Reviews

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

Kobold SMG-2

Owners praise the Kobold SMG-2's attractive design, lightweight titanium case, and satin blue dial. The watch keeps excellent time, with one owner noting it loses or gains a couple seconds a day depending on position and has a 42-hour power reserve. Owners express strong reservations about Kobold's pricing and customer service, detailing year-long service delays, unauthorized dial and hand changes, and communication issues with the company owner. Some owners still appreciate the watch's style and build quality, especially when acquired on the secondary market. Overall, owners rate the Kobold SMG-2 highly for its attractive design and lightweight titanium case, despite significant frustrations with the brand's customer service and pricing.
