Reviews

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

Duxot Alicante Rainbow Automatic

Owners widely report the Duxot Alicante Rainbow Automatic offers good value, citing its reliable Miyota movement and decent manufacturing quality. Some owners note a bezel that can be stiff or difficult to rotate, and one commenter described the bracelet as "absolute crap," being jangly and less comfortable than alternatives. Accuracy figures vary, with one owner observing a loss of about 12 seconds per day over two weeks. Overall, owners rate the Duxot Alicante Rainbow Automatic highly for its value proposition and appealing design.

Tissot Le Locle Gold

Owners widely praise the Tissot Le Locle Gold for its elegant design, off-white dial with applied gold numerals and guilloche print, and gold-plated finish, with many considering it a beautiful dress watch offering excellent value. Some owners note the smooth sweep of its automatic movement and find it very accurate, with one calling it a "hidden gem." However, the gold plating is reported to be prone to scratching, and some find the stock straps and packaging to be of poor quality. One owner reported the movement running about 11 seconds fast per day, while another noted the 49mm lug-to-lug measurement could be large for smaller wrists. On balance, owners rate the Tissot Le Locle Gold highly for its classic look and perceived value as a dress watch.
