Unimatic has a been a relatively illusive brand for us here on the WRB. I’ve reached out to them before, requesting to review and handle various new releases from them without luck. It wasn’t until just a few weeks ago that I finally made contact with their PR department, and actually this time they had […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
Hands-On: The New Mido Ocean Star GMT Travel Diver
Mido has been making headwinds lately with popular releases such as the Ocean Star Decompression World Timer, and their recently released Multifort TV Big Date. High profile releases like these ones are starting to bring some much needed attention to their bread and butter offerings like their new Ocean Star GMT we’re reviewing today. Where […]
Startup Diver Concept: The Nove Marine M001-07
As a watch reviewer and industry journalist for many years now, it’s become customary for me to be curious but at times apprehensive about reviewing a new watch from a relatively unknown startup brand. While some watch publication outlets are currently reviewing their 300th Speedmaster, today on the WRB we’re going hands on with the […]
On-Wrist with the Oris Aquis Date Upcycle
Oris is certainly one of my favorite accessible Swiss watch brands. Like many of you, I also appreciate a watch brand that not only has a solid heritage and reputation, but a brand that has remained independent throughout all these years. The new Aquis Date that we’re reviewing here is a culmination of the above, […]
