Some owners express concerns about the brand's overall quality and durability, with one noting a friend's misaligned hands and another finding the design unappealing. On balance, owners are split on the Knot Watches CS-38ASV, with appreciation for its unique dials and wearability tempered by concerns over build quality and strap execution.
Owners praise the Knot Watches TS2-36 for its balance of minimalism and detail, featuring clean lines and a modern, understated look with a unique dial texture.
