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 5 reviews we read or watched.
Reviewers liked the dial finish and colours, the faceted square case with brushed and polished surfaces, the milled signed clasp and the perforated strap, though reviewers disagree on the strap material: two call it soft real leather and one calls it leatherette. Most reviewers noted that the crystal is mineral, not sapphire, and some wished for sapphire; one calls it a curved sapphire. The movement is a Seiko quartz chronograph that several reviewers call VK63, with a sweep chronograph seconds hand.
Several reviewers measured the watch larger than listed: about 40 mm wide, 15.3 to 15.5 mm thick and 47 to 48 mm lug to lug, against the brand's 39 mm, 15 mm and 38 mm. Five reviewers found 30 m engraved on the case back or stated for the watch, against 50 m on the listing, and two called the lume weak. One unit had a misprinted sub-dial legend that the reviewer says the factory plans to correct.
Good
- Square steel case with a Monaco-style profile
- Twelve listed colour and strap combinations
- Milled signed clasp, praised by reviewers

- Mineral crystal, not sapphire
- Case back says 30 m while the listing says 50 m
- Weak lume, per two reviewers
- One reviewer found a misprinted sub-dial legend
Known quality issues
Each reported by at least two independent sources.
- The case back is engraved with 30 m water resistance while the listing says 50 m (5 ATM).
