Archimede Watches 1950-1

Archimede Watches 1950-1 is praised for its attractive 1950s styling and German-made Ickler case. Owners note its light weight and 9.8mm thinness, making it a versatile everyday and business-casual watch. The 39mm case features bent hands that follow the dial's curve and silver Arabic numerals that appear black in many lighting conditions, with a clean date execution. The Miyota 9015 automatic movement is standard, and the watch is priced around $660 USD. The included strap is considered mediocre and too large for some wrists, and a recurring complaint involves the inconsistent performance of a bracelet's push clasp, leading some to recommend opting for a strap instead. On balance, owners rate the Archimede Watches 1950-1 highly for its classic styling and well-finished Ickler case at its price point.

One owner considers the Glycine Men's Combat Sub Sport 39mm Automatic Watch an underrated option, with its thin case and 300m water resistance contributing to its appeal. On balance, owners rate the Glycine Men's Combat Sub Sport 39mm Automatic Watch highly for its value and wearability at the price point.
