Monta NoblevsSugess MoonPhase Master S426

The Monta Noble is widely praised for its slim 9.7mm case, excellent finishing comparable to higher-end brands, and highly adjustable bracelet. Owners note its versatility and accuracy, with one reporting +2 sec/day. The well-executed date at six is also a positive point. However, some find the dial proportions off with small indices and too much open space, and the polished bezel a scratch magnet. There are mixed opinions on the clasp, with some finding it fiddly and others praising its adjustability. The crown action is described by one owner as mediocre, and a visible gasket is noted. The Monta Noble is priced at $1,600-$1,795 and features a Sellita SW300-based M-22 movement. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Monta Noble highly for its slim profile and exceptional finishing at its price point.

Owners widely praise the Sugess MoonPhase Master S426 for its sapphire crystal, well-finished stainless steel case, and the Seagull ST2153 automatic movement, which offers hacking and manual winding. The watch features a real moonphase complication, power reserve indicator, and date function, all for approximately $200. Reviewers highlight the guilloche dial detailing and the ST2155 movement, an ETA clone, noting its true moonphase complication. Overall, owners rate the Sugess MoonPhase Master S426 highly for its impressive complications and finishing at its price point.
