The New Swatch Holiday Collection Finds the Sweet Spot Between Fun and Refined
After just launching November 6, 2025, Swatch’s new Holiday Collection brings together twelve watches designed with gifting and seasonal wear in mind. It’s a mix of polished stainless-steel chronographs, colorful irony models, and two automatics powered by the brand’s SISTEM51 mechanical movement: BLACKCLOAK MECHANISM and GOLDCLOAK MECHANISM. The full collection is now available online and in Swatch stores worldwide.
The Tissot PRX Titanium Is the Version They Should’ve Made First
Tissot’s newest PRX Powermatic 80 finally lands in that elusive 38mm zone, with a full titanium case and bracelet. Thickness is just under 11mm, basically matching the 40mm version. The shape’s the same, but the sizing is smarter. With titanium in the mix, the whole package comes in lighter. They don’t list the actual weight, but if you’ve ever handled titanium, you already know that moment: picking it up, expecting heft, and instead getting that “wait, did they forget the movement?” feeling.
Reviewing the Scurfa M.S.25: An Affordable Dive Watch with Real Credibility
After breaking my watch embargo for the CWC SBS diver, the flood gates have opened. Hot on the tail of that purchase comes the Scurfa Watches M.S.25. I have been watching Scurfa for several years, but, as I mentioned in the CWC review, I was having trouble rationalising a quartz watch costing several hundred pounds. Fortunately, the £344 Scurfa cost less than half what the £729 SBS diver set me back, and so man maths kicked in and this suddenly seemed like a bargain!
Yema Navygraf Pearl with a Mother-of-Pearl Bezel and Dial
I’ll admit, I didn’t expect one of the most distinctive mother‑of‑pearl releases this year to come from Yema. Or to involve a dive watch bezel. But that combination alone makes the Yema Navygraf Pearl worth a closer look.
The Timex Expedition Capstone Refines What an Affordable Field Watch Can Be
There’s a certain comfort in knowing Timex will always have a field watch sitting somewhere in its catalog. I even recently picked up a smaller, solar model you might see on the site soon. The Expedition line, for better or worse, has been that reliable, no-frills option for years. It’s the kind of watch that shows up on military bases, scout trips, and dad wrists alike. It’s functional, familiar, and usually one of the first watches people buy when they start caring about timepieces. The new Expedition Capstone feels like Timex proudly admitting that practicality doesn’t have to look so plain.
