Smartwatch Showdown: Apple Watch vs. the Competition
We recently learned that the long-awaited Apple Watch will be available in April, at a starting price of $349. How does it stack up against existing smartwatches like the Samsung Gear S, Motorola Moto 360, LG G Watch R, and Pebble Steel? Let's take a look.Fit and DesignNo matter how functional, an unattractive product will not win broad consumer acceptance, and though aesthetics may be subjective, size is much less so. Most smartwatches launched to date have been either bland- looking, too large, or both. Apple clearly did its homework, offering its watch in two sizes familiar to watch lovers: 38 and 42 mm (all measurements in this section are in millimeters). The smaller version is the smallest smartwatch yet announced. The Pebble Steel measures a reasonable 46 x 34 x 10.5. The Moto 360 looks great, perhaps even better than the Apple Watch, but at 46 x 11.5, as one hands-on reviewer said, it's a pizza pie for the wrist. LG has not released specs for the G Watch R, but based on the scr

New RGM North Pointer Professional GMT 254 Watch
RGM makes watches in Lancaster County,? Pennsylvania, which is a hub of American watch making. In fact, the majority of hands-on watch making that occurs in America today is in, or near Pennsylvania. A fact that strikes me as curious given the remote nature of some of these towns, but makes sense if you compare it to fine German and Swiss watch making towns. You'd be surprised to know that most of the independent watch makers in Germany and Switzerland are based in old farmhouses or alike building in tiny rural areas. take the famous Glashutte region, which is basically a one street village. I don't know why this is, but it must mean that watch makers don't like to be bothered. Thus, you'll find a lot of homegrown American watch making in what is essentially Amish country. Go Figure.RGM is a special watch company in America because they produce one of the first American made watch movements to have been developed in a long time. This movement is not in all of their watches, as they mos

Watch Shopping In Japan: Three F.P.Journe Boutique Exclusives In Tokyo, Including A Tourbillon Souverain With Jade Dial
I'm generally quick to answer when people ask me to name my favorite modern watch brands; without hesitation, the list includes F.P.Journe. This is not to say that I'm a fan of everything the brand produces, but I admire the way the manufacture applies a certainly polarizing and idiosyncratic design language consistently to every model in its range, from the most exclusive models to its entry-level pieces.More than one collector I have met has described F.P.Journe watches as "poetic" in both design and engineering, including a particularly memorable collector who, over glasses of rosé in the courtyard of the 14th-century Swiss château he of course redesigned himself, waxed lyrically about the peerless way the brand balances "technology and poetry" in its designs. (Bear in mind that this was during an event sponsored by another watch manufacture, but this was of no concern to him considering the elegant Resonance he sported on his wrist.)So, need

Speedmaster 3623.30.00
I have a?Speedmaster Triple Calendar ?3523.30.00 with 1151 movement. My question is about the 24 hr. hand. Can it be uncoupled from the running time hour hand? In other words have it work like a 2nd TZ like a GMT would. I don't have the official manual and did some reading of scanned manuals for the reference and the 1151 caliber but no mention. Thanks for info - and if age matters - the watch was originally sold in 2000 with the newer 24 hr. arrow hand. Here's a pic of the dial. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
