It’s sale time on the Polar Vantage lineup!
I’ve been a fan of the watches that Polar creates (which I’ve reviewed here and right over here). If you’ve been wanting to pick one up, I’ve got good news for you – they’ve got three models on discount!

It’s been a long three years since we had Mercer on our pages (you can see that here). It’s not that we’ve been ignoring them, it’s just, well, life marches on and things can fall off the radar. But I’ll say, I got some very strong pings when I caught word of the Mercer Nomad GMT hitting Kickstarter.
I know, I know – here I am, back again talking about another Ball Watch. While it’s not quite as colorful as last week’s Cares Edition (see here), nor is it quite the compact Marvelight design I adore, I’ve no doubt that the Ball Engineer Hydrocabon Racer Chronograph will find some fans out there.
Grand Seiko has just announced the Soko Special Edition Heritage Collection, a pair of watches that are based on the slanting light of autumn. Pretty deep, huh?
Stop me if you’ve heard this one before – a watch brand is hitting a milestone, and they’re introducing a watch to commemorate it. It makes sense to do, if you ask me. This time around, it’s one of our favorite brands, Oris, looking back at their start in 1904, with the new Oris Holstein Edition.
The Todd Snyder collection from Timex has been excellent. Separately, Timex Q has been a great revival of a classic case and bracelet. What happens when the two cross streams? ONLY GOOD THINGS.
If you’ve been following along with what Bulova has been doing, you’ve likely noticed that they’ve got ties into the music industry. Most prominently, that’s with their partnership with the Grammys. Now, one of their latest partnerships is taking the form of the Bulova Frank Sinatra collection.
This just in: The Caliper Slide View is one of my favorite watches and now there’s a second edition. This unique watch, created by Mikael Sandblom, features a built-in slide rule and has a no-nonsense design dedicated to the engineer in you.
When it comes to the watches that Ball makes, it’s quite a range, and there are certainly ones that I’ve come to like more than others. One of my favorites has been the Ball Engineer III Marvelight (I reviewed the II version here), given the classic size and shaping, the cyclops, and the wide tritium tubes. The tubes get the attention here, as they’ve jumping on the rainbow hues theme so popular for COVID-19 fund raising these days.
As I’m sure you can imagine, we get all manner of mail coming in from companies talking about their “new, innovative” watches, and a vast many of them just get tossed into the circular file. There are gems to be found out there, and that’s what we’ve got here with the Manawa M1 collection coming at us from Belgium.
