Reviews

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

BOLDR Supply Co. Rally 797

Owners widely praise the BOLDR Supply Co. Rally 797 for its compelling mecaquartz chronograph functionality and compact 38mm titanium case, offering a sense of dial depth despite lacking applied indices. The stock NATO strap is noted as a minor drawback, easily replaced with aftermarket options. One owner, however, advises caution with the brand due to serious issues experienced with multiple watches, including a seized crown. Overall, owners rate the BOLDR Supply Co. Rally 797 highly for its affordable mecaquartz chronograph offering and compact titanium case.

Nivada Grenchen F77 Chrono Mecaquartz

The Nivada Grenchen F77 Chrono Mecaquartz is praised for its solid case build, well-finished and legible dial with applied indices, and the slimmer profile afforded by its mecaquartz movement. Owners report excellent grip on the ridged screw-down crown and appreciate the domed sapphire crystal. However, the integrated bracelet's connection to the case is criticized for effectively increasing the lug-to-lug distance, potentially alienating those with smaller wrists, and one owner noted abysmal crown action and a gritty winding feel. Accuracy figures range from +1/+2 seconds per day to approximately -6 seconds per day, and opinions are split on the mecaquartz movement, with some viewing it as affordable and reliable, while others find it "cheap." On balance, owners and reviewers rate the Nivada Grenchen F77 Chrono Mecaquartz highly for its case build and dial finishing at its price point.

From video reviewers

The value proposition is a strength, with reviewers positioning it as an affordable alternative to luxury chronographs. Reviewers did not agree on any weaknesses.
