Laco Mojave 42 RBvsSquale 1521

Owners widely praise the Laco Mojave 42 RB for its legibility and reliable timekeeping, with one owner noting accuracy at +3 seconds per day and another reporting solid timekeeping. The watch is considered a good fit for a 6.7-inch wrist, with its 42mm case size deemed reasonable for its style. Reviewers highlight its utilitarian competency and comfortable wear, offering good horological performance at a cost-effective price. However, some find the Laco Mojave 42 RB to lack imagination and a deeper level of sophistication or style, appearing straightforward. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the Laco Mojave 42 RB highly for its legibility and value in a reliable daily watch.

Owners widely praise the Squale 1521 for its classic look and robust build, with specific mentions of its wearable 12.5mm thickness and refined case finishing. The 42mm case is noted by some to wear smaller, closer to 40mm, due to short lugs, feeling solid without being too large. However, opinions on the bracelet vary, with some finding it too flashy or stiff, and one owner reported moisture ingress after a shower due to a loose case back. The crown can be difficult to operate due to deep integration, and the 38-hour power reserve is considered old-school but reliable. Overall, owners rate the Squale 1521 highly for its classic design and wearability, despite some reservations about the bracelet and crown.
