The Ferro & Company TIME MASTER 70 BUBBLE GUM is praised for its 1970s-inspired design, featuring a unique case shape and dial layout, with reviewers and owners highlighting its comfortable 39mm wearability as a Goldilocks size. The watch is powered by a Miyota 9039 automatic movement and offers 100 meters of water resistance. One owner noted that a scratch-resistant coating offered during Kickstarter was not included in the final release. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Ferro & Company TIME MASTER 70 BUBBLE GUM highly for its retro design and comfortable 39mm sizing at its US$650 price point.
Owners and reviewers widely praise the Tissot PRX Titanium for its lightweight titanium build, impressive machining, and the wearability of its 38mm case size. The Powermatic 80 movement is noted for its 80-hour power reserve and anti-magnetic properties. However, some find the colorways and materials less appealing than steel options, with legibility being a potential concern. One reviewer also expressed a preference for different accent colors and wished for more decoration on the movement and a full titanium caseback. Owners discuss the Powermatic 80 movement's use of plastic parts, with some concerned about serviceability while others accept it as a cost-saving measure. The higher price point compared to some alternatives is also mentioned, with one writer questioning the bracelet's perceived long-term durability. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Tissot PRX Titanium highly for its lightweight titanium construction and comfortable 38mm sizing at the price point.
