Welcome to Tokyo Watches (aka Ginza Watches)! I'm Mr. Tim from The Magic Crayons-a watch enthusiast, cyclist, and teacher based in Tokyo. I review watches I own, focusing on diver and aviator styles for their readability and water resistance-perfect for daily wear, riding bikes, or taking a dip in the sea.

I typically spend under $300, favoring microbrands like Techne, Dan Henry, Jack Mason, Momentum, and classics like Seiko and Citizen. With the yen's recent fluctuations, I've become more selective, making each purchase count. Solar-powered and automatic watches are a plus, and my design background draws me to skeleton watches and chronographs for their aesthetic appeal.

All reviews are based on a year of use, providing honest, unbiased feedback. I purchase every watch myself-no sponsorships.
