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 3 reviews we read or watched.
Both reviewers liked the finish of the case, the bracelet and the honeycomb dial, and both describe the watch as clearly following the Rolex Land-Dweller. One says it does not wear small despite its size, and the other measured 44.8 mm lug to lug and about 11 mm thick, close to the brand's 45 mm and 11 mm. One notes the sapphire crystal shows little glare and the screw-down crown catches easily, and says the bracelet only suits wrists of about 8 inches or less.
Both heard the rotor spinning when the watch is worn, and one says the sound bothers him. One regrets that only 36 to 37 mm is offered and no 40 mm, and one points out that the second hand on the blue version is blue on blue.
A third reviewer, who ordered his own, called this the brand's best-finished watch he had handled: even brushing, crisp polished bevels, a five-link bracelet with a basic butterfly clasp, and a small but usable screw-down crown. He found the lume poor and the second hand stutters, as on the Miyota 8215, and he found it fits a 6.5 inch wrist well at 37 mm.
Good
- Honeycomb dial, fluted bezel and five-link bracelet like the original
- Five colourways, including a rose-gold tone
- Sapphire crystal with little glare, per one reviewer
- Thin 11 mm case
- Display case back showing a Miyota 8215
Less good
- Rotor is audible when worn, per both reviewers
- Bracelet only suits wrists of about 8 inches, per one reviewer
- No 40 mm size, unlike the original
- Lume is dull to the eye, and the hands use a lower-grade lume than the markers (one reviewer)
Known quality issues
Each reported by at least two independent sources.
- Both reviewers heard the automatic rotor spinning when the watch is worn, and one says it bothers him.
