What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side.

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.

Resco Stainless

Owners widely praise Resco's customer service, with one owner noting their watch was repaired quickly and affordably after a severe accident, and another highlighting the brand's veteran-owned roots and Navy Seal heritage. The cases are described as strong and durable, suitable for an outdoorsy lifestyle and harsh conditions. One owner likes the dial's small 0.2-second indices and trident second hand. However, one owner reported rusting issues on the case by the time and date adjusting screw, which the company stated is normal and may require cleaning. Another owner feels Resco watches are not great value for money given their ETA movements and price. Overall, owners rate Resco watches highly for their durability and customer service, with the strong cases being a significant draw.
