The Real Reasons Watch Reviews Don't Talk (Much) About Accuracy
If you're curious about what accuracy actually is, and what it depends on, you may want to read our earlier story, "Accuracy: What Is It, And Does Anyone Actually Care?" JFWe've talked, now and again, about the subject of accuracy – what it is, what it means, how it's valued, and most recently, what it isn't as well. One question that always comes up when we raise the subject, however, is why you don't hear more about accuracy where you'd most expect to hear about it: in watch reviews. After all, car writers give you tons of performance information – why not watch writers? Why, therefore, don't watch reviews give you accuracy info in the same way that you get zero-to-sixty figures in a car review? There are a lot of reasons why you don't see actual performance figures for watches, in watch reviews; some of the obstacles are bigger than others, of course, but they all add up to the odds being stacked against it.

A Week On The Wrist: The Blancpain Fifty Fathoms Bathyscaphe
This year is the 60th anniversary of Blancpain's Fifty Fathoms dive watch.

Omega Speedmaster 50th Anniversary
Hey,Just wondering what are peoples' thought about this watch (ref 311.30.42.30.01.001). Perosnally I think the normal speedy is superior but would like a second opinon.
