Reviews

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

Awake Watches Son Mài

The Awake Watches Son Mài is praised for its step up in finishing and attention to detail, featuring impressive handcrafted dials with silver leaf gilding and lacquered colors, combined with excellent Super-LumiNova application. Its 39mm recycled steel case is comfortable and works well as a daily watch, though the dial design makes it wear larger. The dial features meticulous lacquer work and a hidden, hand-chiselled silhouette. The La Joux-Perret G101 automatic movement offers a 68-hour power reserve. Overall, reviewers highly regard the Awake Watches Son Mài for its impressive handcrafted dials and comfortable 39mm case.

From video reviewers

The Son Mài's lacquer dial is consistently praised for its depth and intricate detail. Sharp lugs are cited as a drawback affecting comfort. Reviewers disagree on the value proposition compared to luxury brands.

Hamilton Jazzmaster Thinline Auto

The Hamilton Jazzmaster Thinline Auto is widely praised for its gorgeous, stunning, and captivating dials, particularly the champagne and burgundy variants, and its thin, comfortable, vintage-inspired design that fits well under shirt cuffs. Owners appreciate its clean, simple aesthetic, often noting the beauty of its applied indices and dauphine hands, and the slim profile afforded by its movement. Some users find the absence of a second hand liberating for quick setting and avoiding accuracy checks. However, opinions are mixed on its thinness, with some finding it too thin for their preference. The ETA 2892-A2 movement's rotor noise is noted by several owners as audible due to the thin case, and the winding feel is described by one owner as unrefined. The small crown is also flagged as difficult to manipulate, and the OEM strap is disliked by one owner. One source mentions the polished case may show light swirlies.

From video reviewers

The slim case profile and affordable price point are consistently praised. Reviewers noted the absence of a second hand.
