Formex is a relatively new, niche brand, within the grand scheme of the watch world. They were founded in 1999 and have focused primarily on the development of extreme sports racing watches, which is right there in their name Formex – which stands for “forme extrème” in French. You see a lot about them online, […]
Raymond Weil X Largo Winch: Hands-On With a Limited Illustration Imbued Watch
For the last few weeks I’ve had the pleasure to go hands-on with the Millesime Tri-compax Chronograph, a very unique and surprising watch from Swiss watchmaker Raymond Weil. We don’t hear very much from this brand, with new releases often being drowned out by the likes of trending re-issues from industry heavies such as Longines […]
Hands-On with the Doxa Sub 200T: An Updated Icon
It’s the end of the summer over here in Montreal, and today I had the chance to scour through some of the remaining sample watches I received and hadn’t completed reviews for. In-between a couple family vacations and the rush of maintaining fourth quarter stock levels for WATCHPOD, I managed to let the new Doxa […]
Red Bull Cliff Diving World Series with the Mido Ocean Star Tribute
What better way to test the Mido Ocean Star Tribute than diving off of a 27 meter cliff? Just kidding, I did not jump off a professional diving cliff, nor did any of the athletes wear watches while diving. What I did do though, was watch this years 2024 Red Bull Cliff Diving World Series […]
Decompressing with the Updated 1961 Rainbow Diver from Mido
Mido has great timing with the release of their limited or special edition runs of the 1961 Decompression Timer. They always seem to time it for the dead center of summer, this time of course being more towards the end but still pretty close. We reviewed their previous launch of the 1961 in the summer […]
The Nivada Grenchen Chronosport: A Taste of the Racing 70s
In our day and age, with such high-tech watch manufacturing equipment, and with highly creative modern designers – why do we keep harking back to the watch era of the 70s, 80s, and 90s with such ease? It simply comes down to nostalgia and funky design language that our modern up to date watch offerings […]
Rolex Explorer II Polar Ref. 226570: The Last Luxury Tool Watch
Sitting down and commencing a hands-on review of one of the world’s best and most iconic tool watches from the crown is a daunting task. Plenty of thoughts, memories, and emotions begin to brew, and I find myself wondering which of the most important aspects of the modern Explorer II I should discuss. There’s also […]
Hands-On: Seiko Prospex Marinemaster 1965 Ref. SJE099
Seiko never ceases to amaze me, and there’s good reason why they’ve built up such a substantial following of watch enthusiast, and even some who enjoy solely collecting Seiko. Today I have the pleasure of going hands-on with their Marinemaster 1965 Ref. SJE099 which is the lovely light blue dial and dark navy blue bezel […]
The Amida Digitrend: Hands-On with a Prism Display Driver’s Watch
A Monday morning watch review takes a long time to gear up for us at the WatchReviewBlog. Two coffee’s, a Euro’s match, and a very intriguing watch is the minimum it takes to get our creative writing juices flowing. Luckily we’ve had the new Amida Digitrend Take Off Edition in hand for the past couple […]
Discovering the Bremont Terra Nova Power Reserve on Wrist in the Real World
I walked into the office this morning, and noticed a rather large build up of watches for review, with boxes stacked on-top of each other neatly grazing the wall. An unusual sight for the beginning of summer when watch brands tend to slow down the distribution of review samples. Could there be a reason for […]
