Quartz (aka battery-powered) movements are typically used in affordable watches. Quartz movements use a small piece of quartz crystal to regulate time; they’re consequently much more accurate than mechanical movements, requiring less maintenance.
Which ones are actually the best? Which have that special sauce that makes them worth considering?
With over 20 types and variations of field style watch, Vaer has certainly left potential buyers with plenty of choice.
Which Orient watches are truly the best? I’ve explored the entire range to find the best value options!
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.
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.
This has always left me wondering, are these viewers right? Are these among the best value watches you can buy?
To find out, I’ll be giving a brief review of the Erebus Origin, which is the launch watch in his collection.
Unfortunately, while Casio has cut the sizing, they've cut several other corners along with it…
Loads of reviewers, especially TikTokkers and YouTube shorts creators, are hyping the "Casio Tiffany" to the moon and back…
Even though Glycine is technically owned by Invicta, it is certainly NOT an Invicta you are buying…
Over the years, I've covered some real bargains in this category, but how do these oddballs compare?
Having been a runner through the 1990’s I can say on good authority that the Ironman line always delivers.
It's been almost five years since I reviewed MVMT. Are they still the worst watch brand?
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.
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.
We can at least use this model as a reference to judge the build quality and performance of Edifice watches. Are they Casio's attempt at pushing heavily marketed junk?
This watch is certainly in stark contrast to a myriad of recent illegible and dare I say nauseating designs by Bulova.
The Casio G-Shock DW-5600 is undoubtedly one of the most recognizable and iconic watches you can buy for under $100, alongside the legendary F-91W.
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.
Years before YouTubers were ramming MVMT and Vincero down your throat, there was another ‘affordable luxury brand’ being shilled en masse.
Take a look at this watch. How much do you reckon it costs? I bet you're a good way off.
Are these watches the true premium Casios I've been looking for? How can they justify the high retail price?
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.
I’ve seen a few viable alternatives come and go, but recently I stumbled upon an option that may finally have surpassed it in raw bang for the buck.
As an introduction to affordable field watches, VAER’s C3 Korean US Solar watch is a fantastic place to start.
