Reviews

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

Mad Hudson Watches Broken Time

Owners widely praise the Mad Hudson Broken Time for its unusual, flowing lugs, clever notched strap design, and surprising legibility despite a busy dial, with one owner calling its unconventional design "sick." The hands functioning as the seconds hand and the strap width matching the lug measurement are also appreciated. However, its 30m water resistance and mineral crystal are noted as potential drawbacks, and one owner finds it difficult to read the time precisely and lacks lume for low-light conditions. An owner reported their watch stopped running intermittently after purchase, even after being sent back for repair by the manufacturer. On balance, owners appreciate the Mad Hudson Broken Time for its unique and interesting design, despite some functional concerns and a reported reliability issue.

Timex MK1

The 36mm case size of the Timex MK1 36mm Fabric Strap Watch is widely praised for being unobtrusive yet easy to read, with owners calling it a perfect size and appreciating its gorgeous dial. One owner reported the watch ran 5 minutes slow per 12 hours, and the crown and stem came out of the movement, but it is now working well. The stock strap clasp is criticized for digging into the wearer, suggesting replacement. Overall, owners rate the Timex MK1 36mm Fabric Strap Watch highly for its comfortable, vintage-inspired design and perfect size.
