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 Fortitude Pro

Owners and reviewers widely praise the Astor + Banks Fortitude Pro for its scratch-resistant coating, thin and compact 38.5mm case, and versatile dial options. The layered finishing with polished chamfers and comfortable bracelet are frequently highlighted as strong points, contributing to its wearability. One owner notes good timekeeping, while a reviewer states the Miyota 9015 movement is adjusted to +/-10 seconds per day. A potential drawback mentioned is the date numeral appearing in half shadow due to anti-magnetic shielding, and one owner considers the bracelet clasp dated. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Astor + Banks Fortitude Pro highly for its durable construction and thoughtful design at its price point.

Bremont The Meta Kronos

Bremont The Meta Kronos is praised for its comfortable 40mm size, retro sapphire crystal, and simple dial. Owners note its GMT function and call it a "strap monster." This specific Meta employee edition is a custom S302 Kronos GMT limited to around 54 pieces, featuring a modified automatic movement, GMT functionality, and a custom dial with "move fast" text and Meta-specific colors. It is offered for $3700 plus shipping. On balance, owners value Bremont The Meta Kronos for its wearable size and classic dive watch aesthetic.
