What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Kobold Soarway Diver 43

Owners report the Kobold Soarway Diver 43 hugs the wrist well with no noticeable lug overhang on a 6.5-inch wrist and possesses a strong, non-flashy wrist presence. One owner experienced persistent functional problems with their watch, including the second hand contacting the minute hand, which continued even after servicing and a warranty replacement. This specific 43mm model is noted as the only one factory-fitted with an unsigned bracelet. Overall, owners value the Kobold Soarway Diver 43 for its comfortable wearability and distinctive wrist presence, despite some experiencing significant functional issues.

anOrdain Model 1

Owners and reviewers widely praise the anOrdain Model 1 for its exquisite vitreous enamel dial, noting its depth, unique light play, and custom typography. The watch is also commended for its comfortable wearability, elegant design, and appealing price point for its handmade processes, with an 800 vickers hardened case resisting scratches well. Some owners report the Sellita SW200-1 movement's rotor is noticeable and the watch lacks lume. Significant wait times, potentially exceeding two years, are a frequently cited drawback. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the anOrdain Model 1 highly for its exceptional enamel dial and handcrafted aesthetic at the price.

From video reviewers

Thoughtful finishing and beautiful color options are notable strengths of the anOrdain Model 1. The watch's lug-to-lug fit is relatively long, which may not suit everyone's wrist size, and the relatively low 5ATM water-resistance may limit its suitability for swimming or diving. Reviewers disagree on the movement used in the watch, with some mentioning the Sellita SW210 or La Joux Perret G101, while others mention the Sellita SW200.
