Every once in a while I like to take a look at how some Kickstarters end up. So today we are going to take a second look at the Ikigai Maru. A cool funky diver with some great lume.

A Homage Done Right? That's the question with this one. It's the new Genius Sports watch from Revelot. Which combines a Nautilus - style case with an original dial and a very attractive price.

Can The Best Be Beaten? Signum Cuda Vs. Wise Hitman! Insane Full Lume Battle
Thanks To Both Brands For Providing The Watches:
Signum Cuda Titanium Fully Lumed: https://www.signumwatches.com/products/signum-cuda-titanium-full-lume-collection
Wise Watches Hitman Hit66 Fully Lume: https://wisetimepiece.com/collections/hitman-hit66-full-lume
Recently Wise approached me with an idea. They know that the Signum Cuda Ti Fully Lumed is considered to be one of, if not the best watches for lume, and they wanted to know if I still had one. If so, would I be willing to test it out against their new watch the Hitman Hit66. I replied, I do, and that's a great idea.

It Won Me Over! Brew Metric Retro Long Term Review
The Brew Metric is a perfect example of what's great about Microbrands. It's odd, it's funky, and most other brands wouldn't dare to try. Yet in the end, it's one of the best Meca-Quartz Chronos I've seen.

A Truer Black Dial? Redentore ULTRABLACK Absorbs 99.4% Of All Visbale Light 36 & 40mm
Thanks to Venezianico for giving the watch to the channel:
40mm: https://us.venezianico.com/products/redentore-ultrablack-1221510c
36mm: https://us.venezianico.com/products/redentore-ultrablack-1121510
The idea behind this one is genius. Take a new type of paint, the Japanese Musou Black which absorbs 99.4% of visible light, to create a dial that achieves a true black. Then build a simple yet elegant minimal dress watch around it. However, like all things, once you start getting into the details, things get a bit more complicated.

This one was a bit of a shock. After the recent release of two new Mako Divers from Orient. I wasn't expecting another, let alone a smaller diver. It seems like Orient has been listening as this is exactly what many of you have been asking for. Well almost, there is one big issue that will be fixed sooner than later.

Waited 5 Years For This! Bulova Jet Star Review Precisionist
Bulova Jet Star:
https://www.bulova.com/us/en/collection/jet-star/
A long time ago, I reviewed a Bulova Precisionist. Loved the movement and the whole idea behind it, yet that watch was way too big. In fact, that's been the problem with their Precisionist line as a whole, the watches are huge. Perhaps because of the movement and battery requirements.
However, I told myself that if Bulova ever came out with a reasonably sized Precisionist, I'd be all over it. Took them 5 years, but they finally did it.

Two Icons In One: Jack Mason Avigator Meca-Quartz Chronograph Review
Huge thank you To Jack Mason for giving the watch to the channel:
https://jackmasonbrand.com/collections/the-avigator-meca-quartz-collection
Today we are taking a look at one of the best-looking Meca-Quartz Chronographs I've seen. With the new updated Jack Mason Avigator. Which is sort of a combination of a World War I Trench Watch with a Breitling Navitimer. The original Avigator was a larger straight quartz watch, which was also one of Jack Mason's best sellers. They had a lot of requests to make a smaller version, and this is what they came up with.

New & Improved! San Martin Sea-Terra Is Back. SN0036-G-B
Thanks to San Martin for giving the watch to the channel:
SN0036-G-B (on Aliexpress): https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_DBkwFxp

San Martin puts out a lot of watches, and occasionally they do something a little original. About a year ago they came out with the SN0036-G, a cool semi-original design that was part Seamaster and part Aqua-Terra. Which I obviously nicknamed the Sea-Terra. It was a good looking watch, that unfortunately was plagued with one issue... one which has now been fixed.

Even though Oceanus watches are now available outside of Japan, getting one on eBay through a Japanese seller is still a good way.
eBay: https://ebay.us/RtwIEO
Today is a special one. I got a lot to say in this video, so just bear with me. As I'm finally getting around to reviewing the Casio Oceanus S5000 I got months ago. This watch has amazed me in a way few others have. As it combines the convenience of a complicated quartz movement, with a fit and finish even a watch snob could appreciate. It really is the best of both worlds!

The Ideal 3 Watch Travel Collection!
In a few days, I'm heading off a short trip Usually I'd stress a bit about what watches to take with me, but this time I have a Template to create an ideal travel set. Looking back I realized almost every watch I have ever traveled with could be put into one of 3 categories. Or 3 basic types of watches.
So if I bring one of each type, I should be ready for just about anything.

The Explorer Alternative! Monta Triumph Review
Monta Triumph: https://montawatch.com/products/monta-triumph-silver-dial
Another Grail Achieved. My Microbrand Grail if you will. After years of admiring it, I finally purchased a Monta Triumph. Which is perhaps the best Rolex Explorer alternative out there. In the same fashion, it combines a great utilitarian tool watch design with touches of sophisticated refinement. Come and see for yourselves what makes this a Go Anywhere and Do Anything Powerhouse.

GOSH! That's Sure Is A Swell Watch! Citizen Aviator Mickey Review
Citizen Aviator Mickey: https://geni.us/eRPA
I think sometimes we get so caught up in specs that we forget this hobby is supposed to be fun. So to that end, we are taking a break from all of that and looking at something more down to earth. The citizen BV1088-08W, otherwise known as the Citizen Aviator Mickey. Possibly the happiest watch on earth.

A Solid 36mm Explorer Homage! Cronos L6019 Review
Thanks to Cronos for gifting the watch to the channel:
36mm: https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_Deg7XON
39mm: https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_DFWyjIV
Cronos also mentioned that if you message them and mention Relative Time they will give you a coupon.
It's been some time since I last looked at anything from Cronos, but a friend of mine recently got an Explorer. He's raved about it ever since, so I decided to check one out. Expect I opted for the smaller and possibly more relevant 36mm version.

Thanks to Wise for gifting the watch to the channel:
https://wisetimepiece.com/collections/new-arrival
Last year Wise Watches fully impressed me with their Admascus diver. Complete with a 904L steel
and a ton of lume. Now they are back, but this time it's with a Damascus steel sports watch. It's an interesting shift for a fascinating watch. So check out this intriguing 39mm, which strikes a great balance between cool and attractive..

Reboot or Refresh? Phoibos Great Wall 2.0 Review 2023
Thanks to Phoibos for gifting the watch to the channel:
https://phoiboswatch.com/categories/great-wall.html?ref=6
Use Code: GW100 to save $100 Until 5/1
Use Code: relativetime for 10% after that
Over the last few years, the Phoibos Great Wall has become a cult favorite among fans. It's was sort of their take on a Seiko Monster, but done on a higher level of quality. It's odd, and different, yet has it's own kind of cool. Plus Lume... don't forget the lume. It was the Orignal King of Lume.
However this cult favorite is pretty hard to get, it's been discontinued for a while, and newer Phoibos fans who have heard about it would love to have their chance to get one. So for years, they have been beginning Phoibos to bring it back. And now they have.
Although it may not be what you think...

Two Tank Watches In One: The Slim Dual Time Vario Versa
Thanks to Vario for gifting the watch to the channel:
https://vario.sg/collections/versa-reversible-watch-quartz
Keep an eye out for the new colorways to come in.
Vario always does an amazing job of coming up with new designs. They don't seem to have any desire to create the same old diver everyone else does. They would rather venture the path less taken, and their latest watch the Versa does just that.
It's basically a Tank / Reverso style watch with a twist. It's Two watches in one, with a second watch on the back.
