Reviews

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

Aragon Armour 3D SII NH35 Automatic

The Aragon Armour 3D SII NH35 Automatic is praised for its mesmerizing build and dial, with owners noting its fun, "look at me!" vibe and solid construction for the price, powered by a reliable Seiko NH35 movement. However, the watch's 50mm size and fluorescent colors are polarizing, with one owner finding it too large and heavy for comfortable wear. Some also question the brand's rapid model releases and design choices, such as the lack of a lumed bezel pip on dive models. On balance, owners appreciate the Aragon Armour 3D SII NH35 Automatic for its bold aesthetics and solid build at its price point, though its substantial size is a significant consideration.

Ratio FreeDiver 1000M 1068HA90

Owners widely praise the Ratio FreeDiver 1000M 1068HA90 for its robust build, excellent finishing, and solid construction, with one owner noting its case finishing is excellent and the stainless band is comfortable. The watch features genuine 1000m water resistance, a sapphire crystal, and a helium escape valve, with its lume described as brighter than that on other dive watches. One owner reported an unacceptable 66 bezel clicks, though others found the bezel to have great feel and minimal back play. Overall, owners rate the Ratio FreeDiver 1000M 1068HA90 highly for its extreme water resistance and value at a competitive price.
