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.

Redux HONNR A-9 — Titanium Mission Watch

Owners praise the Redux HONNR A-9 — Titanium Mission Watch for its excellent readability, comfortable 37mm titanium case that wears larger, and durable construction with a scratch-hiding sapphire/ceramic bezel. The unique industrial design and 4 o'clock crown are also highlighted, along with good value at its Kickstarter price. However, the Miyota 9015 movement's rotor is noted as loud and wobbly with less-than-smooth winding. Some owners report underwhelming lume and a bezel that is off by half a click, while others found the included strap too bulky. Overall, owners rate the Redux HONNR A-9 — Titanium Mission Watch highly for its distinctive design and comfortable wearability at its price point.
