Geckota Pioneer AutomaticvsSugess MoonPhase Master S395

Owners widely praise the Geckota Pioneer Automatic for its retro-futuristic design, impressive lume, and unique dial finishing. The red dial variants are particularly favored for their brushed fumee appearance and vintage feel. Accuracy is noted as surprisingly good for an NH35 movement, though one owner reports +/- 20 seconds per day. The watch is considered a bargain by some at $259, while others find the $519 price for the NH35 movement in a 14mm thick case excessive. The 42mm cushion case is noted to wear large due to its lack of a prominent bezel. A minor phantom date position on the crown is reported, and the crystal is very reflective despite an anti-reflective coating. Some find the gold accents look a bit cheap, and one instance of a loose fleck of lume was observed. Overall, owners rate the Geckota Pioneer Automatic highly for its distinctive vintage aesthetic and value, particularly on sale.

Owners widely praise the Sugess MoonPhase Master S395 for its deep blue dial, applied markers, and moonphase complication, with accuracy reported around -6 seconds per day. Some owners find the 41mm size a bit large for a dress watch, and the included straps are considered subpar, with rough movement finishing and unfinished lugs noted under magnification. On balance, owners rate the Sugess MoonPhase Master S395 highly for its attractive dial and moonphase complication at the price.
