Reviews

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

Bertucci DX3 Plus

Owners widely praise the Bertucci DX3 Plus for its durability and value, with many noting its ability to withstand rigorous use and remain scratch-free. The watch is appreciated for its legible, utilitarian design and lightweight, fiber-reinforced case. Some owners report inconsistent quality control, specifically a "stuttering" second hand, though others find it keeps excellent time with a stated accuracy of ±15 seconds per month. One owner experienced a battery issue requiring repair. Overall, owners rate the Bertucci DX3 Plus highly for its robust build and utilitarian appeal at its price point.

Mad Hudson Watches Broken Time

Owners widely praise the Mad Hudson Broken Time for its unusual, flowing lugs, clever notched strap design, and surprising legibility despite a busy dial, with one owner calling its unconventional design "sick." The hands functioning as the seconds hand and the strap width matching the lug measurement are also appreciated. However, its 30m water resistance and mineral crystal are noted as potential drawbacks, and one owner finds it difficult to read the time precisely and lacks lume for low-light conditions. An owner reported their watch stopped running intermittently after purchase, even after being sent back for repair by the manufacturer. On balance, owners appreciate the Mad Hudson Broken Time for its unique and interesting design, despite some functional concerns and a reported reliability issue.
