Founder, Head Watch Geek & Reviewer
Cameron’s love for watches began over a decade ago. His personal collection includes over 33 watches, ranging from $25 to $5,000 in value. WYCA was his way of appreciating the engineering and artistry that goes into affordable watches.
Cameron built his first website when he was 10 years old. When he was 12 he aced a social studies assignment by building a slick website biography on Bill Gates. At age 15 he sold his first website. The $400 he earned might as well have been a million because that sale kickstarted a lifelong passion for business and entrepreneurship.
In his early twenties he managed a team of 12 sales professionals at a national print and online marketing company. A few years later he was working with a talented & distributed team to create content on 15+ websites.
Cameron received a Bachelor’s degree from Fanshawe College, where he studied Business Administration, Leadership and Management.

This Bulova has as lot of things going for it. First, it’s a great looking open heart that isn’t over styled; It’s competitively priced, clocking in somewhere around $300 – $350; it’s built well, like every other Bulova I’ve reviewed to date. It’s a great watch and has earned a great recommendation from me. Check it out!
In October 2013 I picked up an automatic Delphi Acheron from Stuhrling Original. How has it help up in the nearly 3 years since? Only one way to find out!
The two-handed dial is unique and presented beautifully, as is the rose gold case and the laser-etched backplate. In every respect, the Heritage 40 demonstrates the care that went into its design and build. Priced alongside comparable quartz watches from Swiss and Japanese watchmakers, the Heritage 40 absolutely deserves your consideration if you’re wanting a dress watch that’s different but still classic.
The Accutron II Alpha is a unique watch. Already rare to see a skeletonized dial on a quartz timepiece, Bulova takes it even further with a distinctive case to match. This version is arguably the youngest, with its black on black color scheme managing to be both quieter and louder than some of the more conventionally-styled versions. Regardless, it’s an excellent watch and a definite conversation piece. Recommended.

Readers requested a Tissot T-Touch Classic update. Here are my thoughts after just over three years of ownership.
The Alpinist came as a true shock: a great looking, well-spec’d automatic from a world-class manufacturer. It’s comfortable to wear, durable, reliable, and accurate. In the USA and Canada, it’s also an uncommon watch to find. The best part of all of this is its price, coming in well under $400. Great work, Seiko.
I recently reviewed the Orient Bambino V2 and Symphony and found both to be mechanically and structurally excellent. Orient makes some great affordable watches, that’s for sure. Check out the Bambino and Symphony in these pics 🙂
If the Bambino is the proverbial bulls eye, the Symphony lands just short of the inner circle. It’s powered by the same Caliber 48743 automatic that Orient fits in the Bambino, and it’s built just as well, but it doesn’t quite hit the mark aesthetically. Because of this, it always seems to sit in its better-looking cousins shadow. It’s not a bad watch by any technical means, just make sure you’ve checked the Bambino out before you pull the trigger on the Symphony.
The P2/01 is definitely a statement watch, but wow- what a statement it makes! I’ve never seen a watch get people interested in it like this SEVENFRIDAY does. Even if they aren’t “watch people”, almost everyone who sees the P2/01 thinks that it’s good looking. At 47mm it’s among the largest I’ve worn, but I don’t think that’d keep me from buying it. It’s a very cool watch all around.
Orient hit the nail on the head with the Bambino V2. This is a great looking watch, and of the three versions of the Bambino, I think that the V2 is the best looking. The quality of its build is evident all over, with no corners cut in its construction. Overall, the Bambino is an excellent watch. I recommend it.
A week ago I got contacted by a gentleman named Tom… and he wanted to let me know about the WatchUSeek project watch currently under development. This is the first I’d ever heard about a WatchUSeek project watch, so I pressed him for details. It sounds to me like they’re building something pretty cool .
You can find the Visodate Heritage in a few flavors, though this model (T019.430.16.031.01) is easily the best looking. The steel on brown color scheme is understated and fits into any ensemble. It’s comfortable to wear, durable, and built to last. This is another great watch from Tissot.
After going to a local watch meet I met doncommando, who agreed to loan me his vintage Pan-Europ for a while so I could snap some photos. Just a couple of weeks later, Justin at Gem by Carati loaned me a brand-new Pan-Europ Auto Chrono for a few days. I thought this was the ideal time to get some side-by-side shots of the vintage Pan-Europ and its modern re-imagining.
