Watch Review – Montera Estria

Posted on May 28, 2026May 28, 2026 by Richie

Mediterranean Sundance. Man, we don’t know what’s happening with these kids at the moment, but we’ve been seeing some outrageously young upstarts releasing watches in the UK microbrand scene.  BVOR blew us away with the Vision recently, and Provoque Watches are doing crazy things with their modular watches. And all these guys are in their…

Watch Review – Golby Aquareef 40

Posted on April 22, 2026April 22, 2026 by Richie

Crowns to the left of me, a Joker to the right. Here I am, stuck in the middle of a review. England’s own Golby Watches have been making a name for themselves in their home country, but also in the global microbrand scene. They’re fully involved. Attending events across the world and posting on social…

Watch Review – San Martin SN0148-GX

Posted on November 28, 2025November 28, 2025 by Richie

While we don’t tend to review Chinese watches often, specifically those that tend to sell via AliExpress, we have dabbled in that market a couple of times.  Our very first review on here was the Proxima PX1701, a rather unique dressy diver with a translucent dial that really highlighted the date wheel, and prior to…

Watch Review – Casio MTD-130D-1A3V

Posted on May 12, 2025May 12, 2025 by Richie

The MTD-130D-1A3V is a cheap-but-classy field watch from Casio that arrived last year in 2024 and caught a little bit of attention because of similarities to Seiko’s Alpinist range.  And it’s probably the watch that we can most credit with getting us back into watches generally.  That’s because at the time our search criteria was…

About to leave the comfort of home for a rainy journey into work.  At least I've got a taste of Summer on my wrist though. 

Spending my last few days with the @golbywatches Skipping Stone.  Expect a review this week.  Go on.  Expect.

There's a few things I normally wouldn't like about this watch but the overall pick up and go functionality means I just keep picking it up.  It's light, very thin and quartz, so it's always ready to go.

Casio MTP-E740-2A1V. £85 (but find a code a code.  I paid 68).

The Casio MTP-E740-2A1V has nubs-level lume but it is fun to shine a UV torch at.

Objectively, it's not the best watch in the world but it's a vibe nonetheless.  I like it while also knowing it isn't amazing.  Like the film Shootfighter.  It's got bad acting and fight choreography but can a film with Bolo Yeung and William Zabka ever be all bad?

I'd be lost without the GHOST.  It's my go to digital when I need to keep things simple.

A great little watch from @eightfivewatches

Today I'm wearing the Skipping Stone by @golbywatches.  In the Sandy Shore colour variant. 

So tempted to make Puppet on a String the music for this.

Hang on!  Didn't you do this before?

Yes.  We reviewed the BVOR Vision back in May BUT!

1) we wanted to check out the blue version because it looks so cool.

2) not enough people are talking about @bvorwatches 

It's just a short re-review.  Check it out here.

Four Golbys, one #lumetest.

You've got the Skipping Stones, the 'Joker' Aquareef 40 and the unmatched lume of the Coastal.

Top lume as always from @golbywatches
