Reviews

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

Edox SkyDiver 70s Date Automatic

Owners widely praise the Edox SkyDiver 70s Date Automatic for its excellent fit and finish, comfortable wear on the bracelet, and strong lume. The watch is noted for its great accuracy and solid build, with reviewers highlighting the Calibre 80 automatic movement. One owner finds the 13.7mm case height unnecessarily thick, while another mentions the 38-hour power reserve. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the Edox SkyDiver 70s Date Automatic highly for its robust build and comfortable wear at its price point.

Mido Ocean Star Tribute

Owners widely praise the Mido Ocean Star Tribute for its beautiful dial finishing and classic, vintage-inspired design, with many finding the 40.5mm case size highly wearable. Reviewers and owners alike highlight the gradient dial and domed crystal as particularly appealing features, contributing to its retro aesthetic. The COSC-certified Caliber 80 movement is noted for its reliability and 80-hour power reserve. Some owners find the lume unremarkable and the blue rubber strap too long for smaller wrists, while one reviewer points out that the crown guards are slightly difficult to grip and the bezel action, though good, can feel slippery. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the Mido Ocean Star Tribute highly for its exceptional value and vintage charm.
