Prometheus Ocean Diver Watch Review

It is the watch that almost was not. It is proof that a concept and a dream, as a well as a strict adherence to promise and detail are what reign supreme in the world of fine watches.

Formex 4 Speed DS 2000 GMT Watch Perfect For Diving Or Racing

Formex is one of those brands I love to notice, but doesn’t seem to get the public attention it deserves. Which is a shame given how nice some of their watches are. The mantra of Formex seems to be a melding of watch and race car technology. As such, the signature tech feature that is [...]

Casio Wave Ceptor WVA430J-1A Watch Review: Solar, Atomic, Simple

There is a special place in my heart for simple unpretentious watches – which are typically relatively inexpensive. The bread and butter of the watch world are timepieces like this, and they get the least attention. Countless hours and pages are spent on discussing ultra luxurious watches that will only ever be worn on the [...]

New feature starting today on aBlogtoRead.com. You’ll begin to see some award icons on select posts. The system is meant to place emphasis on various products, brands, services, events, innovations, etc… that represent one of three ideals.

Automatic Movement Based Seiko Prospex Marinemaster SBDX001 Is Worthy Swiss Competitor

This watch is not to be confused with the other Seiko Prospex Marinemaster watches that I have been talking about. Those don’t have automatic movements, but rather Kinetic Direct Drive or Spring Drive movements. For example, I spoke of the similarly named Seiko SBDD001, which has a similar name, but different look and movement. The [...]

Marcello C. Nettuno 3 Review: About The Best Watch Available For Under $1000 MSRP
