What reviewers and owners say
Reviewers
From 4 reviews we read or watched.
Reviewers describe a well-finished case for the price, with a high polish on the bezel and sides and brushed lugs. The lugs are 20 mm in each review that gives a figure. Two reviewers describe a green tint in the crystal. Reviewers like the orange seconds hand, and one says it grew on them. The clasp is mixed: two reviewers praise it, and two describe sharp corners or edges. The bracelet and lume were not judged consistently, so they are not summarised here.
