Reviews

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

Draken Kruger 'A' FL

Owners widely praise the Draken Kruger 'A' FL for its excellent value, comfortable titanium case and bracelet, and impressive fit and finish. One owner calls it their favorite microbrand find and a stunner, while another states it's their favorite watch of the past year. The 44mm case is noted by some to wear smaller than expected, though one owner with a 7.5" wrist found it borderline too small, and another points out its large, bold size is not for everyone. Overall, owners rate the Draken Kruger 'A' FL highly for its exceptional value and impressive fit and finish.

Filippo Loreti Watches Ascari Skeleton Chrono VK63

Owners widely praise the Filippo Loreti Watches Ascari Skeleton Chrono VK63 for its visually appealing and unique skeletonized dial, with some finding good craftsmanship and standard specifications for the price. However, multiple owners report significant issues with product quality and customer service, including watches stopping working within a year and poor experiences with refunds and repairs. One owner notes the skeletonized dial is less useful than a 24-hour indicator, and the $225 price for a quartz movement is questioned as overpriced for perceived value. On balance, owners are split on the Filippo Loreti Watches Ascari Skeleton Chrono VK63, with strong opinions ranging from beautiful and good value to poor quality and overpriced.
