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 the Gorilla Fastback. Ever since its release in 2016, I've had this watch on my mind.

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 the link to find out!

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 how does it compare?

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, but I could not get it out of my head, and finally purchased the SLA035.

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 myself), and that stores the right number of watches.
