Reviews

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

Casio MQ-24

Owners widely praise the Casio MQ-24 for its extreme affordability, comfortable and lightweight wear, excellent legibility, and minimalistic design. Many appreciate its near-silent operation and find it to be a reliable and accurate timepiece, with one owner reporting theirs lasted nearly a decade. Some owners note the lack of a date complication and an uninspiring crown action as downsides. Overall, owners rate the Casio MQ-24 highly for its value and core time-telling functionality.

From video reviewers

The Casio MQ-24's minimalist dial design offers exceptional legibility. The resin case scratches easily. Reviewers disagreed on the accuracy of the quartz movement.

Citizen Suratto

The Citizen Suratto is widely praised for its exceptionally thin case, with multiple sources noting its thickness around 4.5mm to 4.7mm, making it a standout for wearability and fitting the integrated bracelet trend. Owners also highlight its great value, with prices reported under $300, and appreciate its solar-powered quartz movement and attractive, textured dials that some compare favorably to more expensive brands. One owner notes the taupe strap on their model washed out their skin tone and plans to replace it, while another reviewer mentions the watch lacks lume. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Citizen Suratto highly for its remarkable thinness and excellent value.
