Casio A168WA: A Community Review
I liked the look with the square shape of it. It brings back childhood memories of my Dad wearing it. I really liked the green glow. When it’s dark you wouldn’t need a flashlight to read the time. I liked that the watch wasn’t too big either.

MAEN Watches Hudson Review: Incredible or Meh
Microbrands - everyone's starting one. It's what's in, kids! With all this microbrand saturation it's difficult to create a microbrand piece these days that actually has impact. One watch could look like any other watch from another brand if the "designers" aren't careful. That's why it's important for microbrands to have a design element built into the piece that's more than just the name on the dial.

Collinsville Watch Co. has been a friend of the Two Broke Watch Snobs podcast ever since the early days.

Swatch Sistem51 Review: Should You Keep The Receipt?
The first time that I was introduced to a Swatch Sistem51 was in a marketing email from Hodinkee announcing their collaboration with Swatch.

But due diligence is always appropriate and I check out the brand's Instagram page to see what the watch looks like. After about 2 minutes of having my nose buried in my phone I slowly crane my head up towards Mike and say "Dude, we need to see this watch."
