The bezel and crystal are also described as great. One owner reports the 41mm TSAR wears small and has a field watch aesthetic, while another notes the TSAR Medium, listed at 12mm thick, visually appears thicker.

Galo Novo Cruisin

Owners widely praise the Galo Novo Cruisin's attractive specs and price, with many calling it a perfect summer watch and appreciating its clean, refreshing, and beautiful design. The bronze case variant features "killer lume" that glows blue-green and looks great in the sun, and the watch is comfortable enough for constant wear. However, owners are split on the 38mm/39mm sizing, with some finding it too small and others preferring sub-40mm cases. Significant frustration exists regarding Galo's communication, with owners citing rolling delays, a perceived lack of transparency, and misleading timelines, leading to a negative customer service impression and some considering order cancellations. One owner noted their crown does not screw in. Overall, owners rate the Galo Novo Cruisin highly for its aesthetic appeal and value, despite significant concerns about production communication and transparency.
