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.

What reviewers and owners say
Reviewers
From 2 reviews we read or watched.
Both reviewers praise the dial and the case finish, and both note that the dial and hands have no luminous material. One reviewer calls the polished case and the fluted bezel very good, and the other says the dial looks much like the brand's own photos. Each reviewer found a different fault on their own sample: one a day-of-week display sitting one click out of alignment, the other a watch that needs shaking to start after the time is set.
Good
- Fluted bezel with a polished case finish, praised by reviewers
- Full day name in a window at 12 o'clock
- Sapphire crystal with an anti-reflective treatment
- Fifteen colourways across steel, gold-tone and rose-gold finishes
- Three-piece semicircular link bracelet on most colourways
Less good
- No luminous material on the dial or hands
- One reviewer finds the case too thick for its 36 mm diameter
