What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

Synthesized for each watch independently from owner discussions, enthusiast forums, written reviews, and video reviewers.

Audaz ADZ-2080-03

Owners widely praise the Audaz Seafarer's versatile design, fitting for both diving and formal wear, and note its NH35 automatic movement and 200m water resistance. One owner highlights the Sea Ranger's amazing lume with a gorgeous phosphorus blue color. However, some owners criticize the Audaz Sand Color Dial as a blatant copy of iconic watches, deeming the "affordable luxury" claim disingenuous, while others express skepticism about the water resistance and call it a Rolex clone. The 42mm case is noted as being a little big on smaller wrists. Overall, owners are split on the Audaz, with praise for its lume and versatility tempered by significant criticism regarding its design originality and perceived value.

KUOE ROYAL SMITH 90-006

Owners widely praise the KUOE ROYAL SMITH 90-006 for its visual appeal and sapphire crystal with AR coating. The watch functions correctly and keeps time at approximately +5 seconds per day on the wrist, powered by a Miyota 9039 movement. On balance, owners value the watch's aesthetics and specifications, though some question its overall value proposition.

From video reviewers

The watch's unique blend of modern and retro elements is a notable strength, with a textured ivory waffle dial and Breguet numerals giving it the look of a vintage watch from the 1950s and 1960s. A potential drawback is the ~$770 USD price point, which is significant for a microbrand. Reviewers disagree on the movement's accuracy, with one reviewer noting it is noisy and another describing it as a "Japanese-manufactured high beat premium automatic movement".
