Why it scores as it does

What reviewers and owners say
Reviewers
From 2 reviews we read or watched.
Both reviewers found the finish good and the watch comfortable and easy to wear at 37 mm, with a case that measured about 37 mm without the crown and a lug-to-lug close to the brand's 45.5 mm. They liked the screw-link bracelet, the Seiko VH31 sweep quartz movement and the box-domed crystal, and one said the sapphire option is a worthwhile upgrade over mineral.
The remarks against it were small. One reviewer found the sunburst dial slightly overdone and the clasp sometimes feels closed when it is not, which a firm extra push fixes; the other found the clasp smooth with no sharp edges but only micro-adjustable, not on-the-fly as the sales text suggests. The brand's graphic quoting 8.6 mm thickness appears to leave out the crystal: with it the watch is about 11 mm. Neither review says it was supplied by the brand.
Good
- Compact 37 mm case with a 45.5 mm lug-to-lug, per the brand
- Box sapphire crystal with AR coating
- Seiko VH31 sweep quartz movement
- Six dial colours, including pistachio green
- BGW9 lume stays readable until morning (one reviewer)
Less good
- Only 100 m water resistance
- The brand shows conflicting dimension graphics (36 mm case, 8.6 mm thickness) against its text, so dimensions are uncertain
- Quartz, not the automatic of the original
- Sunburst dial finish is strong; one reviewer found it slightly overdone
