Owner Review: Grand Seiko SBGR305 – Giving in to Peer Pressure

Owner Review: Halios Seaforth

Halios is a microbrand that has been doing things right for awhile now. I have had 5 or 6 different varieties over the lifetime of the Halios Seaforth and thankfully it is still a relatively cheap watch that I dearly love.
