Owners appreciate its classic look and feel, especially at a discounted price for a discontinued model, and find it comfortable and wearable. The BR-CAL.301 automatic chronograph movement, based on the ETA 2894-2, powers the watch and offers a 42-hour power reserve. Some owners acknowledge brand criticisms like the use of ETA movements but are happy with their purchase. Screwed pushers are noted as a functional drawback for some. Overall, owners rate the Bell & Ross BR V2-94 R.S.18 highly for its thoughtful design and legibility.

Some owners find the 125/80mm length longer than ideal, and the keeper potentially smaller. On balance, owners rate the Geckota GT Racing strap highly for its quality and value, despite minor concerns about its length and keeper size.
