What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Alsta Superautomatic

Owners and reviewers widely praise the Alsta Superautomatic's excellent retro 70s dive watch design, with a strong connection to the movie Jaws. The contrasting case finishes and dial build quality are well-regarded, and the comfortable Tropic strap is a plus. However, the watch is considered egregiously overpriced at MSRP, with some noting a Seiko NH35 movement and stamped clasp as disappointing for the price. The bezel lacks lume, and one reviewer criticized the bracelet's poor detailing and less crisp machining. The Alsta Superautomatic is seen as a fun summer piece around $500-600, oozing 70s cool. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the Alsta Superautomatic highly for its vintage-inspired design and Jaws movie connection, despite significant price concerns at MSRP.

From video reviewers

The Alsta Superautomatic offers excellent value for its price point. Reviewers noted that the lume is on par with Seiko.

Henry Archer Tidslinje

Owners widely praise the Henry Archer Tidslinje for its superb build quality, captivating dial designs, and comfortable wearability, with many highlighting its 40mm size and 12.1mm thickness as very wearable. The triple date function is appreciated for its utility and collection variety, and the beads of rice bracelet is frequently noted for its comfort and quality. Accuracy figures vary, with some owners reporting +/- 2-4 seconds per day and others around 10-15 seconds per day as advertised. Some owners find the day/month indicators and the numbering for days of the week to be tiny and hard to read, and the black bezel is considered disproportionately large and cosmetic by some. One owner noted disappointment that a micro-adjust clasp is no longer offered on the Lunaris model. Overall, owners rate the Henry Archer Tidslinje highly for its captivating design and excellent value for money.
