Reviews

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

Certina DS Super PH500M

Owners widely praise the Certina DS Super PH500M for its retro dive watch aesthetic, good legibility, and value, with many highlighting its striking orange dial and secure bezel lock. The Powermatic 80.611 movement is reported as consistent and accurate, with one owner noting +2/+3 seconds per day performance. The watch is considered tough and offers good specifications for its price. However, some find the 43mm case and 15mm thickness substantial, potentially wearing large on smaller wrists, and one reviewer notes the crystal retaining ring can be a scratch magnet. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Certina DS Super PH500M highly for its vintage-inspired design and excellent value proposition.

Erebus Watches Titan

Owners praise the Erebus Watches Titan for its bold design, vibrant dials, and solid build, with specific mentions of the Tiger's Eye dial's sparkle and the bracelet's micro-adjustments. Some find the 44mm case thickness of 15.5mm and weight to be drawbacks, and the design is noted as polarizing, with some feeling it lacks brand identity. One owner of a meteorite variant reported sharp edges on the caseback. Overall, owners rate the Erebus Watches Titan highly for its unique dial options and robust tool-watch specifications at its price point.
