What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Erebus Watches Ascent 40 GMT

Owners widely praise the Erebus Watches ASCENT for its stunning dial and excellent lume, with many finding it gorgeous and beautiful beyond comprehension. The watch is also noted for its comfortable wearability, attributed to its 40mm case, and the bracelet's micro-adjustable clasp and well-finished screws receive specific commendation. Some owners consider the Miyota 9075 movement excellent for the price, with one reporting accuracy of +1 second per day. However, import duties are a significant concern for some buyers, and the polished case sides are noted to lack a scratch-resistant coating. On balance, owners rate the Erebus Watches ASCENT highly for its aesthetic appeal and comfortable wearability at its price point.

Yema Diver

One owner reported a water ingress issue on their Yema Diver the first time it got wet in a lake, despite rinsing and inspecting the watch and bezel. Another owner notes this manual wind Yema Diver has a cool patina but is unlikely to be waterproof or gain value. Overall, owners view the Yema Diver as a fun second watch rather than an investment.

From video reviewers

The Swiss Sellita movement is a notable feature. Reviewers did not reach a consensus on any weaknesses.
