12 and 60

Hi there, and welcome to 12 & 60. Here you can find articles and reviews on all things wristwatch. I mean, that’s why you’re here right?

I started this site because I'm an ordinary guy with an inexplicable passion for watches, and I wanted to offer something that would help other people looking to find out more about what's out there in the world of horology. Like most of us, my budget is strictly in the "affordable" category, so most of my articles will focus on wristwatches in that range, both new and sometimes vintage.

​So have a browse of the site and read a few articles, follow me on Instagram for some cool watch pics, and subscribe for updates on new pieces!

    Really want to see a 38 (with 20mm lugs) that wears like a true 36-37

    Seiko does not over claim that the movement is exactly like other watch brands. it is written + 25 seconds a day while the reality is only +- 4 to +-6 seconds a day. they want you to buy a grand seiko

    3:59 Not all digital watches suffer from viewing angle issues - pls look up STN displays - Super Twisted Neumetic displays found in GMW-B5000 watches and some Pro Trek ones - viewing angles are NOT an ISSUE for them…

    I have a GPW three hander with date. Titanium. Has a miyota automatic movement. 200 water resistance. I beat it to death and it’s still kicking. Under 500$. I’d recommend it to anyone

    Your placement choice of the bezel appears to be deliberately placed out of line. Seiko's qc issues are so well known that this comes off as too much. Spin it around and give us the real positioning please. Anyone who has ever had a 120 click bezel can see its perfectly halfway between the hash marks and therefore 1 click off. Show us the real positioning at 12 so we can see how far off it is please otherwise your just making it look like there is no qc issue.

    Your crystal scratched because you didn't believe in the watch enough and prefer those pesky automatic mechanical things to it, not just because it's mineral. Totally deserved

    Same module in 5610u, which I buyed for 100 euro and 5000 was 250 euro. Screw case means nothing to me, I don’t put it in water. Has softer rubber which is not worth 250-300 euro anyway. Rubber is rubber which won’t be same quality after few years so I buyed metal titanium set for 5610u and now is perfect.

    You overlooked the annoying read border color on the 5610, that alone can be a deal breaker to force a guy into buying this higher end model. Or even falling back to an original 5600 core.

    I'm now planning to get the GW-5000U, but it's going to take a while because: a. It's very expensive, cost as much as midrange phone from Samsung (the Galaxy A series). b. Limited release outside of Japan, available for online shops.

    Great review…I was window shopping yesterday and had zero intention of buying a watch…I saw the store had the Ranger in stock and had wanted to see one in person…did not like it on the bracelet but loved it on the green strap…I’d been looking for a field watch to balance out my Rolex thunderbird with fluted bezel and jubilee bracelet…this was the perfect solution…boring in the steel bracelet but looks awesome on diff straps…I was window shopping with no intention to buy, but now the Ranger sits on my nightstand and must say I’m quite happy…others might not like it, so it’s a good thing I bought it for my own enjoyment and not everyone else’s…
