What reviewers and owners say
Reviewers
From 5 reviews we read or watched.
Reviewers who handled the AD2112 were positive about the compact, flat-wearing case, the finishing of the case and dial, and the lume, which they describe as bright and well applied. Measured lug-to-lug figures are close to 48 mm, and reviewers found the proportions comfortable.
The repeated complaints concern the bracelet versions they reviewed: a pressed (stamped) clasp, which several wanted replaced with a milled one, and a brand logo that some dislike. Reviewers also disagree on the movement, with three naming a dateless NH38 and two naming an NH35. The leather-strap versions on the brand listing were not what most of them tested.
Good
- Compact 38 mm case with a lug width of 20 mm
- Bright, even lume on hands and markers, per reviewers
- Case and dial finishing praised for the price
- Clean Explorer-style dial with no date window
- Boxed sapphire with a slight AR tint and little edge distortion, per one reviewer
Less good
- On the bracelet versions, reviewers found a pressed clasp
- Some reviewers dislike the brand logo on the dial
- Brand page does not state the crystal or lume material
- Movement named differently by brand and reviewers
- On the bracelet version, push pins rather than screw pins, per one reviewer
