RED 8 : DESIGNED ON EARTH, MADE IN ASIA Although the watches were launched on 1st September 2009, I've taken a while to post because I did not want to just reproduce the press release, without any experience of the watch. Red8 is the latest offering of 'l...  

On-The-Wrist Review: RED 8 Although the watches were launched on 1st September 2009, I've taken a while to post because I did not want to just reproduce the press release, without any experience of the watch. The test watch was provided by RED8WORLD but t...  

Having had a chance to view the RED8, I have to say, I thought this wristwatch was well finished and had the appearance of a watch that cost thrice its actual price. The one thing I really liked about the watch was the strap of the watch and the versatili...

I expect an ordinary quartz movement even if it is kinetic.

I don't know if the Red8 watches have enough to make them stand out though. Yes the red crown will be their distinguising mark, but is that enough? My 2 cents, Anthony

Anthony, I thought that at first, which is why 1st impressions may not always be the final answer. The watches are well constructed and every component seems to be well selected. The sum of the parts is more than the parts. Experienced Swiss watchmakers a... 

Yet another watch catered so largely to the Asian population...with the emphasis on the number "8" and the color red...and also the value. I have to say though that I really like the red colored crown which does seem fun and unique. I can't say the same f...
