The Frederique Constant Classics Carree Small Seconds is praised for its excellent 36mm dimensions, making it perfectly wearable and suitable for smaller wrists. Owners value its classic, elegant, and understated design, with one owner noting it as a starter watch and a compelling alternative to higher-priced luxury pieces. The quartz movement is considered ideal for infrequent wear as a dress watch. Overall, owners rate the Frederique Constant Classics Carree Small Seconds highly for its wearability and elegant design at its price point.
Owners widely praise the Impossible Watch Company Art Deco for its cool, handsome, and unique design, capturing the art deco aesthetic with features like "exploding numerals" and a curved case that contours the wrist. Some find the manual-wind Seagull ST1701 movement awkward at the $675 price point, while others note it is a basic movement fitting for the watch's aesthetic. One owner mentions the watch wears "a bit like a modern smart watch." On balance, owners rate the Impossible Watch Company Art Deco highly for its striking design and comfortable wearability.
