TW Steel is a young but adventurous watch brand founded in Amsterdam only five short years ago. The name stands for "The Watch in Steel" and is the mission statement that can be seen guiding their brand through the tumultuous process of launching a watch company. They have strong ties to all levels of motorsports, and have developed a solid brand identity in building large watches with bold and flashy style.

The TW680 RF1 CEO Tech is a quartz chronograph with a little extra style. It was designed in partnership with the Renault F1 Team, and the entire line is a departure from the usual TW Steel look and style. Let's start with some facts:

• 44x14mm case.
• OS25 quartz chronograph movement from Miyota.
• 1/20th of a second resolution.
• Date display.
• 316L case.
• Sapphire crystal.
• 100m WR.
• Silicon rubber strap.
• MSRP of $750.

Yema watches recently went through a re-brand and a model lineup overhaul. With a history that dates back to the late 40's in France, there are many watches in their past. In fact, at one time, I even owned a Yema Seaspider Auto. It was a rugged yet slim diver powered by a Seiko automatic movement, and was one of the few watches I regret selling.

The new Yema expands on its past with series of new collections (Diver, Land, Pilot, Racing, and Limited Editions) based largely on quartz movements. In this review, we will take an in-depth look at the YMHF0310 300m Diver: an all digital divers watch that focuses on practical features and a simple user interface.

Let's start with the details:

• 47x15.5mm.
• 22mm lugs.
• Chrono, temperature, countdown timer, time zone, and depth meter.
• EL Backlight.
• Stainless steel case and bracelet.
• Digital display.
• Mineral glass crystal.
• Bidirectional bezel.
• High-gloss black PVD.
• MSRP of $695 (Watch Report readers can use the coupon code "watchreport25" for 25% off).

Today's review is of the Red Burn Out 7060 from the Bianci Pro Racing line. A mens watch with a racing theme, this one is designed to really stand out. Let's start with the specifications:

• Stainless steel case and bracelet with screwdown caseback and non-screwed crown.
• Sapphire crystal.
• Swiss quartz 30-minute chronograph movement with date.
• 120-click unidirectional bezel.
• 49mm by 15.3mm thick, 52.6mm at the crown, 260g with all links.
• Bracelet is 5-link, solid links and endlinks, 24mm non-tapering, fliplock with pushbutton release and signed clasp with screws rather than pins.
• Water resistant to 100m (330ft).
• Blued hands and indices; mother-of-pearl subdials.
• Lume on hands and indices.
• List price $599; $329 on the Bianci website. (Watch Report readers can get an additional 20% off with the discount code "watchreppr7060".)

With the 300m diver, Artego Watches has officially joined the nearly endless mass of indie or boutique dive watch manufacturers available to the web-savvy buyer. But the question is, do they stand out?

As many indie brands have enjoyed a vogue spotlight, competition is fierce, yet the 300m Diver has been enjoying a steady stream of positive reviews in the online collector space. Artego was kind enough to send us a review unit so we could take a closer look for ourselves.

• Miyota 8215 movement (40 hr reserve).
• 45x15.5mm.

If you have spent any time on watch collector forums or amongst budget-minded watch collectors, Orient watches are going to come up. They are a well known brand making affordable and reliable watches for a wide range of styles competing at the Seiko/Citizen range. We previously reviewed the CEM75001B and its smaller brother the CEM65001B (in conjunction with our twitter contest), but thought the Mako XL needed the video treatment. Here is a refresher:

• Movement: Orient 46943
• Power Reserve: 40 Hours
• Crystal: Mineral
• Case: Solid stainless steel
• Size: 44.5x13.3
• Dial: Black
• Bezel: Black, 60 click uni-directional
• Lug Width: 22mm

• Retail: $250 (use the promo code watchreport50 to get 50% off that)

Along with our review of the Jorg Gray 1900-14, we requested a closer look at the 1950-12: a casual quartz watch with some Italian dive watch styling. The 1950-12 is even nicer looking in person than in photos, and after wearing it for a while, I can say it definitely has a style and feel all its own.

Here are the specs:

• 45x12mm stainless steel case.
• Black PVD style coating.
• Screw down case back.
• Japanese Quartz movement with date.
• Black leather strap (with signed buckle).
• 100m water resistant (about 330 feet).
• List Price: $285.
• 20mm lug spacing.

Up for review today is the Cobalt V from Momentum Watches, a Vancouver company specializing in functional and legible watches. We're always glad to find a great watch in this price range, and I think the Cobalt V is going to make a lot of fans. Let's get started with the specifications:

• Solid titanium case, black ion-plated.
• Mineral crystal.
• 44mm by 10.7mm, 65g.
• Rubber or leather strap (the review unit is vanilla-scented natural rubber).
• Japanese quartz movement with 5-year battery.
• Grade-A Superluminova lume on hands and dial.
• Screwdown crown and caseback.
• Water resistant to 100m (330ft).
• List price of $185.

Watches are often known for their connection to culture, sports, world records, or famous people. Rolex is known for reaching the top of Mt. Everest and the bottom of the ocean; Tag Heuer for a rich background in motor sports and sailing; Omega for reaching the moon, and now as watch James Bond prefers. The watch we have in today comes from a California label that has been making watches since 1998, but is seemingly best known for making the watch that is worn by none other than the President of the United States.

We first noticed Jorg Gray when President Obama was seen wearing a simple yet classy chronograph (the watch can be seen in many of his photos), and just had to know where it came from. As it turns out, Jorg Gray makes many attractive and modern designs, including the one we are looking at in this review: the JG1900-14 chronograph.

Here are the facts:

• 43x11mm Stainless steel case.
• Mineral crystal.
• Japanese quartz chronograph.
• Screw-down case back.
• Chronograph with date.
• Black leather strap.
• 100 meter water-resistant (about 330 feet).

View the Casio G-Shock GXW-56-1BJF photo gallery.

The new Casio G-Shock GXW-56 — and its American counterpart, the GX-56 — are proof that huge is the new big. With a case 55.5mm wide at its widest point, and 17.5mm high, the GXW-56 is the biggest G-Shock ever made. (Yes, they are even larger than the venerable Frogman.)

(Before going any further, I want to point out the differences between the GXW and the GX. The GXW is the Japanese version and has multi-band atomic timekeeping. The GX is the American version which is less expensive, and has all the features of the GXW except atomic time calibration. This review focuses specifically on a GXW-56-1BJF which I imported from Japan in order to get atomic time calibration, but most of what I cover here pertains to the GX, as well.)

The thinking behind the GXW-56 (and the GX-56) is that, in the overall scheme of things, typical G-Shocks simply aren't all that big anymore. Yes, they are certainly bigger than your average timepiece, but if you look at the watches that are really driving the trends right now, G-Shocks don't completely dominate in terms of size. So in order to maintain their status as trend-setters (and make no mistake — G-Shocks are as much about fashion as they are toughness; if you don't believe me, read my coverage of Shock the World), it was time for G-Shocks to take the next step.

Fortunately, Casio decided to do something constructive with all that extra space in the case: they filled it with aGEL which they describe like this:

aGEL® is a soft silicone gel material with outstanding shock-absorbing characteristics.

So what is this mysterious new aGEL material? aGEL, or Alpha GEL, is the brand name for the soft silicone gel material which was first made famous by Asics Gel running shoes, and it helps to make the GXW-56 even more shock and vibration resistant than your standard G-Shock.

But the GXW-56 isn't all about size. It also has the functionality and features that we've come to expect from G-Shocks. Here's an exhaustive list:
