Casioโ€™s MRG-B2100HR uses platinum leaf, laser-created structural color, and serious MR-G engineering, but the finished effect raises questions at this price

This Timex Chronograph Makes Expensive Swiss Watches Harder to Explain

Spend enough time looking at vintage chronographs and youโ€™ll eventually run into dials like this. Multiple scales overlap each other, and colors separate one function from another. Reading the time almost feels secondary to figuring out what everything else does. I think that’s part of the fun. Usually, watches that bring this look back today get expensive quickly. But this new Timex Marlin Neo Classic Chronograph starts at $279.

Marathonโ€™s Military Dive Watch Goes Titanium for the First Time

Marathon watches have never exactly been known for delicacy. Thatโ€™s part of their appeal. With the new Marathon x Watches of Espionage Titanium SAR, I think one of the smarter decisions was figuring out how to preserve that familiar, overbuilt character while removing a considerable amount of weight.

Iโ€™ve Owned a Panerai for Years. This New Luminor Has Me Questioning Mine

Iโ€™ve owned my Panerai Luminor Base Logo PAM00777 for years. I bought it in Florence with my wife during our anniversary, at Paneraiโ€™s flagship boutique. Thereโ€™s enough personal history wrapped up in that watch that I donโ€™t think I could ever sell it. But, Panerai just released a watch that makes me wish I could separate the watch from those memories for a minute.

The New Rolex The Internet Hates, But I Seriously Love

Rolex surprised us with the Perpetual Padellone, a new annual calendar and moonphase watch in the Perpetual 1908 family. And judging by some of the early reactions Iโ€™ve seen online, Rolex has already managed to piss a few people off. I think it looks fantastic.

I Bought A $23 Amazon Essentials Watch to Review. How Bad Can It Be?

There are some wild watches on Amazon. If youโ€™ve listened to the TBWS podcast for any length of time, youโ€™ve probably heard us disappear into more than a few of those rabbit holes. I actually think that kind of variety is a good thing. Thereโ€™s an absurd amount to explore, whether youโ€™ve been collecting for years or youโ€™re just starting to figure out what you like. The problem is that all that choice gets overwhelming fast. Iโ€™ve bought some horribly strange watches for these little experiments, and Iโ€™ve been pretty hard on a few of them afterward. Still, this is core TBWS and I love going through this stuff.
