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.

KUOE ROYAL SMITH 90-012

Owners widely praise the KUOE ROYAL SMITH 90-012 for its elegant 37mm size and symmetrical bicompax layout, with the silver dial described as "insane" and highly readable. The chronograph pushers are noted for their crisp action and satisfying reset. However, reviewers flag the 14.3mm thickness as chunky for the case size, and one owner finds the date window difficult to read due to its small size and deep setting. The TMI NE86A movement offers a 45-hour power reserve and accuracy between +25 and -15 seconds per day. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the KUOE ROYAL SMITH 90-012 highly for its retro charm and attractive dial options at its price point.
