Sixteen years ago, an Esquire reader asked Nick Sullivan—then our fashion director, now our creative director—to recommend a watch that's "mediocre in price but stylish enough that I can wear it for all occasions for all eternity." Nick's answer: a Casio. I have no reason to believe the reader was Colin Farrell, but over the weekend the actor showed up to an event in L.A. with a Casio on his wrist, proving you can wear one for any occasion. We've got all the details on the watch, as well as the particular way he wore it, below. – Michael Sebastian, editor-in-chief Plus: |

The actor appears to be a fan of the timepiece, which he wore on Sunday in a military style. |
Traditionally, only military personnel have worn watches on the inside of their wrist. It protects the glass from glare and damage while ensuring that luminous dials can't be seen by enemies in low-light environments. Now, it's safe to say that Colin Farrell wasn't expecting any enemy fire when he turned up to the HBO Max Emmy Nominee Celebration in Los Angeles on Sunday. And yet! When he sat on stage for a panel talk around The Penguin, the Irish actor was "inside-wristing" his dress watch all the same. Of course, that meant it was quite hard to ID. The available press shots offer only glimpses of the watch model, which to untrained eyes could be mistaken for a Cartier Tank. But we're pretty sure it's something far more affordable. It's a Casio. |

There have only been five ocean crossings in a solo kayak. I was number five, and I'm the first to have done two different oceans: the Atlantic and Pacific. I didn't just wake up and say, "I'm going to cross an ocean." It took years for my body to become accustomed to those kinds of distances, and because I was alone, I had to be physically, mentally, and emotionally prepared at all times. I missed my loved ones—parents, kids, and friends—on land. So I humanized objects and animals. Let's say that it was wet out and "Frenchie," my flag, moved in a weird way. "Oh, you're not happy because you're wet," I'd say. Maybe I'd see a fish and talk to it: "Fishy, you want to follow me? Come on, just be my friend." And then the fish might follow me for two or three days. A bird came to see me every day for a couple months. "Oh, you're coming to check on me?" I'd ask. "That's so nice of you. We're in this together." |

Keegan Bradley has one of the biggest spotlight in sports pointed at him right now. Not only is he the U.S. Ryder Cup captain, a massive undertaking in its own right, but he's also 13th in the PGA Tour standings and making a solid case to be the first player-captain at the Ryder Cup since Arnold Palmer in 1963. The morning after placing 17th at the BMW Championship at Caves Valley in Maryland, Bradley is in Manhattan at the Ralph Lauren men's-store mansion for the official release of Ralph Lauren's 2025 U.S. Ryder Cup uniforms. The 39-year-old golfer is rolling interviews all day, and it'll continue until the PGA Tour finale at East Lake in Atlanta this weekend. It's where Bradley will get his last chance to see his fellow pros play—and make a case for himself—before convening with his vice captains to select the final six golfers for the U.S. Ryder Cup team. "You arrive to the Ryder Cup, and in your hotel room the uniform is hung up for throughout the week," he says. "When you first see it and feel it, that's when it becomes real that you're on the team." |
