In this review, we are checking out the Vario 1918 Medic. A sister watch to the 1918 Trench I've already looked at. The Trench was one of the best and most interesting field watches I've seen over the last year. Rather than a traditional WWII styling, it opted for an early WWI. Taking its inspiration from the very first field watches in existence.
The Medic has a similar style to the Trench, but with a few twists that makes it a watch aimed at those in the medical profession.

Once again we are taking a look at another microbrand, except this one is a bit off the beaten path. This is the Kazan from Ikigai watches.

This is a watch you may be familiar with. When people hear the name Orient Star. Typically this is the watch most people think of. Well… maybe the black dial version. I haven’t seen too much of the champagne SAF02005S0 before.
Regardless, this is one of Orient Star’s staple, and a pretty awesome little dress watch. It’s perfect in so many ways… Except there is one huge problem.

This is one of the more unusual micro brand watches I’ve run into. The Islander ISL-72. A reimagined Spork homage. This time put into a mini-turtle like case. Its odd, it’s quirky, it’s big on value. This is the 40mm Islander Spork. Powered by a Seiko NH36.

I've been working on this review for a while. This is the Longines Conquest V.H.P. GMT, one of the most interesting GMTs out there. From a functionality standpoint, it's almost perfect. Yet it's not a watch a lot of people will ever buy. There are a few quirks to it, as well as it's a quartz GMT. Yet it's not just any quartz, but a High Accuracy Quartz.

Orient Star Classic SAF02005S0
https://www.tuswatches.com/product-page/orient-star-classic-automatic-saf02005s0-men-s-watch
Although I forgot to mention that one of the big negatives about the orient Star is that it still has a mineral crystal.
I recently got two Seiko 5s delivered on the same day, so I decided to try an unboxing of both of them. I don't normally do unboxings so I was trying a different setup with multiple cameras. So this is a ruffer first impression of 3 different watches. The new Seiko 5 field watch, the SRPG29. The cul classic the SNKL23, and finally an Orient Star Classic.

There are a lot of divers out there these days, especially when it comes to microbrands. Yet this one caught my attention. With its octagonal cushion case, sandwich dial, vibrant color scheme, and an integrated rubber strap. It's hard not to miss it.

Welcome back to another episode of the 5/1000 watch challenge. Where I present a well-rounded 5 watch collection for under $1000. So this is definitely more budget orientated. Yet to make things more difficult, that $1000 also includes any aftermarket straps or bracelets that may be needed. As oftentimes with budget watches, the stock straps suck.
In this episode, I focus on building a smaller watch collection. Where everything in it is under 40mm. So let me show you what I came up with.
Note: One thing to note is that some of the watches included in this video were given to the channel when I did the original reviews. Although at no point was this video ever discussed with those brands. Specifically the PP Panda Chrono, the Orient Deneb, and the 40mm Vaer.
Also, Some of the links above are affiliate links, I am an Amazon affiliate so I would earn a small commission on qualified purchases. But most of the time Amazon is just the best source to link something just to get a look. I always encourage you to shop around and find the best price.

Today we have something a little different. A Unicorn if you will... no seriously, it has a Unicorn on the dial. This is the Proxima / Uni-Dive PX01. A diver with a silver sunburst dial, that has a rather unusual way of showing the date. All powered by a Seiko NH35A.

Today we are taking a long-awaited look at the Orient Defender II. I loved the first defender but felt the older movement held it back. So I was very excited to hear they had an updated version coming. Yet there have been some significant changes to the design as well. So lets see how it stands up to the original.
