As the world fully embraced quartz technology in the late 20th century, the 1980s became a golden era of innovation, giving rise to some of the most unique and futuristic digital timepieces ever created. The Casio A130 brings back the best of ’80s gadget aesthetics, blending retro-cool charm with everyday practicality in a sleek, modern digital watch.

The A130WE-1AEF is part of the new A130 series, (which also includes the all-silver A130WE-7A, the gold A130WEG-9A, and the gunmetal A130WEGG-1A). It features a resin case, a stainless steel bracelet, and a multi-function LCD display with a hybrid digital-analog layout—reminiscent of something Roger Moore might have worn. Despite its bold design, it’s surprisingly lightweight and slim, measuring 40.5mm × 33.9mm × 9mm and weighing just 54g. Packed with features like world time (48 cities), multi-time zone support, five alarms, a stopwatch, a countdown timer, and a full-auto calendar, the A130WE-1AEF is a stylish throwback we’d gladly wear daily.

Best of all, its incredibly affordable price—ranging from approximately $76 to $71—makes it an easy recommendation for any collection.

Ridge’s 12th birthday is coming up, and of course there’s going to be cake. Or in this case, cake colorways. The Ridge Dessert Warrior Collection is a fun, limited-edition take on Ridge’s popular everyday carry gear, each with a unique, playful design that’s been a fun staple in the community since its origins in a collaboration between Blade HQ and Boker. The set is a celebration of Ridge’s 12th anniversary and includes three of Ridge’s most loved offerings: the Ridge Wallet, Everyday Folder, and KeyCase, all featuring a light pink base, chocolate brown hardware, and mint green accents, inspired by sweet treats. Don’t let the lighthearted designs fool you, though. Each piece maintains Ridge’s signature solid build quality, making them just as reliable as they are eye-catching. Since this collection is only available as a complete kit with no planned restocks, it’s a one-time release for those who appreciate a bit of fun (and a whole lot of pink) in their EDC gear.

Vosteed has been on an absolute tear with their recent releases. It seems every new knife brings something new to the table, and the Vosteed Akita is no different. It features a 2.94″ Bowie blade made from S35VN steel, one of our favorites for its excellent edge retention and corrosion resistance. But what sets this knife apart is its use of Vosteed’s recent Vanchor Lock mechanism, a hybrid system that combines a pivot and button for smooth, effortless operation.

This lock uses a magnetic connector and reinforced plate to keep the blade secure while maintaining a clean, low-profile design. Paired with ceramic ball bearings, the Akita opens and closes smoothly, whether you prefer the front flipper or thumb hole. The aluminum handle, available in Sunshine or Golf Ball milling, provides a comfortable grip with a bit of vintage character. If you appreciate Bowie blade designs like we do, then you’ll find a lot to like here.
