What reviewers and owners say
Reviewers
From 2 reviews we read or watched.
Two reviewers liked the slim 10.5 mm case and the on-the-fly adjustable clasp, and both noted that the Miyota movement has a date function with no window, so the crown has a ghost date position. One praised the finish of the case, dial and hands and the screwed bracelet links, and called the lume decent but not the best. The other compared it with a much older original and found the watch heavier (114.8 g against 99.1 g) with a larger-looking dial opening.
One reviewer's caliper readings were 37.2 mm across the case, 45.5 mm lug to lug and 10.5 mm thick. One reviewer found the clasp edges very slightly sharp.
Good
- Slim 10.5 mm case, confirmed by a reviewer's calipers
- Miyota 9000-series hi-beat automatic movement

- Milled on-the-fly adjustable clasp, liked by both reviewers
Less good
- Heavier than the original in one comparison (114.8 g against 99.1 g)
- Case measured slightly wider than listed
- Only 100 m water resistance
- The dial opening looks larger and more spread out than the original, according to the one reviewer
- Ghost date position on the crown, with no date window
- Clasp edges very slightly sharp (one reviewer)
