Reviews

Synthesized for each watch independently from owner discussions, enthusiast forums, written reviews, and video reviewers.

Boldr Globetrotter GMT

Owners widely praise the Boldr Globetrotter GMT as a compelling sports watch and excellent value, with one owner finding it "addicting to look at." Reviewers highlight the watch's outstanding legibility, featuring applied Super-LumiNova indices and sword hands on a matte black dial. The ceramic bezel is noted for its tight, knurled grip and smooth, quiet bidirectional ratcheting action. One reviewer specifically mentions the multi-city ceramic bezel's sharp markings and orange accents. However, one owner expresses disappointment, stating Boldr "missed the mark with this model." Overall, owners and reviewers largely laud the Boldr Globetrotter GMT for its legibility and bezel action, despite one dissenting opinion.

Trafford Watch Co Touring GMT

Owners widely praise the Trafford Watch Co Touring GMT for its great finishing, fun and original designs, and nice dials. One owner notes the GMT's flyer function and unique inner bezel, while another reports their Trafford's domed crystal cracked after a short drop. Owners describe the Trafford Watch Co Touring GMT as having a "cool funky original vibe" and a "chonky boi vibe on the wrist but in a good way," with one wearer reporting daily use for a year without the watch stopping. On balance, owners rate the Trafford Watch Co Touring GMT highly for its distinctive aesthetic and robust daily performance.

From video reviewers

The Trafford Watch Co Touring GMT's unique GMT function offers an alternative way to use the feature. The micro-adjust system on the bracelet is a convenient feature for fine-tuning the fit. The watch lacks specific details on its performance, accuracy, or movement caliber, making it difficult to compare it to other GMT watches.
