Reviews

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

Movado Series 800 Automatic

Owners widely praise the Movado Series 800 Automatic for its fantastic appearance and durability over years of wear, with one owner noting it looks great and functions well within a $400 budget. Some owners consider it a good luck charm. A reviewer describes the quartz chronographs in the Series 800 line as tool-watch looking with a dive watch feel, featuring polished elements and a sunray dial. One owner notes that some lumed indices are cut off and date wheels are not color-matched. Owners question its value proposition compared to other brands, with second-hand prices ranging from $400-800€. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Movado Series 800 Automatic well for its aesthetic appeal and perceived durability over time.

Squale Master x Palombari Comsubin

The Squale Master x Palombari Comsubin is praised as a hardcore titanium diver with a sandwich dial for maximum lume and an orange minute hand for legibility. Owners note its 1200m water resistance and around 1600 CHF price point. The 42mm case has a 16mm thickness and 49mm lug-to-lug measurement, which one owner finds chunky and less suited for desk divers, though another calls it stunning on a Master bracelet with an on-the-fly adjustment clasp. One owner considers the included strap to be poor. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the Squale Master x Palombari Comsubin highly for its robust dive watch features and value at its price point.
