It looks like a dive watch, but in reality it’s more of an everyday timekeeper, with 100m of resistance and a chunky, no-nonsense construction typical of China based brands. Homage watch to … Continue reading Black Friday Deals: Pagani GMT Map Version Down to £75
The Chinese Heimdallr brand is worth checking out in our humble opinion, as the watches we have tested tend to be slightly better finished than the average Ali Express bargain. The Sale is on now and with the Tactical Frog Solar powered quartz at $159 it makes a good alternative to a mainstream Seiko or Citizen solar chronograph. The orange dial Sharkey dive watch is … Continue reading Heimdallr Sale: Decent Reductions on Some Models
