The watch is noted to keep good time, with one owner reporting -3 seconds per day accuracy, though another owner expressed concerns about poor lume and a reported accuracy of +17 seconds per day.

Manufaktur Waldhoff Regent

The Manufaktur Waldhoff Regent is praised as an affordable, no-frills dress watch. Owners report it is a fair deal at $579 with three extra straps, though questions arise about its "Made in Germany" claim. The brand owner's history of 7 projects created and 1 backed does not inspire confidence. Overall, owners find the Manufaktur Waldhoff Regent to be a fair deal for a dress watch, despite some concerns about its origin claims and brand history.
