Reviews

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

Camden Watch Company No.29

Camden Watch Company No.29 owners widely praise its beautiful, vintage-inspired design and excellent value, noting the attractive contrast between brushed and polished finishes. The watch is considered exceptionally good for its price point, with several owners highlighting its affordability and beauty as a dress watch. One owner finds the Japanese Quartz movement disappointing for the price, while another appreciates it as an early favorite despite it not being Swiss-made. Overall, owners rate the Camden Watch Company No.29 highly for its aesthetic appeal and strong value proposition.

Sternglas Tachymeter

The Sternglas Tachymeter is praised for its sporty chronograph design and wrist presence, offering character without being an overt tool watch. Reviewers note an upscale design with a colored aluminum bezel insert and more colorful dial options compared to its predecessor. The watch is considered good value for its design, functionality, and small-brand cachet, with a charming youthfulness in its colorful dial options. One reviewer points out that the "orange" on one model appears yellow and suggests a tachymeter scale extending to 200 would be more useful than the current 500. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Sternglas Tachymeter highly for its competitive price and appealing, youthful design.

From video reviewers

The value at the moderate price point is a strength. The use of a meca-quartz movement is a weakness. Reviewers disagree on whether the meca-quartz movement is a drawback.
