Synthesized for each watch independently from owner discussions, enthusiast forums, written reviews, and video reviewers.
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.
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.
Owners widely praise the Squale Super-Squale for its comfortable 38mm case, vintage skin diver aesthetic, and outstanding build quality for the price, with many highlighting the beads-of-rice bracelet as a standout feature and finding it a great value "go anywhere, do anything" watch. Some owners note the stock strap is not ideal and consider alternative strap options, while one enthusiast finds the 38mm case with 18mm lug width wears small. Accuracy of the Sellita SW200-1 movement is reported as ±7–20 seconds per day, which is considered not impressive by today's standards, though adequate for reliability and serviceability. Overall, owners rate the Squale Super-Squale highly for its vintage charm, comfortable wearability, and excellent value.
