All-Purpose/Everyday (GADA) Watch Reviews

Launched in 2019, the newly honed G-Shock GA-2100 immediately struck a chord with G-Shock fans and broader watch enthusiasts alike.

Which Orient watches are truly the best? I’ve explored the entire range to find the best value options!

For once, though, I’ve found a watch online that shocked me with how *little* it cost.

But as I went to make this post, Casio did something that made both watches virtually obsolete, and surprisingly, you’ll probably be glad they did.

Believe it or not, you're looking at that very mistake right now…notice anything strange?

Loads of reviewers, especially TikTokkers and YouTube shorts creators, are hyping the "Casio Tiffany" to the moon and back…

Is this the Casio killer we’ve been waiting for?

I've been wearing this OCW-S100 for the past few weeks, and in short, it's similar to the T150, but has some unforeseen differences.

Let's say you've got a budget of around $500. Should you go for one of the higher-end Casios? Or is Citizen the obvious choice at that price point?

Late last year, Timex released a bunch of interesting field watches under the Expedition North banner. On the surface, these seem to essentially be upgraded versions of the cheaper Weekender and Expedition watches.

On paper, this should be one of the best brands I've ever reviewed.

A well-designed, high-quality watch from a former Kickstarter brand not out to scam you?!

Are these watches the true premium Casios I've been looking for? How can they justify the high retail price?

RZE, formerly Reise has more experience than first impressions would have you believe.

This is the W-86. You've probably never heard of it but it's basically an F-91 that's better in every way but one...or maybe two.

They sent this Tonnerre across to me and the impressive final product is a testament to their open approach to criticism.

The more I read into this so-called ‘Valuchi’, the more I began to wonder…is anything about this company original? I mean, the name itself is generic, they’ve copied another kid’s homework with their ads and their watches look just like an AP Royal Oak clone with a dial transplanted from a Filippo Loreti.

I was immediately excited when I stumbled upon one of their latest releases that appeared to offer this nostalgic styling whilst foregoing the typical square shape.

Meet the Seiko SNK361. Some of you may recognise this one, as I’ve alluded to it in previous posts but today, it’s going to steal the spotlight.

Was I too harsh on Citizen? I did a little affordable watch brand tier list video in December last year and it’s fair to say that Citizen fans weren’t too pleased with the brand’s placing.

Then, out of nowhere, I discovered that Lorus had released a new line of mechanical wristwatches; the first in recent memory from that brand.

This is the 1978 Day-Date Reissue, which appears to be a follow up to the similarly styled ‘1975 Reissue’ from a few months back, with some alterations. I missed out on the latter option, so when this newer 37mm model popped up on their site it was too tempting to ignore.

The real question is…is it any good? Did I get a great deal, or is this a piece of junk cashing in on the Bulova branding? Well, let’s take a closer look.

Introducing the Casio Edifice EFR-S108D, which I’m labelling as the new CasiOak (or the CasiOak killer, whichever sounds more clickbaity)!

The brand, Casio. The specs; well, they’re out of this world. I think it’s time we gave this one the Ben’s Watch Club treatment, don’t you?

Why has nobody reviewed this watch? It’s been around for 30 years and is from a well-known brand so…what’s the catch?

Here’s a sentence I NEVER thought I would be saying on this blog. Fashion brand Lyle and Scott have created a mechanical wristwatch that comfortably beats the likes of Seiko, Orient and Casio…at least on paper!

This is codenamed the SYXS114, also known as the ‘Skinflag’ which is part of the ‘Skin Irony’ range. Falsely labelled on Amazon as a women’s watch, this is actually a unisex watch, as is evident from the stock images.

I’ve picked out what I believe to be 3 of the very best Seiko 5 watches, which offer a surprising amount of value for considerably less than you might think.

So, there’s a certain Q-Timex that nobody seems to be talking about. That being the elusive Falcon Eye, which I think is quite possibly the best-looking out of all of these reissue watches.
