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.

Orient Bambino Version 2 Small Seconds

Owners widely praise the Orient Bambino Version 2 Small Seconds as a top budget dress watch, highlighting its vintage aesthetic and upgraded in-house F6222 automatic movement which offers hacking and hand-winding. Reviewers note the case finishing, including brushed sides and a signed crown, contributes to a premium feel for its price point. Some owners find the 40mm case with its 45-46mm lug-to-lug measurement potentially too large for smaller wrists. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Orient Bambino Version 2 Small Seconds highly for its vintage design and upgraded movement at an accessible price.
