Giorgio Piola G5 Watch Review

After wearing and testing the Giorgio Piola G5 watch I've ended up being really happy with this motorsport-themed mechanical watch bearing the name of a famed automotive illustrator In addition to selling prints of his artwork and some apparel, Mr Piola has become a watch designer.

Full of colors and sporting now cliche design elements from all manner of racing vehicles, I was understandably hesitant about reviewing a watch from a new brand when similar watches did little to impress me in the past The problem goes back to the design of the watch and whether that design takes visual cues from the world of racing and applies them into a watch, or if a wristwatch is designed in order to exist within the universe of racing equipment and gear - while still solidly being an instrument The G5 watch is not perfect, but it is a great first attempt.

My main complaint about the watch is the strap and buckle Anyone getting one of these watches today could easily change the strap in the future if one were to come out, since it wouldn't change the watch itself. . Source
