Review – Oceaneva Deep Marine Explorer Pro Diver
Oceaneva is a new microbrand from the Aquacy brand. At this time their mission with Oceaneva is offering the best value homage there is. Personally, I believe they have done it and as a result they have affirmed my belief that microbands are just about the only type of new watches that should be purchased.

Review – Pablo Profundo VB-1
For a first watch from a new brand, the Profundo VB-1 is a home run. I suspect the people behind the brand have been in the watch industry for quite some time, or they know people that are highly qualified and experienced watch manufacturers.

Not too long ago I reviewed a Neymar 300M dive watch from Shenzhen Bo Lin Watch Industrial Company Ltd. I still believe the watch is the best $159 NH35 powered dive watch available on the market. The company has recently expanded its line under a new brand, BLWRX.
