Owners widely praise the ALATO Arvet Automatic 100m 38mm for its versatile 38mm sizing, making it suitable for everyday and business-casual wear. The watch is noted for its distinctive Reuleaux triangle-inspired geometry and premium features like a screw-down crown and 100m water resistance. A custom rotor with lumen edges is also a highlighted detail. Overall, owners rate the ALATO Arvet Automatic 100m 38mm highly for its distinctive design and practical features at its price point.
Owners widely praise the Christopher Ward C65 Sandhurst Series 2 for its balanced wearability, clean British-military aesthetic, and COSC-certified accuracy. The 38mm case size aligns with a trend for smaller watches, and its mid-century design is described as ultra-legible and cool, with a gorgeous domed crystal and a MOD badge on the caseback adding charm for military enthusiasts. Some owners question its claimed military heritage compared to other brands, and a few find the 38mm size potentially too small for larger wrists. The watch features a Sellita SW200 COSC chronometer movement with Grade X1 Super-LumiNova. On balance, owners rate the Christopher Ward C65 Sandhurst Series 2 highly for its character, perfect dimensions, and COSC-certified accuracy.
The COSC-certified movement and vintage military aesthetic are praised. The sub-£1,000 price point is considered remarkable for the quality.
