What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

anOrdain Model 1 Precious Metal

The anOrdain Model 1 Precious Metal is described as dressy with a solid build, though some owners desire more pronounced case chamfers to better define its shape. The galvanized gold and rhodium dials are noted as great, but one owner prefers anOrdain's signature lacquer dials for a precious metal version. The watch features a 38mm stainless steel case with 50 meters of water resistance and an in-house regulated ETA 2824-2 movement with a 38-hour power reserve. The 18mm lug width is also flagged as a drawback by one owner. Overall, owners find the anOrdain Model 1 Precious Metal to be a dressy watch with a solid build, though opinions are split on the dial and case finishing for a precious metal offering.

Phoibos Argo

Owners widely praise the Phoibos Argo for its appealing design and color combinations, with one owner highlighting the bronze patina development as a unique characteristic. The Miyota 9015 movement is noted for its precision, and the included strap is considered a comfortable fit, particularly for narrower wrists. On balance, owners view the Phoibos Argo as a wearable piece of art and a great watch for personal enjoyment.
