Edox 1973 AutomaticvsMido Ocean Star 200C

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.

Owners widely praise the Mido Ocean Star 200C for its excellent build quality and value, with many highlighting the matte black dial, ceramic bezel, and applied indices as attractive design elements. The watch is noted for its light titanium construction and great lume, offering good legibility and wearability, with some owners appreciating its low thickness. Accuracy is exceptional, with one owner reporting 0 to +1 second per day. However, some find the 42.5mm case size acceptable but would prefer a slightly smaller diameter, and one owner noted significant wear on the case and bezel after 3.5 months. The crown is described as slightly small, and the bezel tension as potentially a touch light. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Mido Ocean Star 200C highly for its impressive build quality and accuracy at its price point.
