Casio EFB-730DvsRoue CHR

Owners widely praise the Casio EFB-730D for its 40mm size, which is considered perfect for smaller to medium wrists and versatile for strap changes with its 20mm lug width. The subtle sunburst blue dial is noted as classy and better in person than in photos, and the overall finish is considered quite good for the price. Some owners find the constantly running central seconds hand impractical, while others appreciate its straightforward Casio quartz reliability and value around $150. One owner reported the second hand sticking on the minute hand, and another found the 47mm lug-to-lug measurement wore larger than expected. Overall, owners rate the Casio EFB-730D highly for its comfortable wearability and attractive design at the price point.

The Roue CHR is praised for its unique, sand-blasted black-PVD case and sapphire crystal, considered superior for its price. Owners note its 41.5mm cushion case is surprisingly light and comfortable, fitting smaller wrists well, though it wears slightly larger. The unconventional dial layout with yellow hashes evokes a vintage racecar dashboard, with one owner highlighting the champagne dial's offset to the hands on its oval case. A drawback is the lack of lume on the main hands. The Roue CHR uses a Miyota 6S10 quartz movement and is water-resistant to 100m. Overall, owners rate the Roue CHR highly for its distinctive design and quality finishing at its price point.
