New video review! The Fortis Spacematic watch. Affordable, minimalist design, with a tried and true ETA Automatic movement to boot. A good way to test the automatic watch waters, or a good sport watch for the weekends. The 40mm Fortis Spacematic is a great all rounder.

Very cool short clip on watches, showing 5 “gadget” watches. I would not consider the GP a gadget watch, and I think there are some cooler watches when you step up to that kind of price range, but it is an interesting little clip none-the-less. Posted by one of the forum members, and I just had to repost here because of the Breitling Emergency nod 
1 – Girard-Perregaux Tourbillon Gold 3 Bridges
2 – Breitling Emergency – Woohoo!
3 – Bell & Ross Hydromax
4 – Tissot T-Touch
5 – Casio G-Shock
