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.

Hamilton Ventura XXL Skeleton Auto

The Hamilton Ventura XXL Skeleton Auto is recognized for its bold, avant-garde design featuring a unique triangular case. It is powered by a skeletonized H-10-S or ETA C07.901 movement, providing an 80-hour power reserve. The watch includes a black dial with sunray brushing and hands treated with Super-LumiNova, and comes on an integrated rubber strap. Reviewers note that while its distinctive aesthetic is a significant appeal, precise time-reading may not be its main focus. On balance, the Hamilton Ventura XXL Skeleton Auto is appreciated for its striking, statement-making design and substantial power reserve.
