Prime Time Reviews - January 2026
Despite the rather overcast conditions here in Dorset this week, we noticed it was light well past 5pm last night! We’ve fired up the night lights on the bikes a few times but those lighter evenings can’t come soon enough.
While the downpours, gales and colder weather events have been doing their best to dampen spirits, we've had something rather wonderful brightening up our desks lately: your reviews. Honestly, there's nothing quite like opening up the inbox to find your kind words waiting. So… we thought we'd share a few recent favourites:
BEACHMASTER AUTOMATIC: Founder's Edition: 0H0-A03-B06
Another incredible watch
"Love my EB watches. This one is amazing The only issue - I can only wear one at once!"Shaun S.
HOLTON AUTO GMT: EBINOX 101-A25 - NIVO
The best watches by far
"This is such an amazing addition to my EB watch collection. Bought it myself as a Christmas gift, and its simply incredible. feels good on the wrist, easy to operate, and stylish beyond measure. Very happy with it, and the customer service is incredible too. Answered all my questions, and helped me navigate an operator issue."Shaun S.
HOLTON: NIVO
I love this watch!
"I absolutely love this watch! I decided to get rid of plastic watches and any watch I did not wear anymore. This is now my everyday looks great but tough watch. I have something I don’t have to worry about whether I am in the office or hiking or painting the kitchen."Michael H.
HOLTON: 101-001
It's a Joy
"I just love this watch. It's well designed and simple to use. What a joy it is to have a classic watch on my wrist again, that just gives me the time and date. It's great to be able to quickly change the strap to reflect what I am doing from hiking, swimming or having dinner with friends."Steven T.
HOLTON: 101-001
New Holton 101-001
"It’s not often products live up to expectations however the Holton delivers. Superb fit on the wrist with sound engineering applied with regards to the design and general construction. Brilliant 😀"

HOLTON: NIVO
Don't sit on the fence. Jump off and buy this watch
"This watch is a piece of equipment as well as a class act. It's 43 mm wears like a smaller watch, and feels super comfortable all day long. The band is soft as your favorite sweater. I was interested in the 101-001. But the Nivo was imo a better looking piece with all the benefits of the milspec, without looking like I was on a mission. You will not be disappointed with this beautiful piece. It's a beast you'll love taming. P.s. I live in the states and even paid the outrageous tariff just to get my hands on this one."

HOLTON AUTO GMT: NIVO 101-A23
A Handsome, Tank-of-a-Watch, with real-world pedigree.
"This watch is my favourite. I have more than 30 watches in my collection – ranging from novelty digital pieces to pieces from Hamilton, Tissot, Tag, Longines, etc – but this is my favourite. The watch itself, especially the NIVO colour, is really, really great looking. It is equal parts perfectly-finished watchmaking precision, and tank-like, armoured, tactical tool. You can smash it off a doorframe during a dynamic entry, then wash it off and wear it to dinner on the same day. Just amazing and I love it. Even more amazing than the watch itself, was the customer service experience, and in particular, Gemma. Gemma is amazing and a huge credit to Elliot Brown. Thank you, Gemma."
