Movado Men's 2600074 Series 800 Performance Steel Bracelet Watch Review

I wear the watch every day; only take it off for showering and for sleeping

These are my observations during the first 12 months after product purchase:
1. The sapphire glass is VERY scratch resistant.
NOT a single scratch, even though the watch is exposed to yard work and to metal parts in a stamping plant.
2. The metal wrist band does show scratches, which is acceptable, because I don't take any precaution to protect the watch in tough environments.
3. The black paint of the numbers on the rotating bezel came off, for the same reason, see item 2.
4. I went swimming and snorkeling: no problems at all

The design of the watch is simple, but beautiful:
-The housing is slim
-The clock face has a unique appearance without sacrificing functionality.
-The wrist band is out of sturdy, stainless steel, beautifully manufactured.

Not only was the watch a great gift for my dad this Christmas (can't wait for him to open it up!), but I learned that Orient Watches doesn't outsource which is pretty awesome, especially with today's economy as dire as it is and the need for jobs.

Orient Men's YFH04001B Star Retro-Future Black Automatic Watch Review

Orient Men's YFH04001B Star Retro-Future Black Automatic Watch
Average Reviews:

I have handled many automatics the past few years. I finally settled on an Orient Mako. Orient fans were fanatic about it. They claimed it kept good time and was the most stylish watch for the price. Maybe so. I did find it annoying that I had no Idea when the power would run out as I dont wear my watches all the time. Also, It seemed I was constantly setting the time.

Something I have had NO PROBLEMS with on my new Orient. The YFH04001B airplane concept is precise. I haven't had to set the time since I got it (two months ago), and I never run out of power thanks to the 40/hr power reserve indicator. Since I fly occasionally on the weekends this watch was a perfect fit (and all the talk among my flying friends). I would have to say If I had to buy another Automatic I would def. stick with an Orient and Possibly a star because of the precision time keeping, the awesome looks, the power reserve indicator, and of course the not so ridiculously high price of say a swiss model.

Product Description:
In this collection, you will be fascinated with the exceptional designs that are inspired by the industrial age of the 1950's.Just from looking at the face of this watch, you will notice the airplane motif of this watch and how it is cleverly put together to make a wonderful timepiece.This watch is perfect for you if you enjoy the limitless freedom of the skies or if you appreciate the inventive craft of an airplane.
The instruments of an airplane are well reflected in the dial (face) of the watch.The middle of the dial looks like a cross landing strip.When looking at the dial itself, you can imagine the exhilarating thrill of a pilot just before landing on a runway.Even the power reserve indicator embodies a fuel gauge of a plane.
What you are looking at is a mechanical watch.This means that there are no battery capacitors and that the watch is powered by motion.Pilots are able to identify how much power is left in their plane by their fuel gauge.Likewise, the power reserve indicator tells the owner how much power is left in the watch in units of hours.
Notice how the design integrates a second-hand indicator like an altitude meter.Furthermore, Orient designed this watch so that the stainless steel piece on the center of the dial comes out of the crystal glass to emphasize the nose of an airplane.As a result, the hour and minute indicator bear a resemblance to propellers.The hour and minute indicators, as well as the time indicator, are luminescent so that you are able view the time in the dark.Since the case is a semi-skeleton, the owner is able to look into the mechanics of the watch just as an engineer can view the engine of a plane.The font for this watch is very industrial to emphasize the thriving industrial era of the 1950's.
On the side of the watch, you will see that the bezel (the grooved ring of the watch) is matte finished while the rest of the case comes in finished metal.What sets apart this watch from the rest of the watches is the turbine-engine look of the crown.The crown is basically the piece on the side of the watch that allows the owner to set the time.The exhibition caseback (glass piece located on the back of the case) also follows the turbine-engine look.Another interesting feature that you will notice about the dressing of the caseback followed by dot linings depicts the surface plating of a plane.There are a total of 3 variations to this collection.The only difference amongst the three is the color on the dials: orange, navy blue, and black.
The clasp of this watch is a deployment clasp, which guarantees that the watch will stay on and not come off unintentionally.The first two links of the stainless steel metal band are tapered followed by untapered links.This particular watch has a remarkable looking design on its band links.The watch has a blend of matte and finished metal links to symbolize the combination of steel plating used on a 1950's airplane.Notice that the watch's band is very intriguing in its design.This is intended to reflect that mechanical look of the pre-modern airplane model into the design of the watch.Not only does this look offer a creative side, but the combination of the blended links with the stainless steel construction gives a 3-dimensional effect.

Tissot Men's T0264201105100 Sea Touch Quartz Chronograph Touch Screen Black Dial Watch Review

Tissot Men's T0264201105100 Sea Touch Quartz Chronograph Touch Screen Black Dial Watch
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
So this will be my first Amazon review so here goes:
I deliberated quite a bit on this purchase, as this was easily the most money I have ever spent on a watch for myself, but I did buy a Rolex last year for my Wife so, I am not averse to paying for quality.Quite simply though, Rolex doesn't have the bag o'tricks that the Tissot Sea-Touch has, so I went for it.
I received my watch as promptly as possible with the mail schedule we have (I am currently deployed to the Horn of Africa).It came wrapped in all of the manufacturer's best trimmings and a very sturdy box with all the documentation (more on that later) and in good working order.
I have to say that this watch is very substantial and has a great hefty feel.Not overly bulky and after slight adjustment fits my wrist very well with enough play to be comfortable but not so much as to slap around during movement.I chose the black face for the better contrast and it looks as good, or better than the images I've seen... very legible and not overly cluttered.
If you hung on this far, here's the real reason I considered this watch in the first place, the Touch interface.A firm press on the center button activates the touch interface and away you go.The rubberized buttons on the "crown side" are completely sealed and can be used under water to activate the functions while immersed. I was surprised that the button press needed is quite firm and takes some getting used to.But, I'd rather it be that way than constantly activating my watch and wearing the battery down.I have yet to dive with my new watch but, I will remedy that this weekend and will update this review then.
The luminous markings are tremendously bright even after a short exposure to light and you still have the red back light if you need it, although it requires you to hold that button firmly for a few seconds to get it to light up.A little too long in my opinion but, I have rarely used it.
All in all this watch is very well made.Yes, the stainless steel band is susceptible to minor abrasions and shows signs of wear but, then again this is not a watch that needs to be babied and isn't really noticeable with the satin finish.My only complaint is that I didn't realize that my watch came from a reseller that only offer's their own warranty and not the one direct from Tissot. That said, I saved a good deal off the MSRP although that isn't likely to be an issue as this latest generation of touch technology is pretty much bug free and has been around for the better part of a decade.

Victorinox Swiss Army Professional Dive Master 500 Mecha Mens Watch 241356 Review

Victorinox Swiss Army Professional Dive Master 500 Mecha Mens Watch 241356
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I am a long time Swiss watch fanatic.I've owned over 20 Breitlings, over 20 Omegas, etc., etc.For me, Victorinox is not usually thought of as the height of horological craftsmanship.But this watch is pretty decently done.

The case is high quality, on par with mid-level swiss watches (Oris, Tissot, etc.).The crown is nice and large.The movement is a lower-grade ETA movement.The finish is workmanlike.But who cares. It runs well.

The bracelet has solid links, which is a plus.The links are held together with split pins, about two notches below screwed links and one notch below collared friction pins.That is the low point.But the bracelet clasp is decent and has a diver's extension.The clasp has three holes for micro adjustment via springbar.In addition, there are two half links on the bracelet.Getting the perfect fit should not be hard to do.

A sapphire crystal on the front is nice to have.It is nicely recessed into the case (no chipping problems like Rolexes suffer-- but let's not go there, ok?)The display back is a mineral crystal, but very thick.The 500m depth rating is really impressive.

The dial is very legible and the lume is bright, although the lume on the hands is significantly brighter than that on the hour markers.

The bezel has a very solid click, much more high end than I expected to find.Interestingly, there is lume on the bezel too.

I have a 7" wrist and this watch is not too big, at least by today's standards and styles.

The gunmetal finish on the SS case and bracelet is really attractive.We'll have to see how it holds up.

Why five stars?For the price, this is one heck of a watch.Others to consider in this category are Oris TT divers, Doxa subs and Marathon.

Citizen Men's BJ2115-07E Eco-Drive Depth Meter Chronograph Imperial Rubber Dive Watch Review

Citizen Men's BJ2115-07E Eco-Drive Depth Meter Chronograph Imperial Rubber Dive Watch
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I literally spent days looking for the right watch for me. To be honest, buying a watch online is a lot like choosing a mail-order bride. You never really know how one is going to look until you take the plunge and buy it.

I recieved the Citizen BJ2115-07E on 7/1. It is now 7/21 (yes I did just look at the watch I am reviewing to check the date) and I still love this watch. From the second I opened the watch, I have been in love with it.

The watch case is large, but not too large. It is just large enough to be noticed on my wrist, but it doesn't completely engulf my wrist like some fossil watches do. The face of the watch is bold and beautiful without being too complicated. The shimmery, almost pewter-like face catches the light perfectly at every angle, really accenting the elegance of this watch. The blue accents on the watch (to be honest, the main selling point for me) really lend a lot to the watch's overall character.

The one thing I will say about this watch is that it is HEAVY. I'll be honest, when I first started wearing this watch, my wrist was a little sore for the first few days. I personally like the weight of this watch, but others might be a little put off by it. However, by no means is it overwhelmingly heavy. You can still do your work...you'll just know you're wearing this watch. I really enjoy the gurth of this watch when compared to some of the other watches I've worn/tried (an Eric Edelhausen Ganymede which felt like it wasn't even there). I love the weight and look of this watch. In my opinion it really gives off the image of "look at me, I'm a total badass".

I am constantly recieving complements on my watch in the workplace. Even though the band is rubber, the face and case of this watch are so elegant that observers don't seem to notice the band. I was skeptical at first, but over time I've grown to love the rubber watch band. It comes in handy to not have to worry about cleaning the metal/drying the leather after washing your hands or even jumping in the lake/pool.

Overall, Citizen has made a great watch here for the price. Whether you're a diver or not,this is a buy I highly encourage anyone with an interest in this watch to make.
