The Aigi Watches GLACIER RECTANGULAR is praised for its unique "antenna dome" dial texture, which owners find visually appealing and complementary to the seconds hand. One owner describes the dial's appearance as akin to looking out an airplane window after breaking through clouds. The watch features a Miyota 5Y20 quartz movement, a 24mm case, and 50m water resistance. Overall, owners appreciate the distinctive dial design of the Aigi Watches GLACIER RECTANGULAR.
The Swatch Something New is viewed as a fun fashion watch with a simple quartz movement, plastic case, and 30m water resistance, suitable for matching an outfit or as a travel novelty. One owner advises avoiding Swatch due to perceived iffy quality control, though acknowledges the brand's history and increased durability over time. Overall, owners view the Swatch Something New as a novelty fashion item rather than a serious timepiece.
