A summer quintet. I have more watches than that but limit myself to these in the post. Divers and field watches are in the majority, both here and in total. That's what summer is all about. Isn't it?

Breakdown by Watch Collection Metrics

  1. Brand (10%): 8.0/10
    Strong representation of established brands like Seiko and Yema, alongside unique microbrands like AndoAndoAndo and RZA.

  2. History & Innovation (10%): 8.5/10
    The collection showcases innovative designs, such as the bezel-lock of the Yema Superman and the symmetrical dial of the AndoAndoAndo A-2.

  3. Rarity (10%): 8.5/10
    The limited editions (Yema Superman and AndoAndoAndo) and unique designs like the RZA Urbanist enhance the collection's exclusivity.

  4. Material (10%): 8.0/10
    High-quality materials, including bronze, sapphire crystals, and titanium coatings, are balanced by simpler entries like the Casio Moonphase.

  5. Movement (10%): 8.0/10
    The mix of reliable automatic calibers (CMM.10, Seiko NH36) and quartz movements provides functional diversity but lacks cutting-edge mechanical innovation.

  6. Versatility (10%): 8.5/10
    A blend of styles ensures adaptability to various occasions, though the bold designs may limit formal use.

  7. Complications (10%): 8.0/10
    Features such as moon phases, day-date displays, and dive bezels provide utility, though the collection could benefit from additional advanced complications.

  8. Functions (10%): 8.5/10
    Water resistance, lume, and unique functional elements (e.g., Yema’s bezel-lock, RZA’s solar charging) enhance practicality.

  9. Dials & Design (10%): 8.5/10
    From the vibrant Ninja Turtle to the clean elegance of the AndoAndoAndo A-2, the collection excels in visual variety and craftsmanship.

  10. Cohesiveness (10%): 8.0/10
    While the collection spans a range of styles and movements, it is unified by a shared emphasis on unique designs and practical functionality.
