Dress/Minimalist Watch Reviews
Dress watches are elegant timepieces suitable for formal occasions, typically characterized by a slim profile and minimalist design. In a similar vein, minimalist watches (while not all dressy) have a stripped-down and clean design, emphasizing simplicity and functionality.
Orient’s new “Stretto” RA-TX03 series is not only punching well above its weight - with a feature-packed movement and some beautiful dials, there's hardly any competition in this field.
This is the new Nova 37mm from Zelos. That’s right, Zelos. The same brand that brought you big-ass tool watch designs.
Once you pay over a grand, most watches are built to a similar standard (the recent Tag-Kith collab notwithstanding). I mean, £1,500 for a plastic watch? Are you kidding?
There’s a little something for everyone in Orient’s dress watch line-up. A good example is reference RA-AK0803Y10B reviewed here.
Welcome to one of the most surprising watch launches of 2024. I didn’t expect this watch to be so good.
Which Orient watches are truly the best? I’ve explored the entire range to find the best value options!
This model exemplifies Timex’s focus on unique design and aesthetic appeal, targeting a niche segment of watch enthusiasts.
The Timex Dégradé Reissue is a prime example of this new direction, showcasing a blend of retro design and modern appeal.
Introducing the new MTP-B145D. It’s the latest ‘Tiffany’ blue watch from Casio, and unlike the previous one, this one is actually made of stainless steel.
Loads of reviewers, especially TikTokkers and YouTube shorts creators, are hyping the "Casio Tiffany" to the moon and back…
Fashion brands would have you believe they are the only alternative to luxury brands, this list begs to differ!
What happens when the worst watch brand on social media produces a complex, mechanical watch?
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.
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.
Take a look at this watch. How much do you reckon it costs? I bet you're a good way off.
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?!
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.
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.
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?
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.
Of course, the definition of what constitutes a good watch is subjective but I think there are some useful things you can look out for.
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?
Available on several different straps, the Lumatik series features a fully polished stainless steel case, with either “Elegant Beige” or light blue dials.
