However, the thin cross-hair design can disappear from a distance, making the dial less coherent when viewed afar, and some note it wears large due to its size and lack of a prominent bezel. One owner points out the crystal is very reflective, the gold accents appear cheap, and the case finish resembles chrome more than polish, with a loose fleck of lume also noted. Overall, owners rate the Geckota Pioneer Classic Edition highly for its distinctive retro design and strong value proposition.
