Reviews

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

Bertucci DX3 Compass

Owners widely praise the Bertucci DX3 Compass for its no-nonsense, utilitarian design and legibility, offering a compelling sense of simplicity and industrial appeal at its price point. Some owners report inconsistent quality control, specifically with second-hand stuttering, though this was not observed in all instances. One owner found the battery difficult to replace without a special tool, leading to the watch being discarded. The Japanese quartz movement is noted for its accuracy, estimated at ±15 seconds per month, and is expected to withstand vibrations from power tools. Overall, owners rate the Bertucci DX3 Compass highly for its durable, functional design and value as a daily work or field watch.

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.
