All-Purpose/Everyday (GADA) Watch Reviews

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.

What’s more, unlike the Tsuyosa, this watch wasn’t made of stainless steel. Instead, it shipped with a far more ‘advanced’ Super Titanium case. I had to take a look at it.

As an introduction to affordable field watches, VAER’s C3 Korean US Solar watch is a fantastic place to start.

This is the new Nova 37mm from Zelos. That’s right, Zelos. The same brand that brought you big-ass tool watch designs.

At 43.3 millimeters in diameter, and coming in a range of bright bold colorways, this particular model is less of a shrinking violet and more of a Jolly Green Giant.

I received an email in February 2024...out of nowhere, Vaer was back on my radar!

Is it as good in person? Yes…actually, it’s better in person!

I’m about to reveal Seiko’s secret formula. The obscure, genius, groundbreaking strategy that keeps this watchmaking juggernaut at the very top of the pecking order.

Here’s a list of the most durable brands I’ve come across; for those of you after a hardy watch that can take a licking and keep on ticking.

With over 20 types and variations of field style watch, Vaer has certainly left potential buyers with plenty of choice.

There’s a little something for everyone in Orient’s dress watch line-up. A good example is reference RA-AK0803Y10B reviewed here.

This Casio A1100 definitely feels much better than the A100, but does it feel almost £100 better?

Welcome to one of the most surprising watch launches of 2024. I didn’t expect this watch to be so good.

Old money watches don’t have to be expensive! If you know where to look…

Launched in 2019, the newly honed G-Shock GA-2100 immediately struck a chord with G-Shock fans and broader watch enthusiasts alike.

Which Orient watches are truly the best? I’ve explored the entire range to find the best value options!

For once, though, I’ve found a watch online that shocked me with how *little* it cost.

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.

Believe it or not, you're looking at that very mistake right now…notice anything strange?

Loads of reviewers, especially TikTokkers and YouTube shorts creators, are hyping the "Casio Tiffany" to the moon and back…

Is this the Casio killer we’ve been waiting for?

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.

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.

On paper, this should be one of the best brands I've ever reviewed.

A well-designed, high-quality watch from a former Kickstarter brand not out to scam you?!

Are these watches the true premium Casios I've been looking for? How can they justify the high retail price?

RZE, formerly Reise has more experience than first impressions would have you believe.

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.
