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

Nick Lehner

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 find out what happened!

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

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

Nick Lehner

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, although instead of atomic sync, they have Bluetooth connectivity. Has this made it the perfect G-shock? Read the review to find out!

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

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

Nick Lehner

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 with the watches worn by the U.S. Army in WW2.

Vostok Komandirskie K-65 24 Hours White (650546) Watch Review

Nick Lehner

Like the junkies that we are, many watch hobbyists require larger and larger doses the longer that we are held in the grips of addiction. Purchase prices continue to escalate in order for us to be able to “feel something” from a watch purchase.
