There’s no point denying it – two of my recent watches have lasted less than 48 hours, and the SBIII is the latest victim. However, I was able to trade it (plus a little cash) for something I’ve wanted a lot of late, and now I have it on my wrist I know that it was the right decision.

You can read about Damasko here, but suffice it to say that their watches are fantastic quality, chock full of innovation, and tremendous value. I’ve had my eye on the DA36 and I certainly wasn’t disappointed when it came out of the box. Lovely clear dial, bullet-proof case, and the very slight quirkiness all go to make this a keeper! (Yes, I know… I always say that.)
