Seiko watches feel like they have been around from the beginning of time. It all started in a watch and clock repair shop on the streets of Japan. These humble beginnings have since transformed into one of the most popular watches in the market. Among the many accolades, stretching from Olympic timers to official railway […]
Seiko Prospex Samurai SRPB51 Automatic Dive Watch Review
For all its capability and panache, the coolest part of Seiko’s new line of dive watches might just be their nickname: Samurai. There are a lot of Seiko models that have been given sweet nicknames, but I don’t think any can match this one for sheer awesomeness. That’s not all this watch has to offer, […]

Seiko SSC233 Sport Solar Watch Review
Happy Halloween! It might not even be October yet, but I am feeling the Halloween vibe from Seiko’s SSC233 Sport Solar. With a distinctive orange-on-black style, this watch will be sure to shine every October 31st. All joking aside, this watch pulls off the orange and black design well, with some red accents added to […]
Seiko SNZG15 Seiko 5 Automatic Watch Review
The Seiko 5 is a venerable name in the watch world. Intended for someone looking to step up from an inexpensive quartz watch to an entry-level automatic watch, 5s bank on their value-for-money proposition. The SNZG15 reviewed here is one of the larger versions of the 5, and is also among the most popular automatic […]
Seiko SKX175 Automatic Dive Watch Review
Sporting one of Seiko’s famous “Pepsi” bezels, the SKX175 we are looking at today is characterized by rugged good looks and a casual appeal. Seiko sells several divers that are very similar to this model (including the well-known SKX007 model), the main difference being the color schemes. I happen to think the red-and-blue design on […]
Seiko SSC017 Prospex Solar Watch Review
The Seiko Prospex model SSC017 is another entry in a long line of Seiko dive watches. This particular variant, sometimes referred to as the “Air Diver,” is set apart from other Seiko divers by its attractive black-and-blue color scheme. It strikes a fine balance between some of the more sedate all-black dive watches and the […]
Alpina Extreme Diver 1000 Watch Review
Having been scuba diving a handful of times, I can assure you that nothing is scarier than the prospect of having something go wrong underwater. All of your equipment must be in tip-top shape and functioning properly to ensure you have an enjoyable and safe dive. A great dive watch on your wrist guarantees that […]
Citizen Eco-Drive AW1361-10H Avion Watch Review
Who doesn’t wish they were a pilot from time to time? Confident, intelligent, authoritative, and well-traveled, pilots are the envy of many a cubicle dweller these days. So it makes sense then why pilot watches are so appealing. At least for the fleeting moments you are glancing at it, you can absorb some of that […]

The Hamilton Watch Company, which started producing watches in the USA in 1893, is now based in Switzerland as part of the Swatch group of companies. Embracing this history, the company’s current tagline is “American Spirit – Swiss Precision.” Indeed, its American roots have not been forgotten as Hamilton is still known for creating some […]
