Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Echo/Neutra Averau 39 Moon Phase

Owners widely praise the Echo/Neutra Averau 39 Moon Phase for its clear dial, excellent lume, and the unique, readable moon phase complication, with many finding the 39mm size perfect for a field watch and appreciating the overall finishing and bracelet quality. Some owners find setting the moon phase requires frequent adjustment and can be difficult to set accurately, while one owner noted the moon phase model is thicker than anticipated but still wears well. On balance, owners rate the Echo/Neutra Averau 39 Moon Phase highly for its distinctive design and strong value.

From video reviewers

The moon phase complication is a notable strength, integrating a high-end feature into a field watch design. Reviewers did not reach a consensus on any specific weaknesses.

KUOE OLD SMITH 90-002 Bronze

Owners widely praise the KUOE OLD SMITH 90-002 Bronze for its vintage military aesthetic and comfortable 35mm wearability, noting the lug design allows it to fit well on wrists around 7 inches. The Seiko NH-35 movement is reported to be reliable, keeping time within +2 to +3 seconds per day. Some owners dislike the 18mm lug width and the PVD coating on the NATO strap hardware, which does not match the bronze case. Overall, owners rate the KUOE OLD SMITH 90-002 Bronze highly for its vintage appeal and comfortable wearability.

From video reviewers

The watch's bronze case finish is a notable strength, with reviewers highlighting its unique patina and subtle aging effect. A weakness is the lume brightness, which may be a drawback for those who prioritize nighttime readability. Reviewers agree on the watch's movement accuracy, citing the reliable and accurate Seiko NH38 caliber.
