Reviews

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

Certina DS Super PH2000M

The Certina DS SUPER PH2000M is praised for its lightweight titanium construction and comfortable wearability despite its 43mm size, with reviewers highlighting its standout turquoise gradient dial and retro 70s design. Owners note its extreme shock resistance, potentially making it the most shock-proof mass-produced automatic watch. The watch is considered a good buy, especially on discount, and is lauded for its legibility, lume, and the reliable POWERMATIC 80.611 movement. Some owners find the minute hand bulky and the bezel has noticeable play, while one reviewer notes its 16mm height is bulky. The 2,000m water resistance is seen by some as excessive given human depth limitations. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Certina DS SUPER PH2000M highly for its unique design and robust specifications at its price point.

Citizen Promaster Diver Automatic

Owners widely praise the Citizen Promaster Diver Automatic for its lightweight titanium construction, comfortable wear, and good specifications for the price. One owner highlights its accuracy and dynamic dial made from recycled materials. Some find the bezel action spongy and the bracelet subpar, with the overall finish described as basic due to the brushed titanium. A reviewer notes a slightly misaligned bezel and chapter ring, expressing a preference for sapphire crystal and ceramic bezel. Overall, owners rate the Citizen Promaster Diver Automatic highly for its lightweight titanium build and value, despite minor criticisms regarding finishing and bezel action.
