Reviews

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

Eza 1972 Diver

Owners widely praise the Eza 1972 Diver for its faithful vintage design and excellent value, with one owner noting it surpasses other watches in bezel action, crown comfort, thinness, and packaging, all at a significantly lower price. The watch is noted for its thin 39.6mm case and impressive accuracy, running at nearly 0 seconds per day. Some find the bezel action a bit stiff. Overall, owners rate the Eza 1972 Diver highly for its vintage aesthetic and exceptional value proposition.

From video reviewers

The case finishing, with its mix of brushed and polished surfaces, is a notable strength. The price point of $995 USD is a point of contention, with one reviewer suggesting it may be high compared to competitors.

Movado Series 800 Automatic

Owners widely praise the Movado Series 800 Automatic for its fantastic appearance and durability over years of wear, with one owner noting it looks great and functions well within a $400 budget. Some owners consider it a good luck charm. A reviewer describes the quartz chronographs in the Series 800 line as tool-watch looking with a dive watch feel, featuring polished elements and a sunray dial. One owner notes that some lumed indices are cut off and date wheels are not color-matched. Owners question its value proposition compared to other brands, with second-hand prices ranging from $400-800€. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Movado Series 800 Automatic well for its aesthetic appeal and perceived durability over time.
