Reviews

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

Bertucci A-2S Ballista

Owners report the Bertucci A-2S Ballista features a stainless steel screw-back case and screw-down crown, offering 100m water resistance. One owner experienced a battery failure on a solar Bertucci that required an $85 repair. Another owner found the 40mm case size too small and experienced poor ergonomics with an A-2T model, noting the lugs dug into their wrist. On balance, owners are divided on the value proposition, with some appreciating the premium features over less expensive models while others prefer lighter, more affordable alternatives.

Bertucci A-2S Field

Owners widely praise the Bertucci A-2S Field for its ruggedness, durability, and value, noting its recognizable classic field watch design and lightweight, fiber-reinforced construction suitable for active wear. Reviewers and owners alike highlight its superior accuracy compared to mid-range automatics, a sensible solar cell, and good lume. Some owners find the 40mm case size too small and the fixed lugs limit strap options, while one expressed concern over reports of model failures after a year. One owner wishes for higher water resistance and prefers titanium or plastic cases. Overall, owners rate the Bertucci A-2S Field highly for its durable, lightweight build and sensible features at a good value.
