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 Terra Scout

Owners praise the Astor + Banks Terra Scout for its compelling value and well-executed sandwich dial. The watch features a La Joux-Perret G100 movement regulated to +/- 8 seconds per day with a 68-hour power reserve, and offers 200 meters of water resistance within a compact 38.5mm case. Some reviewers noted a desire for a no-date configuration. On balance, owners and reviewers find the Astor + Banks Terra Scout a well-priced and compelling field-style watch.

From video reviewers

The watch's classic proportions meeting modern aesthetics result in a solid and substantial feel. The layered sandwich dial with a dedicated minute track is a thoughtful execution of the brand's design language. The watch's water-resistance is not mentioned, potentially leaving users uncertain about its capabilities.

Borealis Watch Co. Porto Covo

The Borealis Porto Covo is widely praised for its 39mm size and unique cantilevered indices that create a 3D effect and depth. Owners note the indices' floating appearance is a well-executed design. One owner reported poor accuracy and a terse customer service response, while another wished for a 42mm size option. The $395 price is considered reasonable for a microbrand, though some feel it does not compare favorably to AliExpress options. Overall, owners appreciate the Borealis Porto Covo for its distinctive dial design and wearable 39mm case size.
