BOLDR Supply Co. Ranger ShambavsMKII Hawkinge

Owners widely praise the BOLDR Supply Co. Ranger Shamba for its original designs and solid, well-built feel, with reviewers noting its retro-leaning aesthetic, clean lines, and matte bead-blasted finish. The 40mm case is equipped with a screwdown crown and offers 200 meters of water resistance. One owner, however, reports significant issues with other watches from the brand, including a seized crown requiring a movement replacement. On balance, the BOLDR Supply Co. Ranger Shamba is rated well by owners and reviewers for its design and build quality at the price point.

Owners widely praise the MKII Hawkinge for its understated elegance, simplicity, and resemblance to classic military watches, with the all-brushed case finishing described as silky, satiny, and smooth, rivaling watches at significantly higher price points. The 37.8mm case size and no-date display are generally well-received, though some find the 18mm lug width less desirable than 20mm. The stock leather strap is considered impractical, with many preferring thinner Eulit Perlon straps. On balance, owners rate the MKII Hawkinge highly for its exceptional finishing and classic design at its price point.
