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

What reviewers and owners say
We haven't read enough independent reviews of this model to summarise them yet.
Good
- Sapphire crystal with AR coating and a screw-on caseback
- Solid 316L integrated bracelet with a butterfly clasp
- Three movement options (YN55, PT5000, SW200)
- Brushed case with polished chamfers
Less good
- Push-pull crown rather than screw-down
- No half links on the bracelet, which one reviewer found makes sizing hard with a butterfly clasp
- Brand lists no lug width and the bracelet is integrated, so straps do not fit
- Polished surfaces pick up fingerprints and scratches (one reviewer)
