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...

Praesidus A-11 Combat 32mm Watch Review - The Most Authentic A-11 Reissue?

Praesidus has been selling A-11 style watches for some time now but they have all been upsized compared to the Elgin, Waltham and Bulova originals. That changes with its latest version. At 32mm wide, the A-11 Combat not only has the dial design, but now shares its diameter wit...

Gorilla Fastback RS White Watch Review - Indulging My Guilty Pleasure

Regularly browsing watches on social media has the tendency to compress people's preferences into a narrow sliver of brands, size ranges, and styles. Sometimes a watch that is well outside your comfort zone will burrow its way into your brain, however. For me, that watch was t...

Sinn U50 Watch Review and Comparison to Sinn U1 - StrapHabit
Sinn U50 Watch Review and Comparison to Sinn U1

When I declared its U1 big brother the best dive watch that money can buy, I did it with the caveat that I had not seen a U50 in the metal. As luck would have it, I was able to borrow that one to do a comparison. Can the U50 knock its big brother the U1 off its pedestal? Click...

Battle of the Black Dive Watches: Sinn U1 S vs. Seiko Prospex SLA035 MM300 Watch Review (1010.020 vs. Marinemaster 300 SLA035/SBDX033)

Last year, I wrote a tongue-in-cheek piece declaring the Sinn U1 S "The Best Diving Watch Available." Seiko also makes a lot of strong contenders in the dive watch category. I recently picked up a Seiko MM300 diver that, on paper at least, is very comparable to the Sinn. So ho...

Seiko Prospex Black Series Limited Edition "MarineMaster 300" Watch Review - SBDX033 SLA035

Of watches that that I've owned, Seiko is the brand name that shows up most often. Readers have followed my climb up the Seiko ladder. My next planned stop was the MM300, but I jumped a few levels to the Prospex LX Spring Drive. I had thought that I could skip over the MM300, ...

Tawbury Bayswater 12 Slot Watch Box Review

If you've ever tried to buy a watch box, you might have experienced the same thing as I have. Most watch boxes fall into one of two categories: cheap and crappy, or very expensive. The other challenge is finding one that has a storage drawer (critical for a strap addict like m...
