What reviewers and owners say
Reviewers
From 4 reviews we read or watched.
Reviewers praised the white dial, which has a rippled metallic texture that catches the light, and found the sapphire clear with little glare. Two found the finishing on the case and under the crown clean, with no sharp edges, and two called the bezel action tactile or well aligned. One reported a bezel with some back play and slight misalignment, a bracelet that rattles a little, and a movement running about +6 seconds a day.
The clasp drew the most criticism: all four called it a basic pressed or folded unit, although one found its tolerances tight, and three called it the weak point of the watch. Two said the case wears smaller than 43.8 mm suggests because of the short lug to lug; one found it wears large.
Good
- Textured white dial that reviewers found striking
- Short lug to lug for the case size
- Flat sapphire crystal
- Three levels of clasp micro-adjustment, per reviewers
- Clean finishing under the crown, per one reviewer
Less good
- Basic pressed clasp
- Some bezel back play on one reviewer's unit
- 14 mm thick
- Bracelet rattle on one reviewer's unit
Known quality issues
Each reported by at least two independent sources.
- Three reviewers described the bracelet clasp as a basic pressed or folded unit that feels cheap next to the rest of the watch.
