Synthesized for each watch independently from owner discussions, enthusiast forums, written reviews, and video reviewers.
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.
Owners widely praise the Militado 38mm NH35 Automatic BB58 Retro Watch ML06 for its unbeatable value, with multiple sources citing a price of $119 and an NH35 automatic movement. Reviewers and owners highlight its excellent wearability at 38mm, clean dial, polished case lines, balanced proportions, and understated elegance. The watch is also noted for its strong C3 lume and high level of finishing and polishing. One owner suggests that a double-domed crystal would be a beneficial upgrade. Overall, owners rate the Militado 38mm NH35 Automatic BB58 Retro Watch ML06 highly for its exceptional value and appealing design.
