It’s only got 200m of resistance, which is … Continue reading Summer Watches: Seiko Prospex PADI: Great Blue For You

You expect the quirky, the unusual and the super bright, almost neon coloured dials from Storm London. It’s what they do. The watches are well made usually, feel solid and feature reliable quartz movements, so it all comes down to fashion. Do you rock the Storm look or is it too in-ya-face? For us, the lazer blue/purple dials are acceptable and we might try a … Continue reading Storm Fibon X: Yeah, It’s Quirky
