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

Seiko SRPC95 (SBDY023) Watch review - The Orange Nemo Turtle Limited Edition
I borrowed this Seiko SRPC95 (a.k.a. Orange Turtle, a.k.a. Nemo Turtle) from a friend for some strap photos. Since I previously owned and heavily modified an SPRC44 "Golden Turtle," and sold it before I started this blog (scroll down for a photo of it), I thought that it would be fun to review another special edition Turtle.

Sinn 757 UTC Watch Review - Why Did Sinn Discontinue This?
While the Sinn 757 UTC is referred to as "The Duochronograph with captive bezel" (how German is that?) it is intended to be used by pilots. Watch collectors typically envision a WW2 flieger when thinking of a pilot watch, but the 757 UTC is filled with Sinn's tech to be useful and durable for the conditions that one might encounter in a cockpit. Unfortunately, when looking up the 757's specs for this article,...

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

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!
