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

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.

Ralf Tech WRX ELECTRIC BLACK

The Ralf Tech WRX ELECTRIC BLACK is noted for its striking domed sapphire crystal and good lume, with owners appreciating its quality feel and exclusivity as a limited edition. The perlage-polished aluminum dial is a standout feature rarely seen on affordable dive watches, contributing to its functional, tool-like design with large luminous hands and markers. However, the watch is described as huge and heavy, and the small crown can be difficult to manipulate, while the large buckle on the leather strap may irritate some wearers. A reviewer also expressed skepticism about the brand name and noted the watch site is only in French. Overall, owners and reviewers find the Ralf Tech WRX ELECTRIC BLACK to be a unique tool watch with a distinctive dial, despite its substantial size and some ergonomic considerations.
