LIV have just launched a new variation on their GX range, with a Type-D quartz alarm model, in orange, grey, black or blue.

As you would expect they are striking, vivid designs with a big crown and another decent sized button activating the alarm function. At 43mm wide the case is chunky and a range of sporty synthetic straps are available too. Water resistant to 200m, with a sapphire crystal they are a cut above many other fashion watches that feature a dive ability, plus you get the alarm as a bonus feature.

Do you like that twin date window detail? We reckon it adds a little touch extra and overall LIV are producing modern watches that really stand out from so many other Indie brands – you kind of recognise a LIV watch even without the logo, if you catch our drift. That’s a good thing.

Swiss Ronda quartz movements and you get a 5 year guarantee too by the way.

Price is £321, more details at the LIV website.
