Reviews

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

Junghans 1972 Chronoscope Quarz

Owners widely praise the Junghans 1972 Chronoscope Quarz for its beautiful, no-nonsense design and excellent execution. Reviewers and owners alike highlight the chronograph functions as accurate and the pushers as offering positive action, with particular appreciation for the dial execution, including dished subdials. One owner notes the build quality is very impressive. A downside mentioned is the plexiglass crystal, which scratches more easily than sapphire. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the Junghans 1972 Chronoscope Quarz highly for its attractive design and well-executed chronograph functions.

Laco Kiel.2

The Laco Kiel.2 Blau is praised for its deep sunray blue dial and excellent legibility, with reviewers noting its clear Flieger dial design and good contrast. Owners report the Sellita SW500 automatic movement is accurate enough for everyday wear, with one owner seeing +/-5 seconds per day. The 43mm case features a finely brushed three-piece construction and a conical crown. Some owners find Laco's leather straps too long for smaller wrists, and one reviewer suggests a COSC-certified movement option would be an improvement. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Laco Kiel.2 Blau highly for its legibility and pilot's watch design at its price point.
