Hamilton Jazzmaster Thinline Small Second Quartz

The Hamilton Jazzmaster Thinline Small Second Quartz is widely praised for its excellent value, thin profile, and stylish, clean dial design with superb hour numerals and applied indices. Owners find it a joy to wear, receiving compliments, and appreciate its upscale champagne dial option. However, its lume is considered terrible, barely lasting a few minutes, and the crown is noted as very small and difficult to manipulate. Some owners also express concern over its water resistance and find its lug width potentially difficult for strap changes, though others report 20mm lugs. On balance, owners and enthusiasts rate the Hamilton Jazzmaster Thinline Small Second Quartz highly for its thinness and stylish design at the price.

Specht & Sohne Söhne SP0039Q Quartz

Owners find the Specht & Sohne Specht & Söhne SP0039Q Quartz satisfactory for its price, with one owner calling the quartz chronograph "baller" and appreciating its weighty feel, solid construction, and acceptable finishing. The quartz movement enables a thin profile, making it practical for those who do not constantly check their watch. However, one owner expressed frustration with the brand's customer service due to shipping delays and bounced emails. On balance, owners rate the Specht & Sohne Specht & Söhne SP0039Q Quartz well for its value and practical, thin design.
