Synthesized for each watch independently from owner discussions, enthusiast forums, written reviews, and video reviewers.
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.
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.
The Second Hour Shoal Deep — Second Hour is praised for its value, dynamic orange dial, and beads of rice bracelet. Owners note subtle color differences between the hardened steel and case, and suggest the bracelet would be more cohesive with endlinks matching the case texture. One owner dislikes the dial and caseback design, preferring a no-date movement and questioning the utility of a 12-hour bezel on a dive watch, finding it lacks a minute/seconds track. Overall, owners rate the Second Hour Shoal Deep — Second Hour highly for its value and bracelet design.
