Aigi Watches Arctic TidevsVenezianico Nereide Lapislazzuli

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.

The Venezianico Nereide Lapislazzuli is widely praised for its exquisite lapis lazuli dial and the combination of Venetian tradition with valuable materials. Owners note good quality finishing and an amazing dial design suitable for everyday wear, with a comfortable and good quality bracelet. A reviewer points out the robust 42mm stainless steel case and sapphire crystal. Some owners desire a thinner and more accurate caliber than the Sellita SW200-1 movement. On balance, owners rate the Venezianico Nereide Lapislazzuli highly for its stunning lapis lazuli dial and overall finishing at the price.
