What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Hamilton Jazzmaster Skeleton Auto

The Hamilton Jazzmaster Skeleton Auto is praised for its redesigned dial that balances complexity and legibility, forming an "H" logo and highlighting the H-10-S movement. Owners appreciate the 80-hour power reserve and the seamless blend of the bracelet with the lugs. The watch is available in 40mm and 36mm sizes, with prices ranging from A$1,925 to A$2,200, and features 50m water resistance. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Hamilton Jazzmaster Skeleton Auto highly for its distinctive dial design and impressive power reserve at its price point.

From video reviewers

The 80-hour power reserve from the H-10 automatic movement is a notable strength. Water resistance to 5 ATM is considered on the lower side for the price point.

Baltic Scalegraph Classic

Owners widely praise the Baltic Scalegraph Classic for its stunning retro racing design, detailed dial, and 39.5mm case size, with many finding it offers excellent value. However, some owners report issues with finishing and fit, describing the watches as light or "toylike," while others find the finishing comparable to higher-end brands. Reviewers and owners alike criticize the screw-down chronograph pushers as finicky and impractical, especially given the 100m water resistance which some feel is conceptually incongruent with its rally timer purpose. One owner experienced misaligned bezel markers and moisture ingress after pool use, leading to a return. On balance, owners and reviewers value the Baltic Scalegraph Classic's aesthetic and value proposition, though practical usability concerns regarding the chronograph pushers and isolated quality control issues are noted.
