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.

Santurce Picúa — Swiss Automatic Dive Watch

The Santurce Picúa — Swiss Automatic Dive Watch is widely praised for its satisfying 39mm size and nuanced attention to detail for its price, featuring a sandblasted steel case and excellent luminous material application. Owners and reviewers highlight the AR-coated sapphire crystal with no glare. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the Santurce Picúa — Swiss Automatic Dive Watch highly for its detailed finishing and wearability at its price point.
