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.

Straton Syncro MKII Mechanical Chrono

Owners widely appreciate the Straton Syncro MKII Mechanical Chrono's retro racing aesthetic and perceived value. Some owners note the watch is reliable and durable, with a clear date window. One owner finds the 44mm case comfortable, while another reviewer states the 40mm case wears larger than its dimensions. The included Milanese bracelet is criticized for its outdated clasp and polished finish contrasting with the brushed case. The consensus is that owners value the Straton Syncro MKII Mechanical Chrono for its design and customization options at its price point.
