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 ...
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...
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...

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? ...
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 han...
