ALATO Timescope Automatic 100m 39.8mmvsMonta Noble

Owners widely praise the ALATO Timescope Automatic 100m 39.8mm for its slim and sleek wearability, noting a case thickness under 11mm and a 45.5mm lug-to-lug. The use of a Sellita SW200-1b movement is a specific point of appreciation, with one commenter preferring it over a Miyota 9 series. The watch features a sapphire crystal and Super-LumiNova BGW9 lume. On balance, owners rate the ALATO Timescope Automatic 100m 39.8mm highly for its comfortable dimensions and the quality of its movement at the price point.

The Monta Noble is widely praised for its slim 9.7mm case, excellent finishing comparable to higher-end brands, and highly adjustable bracelet. Owners note its versatility and accuracy, with one reporting +2 sec/day. The well-executed date at six is also a positive point. However, some find the dial proportions off with small indices and too much open space, and the polished bezel a scratch magnet. There are mixed opinions on the clasp, with some finding it fiddly and others praising its adjustability. The crown action is described by one owner as mediocre, and a visible gasket is noted. The Monta Noble is priced at $1,600-$1,795 and features a Sellita SW300-based M-22 movement. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Monta Noble highly for its slim profile and exceptional finishing at its price point.
