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.

Praesidus Arctic Field

The Praesidus Arctic Field is noted for its good readability and a faux patina that suits its style, with a blue anti-reflective coating on the sapphire crystal being a welcome detail. One reviewer highlights its 38mm titanium case with a brushed finish and 11.35mm thickness as well-crafted and elegant. On balance, reviewers find the Praesidus Arctic Field to be a readable and well-finished field watch.
