Owners widely praise the Rolex Explorer II for its high-contrast, legible polar dial with matte, textured finishing and its understated, classic, toolish aesthetic. Its clean lume, legibility, and ease of reading are also frequently noted. Some owners find the bracelet incredibly comfortable. Accuracy is reported as excellent, with one owner noting +/- 1 second per day. The 42mm case size is a point of contention, with some finding it too large and others appreciating its "big boy watch" suitability for everyday wear. The bezel is noted as easily scratched, and some criticize the lack of a Glidelock clasp. One owner dislikes the magnified date window for being difficult to read at angles. Overall, owners rate the Rolex Explorer II highly for its legible dial and comfortable bracelet, despite some debate over its 42mm size.
