What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Echo/Neutra Averau Ceramic 3H

The Echo/Neutra Averau Ceramic 3H is widely praised for its full lume dial and accessible ceramic and titanium construction. Owners appreciate the quality feel of the bracelet and the reliable Sellita SW200-1 movement, with one noting excellent underwater water resistance. Despite some owners finding the 51.5mm lug-to-lug measurement too large for smaller wrists, another found the 13mm thickness did not feel bulky. There is a split opinion on the double index at 12 o'clock, and one owner reports a loud rotor. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the Echo/Neutra Averau Ceramic 3H highly for its striking full lume dial and innovative material construction at its price point.

CWC Mellor-72 Mechanical Watch

The CWC Mellor-72 Mechanical Watch is widely praised for its authentic, utilitarian design and satisfying hand-wound Sellita SW210 movement, with owners noting a smooth winding action and excellent accuracy, including one report of zero seconds deviation over 24 hours. Reviewers highlight the era-appropriate dial and functional "piece of kit" appeal, though some find the 35mm case small by modern standards and legibility can be impacted by the domed hesalite crystal. Owners report issues with fixed lug bars being poorly filled in and fogging inside the crystal, while others state no water resistance problems. Overall, owners and reviewers appreciate the CWC Mellor-72 Mechanical Watch for its genuine military heritage and functional charm, despite some practical drawbacks.
