What reviewers and owners say
Reviewers
From 2 reviews we read or watched.
Both reviewers describe a unidirectional rotating bezel with a one-way click action; one calls it very light with 120 clicks and wishes it turned both ways. Both found the lume bright and long-lasting, and both describe a light titanium case and bracelet, with one praising the finishing. One found the clasp fixed with three micro-adjust holes and no on-the-fly adjustment. One reviewer names the movement as a Seiko NH34, where the brand lists a Peacock SL3032, so the movement is unconfirmed here; that reviewer's unit ran about half a minute fast a week. One reviewer bought the watch and the other's supply is not stated.
Good
- Full grade 2 titanium case and bracelet
- Sapphire crystal and ceramic 24-hour bezel insert
- Compact 39 mm case with a 47 mm lug-to-lug
- Strong BGW9 lume, including the bezel per one reviewer
- 200 m water resistance
- Light titanium watch that stays comfortable over a day, per a reviewer who wore it for three weeks
Less good
- Bezel action is light and not bidirectional per the one reviewer read
- Clasp is a basic sporty type without on-the-fly adjustment per the same reviewer
- Bracelet and conventional lugs instead of the original's fixed lugs
- One reviewer names the movement as a Seiko NH34, where the brand lists a Peacock SL3032; unconfirmed
