What reviewers and owners say
Reviewers
From 4 reviews we read or watched, 1 of them with a watch supplied by the brand.
Three reviews describe the same compact watch: a lightweight 37 to 38 mm case, about 11.4 to 11.5 mm thick with a 45.5 mm lug-to-lug, that one reviewer found comfortable even on a larger wrist. All three liked the case finishing, the bracelet and the bezel, which two found tight with almost no back play and a crisp click. The lume is strong and even, with C3 green on the black and gold version, and the sapphire is a slightly domed box type. The same points drew criticism: the signed crown is small, one reviewer felt a slight wobble in the clasp. Some versions also have gold-toned print that does not match the silver bezel markings, which divided opinion. They agreed it is good value for a quartz diver at this size.
A fourth reviewer agreed on the main points: very good case and bracelet finishing for the money, a smooth bezel with no back play that lines up, well-fitted female end links, and bright, even lume. He noted the bracelet uses split pins rather than screws and the clasp has four micro-adjustment holes with no on-the-fly adjustment.
