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.

Ratio Quest (Lewis and Clark Edition)

Ratio Quest (Lewis and Clark Edition) owners praise its sapphire crystal, good lume on the hands, and the detailed engraving on the caseback, including the "Pi" logo on the second hand. The watch features a quartz movement and 100m water resistance. Some owners consider its Singaporean origin a downside post-purchase, while others highlight its value at £41 with accurate timekeeping from the quartz movement. Overall, owners rate the Ratio Quest (Lewis and Clark Edition) highly for its surprising lume and detailed caseback engraving at its price point.
