Storm Watches

I first fell in love with Storm watches in 1998, when I saw a band member of my favourite group sporting the Storm Navigator. It would be nine years before I would own my own, but boy was it worth it! Storm is basically a designer make of cool watches (they do other things but this review category is about the watches). They are typically futuristic designs, in brushed steel with blue faces. They are often large, chunky and impractical dress watches and the average one will set you back £100 easily, although some are just £60, all the way up to around £200. The thing I like about these watches is the way the designs stand out as being different. ...  Read the complete review

Storm have really captured a niche in the watch market. By targeting an audience of people who can't afford a Rolex or a Gucci, but nevertheless don't want to spend their day with a cheap watch and unattractive watch, Storm have made quite a name for themselves in the 'must have' stakes. They have achieved this through the combination of reasonably priced watches, incorporating a range catering for male and female, conservative through to completely insane and all with Storm's unmistakable style factor. Their unusual stylish designs are often imitated but there just seems to be something missing. I have worn Storm watches for nearly ...  Read the complete review

I hear those words so often, "is that a storm watch you're wearing?". Storm has to be one of the most instantly recogniseable watches around and so I have to say from the start that if it will really irritate you people saying that, then buy something else! That aside in the year that I have had my watch I have been on time, trendy and happy!! Storm watches are available from many retailers, some jewellers and department stores,Freemans catalogue and I do believe you can order them from the company direct. The best bit is that they are actually quite reasonable at between £50-80 and when I was looking across the spectrum of watches, Tag heurs, ...  Read the complete review

I had a Storm Oceanic watch given to me as a gift for Christmas 2000 and 18 months on, I still love the look of the watch. I agree with many people that Storm make lovely looking watches without having to break the bank to own one. The one critisism I have about this watch is the battery life. The watch has a battery for the digital readout and a battery for the analogue operation, but Storm quote 2 years life expectancy from the batteries, but as far as the analogue battery is concerned, that estimate is way out, as they often last under a year, sometimes little more than 6 months. The light illumination feature is hardly ever used ...  Read the complete review

These stainless steel watches have been copied many times, but you still can’t beat a Storm watch for plain good looks. There are plenty of styles to choose from, some minimalist (I wear a watch with a numberless blue mirror behind the hands) to flash (such as one I saw where a button press flicks two clock faces out of a steel cover). I don’t know how practical some are, for example there’s one where you have to look in a flip-up mirror to read the reversed face, but they still look good. And of course you can always pick one to suit yourself, so if you don’t think you’ll be able to use one style comfortably you can always go for a ...  Read the complete review
