Reviews

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

Bertucci A-2SEL

Owners widely report the Bertucci A-2SEL as an exceptionally durable and rugged field watch, with one owner calling it the most amazing and durable timepiece they have ever owned. Reviewers and owners alike praise its spot-on quartz accuracy, superior to mechanical alternatives. Some owners note the fixed lugs offer robust strap security, and the 40mm case is generally considered a standard field watch size. One owner speculates the quartz movement uses two batteries, one for four years and another for the illumination for 1.5 years. Battery replacement may require a special tool, and one owner found the backlight "janky." The lume is described as average, and the second hand occasionally misses minute markers or is misaligned. One owner with a 6.2-inch wrist found the 30mm case too large, causing it to twist outwards. Overall, owners rate the Bertucci A-2SEL highly for its exceptional durability and accurate quartz timekeeping.

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.
