Reviews

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

Edox Neptunian Grande Réserve Date Automatic

Owners widely praise the Edox Neptunian Grande Réserve Date Automatic for its robust build and refined design, with reviewers highlighting its 42mm case as versatile and wearable, aided by a 12.3mm thickness. The Caliber 808 automatic movement, based on the La Joux-Perret G100, provides a 68-hour power reserve and is noted for its accuracy, with one source reporting +/-12 seconds per day. Legibility is enhanced by Super-LumiNova X1. The watch is priced at EUR 1,890 and features a ceramic bezel and sapphire crystal. Some owners find the 42mm case size large, and one reviewer felt the emphasis on the 68-hour power reserve was slightly overstated compared to competitors. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Edox Neptunian Grande Réserve Date Automatic highly for its refined dive watch aesthetics and practical wearability at its price point.

Melbourne Watch Company Sorrento

Owners widely praise the Melbourne Watch Company Sorrento's attractive design, refreshing aesthetic, and the quality offered by smaller brands at a reasonable price. The Miyota 9000s movement is considered a positive feature. One owner found the dial's indices and raised markers cheap-looking, while another appreciated the dial's depth and classy feel, noting it wears well even on a small wrist despite its 14mm height. Overall, owners rate the Melbourne Watch Company Sorrento highly for its appealing design and perceived value from a smaller manufacturer.
