New Casio G-SHOCK X Oneness Collab. Bottoms Up?

Nick Leghorn — Tue, 22 Aug 2023 15:02:51 +0000

G-SHOCK x Oneness. A bourbon-themed collaboration between a Japanese watch maker and a Kentucky sneaker boutique? Totally makes sense! Bourbon and time have an important relationship. But first, let’s go back to 1981…. The History of the DW-5000C A Casio engineer by the name of Kikuo was walking down the street when he accidentally bumped into […]

Braun BN0172 Classic Watch – When Seconds Count!

Robert Farago — Sat, 19 Aug 2023 23:16:19 +0000

The Braun BN0172 Classic Watch doesn’t seem like much. It isn’t, if we’re talking about price. The timepiece runs $300 on Braun’s website, but you can pick it up at Amazon for $136 (no commission on links). What the Braun BN0172 Classic offers is actually quite rare in the horologsphere: an unmistakably prominent second hand. […]

New Panerai Radiomir Quaranta – HoDinkee “Review”

Robert Farago — Sun, 13 Aug 2023 19:33:19 +0000

You gotta love the Panerai Radiomir Quaranta. Well, you do if you’re HoDinkee. Everything Ben Clymer’s ex-baby does is about making money (Hodinkee Founder Ben Clymer Cashes Out). Selling watches. If you’re looking for a critical review of a new watch, HoDinkee is the last place on Earth you’re going to find one. That said… […]

New Citizen CZ Hybrid – Less is More (More or Less)

Robert Farago — Fri, 11 Aug 2023 17:40:25 +0000

The Citizen CZ Hybrid is an AI-inclusive update on the Citizen CZ Smartwatch (reviewed in 2020 here). As I predicted, Citizen has upped their smart watch game. The main takeaway… The new hybrid still operates within Citizen’s walled garden. No third-party apps. But now it includes [what the Japanese watchmaker hopes is] a killer app. […]

MICROMILSPEC Space Force Watch Review

Robert Farago — Thu, 13 Jul 2023 15:28:23 +0000

Unlike the U.S. Army, Navy, Marines, Air Force and NASA, the United States Space Force has zero heritage. No history of courageous battles or Right Stuff stuff. But there’s a Netflix series that made the USSF the butt of a thousand jokes. The four-year-old Space Force needs all the positive PR it can get. Why not a USSF-branded watch? All the other military […]

Bell & Ross BR 05 Sincere Green – A Steal?

Robert Farago — Sat, 17 Dec 2022 18:59:10 +0000

Admission: I haven’t gone hands on with the new Bell & Ross BR 05 Sincere Green Steel. My information comes from deployant.com and familiarity with the BR 05 – a bland timepiece with a mostly meh movement that tries to be B&R’s Nautilus – and fails. Commercially? That I don’t know. This much I do […]

New Seiko Laurel is Like The Old Seiko Only Worse

Robert Farago — Wed, 14 Dec 2022 15:54:27 +0000

Back when I collected pinball machines, Medieval Madness was the apple of my eye. I was about to pull the trigger when Planetary Pinball produced Medieval Madness Remake. Same exact game, only modern. That’s the one I bought. Now have a look at the new Seiko Laurel, a 2500-piece limited edition remake of Seiko’s first […]
