Seiko King Samurai SRPF79K8/3/2021 The party trick is the silhouettes of Manta Ray just underneath the surface of the dark blue ocean. It’s incredibly subtle, don’t expect anybody to see these without having them pointed out. Much like manta ray, or even small sting rays in real life, they don’t exactly advertise their presence, but rather gently glides near the bottom of the ocean and a silhouette may be all you ever see. It’s a beautiful touch and it’s the reason I bought the watch.
So does everything line up properly? Don't be silly... Read full review here Diving at 2 kilometres...Sinn U26/9/2020 Are you like me and merely diving to 1500 metres is a bit pedestrian? Well, I have some news for you. Say hello to Sinn's U2 EZM5. The ultimate badass watch that will gladly beat up all your other watches.
What is it like to wear, own and use this watch in a normal every day life? Is it worth owning even if the extent of your water activities is snorkeling at 50cm? Read full review here. Helson Sharkmaster 3001/8/2020 I researched this for a long time before I bought it...or at least I tried to! There's not a lot out there in terms of in depth reviews. So, time to change that!
If you're looking at buying this good homage to the Omega Seamaster 300, then hopefully this will help you.

I'd also say it's fairly imperative to consider obtaining one before they are discontinued too!
Read my full review here. The (perfect) blue28/6/2020 Is this the most fit for purpose dive watch ever made? I can’t speak for every diver over the years of course, but I have a strong suspicion that it might be. There are so many small details that seem to be there to help with under water activities, you just couldn’t go wrong. But, is it fit for desk diving?
Read full review here Seiko 5 Sports '5KX'22/1/2020 ![]() Seemingly a controversial release based on basically not being the SKX007... Does it deserve to be dismissed by watch collectors out there? Anything wrong with an updated movement, hacking & manual wound movement? I don't think so and I think it's worth reading this owner's review if you're considering one. Read review here. Unimatic Modello Uno14/1/2020 The Unimatic Modello Uno (U1-FN) does have a great utilitarian feel to it. The reduced lines and numbers on the bezel suits the watch perfectly. I also like the smaller hour markers on the watch and, the DLC coating that makes it all black, is lovely. What is it like to wear and live with every day? Read my full review here.
Seiko Prospex 'Samurai'7/1/2020 ![]() The best Seiko nickname and awesome design. Yes, it has a movement that is made in Malaysia and would need some small adjustments at least weekly to tell exact time, and a Hardlex crystal. But…it’s the ‘Samurai’(!) and look at that awesome lug design! It has a tsunami wave logo on the back! Sold. Read my full review here LIV GX Swiss Auto Ceramic Diver's 300M15/12/2019 A rather problematic Kickstarter campaign did eventually yield a solid watch. It is the least extreme design of the lot and if you like these sorts of watches, a solid buy. Before you do go and buy your own LIV watch, I'd highly recommend reading my full reivew here.
