I am not a fan of the direction of most smart watches. I don’t need another screen on my wrist to give me my texts and emails. If the notification is so important, then I will look at my phone or computer. But I do see the utility in getting some notifications, especially if it is in a fairly unobtrusive manner. And this is where connected analog watches enter the field. Devices like the Nevo Watch connect to your smart phone and display limited information in the background, while the primary look of the watch is an analog watch.
We like Techne watches here at WWR, and for good reason – they present some rather lovely style at very affordable prices. Of course, if those prices end up being further discounted, well, then all the better.
Normally when I have an article title starting of with “Introducing”, we are bringing you news of a brand new model, or perhaps a hands-on of a piece that was just introduced. Today is more of the news sort, with it serving as an introduction to a new brand their watches.
With SIHH behind us, and Basel around the corner, there are lots of beautiful, complicated, and intricate watches being introduced. But there is something really nice about a simple watch done well, and the Alpina Startimer Pilot Big Date Professional is a simple watch, done really, really well.
When it comes to the Swatch brand, most of our mind share has been focused on their quite clever Sistem51. They do, of course, have quite a few other watches on offer. One of the more popular collections has been the Swatch Irony, and they just introduced a new extension of that line – the Swatch Irony XLite.
Welcome back to our regular feature, the Watch Video Rewind. In this series, we bring to light videos we feel are interesting and worth sharing out with our readers. Today, in honor of Valentines Day being yesterday, I am going to highlight a few videos that get into one of the reasons for my love of watches, namely beautifully crafted intricate machines, ‘watch porn’ if you will. Not that I can afford any of these timepieces.
Welcome to the Valentine’s Day edition of Watching the Web. If you are reading this and forgot to get your significant other something, go ahead and bookmark the page and come back later and go get something. Something preferably watch related. And with that Public Service Announcement out of the way, we will dive into our regular feature, pointing you toward interesting watch related articles from across the internet and popular posts from our own pages. Today, we have two articles from Watch Time, one on the top women’s watches from a few years back and the other a selection of watches worn by US Presidents (just in time for President’s Day); as well as an article from A Blog To Watch with ways to keep feed your love of watches without blowing your budget. From our own site, we have articles featuring new watches by Shinola for Filson and an older article on Seiko movements.
You know who we have not had on our pages in some time? Fossil, that’s who. While they are ostensibly a more fashion-oriented brand, they do offer a large variety of styles at rather affordable price points. Today, we have a hands-on look at a watch they consider to be in their dressier collection, the Fossil Machine.
