The Grape Jelly Casioak? Casio G-Shock GMA-S2100SK-4AER Watch Review
My friends have started thinking that I'm obsessed with Casioaks, but my wife might actually be the one. It's the only type of watch that she'll wear regularly, and I like to buy them for her, so when she sent me an Instagram post with a "heart eyes" emoji of this new clear purple model, I had to order one.

Seiko Prospex White "Slim Turtle" Watch Review (SPB313, SBDC171, SPB313J1)
In truth, I often miss my SPB143, which I sold to fund a Prospex LX. It was one of my favorite watches for around $1,000, and had very few flaws. I chose to buy the SPB313 because I liked its white dial with black hands and indices, but my hope was also that the Slim Turtle could fill the shoes of the 62MAS. Was it able to? Keep reading to...

Jaeger-LeCoultre Polaris Date Green Boutique Edition Watch Review (Q906863J)
Despite the fact that I've never owned one (and can't pronounce its name), I've been a fan of Jaeger-LeCoultre for a long time. Now that I've finally had the chance to wear one for a bit of time, how does it stand up to my expectations?

Bulova Devil Diver Oceanographer Watch Review (96B320)
Bulova is an interesting brand in the watch collecting world. Like Seiko, you'll often find its mass appeal models for sale in department stores, but the brand does offer models that appeal to those of us with the watch affliction. The reissue of the vintage Oceanographer "Devil Diver" that you see here is one such model.

Seiko King Turtle Grenade Watch Review - SRPE05 (SBDY051)
So why is this Turtle called the King? Seiko has likely noticed the popular trend of enthusiasts modifying their Seiko divers with upgraded parts. With the newer series of Turtles (and Samurais), Seiko has done the work for us! Is it worth the price premium over the standard Turtle, or even a modded one?

Glycine Combat Sub Bronze Watch Review - A Budget Tudor Black Bay Bronze? (GL0390)
I have a love/hate relationship with bronze watches. I like the idea of owning one, but I only keep watches that hold their own against the others in my collection. This is why I sold my $199 San Martin Bronze Water Ghost. At the same time, I struggle with spending thousands of dollars on a watch like a Tudor Black Bay Bronze that is going to tarnish immediately. When I came across this Glycine Combat Sub Bronze,...
