Watching the Web for June 11, 2016

Patrick Kansa By Patrick Kansa

Welcome to our weekly round-up of watches on the web, which we cleverly call Watching the Web. Here, interesting articles and review on other watch sites are highlighted, and we also get to brag a bit on our own popular articles. This week, we have a review of the Benarus Vintage Moray, tips on finding the right watch salesperson for you, and the top 10 watches that get a nod from watch snobs. From our site, we have the latest chronograph from Manchester Watch Works, a review of the Alvieri Firenze, and Victor’s thoughts on the new movement from Ronda.

Welcome to our weekly round up of watches on the web, which we cleverly call Watching the Web. Here, interesting articles and review on other watch sites are highlighted, and we also get to crow a bit about our own popular articles. This week, I have a review of a very fast Heuer chrono, a review of a Fortis dive watch from a non-reviewer, and a Seiko for the world traveler. From our sites, we have a reader review of the Benarus H-6, the BOLDR chrono on Kickstarter, and the Casio Pro Trek.

Adding a layer with the Filson Short Cruiser

If you stop and think about it, watches really are an accessory. Yes, they are extremely useful accessories, but they are add-ons to what we wear, are they not? If we pull on that thread of reasoning, then, the topic of watches, and what watch you wear, is really an extension of what might be called Men’s Fashion, or Men’s Style. To that end, we here at WWR thought it would make sense to start taking a look at items from the world of Men’s style, hopefully in scenarios where it’s somehow related to the watch world. In this case, we had a perfect stop-off point for our first foray – Filson. They have been making watches with Shinola, which are largely an extension of the great product catalog they have built up. That means that, for our inaugural Men’s Style post, we will take a look at the Filson Short Cruiser.
