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.

Von Doren Runde

The Von Doren Runde's 39mm case is considered large for a dress watch, but it wears well on larger wrists and is a great-looking piece. Owners find the design and story behind the Il Tempo Gigante model appealing, though one owner calls the price "bonkers." Overall, owners rate the Von Doren Runde highly for its wearability and attractive design.
