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 Chrono

Owners widely praise the Astor + Banks Chrono for its sporty design, wrist-friendly 38.5mm size, and enthusiast-friendly price starting at $525. One reviewer notes the date numeral is consistently half in shadow due to deep-set placement. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the Astor + Banks Chrono highly for its design and value at the price point.

Boldr Rally

Owners widely praise the Boldr Rally's compact 38mm titanium case and excellent value under A$500. The VK64 mecaquartz movement has proven reliable for years, and the sapphire crystal is a welcome feature. Some owners find the dial busy and difficult to read, particularly the black hands against the black subdial, and note the bead-blasted titanium case can be a scratch magnet. The default straps have been described as boring or not holding up to daily wear. Overall, owners rate the Boldr Rally highly for its robust titanium construction and excellent value, despite some legibility concerns.

From video reviewers

The 38mm titanium case with a 44mm lug-to-lug measurement provides a comfortable and compact fit. The 200m water resistance is noted as robust for a chronograph. The 14mm thickness was mentioned as potentially substantial for the watch's size.
