Welcome to Watches Rated, where we methodically review the most exciting watches on a 100-point scale so that you can make the best-informed decisions when purchasing your next watch. After watching and reading countless other watch reviews, we noticed the same thing over and over again: subjective reviews that sound like they are written by the manufacturer (spoiler alert, many of them are). We differentiate our reviews by defining exactly what criteria we are reviewing, what score we think the watch deserves, and our honest opinions.

Our reviews concentrate on four primary criteria: design, construction, movement and other factors to consider. Each category is broken down into 5 sub-categories, which allows us to precisely show what makes a good, great or exceptional watch.

Today, we are reviewing one of my favorite watches, the Tudor Black Bay Chrono “Reverse Panda”. The watch features a modern 41mm diameter case with a polished stainless steel body and aluminum bezel. Selling at retail for $5,500 on a stainless steel bracelet (and also generally available lightly-used on the secondary market for about $1,000 cheaper), the Tudor Black Bay Chrono is consistent with Tudor’s renewed ethos of producing top-quality watches that are still “affordable” for most collectors.
