What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Boldr Expedition II

Owners widely praise the Boldr Expedition II for its tool watch utility, legible dials, and bead-blasted finish, with many finding its 41mm size ideal for daily wear and comfortable on various wrists. Reviewers and owners alike highlight its excellent value, well-executed details, and the functional design of its knurled crown. Some owners note the dial color can appear creamier than expected online, and one reviewer found the stock rubber strap to be a minor criticism. The Sellita SW200 movement and domed sapphire crystal are also noted as positive features. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the Boldr Expedition II highly for its functional field watch design and excellent value.

From video reviewers

The Boldr Expedition II's solid construction and reliability are notable strengths. A weakness is the potential for dim lume brightness, as the entire dial is fully covered in lume but the reviewer's assessment implies it might be inadequate.

Sternglas Tachymeter

The Sternglas Tachymeter is praised for its sporty chronograph design and wrist presence, offering character without being an overt tool watch. Reviewers note it as an improvement over its predecessor, featuring an upscale design with a colored aluminum bezel insert and more colorful dial options. It utilizes the Seiko VK63 meca-quartz movement, is accurate to ±20 seconds per month, and boasts a three-year battery life, all at a competitive price of €389. The Sternglas Tachymeter is considered good value for its design, functionality, and small-brand cachet, offering a charming youthfulness. One reviewer noted that the "orange" on one model appeared yellow, and suggested a tachymeter scale extending to 200 instead of 500 would be more useful. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Sternglas Tachymeter highly for its value and appealing, youthful chronograph design.
