Aigi Watches Arctic TidevsYema Navygraf Marine Nationale CMM.10

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 Yema Navygraf Marine Nationale CMM.10 is lauded for its vibrant blue dial and bezel, a clean and legible display, and its in-house CMM.10 automatic movement. Reviewers highlight the 70-hour power reserve and a price point under $2,000 as significant strengths. However, the steel bracelet's clasp is consistently noted as rattly and difficult to open, with one review describing it as feeling slightly cheap. The watch features a 39mm case with a blue sapphire bezel insert and a matte navy dial. Overall, reviewers praise the Yema Navygraf Marine Nationale CMM.10 for its attractive design and strong value proposition, despite minor criticisms of the bracelet clasp.
