Knot Watches CC-39vsYema Rallygraf Meca-Quartz II

The Knot Watches CC-39 is praised for its perfect 39mm fit and customizable dial and strap, with one owner finding it awesome at $35 USD for its Bauhaus-style chronograph aesthetic. Owners appreciate the cream dial and orange accents, though some find the dial busy and difficult to read initially. The watch is considered thin, measuring 13.2mm partly due to its domed crystal. One owner notes the inconvenience of a sample battery requiring a store visit for replacement and finds the 18mm strap width slightly slim for the 39mm case. On balance, owners rate the Knot Watches CC-39 highly for its unique appearance and value at the price point.

Owners widely praise the Yema Rallygraf Meca-Quartz II for its cool retro 70s vibe and car dashboard styling, with its faithful reissue of a small, thin vintage design and tactile pushers noted as strengths, especially considering its price point. The Milanese strap is described as top-notch, and the watch has a substantial, weighty feel that wears smaller than expected, with well-aligned indices and no play in the movement when setting the time. However, some find the meca-quartz ticking not very smooth, the left subdial a "useless" 24h indicator, and the watch overpriced compared to similar models. Owners are split on Yema's quality control, with some reporting no issues and others experiencing or hearing about crooked indices, dial rotation when pushers are depressed or time is set, and a fixed strap loop that limits adjustment. Yema's customer service and communication regarding shipping and strap availability are also criticized by some owners.
