Hamilton Jazzmaster Quartz

The Hamilton Jazzmaster Quartz is praised for its solid crown feel, avoiding accidental hacking, and its comfortable proportions with a mainstream aesthetic.

The quartz movement ensures accurate timekeeping, though it is not considered a standout feature. This Hamilton Jazzmaster Quartz is priced at CHF 395. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Hamilton Jazzmaster Quartz highly for its refined case finishing and reliable timekeeping at its price point.

Vario 1945 A-11S Solar Quartz

Reviewers highlight its incredible value at $198, featuring a Miyota solar quartz movement and polished chamfers adding unexpected style. Some owners note the lume is poor and the 50-meter water resistance is limited, while others desire a big date complication not supported by the solar movement.
