What reviewers and owners say
Reviewers
From 4 reviews we read or watched, 1 of them with a watch supplied by the brand.
Reviewers are positive on the bezel: all four found it well aligned with firm, clean clicks, and two noted no back play. They also like the flat sapphire crystal, the signed screw-down crown and the green sunburst dial. They put the case at about 43.5 mm and 13.5 mm thick and call it a heavy watch, 171 to 180 g on the bracelet. Case finishing is described as good for the price, with the brushing a little rough and the polishing slightly hazy in one review and the transitions a little soft in another. The bracelet draws mixed comments: one reviewer hears it jangle and sees wide gaps between links, while another finds it well finished with tight end links. The new clasp with six adjustment holes is liked, though one reviewer found its edge a little sharp. One reviewer saw a speck of dust near the date window and a blemish on the case of his sample. One of the four reviews says the watch was received free from the brand; the others do not say who supplied it, and the channels carry discount or affiliate links.
