The HELM Vanuatu is a named after an island in the South Pacific famous for its coral reefs and a WWII shipwreck. HELM does not hold back from describing this piece as a beater watch. Other sites have referred to it as chunky. Turns out they are all correct. One thing is for sure, this […]
If you’re like me and aren’t opposed to a little man bling, then you need to peruse the offerings from MTM Special Ops watches. The name says it all, with inspiration from the Special Ops community, these military timepieces feature exotic alloys, carbon fiber and a heavy dose of sex appeal. Last year at Shot […]
Whether you are a military servicemember, law enforcement officer, or just an EDC enthusiast, you probably own a watch. Owning a watch is a tradition that dates back multiple centuries, a tradition that the military actually played a major hand in influencing, and a tradition that still continues today in the world of digital technology. Your […]
I was given the opportunity to try out the Rockwell Coliseum Fit watch. Previous to this I had never heard or Rockwell Time before but after doing a little research I was eager to give it a go. I have been looking for a fitness watch that I didn’t have to link to my phone […]
It’s okay to own a piece of EDC gear that isn’t tactical. Really, it is. Sure there are some items that don’t have a substitute, but when it comes to a watch I found a company that focuses on bringing a piece of American history back to life in such a way that it fits […]
While I am not an authority on women’s watches in particular, I am familiar with a quality watch when I see it. And after having done plenty of men’s watch reviews I thought it was time to review one for our female readers. The Sea Pearl from Resco Instruments starts at $735 (shipping and taxes […]
I’ve worn the Casio DW-6900 watch for many, many years. I first bought the watch during my enlistment in the Marine Corps back in the mid-1990’s at the PX on Camp Lejeune. The watch has been through more field exercises than I can remember and several deployments. The only thing I ever had to do […]
A while back I reviewed the Rockwell Coliseum watch for the Raider Project. The Coliseum line of watches are built to withstand rigorous use whether you’re deployed to and operating in less than ideal conditions, rucking, backpacking or any outdoor action sport for that matter. Rockwell Time has since upgraded the Coliseum line of watches to now include […]
There is no doubt that those in combat need the highest level of durability possible for their gear. If it isn’t up to snuff, it will break and in a hurry too. There is another environment which is also notoriously abusive to gear, though many don’t know about it. Underwater, specifically undersea. The abrasive salt-water is […]
Trench and field watches played a vitally important role beginning with the first and second World Wars. Pilots, infantry officers, artillerymen, and many other military service roles relied on accurate timepieces to help them coordinate precise attacks and maneuvers. Considering the technological advances that we now have the luxury of, there is less of a […]
