I pre ordered the U15 and gave a $900 non-refundable deposit. I wonder what’s going to happen now with the tariffs? Are they going to still honor the original price at the time of pre-order?

Yesterday afternoon, in preparations for the approaching storm front that was likely to produce tornados, my wife and I began putting together the items we would have on our person if a tornado were to hit our home. When it came time to put a watch on, I took a moment to truly consider my choice.

If only I had a spare $13 million!

To me at least the Citizen Garrison series are about the most readable watch series currently available from any maker. Other than dial and markings colors, which are reversed, they pretty much follow the guidelines for railroad pocket watches that we…

I’ve been interested in a Deck / Marine style watch for a while. I’d like to look at some affordable microbrand options. Preferably spending under $350 (I’m open to used). Stowa and Dekla are great options, but out of the range I’m looking to spend.
