Reviewers highlight its wearable 41mm case with updated lug design and a micro-adjust clasp. Some find the gold-plated version loud, and the dauphine hands lack lume. The Soprod P024 automatic movement is noted, with a 38-hour power reserve mentioned by multiple sources. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Nivada Grenchen F77 MK2 41mm Automatic highly for its strong value proposition and well-executed integrated bracelet design at its price point.
The Retter Watches 22 is noted for its design, drawing inspiration from 1970s steel sports watches and specifically referencing the Vacheron Constantin 222. Its dial is described as having a "less is more" aesthetic, complementing its integrated bracelet. The watch features a Sellita SW400 automatic movement, regulated in-house to four positions, and offers 200m water resistance within its 40mm case. Its classification as "affordable luxury" is considered subjective. Overall, reviewers highlight the Retter Watches 22's design and build as key strengths.
