Casio EFV-650DvsOut of Order Torpedine Chrono

Owners widely praise the Casio EFV-650D for its value, costing less than half of comparable models and including illumination. The chronograph layout is noted as different from typical chronographs, which some find affects the user experience despite an attractive look. The 43.5mm case size is considered intimidating by some for smaller wrists, with one owner questioning its suitability as a first chronograph. 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 appreciate the Out of Order Torpedine Chrono's distressed vintage aesthetic and unique "tarnished" Italian look, with some retiring smartwatches for its personality. However, some community members question its value, citing the use of Chinese parts and a Japanese quartz movement in a $425 watch with pre-worn PVD. One owner noted discrepancies in subdial placement compared to online images. On balance, the Out of Order Torpedine Chrono appeals to those seeking a distinctive vintage style, though its value proposition is debated within the community.
