Szanto 1100, A New Vintage Field Watch

By Matt Himmelstein August 19, 2014

Szanto is a new brand, started by the the founder of Luminox, Barry Cohen. They have been on quite a press push of late, getting watches into the hands of several watch bloggers, so there are a few opinions out there for anyone wanting to survey a range of impressions. The sent me three watches to check out, and the first one I thought I would tackle was the simplest of the three, the Szanto 1100 (1104 to be exact in my color combination) an attractive three hand quartz field watch.

Vincero Watches – Heart and Stone

By Matt Himmelstein August 18, 2014

I find it interesting when alternative materials are integrated into watches in an attractive way. That is why I am drawn to some wooden watches, and also why I was interested in the Vincero Watches project up on Kickstarter right now. For those of you who’s interests turn more to the solid feel of stone, this project may be something you want to check out.

As I mentioned in our August giveaway, this month marks three years since John took a flier on me and brought me on board to start reviewing and writing about watches.

Garmin Approach S6, The Smartwatch I Might Want

By Matt Himmelstein August 14, 2014

OK, I am not all that enamored with Smartwatches. I carry my phone and love my iPad, but I don’t see where I really need to see who is calling or texting by glancing at my wrist. And I am plenty active, I don’t need a fitness monitor either, so that functionality does not excite me either. But I am also a golfer, albeit a terrible one, and the Garmin Approach S6 may finally be the smartwatch that I want to own.

By Patrick Kansa August 13, 2014

I just wonder if it will ever make it past the point of being a concept.
