Hamilton American Classic Ardmore SmallvsImpossible Watch Company Art Deco

The Hamilton American Classic Ardmore Small is a quartz watch, and owners report accuracy variations from losing 10-11 seconds per week to gaining 10 seconds per week, which is considered within an acceptable range. While typically a women's model, owners find it wearable on smaller wrists with compatible strap options available online. One owner notes the manual wind is sensitive and the crown is slightly crooked. The modern Ardmore is not waterproof. Overall, owners appreciate the Hamilton American Classic Ardmore Small for its vintage aesthetic and wearability on smaller wrists.

The Impossible Watch Company Art Deco is praised for its cool, awesome design that captures the art deco look. Owners appreciate the "exploding numerals" and the curved case that contours the wrist, noting it wears "a bit like a modern smart watch." Some find the Seagull 1700 manual wind movement awkward at the $675 price point. On balance, owners rate the Impossible Watch Company Art Deco highly for its distinctive design and comfortable wearability, despite some reservations about the manual wind movement at its price.
