Glycine Combat Sub Bronze Watch Review - A Budget Tudor Black Bay Bronze? (GL0390)

I have a love/hate relationship with bronze watches. I like the idea of owning one, but I only keep watches that hold their own against the others in my collection. This is why I sold my $199 San Martin Bronze Water Ghost. At the same time, I struggle with spending thousands o...

Can You Swap Modules Between a Resin and Metal Casioak? - My Attempt to Make a Metal Solar Bluetooth Casioak

In my recent review of the solar and Bluetooth "Casioak," I said that it was nearly my perfect spec G-Shock, but that it lacked the high-end feel of my blue metal GM2100N-2A. I bought a blue resin solar/BT model to swap modules and create my dream Casioak. Read the article to ...

The Casioak Goes Solar and Bluetooth! Has Casio Made My Dream G-Shock? GAB2100C-9A Watch Review

When I reviewed the original Casioak, I said "to make this my perfect G-Shock, it would have solar charging, and atomic clock sync" but I was worried that adding those features would make the watch thicker and heavier. Well, the latest Casioak models do have solar charging, al...

Seiko SRPC95 (SBDY023) Watch review - The Orange Nemo Turtle Limited Edition

I borrowed this Seiko SRPC95 (a.k.a. Orange Turtle, a.k.a. Nemo Turtle) from a friend for some strap photos. Since I previously owned and heavily modified an SPRC44 "Golden Turtle," and sold it before I started this blog (scroll down for a photo of it), I thought that it would...

Sinn 757 UTC Watch Review - Why Did Sinn Discontinue This?

While the Sinn 757 UTC is referred to as "The Duochronograph with captive bezel" (how German is that?) it is intended to be used by pilots. Watch collectors typically envision a WW2 flieger when thinking of a pilot watch, but the 757 UTC is filled with Sinn's tech to be useful...
