What Features Should A Casio Smartwatch Have?
It is almost the middle of 2015, and now that the Apple Watch is here, people are still asking me "when is Casio going to release their smartwatch?" In a sense, much of what Casio already produces are "smartwatches," and the Japanese company arguably created the segment with a number of interesting watches over the years that do more than just tell the time (starting back in the 1980s during the "quartz revolution"). In 2011, Casio even began producing Bluetooth-connected G-Shock watches that offer simple notifications and music controls along with a small number of other features (which continues in some models produced today). With all that in mind, why is it that a company which should be the obvious front-runner as a traditional watch brand (and electronics company) to making smartwatches, have seemingly nothing in their pipeline to address the question of what Casio's answer to the smartwatch will be?The high-end Casio G-Shock MT-G costs $1,000, showing that there is market for mo

Found: A Rolex Submariner Lost At Sea, Recovered 14 Months Later...And Still Works
So we all know that the Rolex Submariner is a good diving watch. But what we didn't know is that the beloved Sub could sink to the bottom of the Pacific Ocean, only to be recovered 14 months later, and still work (after a bit of winding).Yes, you read that correctly. The story is, a gentleman was fishing in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of British Columbia when his Submariner's bracelet snagged on his fishing rod. The watch promptly flew into the ocean and sank. The quick-thinking owner marked his coordinates and miraculously worked out a deal with a local dredging barge to search the area from time to time (for a fee of $85 per hour with a $1,000 cash reward). 1 OF 1 Miraculously, 14 months later, the watch was found in 100 meters of water and after a few turns of the crown – it worked! Although not pictured, there was apparently a barnacle attached to the bezel. The watch is currently being serviced. Read the full post here&

Opinions on the Montbrilliant Moon phase line please
Hi, I was looking at the Montbrilliant lineup with Moonphase that was discontinued in 2010. Any idea how good/reliable the movement it uses is (think is Breitling 19) since have seen some complaining about it being expensive to service. I read it uses a modified ETA movement so that means is not an inhouse Breitling mechanical movement right? I thought Brietling had started manufacturing their own movements in early 2000 through a Swiss factory they setup.Also saw a place mentioning the watch having water resistant problems although is marked as 30m water resistant, could anyone throw some light on that?Lastly any wrist shots would be much appreciated,Thanks

Nautilus strap warning
This is for those who want to order straps for Nautiluses but not from Patek, Nautilus straps have a special titanium construction, otherwise a strap without it will fall off, so the strap maker needs to destroy an original Patek strap, 490 euros, to take out the titanium construction and make a new strap with it, I went to see ABP, they told me it's hard to make so 640 euros, didn't do it as 640 plus 490 was a bit too much, will see when one of my straps is dead, but don't make a strap without the titanium piece inside, your watch will fall, a strap maker who is not honest or who has poor knowledge of Patek might say nothing or say it will be ok, I was at ABP and asked Patek and the answer is don't ever put a strap on it without this metal part, you will regret it¡­Here are a few pics of the straps, you see it's not just leather¡­P1000835.JPGP1000834.JPGP1000833.JPG
