Introducing the Smith and Bradley Ambush Digital Analog Watch
Ok, so that last Kickstarter project I put up was a bit of a last minute affair (that’s what we…
A Watch Strap Review Roundup
Today, we’ve got something a bit different. While we’ve done reviews of watch straps in the past, they’ve generally been stand-alone affairs. Recently, though, I’ve had a good number of straps come through. Given that people are likely evaluating strap options with the change in weather, I thought it would be handy to have a watch strap roundup of sorts, covering six straps we’ve recently had in.
Weiss Watch Company Standard Issue, Just Your Standard American Issue
American watches have been popping up more and more on the site, some by design and some by accident. The Weiss Watch Standard Issue is one of those accidental finds, something I came across while checking out site dedicated to cool toys for guys. The fact that is it is assembles in Los Angeles, a few miles from where I write this and the city where I grew up, is a bonus in my eyes. I am a fan of clean, readable designs with interesting touches, so this watch really ticks off the right boxes for me.
Orbital by element watch, A Family Affair
There are a lot of kickstarter watch projects where the creator has a dream of designing a watch, and then connects with a manufacturer in China to produce the watch. Well, element watches adds a twist to that formula, in that the watch manufacturer back in China is owned by the designer’s father. The Orbital by element watch is the company’s second bite at the kickstarter apple, and in my opinion it is a more attractive watch than the (unsuccessful) first project.

It’s not uncommon for there to be great anticipation when a new product is announced, and then we anxiously wait for it to actually hit the market. The watch industry is certainly not immune to this effect, and there’s been one mechanical watch that has been generating a lot of buzz over the past months – the Swatch Sistem51.
The Projects Watches Nadir Winner Is…
Yes, yes, I know we just announced a new giveaway today (one that’s apropos for the approaching holiday, of course), but we do need to announce the winner of last month’s contest as well!

The Other Watch Company in Detroit
Like that Clint Eastwood/Chrysler Commercial from the 2012 Superbowl, Detroit is not done yet. Shinola has done a good job in marketing their American Made roots with their quartz driven watches, and now the Detroit Watch Company is offering automatic watches made in the motor city, though of foreign sourced parts.
