The Arctic is the first watch to bear the unusually succinct name Tool Watch Co. and it?s hoping to leave an impression on, well, tool watch enthusiasts, for it?s novel take on the genre set to launch on November the 2nd. The watch has a handful of unique traits that, for better or worse, do in fact make an impression, and while much of the watch will likely fall into the ?love it or hate it? with little room in between, there are simply too many great options already available to not come out swinging.

But is it a little too ambitious for its own good" Maybe.
