One owner finds the watch "sick" and is considering upgrading the mineral crystal to sapphire. Overall, owners rate the Casio EFV-650D highly for its value and illumination, despite some reservations about its chronograph layout and case size.

Owners widely praise the Maughan Jones Momentum Chrono for its comfortable wearability, with one owner noting it wears smaller than expected, similar to an SKX009 on a sub-7-inch wrist, and another highlighting its soft tropic strap. The watch also receives compliments, with one owner finding it a nice-looking piece and a close homage to the Monaco. One owner notes the watch features a thick sapphire crystal and nice lume. However, one owner points out that the Maughan Jones Momentum Chrono uses a Dubois-Depraz 2045 module on an ETA 2824 movement, which can be difficult and expensive to repair due to its modular design. Overall, owners rate the Maughan Jones Momentum Chrono highly for its comfortable wearability and aesthetic appeal, with the modular movement being a point of consideration for long-term maintenance.
