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.

Invicta Pro Diver 9110

Owners widely praise the Invicta Pro Diver 9110 as a great value, particularly under $100, with one owner noting accuracy around 4 seconds gained per day and no scratches on the mineral crystal after three months of wear. The 40mm case is considered comfortable for all-day wear, even on larger wrists, and the watch has proven durable enough for hard use and reliable for a decade of daily wear for some. However, some owners report issues with build quality, including a watch falling apart in just over two years and a rubber strap breaking. Overall, owners rate the Invicta Pro Diver 9110 highly for its value and wearability, with its resemblance to iconic dive watches being a significant draw.
