Reviews

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

Casio EFV-160D

Owners widely praise the Casio EFV-160D for its simple, daily-wearable design and exceptionally shiny, polished finish. One owner reports remarkable accuracy, with the watch not losing or gaining a second in 45 days when synchronized. However, this same owner expresses concern about maintaining the highly polished surfaces. Overall, owners rate the Casio EFV-160D highly for its impressive accuracy and attractive, albeit high-maintenance, aesthetic.

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.
