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.
Proportions— / 30
- Case diameter12 / 12Same size
- Lug-to-lug0 / 8Not published, left out
- Thickness0 / 65.1 mm apart
- Lug width0 / 4Not published, left out
Design signatures— / 40
- Rounded octagonal bezel9 / 9The bezel is an octagon with rounded corners in the official images, close to the original's profile.
- Two curved ears on the case sides3.5 / 7The case sides are bevelled and the bracelet joins the case smoothly. The distinct curved ears of the original are not clearly shaped.
- Blue dial with horizontal grooves8 / 8The blue dial has horizontal grooves in the official images. The same grooved texture appears on the other dials.
- Integrated bracelet8 / 8A brushed link bracelet runs straight into the case in every official colourway.
- Porthole-inspired bezel and flanks2 / 4The flanks have a stepped bevel. The rounded porthole-style flanks of the original are not clearly reproduced.
- Mix of brushed and polished case surfaces4 / 4The official images show a brushed top surface with polished bevels on the case.
Functions and materials— / 20

- Case and bezel materials4 / 4The brand states 316L stainless steel, as the original's steel case and bracelet.
- Crystal shape and date window2 / 4The brand states sapphire with an anti-reflective treatment. The original record has no crystal data, and the brand does not state a cyclops or a crystal shape.

What reviewers and owners say
Reviewers
From 6 reviews we read or watched.
Reviewers rate the case, dial and finishing well for the price. The integrated bracelet, the sapphire crystal and the brushed and polished case get the most praise. The main criticisms are the bracelet, where two reviewers describe a kink or a lack of fluidity; the butterfly clasp, which two reviewers dislike and one says wobbles; and the luminous material, which one reviewer finds very weak. Reviewers measure the case 11.5 to 12 mm thick, against the brand's 13.4 mm, and five of the six name a Seagull ST6 movement where the brand lists an ST16.
Good
- Sapphire crystal with an anti-reflective treatment
- Integrated link bracelet that reviewers describe as well finished
- Finishing praised for the price, with brushed and polished surfaces on the case
- Dial that reviewers praise, with fine horizontal grooves
Less good
- Two reviewers find the bracelet stiff or kinked where it meets the case
- Two reviewers dislike the butterfly clasp, and one says it wobbles
- One reviewer finds the luminous material very weak; another calls it acceptable for the price
Known quality issues
Each reported by at least two independent sources.
- Two reviewers describe the bracelet as stiff: one reports a kink where it meets the case that stops it draping, and the other says the links lack fluidity.
