Stowa has always held a special place within our repertoire of hands-on watch reviews. They were one of the very first brands that we reviewed shorty after our founding in 2015. We were lucky enough to receive samples from them back in 2018, with our review of the Stowa Partitio and then subsequently in 2019 […]
The Nomadic Fior 555: A Stunning GMT Watch Made in Ireland
The WRB is a decade strong, and we’ve reviewed watch brands from various locations around the globe, such as those from Germany, Czech Republic, England, Hong Kong – and many more non-Swiss locations. Today marks what I believe is our first hands-on look at a really stunning watch that’s made entirely in Ireland – Belfast […]
The Aquasphere Freefall: Hanhart’s Foray Into the World of Dive Watches
Not too long ago Hanhart announced the release of their first ever dive watch, the Aquasphere Freefall exclusively in blue with a 42mm case. This was quite the surprise, seeing that most of the watches we’ve ever reviewed from the renowned German watchmaker have been pilot inspired designs like this Primus Nautic and this S-Series […]
Hands-On With the Formex Blue Agate Essence ThirtyNine
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.

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 […]
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 […]
