Reviews

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

Edox 1973 Automatic

Owners widely praise the Edox 1973 Automatic's reliable Sellita SW 200 automatic movement, noting it offers solid performance and good value as an entry-level Swiss watch. Some reviewers find certain dial elements and the date window color unnecessary, and the lume is not as strong as dedicated sport watches. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the Edox 1973 Automatic highly for its reliable movement and good value proposition.

Edox SkyDiver 38 Date Automatic

Owners praise the Edox SkyDiver 38 Date Automatic for its vintage-inspired design and 38mm case size, appealing to those seeking smaller watches. The build quality is considered solid, with reviewers noting the domed sapphire crystal adds charm, though it can cause reflections and contributes to a 13.7mm thickness. The Caliber 80 (SW 200) automatic movement is appreciated, but its 38-hour power reserve is flagged as a drawback by some. Owners are split on sizing, with some wishing for options between 38mm and 42mm. Overall, owners and reviewers view the Edox SkyDiver 38 Date Automatic positively for its retro dimensions and build quality at its price point.
