In any rivalry, who comes out on top often depends on context, circumstance, and personal preference. Think about it—Omega versus Rolex. Lager versus ale. Peyton versus Eli.

Summer’s here, and you’re sweating through your old shirts that feel more like cling wrap than clothing. You want to look put-together, but everything either wrinkles instantly, traps heat, or costs a fortune. Sound familiar?

I bought my first Nixon watch back in 2014, when I was blogging for a large retailer with 100+ stores across the country, all of which carried Nixon watches. At the time, I thought I knew exactly what to expect from the brand. Bold designs, solid craftsmanship, and that effortlessly cool vibe. But as I recently dove into their collection again, I discovered a whole new side of Nixon. One full of surprises and details I never expected.

Whoever said age is just a number never tasted the Glengoyne White Oak 24 Year Old. I recently tried the White Oak range, and the 24’s added years up its adaptability far beyond the less-aged, though still terrific, core expression. The palate goes from soft and treated with dried and candied fruit, to an exciting but unintimidating mix of green apple, chocolate, spices, and a touch of citrus that isn’t inundatingly tropical.

Panerai takes the Submersible from the seas to the skies (then back again), with the highly limited Chrono Marina Militare PAM01699. Part of Panerai’s Experience Editions, which pairs your watch acquisition with a military-related travel adventure package, this commanding timepiece is another partnership with the brand’s long-time consorts, the Italian Navy. Specifically, the PAM01699 is inspired by the Navy’s aviation branch, the Aviazione Navale.

I’ve long feared airing this opinion in public—it took a lot of self-work for me to admit it even to myself. But heck, as a quartz proselytizer, I walk into a lot of watch communities pre-canceled anyway. So here we go: Given the choice, I’d pick an Hermès Cape Cod over a Cartier Tank, particularly the flagship Très Grand Modèle, which celebrates its tenth birthday this year.

My G-SHOCK goes everywhere. From Caribbean swims to Whistler’s slopes, from markets in Nice to long days on set as a producer (where exact timing is the name of the game). It’s on my wrist right now as I type these (humble) brags as proof of my longstanding obsession with the brand. So, when G-SHOCK unveiled its latest release, I did what any enthusiast would do. I squinted at my screen, zoomed in, and asked myself, What’s changed? And that’s the point.

With family homes in L.A., New York, and both ends of England (not to mention a travel-heavy job), I see more airports than a Boeing 737. My schedule doesn’t change much from year to year, so I’m pretty used to it. Still, one constant struggle is remembering what time zone I’m in at any given moment. I once flew from L.A. to Manchester, and upon landing, I took an espresso shot when I should’ve thrown back a scotch and melatonin. Suffice it to say, I didn’t sleep a wink that night.

Clothing brand Tentree’s eco-focus is commendable, but are the clothes as stylish and well-made as they are sustainable? And how modest-man-friendly are they? Do any other elder millennials out there remember when the phrase “tree-hugger” was derogatory? I’m glad times have changed. You don’t need to be an activist to agree on the importance of the environment, particularly trees. Even clothing brands have gotten on board, likely as a response to fast fashion. Tentree is one of those brands.
