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.

KUOE OLD SMITH 90-002

Owners widely praise the KUOE OLD SMITH 90-002 for its excellent 35mm size and premium feel for the price, with one owner noting its lume is the best they have experienced. The sand-textured cream dial is described as offering depth and legibility, though one owner rated the dial design 2/5 due to numeral offset referencing classic field watches. The watch utilizes a Seiko NH35 or NH38 automatic movement, with Kuoe adjusting it to a range of -20 to +40 seconds/day, though one example ran within +/- 10 seconds/day. On balance, owners rate the KUOE OLD SMITH 90-002 highly for its wearability and craftsmanship at its price point.
