Skip the waitlist – 10 of the best steel sports watches you can buy right now

Ten years ago, this phenomenon only existed in the uppermost echelons of the watchmaking world – the waiting list. There’s a lot of wild speculation around why waitlists for certain models exist, with some suggesting market forces, and others suggesting less passive forces. Regardless of their cause, they don’t appear to be disappearing anytime soon, … ContinuedThe post Skip the waitlist – 10 of the best steel sports watches you can buy right now appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

RECOMMENDED READING: Can’t stomach a smart watch? How about a smart strap

Smart watches are here to stay. But that doesn’t mean we have to be OK with it in a mechanical watch-fancying world. But it’s hard to deny that self-quantification and easy, breezy notifications on the wrist address certain functionality that the Submariner and its ilk struggle with.  Never fear, Sony has a solution. The Wena … ContinuedThe post RECOMMENDED READING: Can’t stomach a smart watch? How about a smart strap appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

5 things you need to know about Bremont that explain why they have come so far so fast

I distinctly remember the first time my interest was piqued in Bremont. Until then, I’d seen the brand around, but not been attracted to what appeared to be pretty plum conservative designs. I’d noticed the watch in Kingsman: The Secret Service and thought it was a clever, jolly appropriate spot for such a British brand, but … ContinuedThe post 5 things you need to know about Bremont that explain why they have come so far so fast appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

Here’s the proof you can easily wear a 37mm watch

Editor’s note: Size is one of the prevailing issues in watchland. Too big? Too small? It’s one of those ongoing debates that rages on (and on and on and on). A watch that clocks in at 37mm would typically be seen on the smaller size of this spectrum - so much so that many would … ContinuedThe post Here’s the proof you can easily wear a 37mm watch appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.
