What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Astor + Banks AB Clásico

The Astor + Banks Silver is praised for its nice finishing on the case and dial, with a nice texture on the dial. The watch's lug-to-lug fit is relatively slim, making it comfortable to wear. A weakness of the watch is its lume, which could be a bit brighter.

Geckota Pioneer Special Edition

Owners widely praise the Geckota Pioneer for its retro-futuristic design and quality build at £349, with one owner noting excellent lume comparable to Panerai and a striking dial that shifts with light. The textured black honeycomb dial and 200m water resistance are also highlighted as strong points. However, some find the 14mm thickness a bit tall, and the NH 35 movement is considered unexciting by some. One owner points out that the thin cross-hair on the dial can be difficult to see from a distance. Overall, owners rate the Geckota Pioneer highly for its distinctive vintage space-age design and strong value proposition.
