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, […]
Detrash Watches: Hands-On with a Recycled Watch you Probably Want
Welcome to 2025 guys! We ended 2024 by reviewing the highly sought after Rolex GMT-Master II Pepsi, but we’re starting this new year by going hands on with a rather peculiar pick. Today we have with us the Detrash Midnight Sky, a watch made with 80% recycled materials – but it doesn’t have a resin […]
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 […]
The Rolex GMT Master II 126710BLRO: A Commemorative Acquisition for Our 10 Year Anniversary
10 years is quite the milestone for a blog, if we may say so ourselves. In a world of high paced social media, reels, and competitive mainstream media publications, sticking to a blog for a decade requires persistent determination, stubborn will, and at times help from those within our special watch community. Today I’m quite […]
Daily Wear Review: The Seiko 5 Sports SRPK91K1
Sometimes I feel like I’ve taken the unorthodox route to watch collecting and discovery. Most budding enthusiast tend to enter the hobby with a brand like Seiko, and eventually if circumstances allow, exit or self refine themselves to brands like Rolex, Patek, and Audemars Piguet. While I dabbled somewhat with some affordable brands like Hamilton […]
Hands-On with the Timex x Pan Am Fly Back Chronograph
Traditionally, for us over here at the WRB, October has always been a hectic month. We have logistics issues to deal with for our WATCHPOD accessories brand, and we usually have an influx of watches to review as well. Add a couple seasonal viruses into the mix, as well as an increase in topics to […]
2 Week Analysis: The Hublot Classic Fusion Essential Grey
Hublot carries along with it, let’s say, an interesting stigma within the watch collecting community. They’re generally known for creating rather extravagant watches, with designs that veer far away from familiar classic shapes produced by other brands in similar price segments like JLC and Vacheron Constantin. Today we have with us one of their new […]
Exclusive Hands-On with the Norqain Independence Skeleton Chrono 8K Calibre
Just last week I had the chance to visit New York City for the unveiling of Norqain’s Independence Skeleton Chrono powered by the in-house 8K Manufacture Calibre. It was a really great event marked by a special hands-on look at the new releases, and then an eventual presentation at Lightbox NYC. I always forget how […]
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 […]
