We feature a lot of dive watches here and obviously, I have a real passion for them… But, did you know that what the industry considers a “dive” watch is actually pretty worthless to a modern diver? Instead, divers use computers to compute dive times, depths, etc…

This Shearwater is widely considered the best.

The CWC reissue we talked about is finally out… and while it’s gorgeous, $2700 is a little high for a 2824 watch. I’ll pass.

I’m not sure how I feel about this… I consider Bell & Ross to be a fashion brand and this is certainly made up heritage… But it’s done well.

Apple Watch Series 3 – Apple

Read More

Obviously, I’m not a smart watch guy. I dig on traditional automatic watches instead… But I have to admit that some of the functionality is really appealing and I love the idea of a Buck Rodgers watch on occasion.

From what I’ve read, the new iWatch is pretty much the most complete offering on the market. It’s typically apple. But you know what bugs the hell out of me? It looks like a suppository on the wrist. I mean, it’s so soft and round… and not at all masculine.

Come to think of it, all of Ive’s designs have moved that way since the iPhone 4. And to me that was the pinnacle. The iPhone 4 felt and looked like a Leica… or something German… Or… It was awesome.
