Aigi Watches Arctic TidevsMovado Series 800 Automatic

Owners report the Aigi Arctic Tide's dial markers catch the light similarly to Grand Seiko dials, and one user noted a preference for its movement over an alternative. Some owners consider the 40mm case size comfortable, while others found a 43mm variant chunky. One owner received their watch with a Miyota 9015 movement upgrade, and another experienced issues with lume and alignment on their initial unit, receiving a replacement. On balance, owners view the Aigi Arctic Tide as a decent value at its Kickstarter price, with good on-paper specifications, though concerns exist regarding the brand's newness and potential for it to be a catalogue watch.

Owners widely praise the Movado Series 800 Automatic for its fantastic appearance and durability over years of wear, with one owner noting it looks great and functions well within a $400 budget. Some owners consider it a good luck charm. A reviewer describes the quartz chronographs in the Series 800 line as tool-watch looking with a dive watch feel, featuring polished elements and a sunray dial. One owner notes that some lumed indices are cut off and date wheels are not color-matched. Owners question its value proposition compared to other brands, with second-hand prices ranging from $400-800€. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Movado Series 800 Automatic well for its aesthetic appeal and perceived durability over time.
