First impressions are good; the watch is pleasing to the eye and feels reassuringly weighty, with various visual enhancements setting it apart.
Citizen’s famous Promaster line has been lauded since its introduction in 1989, and I’ve finally got my hands on perhaps their most time-tested models; the NY0040.
This model exemplifies Timex’s focus on unique design and aesthetic appeal, targeting a niche segment of watch enthusiasts.
If you like watches but don’t want to spend much, pay attention. You see, I’ve found a great-looking budget Seiko that’s under $100.
Believe it or not, you're looking at that very mistake right now…notice anything strange?
I wish I'd remembered to turn my mic on when unboxing. The words that came out of my mouth were "this is FIT!"…
What happens when the worst watch brand on social media produces a complex, mechanical watch?
Not long ago, I was looking for a capable Seiko diver that could replace my SKX as a Seiko with perfect dimensions…
This is the 'Field,' and despite the unimaginative name, you'll notice pretty quickly that this watch is far from generic.
To try and find out what the crack is, I've got my hands on a couple of pieces from one of the most popular of these oddly-named brands; Stuhrling Original.
Many of the watches reviewed on Ben's Watch Club are 'automatic' watches. But what exactly are automatic watches?
Well, it's time for Seiko to release the Kraken. Indeed they have a secret weapon that allows them to leapfrog the majority of comparably specced or similarly priced competition.
Dive watches. We all love them - some more than others. But, the title of "perfect diver" depends on who you're talking to.
Now they're back at it, imploring originality with another pair of watches that they hope tell a different story.
On the wrist, the 38mm Bambino wears an absolute treat. For most wrist sizes, I think this will look better than the original, which was a tad wide and flat.
With an all stainless steel offering of 42mm in case diameter, a lug-to-lug of just under 47mm, and a case thickness of just under 15mm, it is certainly a well-proportioned tool watch that will live happily on most wrists.
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.
Meet the monstrous Spinnaker Piccard – the maddest dive watch you’ll see this year; excluding Invicta of course.
My wife's gonna kill me for this, but I pulled the trigger on what promised to be the best Timex watch in years!
A well-designed, high-quality watch from a former Kickstarter brand not out to scam you?!
There’s no doubt about it, Chinese brand San Martin offers the most impressive build quality that I’ve seen for the money.
Rival brands with very similar offerings both for under £500? This calls for a Ben’s Watch Club duel!
Here we have the classic SNK805 and SNZG09, which are probably nearing the end of their run, as well as the newcomer, the SRPG33.
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.
I featured an obscure piece that seemingly nobody had heard of. To be honest, until a commenter mentioned it in January, I didn’t know the brand existed myself.
Then, out of nowhere, I discovered that Lorus had released a new line of mechanical wristwatches; the first in recent memory from that brand.
Sure the watch may look nice, but does that make it a good watch, or worth the extra money over a standard Orient?
