What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Perun Veles

Owners widely praise the Perun Veles for its exceptional quality and unique dial featuring enamel and applied indices, with many finding it surprisingly comfortable and a versatile GADA watch. Some owners highlight its stunning appearance in person, noting that it "can't seem to leave my wrist" and is worn constantly. The pointer date complication is also a compelling feature for some. However, one owner finds the dial a bit cluttered due to the size of the wordmark and model name, suggesting cleaner text. Opinions on the design are split, with some finding it universally appealing with unique Slavic inspiration, while others consider it too tame and derivative. Overall, owners rate the Perun Veles highly for its next-level quality and unique dial at the price point.

Baltic Prismic

The Baltic Prismic is widely praised for its unique stone dials, slim 9.2mm case, and retro-chic design, with reviewers highlighting its impressive build quality and detailed finishing for the price. Owners appreciate the complex five-part case construction using steel and titanium, and the attractive dial textures. The hand-wound ETA Peseux 7001 movement is consistently mentioned, offering a 42-hour power reserve. However, some owners find the watch overpriced and the bracelet unappealing or flaring on smaller wrists, while the 30-meter water resistance is noted as delicate. The avant-garde dial design is also described as divisive by one reviewer. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Baltic Prismic highly for its distinctive stone dials and slim, vintage-inspired case at an accessible price point.

From video reviewers

The Baltic Prismic's unique natural stone dials, each using a slice of thousand-year-old stone, are a standout feature. A notable drawback is the price, with several reviewers mentioning it as a potential issue, particularly considering the finishing and uniqueness offered. Reviewers disagree on the watch's ruggedness, with some viewing it as a dress watch and others not mentioning this aspect.
