Tissot PRX (T1374101105100) Watch Review

By now, I'm sure that you've also noticed another 1970's trend that has resurfaced. Yes, stainless steel sports watches with integrated bracelets are "in." It's to the point that giving five (or more) figures of your hard-earned money to Audmars Piguet or Patek Philippe to buy such a watch from them is considered a massive privilege. Luckily, for the rest of us, more affordable brands are starting to jump on...

Merci LMM-H01 Limited Edition for Hodinkee Watch Review

I must admit that I was not familiar with the French brand Merci's watches. Having been into watches for a number of years, I was, however, very familiar with the watch blog website (and now online retailer) Hodinkee. How did a collaboration between the two work in the metal? Click to find out.

If you read my recent review of the Casioak, you'll know that it's one of the hottest watch releases of recent years. As with my green "Utility Color" Casioak, I managed to snag a gray one right before they sold out. I also borrowed the red one from a friend to do a little hands-on comparison.

Stalingrad Trooper Watch Review (SG-2266-02)

Stalingrad Trooper Watch Review (SG-2266-02)

Nick Lehner

The case finishes of the Trooper (bare stainless or all black) are more traditional than the Grenade or Destroyer models' antique, or colored finishes. Instead, because the Trooper is a chronograph, Stalingrad uses the elements of the dial to show off some colors. So how did I like the Trooper? Keep reading to find out!

TRIWA Humanium 39 Watch Review - A Watch from the Black Market (with a Warranty)

Nick Lehner

Humanium supports programs in El Salvador, which to date have removed almost 6000 illegal weapons from circulation. The first weapons destruction activity in 2016 alone resulted in 1 ton of Humanium metal being produced. That metal is then "upcycled" into functional products such as TRIWA's Humanium watches.
