Reviews

Synthesized for each watch independently from owner discussions, enthusiast forums, written reviews, and video reviewers.

Alkin Watches Model Two

Owners praise the Alkin Watches Model Two for its exceptional dial legibility and minimalist dive watch design. The watch is considered a decent value proposition, featuring a sapphire crystal and the Miyota 9039 automatic movement, with pre-orders priced at £325. Overall, owners rate the Alkin Watches Model Two highly for its clear dial and value at the price point.

From video reviewers

The watch features extreme lume and a reliable Miyota 9039 movement. Reviewers noted disagreement on the utility of the internal bi-directional bezel for quick timing compared to a standard external bezel.

Christopher Ward C60 Trident Reef

The Christopher Ward C60 Trident Reef is widely praised for its vibrant, multi-layered dials and fun, affordable design, with owners appreciating its value and unique aesthetic. Reviewers note the 41mm case size is well-proportioned and wears comfortably due to curved lugs, and the FKM rubber strap is considered comfortable. Some owners desire a fully lumed bezel, and a minority dislike the Bader bracelet. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the Christopher Ward C60 Trident Reef highly for its distinctive design and strong value proposition.

From video reviewers

The dial's vibrant color and unique texture are strong points. The bezel's grip and functionality are a shared weakness. Reviewers disagreed on the watch's value proposition relative to Seiko divers.
