Another week, another Good Finds, the part of the internet where we collate our favourite products dropped (or more likely discovered by us) this week. Whether it's a long-awaited watch release, a clever piece of tech, or something you never knew you needed, if it earns a spot here, it's worth your attention.
Seiko Alpinist Mechanical GMT
For three years, the one Seiko Alpinist GMT everyone wanted – the green dial, gilt-handed version – was a Japan-only model, which meant either a trip to Tokyo or paying grey-market tax to a reseller.
Well, after a trip into Sydney’s CBD to see the 2026 models this week (with some remaining firmly under embargo), I can confirm that Seiko has finally fixed that with the Prospex Alpinist Mechanical GMT (HBC007), taking the Japan-exclusive SBEJ005 and rolling it out globally as a permanent, non-limited addition to the Prospex line.

Work And Stream From Anywhere (Literally)
There was a time when "portable monitor" meant sacrificing size, quality, or both. Samsung's latest effort (which we won’t mention looks like a child’s tablet without the stand) takes a very different approach.
The 27-inch The Movingstyle LSM7F pairs a QHD touchscreen with a height-adjustable stand on wheels – perfect for use in the kitchen, bedroom, or living room. And because it runs Samsung's smart TV platform, complete with built-in streaming apps and wireless connectivity, it can double as a second monitor during the day before rolling into movie-night duty after hours. It's a niche product on paper, but well worth checking out if you’re constantly on the go or find yourself sharing the telly in the front room.

Layering Season, Solved
ssstein's Spring/Summer 2027 menswear collection has just landed, which means it'll hit Australian wardrobes right as we actually need it – seasonal naming conventions be damned.
In just his second season showing in Paris, Designer Kiichiro Asakawa has built a complete range that centres on relaxed tailoring, washed outerwear, structured coats, and roomy shirting, all designed to layer over lightweight knits.
Also, the palette isn’t exactly flashy – charcoal, taupe, olive, faded navy – which gives the pieces a more timeless appeal beyond just the transient winter months here in Australia.
Dry July Doesn't Have To Be Dry
I'm doing Dry July, and while Heaps Normal has become a permanent fixture in the fridge, there's only so much non-alcoholic beer one person can drink before looking to mix up the rotation. And whilst most of the non-alc wine options I’ve found tend to lean more into their own category of tepid juice, discovering French Bloom Le Blanc this week may have turned this month into something worth celebrating.
The French Maison has spent the past few years proving that alcohol-free sparkling wine doesn't have to taste like an afterthought, earning World's Best Alcohol-Free Sparkling Wine three years running, whilst still finding its way onto wine lists at more than 500 Michelin-starred restaurants.
French Bloom starts life like any wine from organically grown Chardonnay (and, in the case of the Rosé, Pinot Noir) from Limoux before undergoing traditional winemaking and a dealcoholisation process.
With four cuvées ranging from the ever-approachable Le Blanc through to the oak-aged L'Extra Brut and flagship La Cuvée Vintage 2023, there's something for everyone.
