- Slim polished rim around the crystal with the dial filling the face2.5 / 5Rim around the crystal is a broad, mostly brushed step with a narrow polished edge, so it is not the original's slim polished rim, though the dial and minute track fill the face.

What reviewers and owners say
Reviewers
From 4 reviews we read or watched, 1 of them with a watch supplied by the brand.
Four hands-on reviews cover this model. Reviewers liked the dual-crown layout, the very bright multi-colour lume, the brushed steel case and the sapphire case back at this price. One praised the case finishing, and one found the lume bright and long-lasting with a lit pip on the inner bezel. Mixed points: three reviewers say the inner-ring crown is not screw-down, one that the ring turns without distinct clicks, and one found the day wheel sits off centre in its window. The movement and crystal are in conflict between sources: the brand and one reviewer give a Miyota 8205 with a sapphire crystal (that reviewer tested it as sapphire on both sides), while two reviewers found a Seagull ST1632 inside and judged the crystal to be mineral. Measured lug to lug was 49.2 to 49.7 mm, thickness 13.5 mm and lug width 20 mm.
