Since it is the last day of the year, I just wanted to take a moment and thank you, gentle reader, for coming along with me on this wild ride.   Read more…

If you’re going to be out until all hours of the night, you might as well have one that’s as dark as midnight, right?  If you’re on board with that Sentiment, then today’s Skagen is a good candidate for you.

If you’re like me (and have seen Parks and Recreation), you’re a fan of Ron Swanson as portrayed by Nick Offerman.  He’s a no-nonsense, man’s man sort of a guy.  So, it only makes sense to see what sort of a watch that guy wears, no?

Been some time since I brought an ultra-thin watch to your attention, hasn’t it?  Well, we’re going to rectify that particular problem, now that I’ve stumbled across a model from Rado named the Rado True Thinline.

Yesterday’s post on a Tissot model got me to thinking about what originally made me take notice of the Tissot brand.  That was the fact that they’ve offered touch technology on their watches for some time now.  No, you won’t be pinching and zooming on the dial, but you can control quite a few functions with the touch tech.

While I perusing the ol’ WristWatchReview, the Amazon widget (yeah, that one over there on the right) caught my eye, and I kept an eye on what was scrolling through.  The Tissot PRC200 that came up caught my eye, and here we are at today’s post.

Since we’ve taken a look at the Orange Monster for the past few days, I thought it would be fitting to also have a look at a replacement strap that I picked it up for it – the Maratac Extreme Composite watch strap.

That’s right, we are giving away a watch!  Just jump over to this post, and put a comment on the thread.  The winner will be announced tomorrow.

In yesterday’s post, I started giving you my thoughts on the classic Seiko Orange Monster.  Today, we’ll wrap things up.  We left off yesterday with what struck me first – its size and heft.  Now, on to the other observations that surprised me.

‘Twas the night before Christmas and all through the house
the WWR readers were stirring and thrashing about.
“Where’s my new watch this season? I had planned to buy
but bills and car payments made things bad for this guy.
But old John and Patrick had both read up on your lists
and decided a Diesel would look good on your wrists.

Been a Seiko kick here for a few days, so I thought I’d keep the ball rolling with a review I’ve had kicking around for a few weeks now.  Now, given that I’ve told you it’s a Seiko, and Orange is in the title, 99% of you have figured out we’re talking about the ultimate entry-level automatic dive-watch, the Seiko Orange Monster.  (For the other 1%, just look over there at the picture.)

Ok, so when you read yesterday’s post, you thought “Well, that Seiko IS nice, but you know?  I kind of dug the style of the Obris you showed us.”  Well, then, gentle reader, I’ve got a treat for you, in the form of the Seiko SNDA65.

If you listened to the last HourTime podcast, you heard how at first the Obris Morgan I took a look at earlier this month got John’s hopes up, and then dashed them on the rocks when he realized the subdials weren’t chrono registers, but date-related.  Let’s see if this Seiko can resurrect his faith in the low end of the market.

It’s been awhile since I’ve taken a peek at an open heart (or skeleton) watch, so today’s the day to have a look at one that will put a dent in your wallet (unless you search around, that is.  More on that later).

Welcome to the HourTime show, the best 30 minute (+/-) hour podcast on the web

In todays show, John starts us off by not talking about a watch, we discuss Hublot’s Magic Gold, John decides he is jonesing for an Omega Ploprof (a vintage or current version – whatever anyone will give him) and we finish off the year with the A. Lange & Sohne Datograph Up/Down watch.
