Reviews

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

Gravithin Argomatic - AM01

Owners praise the Gravithin ARGOMATIC - AM01 for its refreshing, clean, and unique design, with particular admiration for the mesmerizing sandwich dial and brilliant execution of BGW9 Super-LumiNova lume. The watch is considered good value, featuring a unique case and meteorite dial. Some owners would have preferred a case size below 40mm, though the brand chose 42mm for case shape reasons. A reviewer regretted the choice of a see-through caseback over an engraved one that would better suit the thematic inspiration. Overall, owners rate the Gravithin ARGOMATIC - AM01 highly for its distinctive dial and lume execution at the price.

IWC Schaffhausen Iw3565 Portofino Automatic

Owners widely praise the IWC Schaffhausen Iw3565 Portofino Automatic for its clean, classic dress watch aesthetics and a 40mm dial size that suits smaller wrists. The watch is noted for its simple elegance and appealing color, with one owner reporting excellent timekeeping. However, some owners question its value, citing the use of an external movement and a price tag they find high for the caliber, leading to concerns about resale value compared to watches with in-house movements. One owner reported a significant repair time after dropping their watch. Overall, owners rate the IWC Schaffhausen Iw3565 Portofino Automatic highly for its sophisticated design and wearability on various wrists, though value perception varies due to its movement and price point.
