opposed to the typical 200-300m of other dive watches. This means that whilst you can certainly swim with it, I wouldn’t recommend diving whilst wearing it. However this lack of…

An Aquastar is a True Star: Owner Review by @grandcruwatches
I had two divers in my collection: the Rolex Sea-Dweller 116600 and the Seiko Marinemaster 300 SBDX001. Both watches are fabulous in their own right, but they share a similar style and feel on the wrist. I was lusting for something fresh and different. So, I bid farewell to the Marinemaster and welcomed the Aquastar…

Owner review: Tudor Black Bay 58 925
When I first tried the Tudor Black Bay 58 925 I didn’t like it. Why would one make a waterproof/dive watch with an easily scratching metal and a leather strap? And the taupe dial didn’t pop in the harsh shop lights. But there was something about it that made me take a second look, and…

Owner review: Foster 11 Atmos Skin Diver
My friend Jonathan turned me on to the the Foster 11 Atmos Skin Diver, the first watch out of Oregon-based Foster Watch Co. To be perfectly honest, I hadn’t heard of the brand or its founders, Everett and Christian. Apparently, Everett co-hosts a popular podcast where they talk about affordable watches. I haven’t listened to…

Owner Review: Tudor Ranger M79950-001
Some say I’m biased towards Tudor, but I believe the Tudor Ranger M79950-001 is one of the best, and well put together pieces released by Tudor in recent times! Released in 2022, the new iteration of the Tudor Ranger marks the 70th anniversary of the British North Greenland expedition and epitomizes what it means to be…

Owner review: Seiko SMW004A Metronome
Watch complications vary from traditional to contemporary, whimsical to necessary, and watch brands are always combining complications to display horological prowess and open up new market trends. But how about combining rhythm and timekeeping as a complication within the Seiko SMW004A Metronome watch. A striking quartz watch which has the ability to produce a beat…
