Why it scores as it does
Proportions and movement are computed from specs. Design details and functions are judged from the brand's official images. How we score
Lug-to-lug is neither published nor measured for one of the two watches, so there is not enough data to score.

What reviewers and owners say
Reviewers
From 2 reviews we read or watched.
Reviewers found the finishing of the case, dial and hands better than the price suggests, and liked the lume, and one found the bezel lined up well with no play. Both noted that the 39 mm case is thicker than it looks because of the domed crystal and protruding caseback, at about 14 mm, and both were happy with the jubilee-style bracelet and its milled clasp with five micro-adjust holes.
Criticisms were small. A dateless watch uses an NH35, so the crown has an unused date-change position. Two reviewers found sharp edges, at the clasp in one case and at the end links in the other. One reviewer saw the lume pip sitting off centre. Timekeeping on the two units tested was about +3 and -11 seconds a day.
Good
- Good case and dial finishing for the price, per reviewers
- Strong blue lume on hands, markers and bezel pip
- Fully milled clasp with five micro-adjust holes on the steel bracelet
- 39 mm case wears larger than its size, per one reviewer
- Sapphire crystal and 200 m water resistance
Less good
- About 14 mm thick because of the domed crystal and caseback
- NH35 movement in a dateless watch leaves a date-change position
- Sharp edges noted at the clasp and at the end links
- The original's black and gold bezel colours are not offered
Known quality issues
Each reported by at least two independent sources.
- Two reviewers found sharp edges on the bracelet: around the clasp in one review, and at the joint where the end links sit shorter than the lugs in the other.
