LIV Watches Rebel-A “Cosmic Grey”
Up next is another one from LIV, the 41 mm rectangular Rebel automatic. Also powered by a Sellita SW200-1, the Rebel auto is definitely an attention-getter.

This is my first taste of what LIV can do, but it’s a great one. Check out the LIV Watches GX1-A, which is my new favorite automatic microbrand watch.
Barrington Watch Winders come in many flavors. This one is a single winder done in a piano white finish that rings in at just under $200 USD. While overall a good winder, there are a couple of areas where it could improve.
This version of the Longitude is big, bold, and blue. It’s a 42mm dress watch that ships with an attractive open heart and guilloche dial on blue-dyed crocodile-grain leather. It is a very attractive piece, albeit on the busy side of design, and is guaranteed to grab the attention of anyone in its vicinity.
D1 Milano is an Italian microbrand that is fashion-focused. The Skeleton, a 41.5mm dress watch, is a fine example of an affordable automatic watch with a gorgeous skeleton dial.
Karl-Leimon’s first watch model is the Classic Pioneer, a modestly sized and conservatively-styled dress watch. It proudly boasts its “Made in Japan” credentials, and that is part of what helps differentiate the Classic Pioneer from many of its quartz-powered microbrand peers.

Akerfalk watches is a fashion-centric microbrand watch company based out of Sweden. The First Season, currently their only model, comes in many flavors and rings in at a reasonable $248 direct from their website.
My time with the First Season has been enjoyable for a number of reasons, in part because of its classic minimalist aesthetic and tasteful size. Another enjoyable part of my experience with the First Season is its personality, which is polished but quirky. Despite being a 40mm dress piece, I noticed that the watch caught the eye of a number of my friends and colleagues when I wore it to the office. It seems to be a hit- let’s check out why.
Since 2013 I’ve reviewed almost every line Timex has released, but absent from the list has been the Expedition Scout. Finally, in a Black Friday inspired impulse buy, I decided to change that.
The Expedition Scout comes in many flavors, all of which are a variation of field watch theme. Military-inspired styling is evident as well, but especially so in some of the darker color schemes. The blue dial and tan leather combination I have here offers a taste without going whole-hog on the austere often associated with military style.
