Depancel AllurevsGeckota Workshop Jumping Hour

The Depancel Allure is praised for its value-driven, '70s racing aesthetic and attractive case finishing, featuring multi-level textures and applied indices. Owners widely report the 39mm case size is well-made and impressive, with a reliable Seagull ST1901 movement. Some find the price of over €600 for the ST1901 movement a bit high, questioning long-term reliability and after-sales service. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the Depancel Allure highly for its retro design and solid build quality at the price point.

The Geckota is widely praised for its attractive dial design and color, with owners noting the brand's focus on this aspect. The 37mm case size is also a point of appeal, contributing to its wearability. However, one owner described the movement as a noisy Seagull unit, though this was seen as acceptable given the watch's price point of £215-£240. Another owner found a 39mm model to be a bit thick. Overall, owners rate Geckota highly for its striking dial and value, despite some reservations about the movement.
