Buyalov РР02.2 АкулаvsJunghans Aquaris Red

Owners widely praise the Buyalov РР02.2 Акула's original and rugged design, with some noting good case finishing and unique dials. The addition of a rotating inner bezel is seen as an improvement over previous models. However, the watch's size is a significant concern, with many finding the 56.3mm lug-to-lug distance on leather strap too massive for smaller wrists, though some with 16cm wrists find it wearable on rubber. The 24-hour subdial is considered by one owner to make the dial too busy, and the price is viewed by some as too high. On balance, owners appreciate the Buyalov РР02.2 Акула's distinctive design and build quality, but its substantial size presents a significant barrier for many potential buyers.

The Junghans Aquaris Red features a sunray-brushed red dial, an internal rotating bezel, and soft iron components for magnetic field protection. Owners note a 48-hour power reserve. One owner describes the dial as matte and flat, with the aged lume, contrasting chapter ring, and red seconds hand considered a miss, and also found the case dimensions not ideal. Overall, owners are split on the aesthetic execution of the Junghans Aquaris Red, with some finding key design elements to be a miss.
