What reviewers and owners say
Reviewers
From 3 reviews we read or watched, 1 of them with a watch supplied by the brand.
The reviewers found the finishing good and the sapphire crystal clear with a good coating, and two found the bezel action good with no back play. They liked the textured gradient dial and the compact fit, and described the NH35 as a reliable, hacking movement.
The clasp was the one shared criticism: it is a basic pressed folding unit, and two reviewers wished for a better one. One said it has three micro-adjustment holes and no half links, which might stop a perfect fit. Another found the transitions between polished and brushed surfaces softer than on the brand's other watches, and a third noted that the lug turn-down is small.
