A million be-slacked boys have cursed the name of GANT for most of their puberty and now, with much fanfare, they can also check the time on their GANT branded watches.
Called the L.A.S., it is a quartz piece with a grains of rice bracelet and it has a domed plexiglas crystal and “epoxy coated” bezel (classy!). It will cost $225 in regular stores or $60 when it inevitably hits the watch case at T.J. Maxx.
Arguably, any watch that pays homage to the divers of old is OK in our book, but I’m concerned that this brand might not be cool even in an ironic way. Although Penguin pulled off a renaissance, I think the maker of slacks that every boy wore to church/temple every weekend for 16 years might have an image problem.
Thank you for reading this WristWatchReview post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
WristWatchReview is one of the few remaining truly independent watch news outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent watch sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis. We don't play the games the other sites play and we've paid for it when it comes to ad revenue.
We would love for you to support us on Patreon and every little bit helps. Thank you.

I dunno, John. As Joe Strummer sang, “he who f—s nuns will later join the church.”
An interesting thought.
Do we like this commenting system? Should I go back to Disqus?
Comments is comments. I guess Disqus is nice in that it can tie to your FB or Twitter account to pull an Avatar in.
