Synthesized for each watch independently from owner discussions, enthusiast forums, written reviews, and video reviewers.
Owners widely praise the Impossible Watch Company Art Deco for its cool, handsome, and unique design, capturing the art deco aesthetic with features like "exploding numerals" and a curved case that contours the wrist. Some find the manual-wind Seagull ST1701 movement awkward at the $675 price point, while others note it is a basic movement fitting for the watch's aesthetic. One owner mentions the watch wears "a bit like a modern smart watch." On balance, owners rate the Impossible Watch Company Art Deco highly for its striking design and comfortable wearability.
The Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Classic Monoface Small Seconds is praised for its refined and mechanical stainless steel case, elegant design, and finely executed guilloché dial. Owners appreciate its wearability, with many finding the 40.1mm x 24.4mm midsize proportions excellent and fitting well even on smaller wrists, though one owner felt the medium size was "just on the cusp of being wearable" for a 16.5cm wrist and another found a pictured watch looked a touch too large and thick. The swiveling caseback is noted for encouraging personalization. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Classic Monoface Small Seconds highly for its elegant design and refined case finishing.
