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 […]

Push pause on tactical: Vortic Watch Company bringing historical American timepieces back to life
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 […]
Resco Sea Pearl: dive watches aren’t just for barrel-chested freedom fighters
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 […]
Casio G-SHOCK | Classic DW-6900
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 […]
Rockwell Time Coliseum Fit watch in Kryptek Raid: Quick Look
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 […]
Hazard 4 | HWD Snowfield watch
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 […]
Origin Watch Company merges modern watchmaking with historical field watch roots
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 […]
Spinnaker Fleuss SP-5055 provides an affordable vintage dive watch option
In 1878, Henry Fleuss invented the first self-contained underwater breathing apparatus (SCUBA), opening a new era of exploration under the sea. Spinnaker created their Fleuss series of vintage timepieces to honor this man. They offer two variations. Both are automatic. The SP-5056 series features triangulated hands and trapezoid indexes, and the SP-5055 series with a more traditional […]

MTM Special Ops Silver Falcon watch review
The MTM Special Ops Silver Falcon is a watch that I was very excited to review. I generally prefer a more simplistic watch and stay away from ones with extra bells and whistles, but the Falcon manages to offer the extras while maintaining a very classy profile. The primary benefit I see in this watch is with […]
