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.

Seiko Presage Style60's

The Seiko Presage Style60's is praised for its charming vintage aesthetic, featuring a box-shaped crystal, faceted indexes, and applied details, all presented in an accessible price range. Reviewers highlight the smaller 39.5mm case size and comfortable new bracelet on certain models as particularly pleasing. However, the claimed accuracy of +45/-35 seconds per day for the 4R35 movement is noted as a potential drawback. The fixed 60-minute bezel is considered a stylistic element rather than a functional one. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Seiko Presage Style60's highly for its attractive retro design and comfortable wearability at its price point.

From video reviewers

The retro-inspired design and vintage cues are a significant strength. Reviewers questioned the value proposition at the $525 price point.
