A 50mm Analog-Digital Combo With an Attitude problem

Words/Photography: Me. Gear’d Hardware provided this Juggernaut at no-charge for the purposes of this review.

When I was a kid I was an avid comic book reader. My dad collected Conan the Barbarian, and I took an interest in the X-Men. My favorite was Wolverine (obviously), and what I really liked about them is that they always had a host of baddies that they were constantly slugging it out with.

But the baddie I’m thinking of is one of Marvel’s most underrated: Juggernaut, an immortal avatar of the mysterious entity Cyttorak. Nigh invincible, Juggernaut proved to be one of the X-Men’s most physically daunting and challenging foes.

Like the fictional character that shares its namesake, the Juggernaut by Gear’d Hardware evokes images of massive muscularity, steel, and strength.

Given that the brand is founded by a jacked-up bodybuilder, it shouldn’t surprise anyone that the Juggernaut watch is built and styled as over the top as it is. With a diameter of 50mm – not counting the four pushers – the Juggernaut as big as its name implies and can really only be pulled off by guys with arms the size of tree trunks.

If you’ve ever read one of my reviews before, you know that as the founder of the wimpy wristed society, said “tree trunk” description doesn’t apply to me.
