Riley Watch Co Howard Hughes HH01 - Legacy Retro Military GreenvsStraton Sportiva and Volante

Owners praise the Riley Watch Co Howard Hughes HH01 - Legacy Retro Military Green for its retro aviation look, nicely laid out dials, and playful color schemes, with the color-matching NATO strap enhancing its aesthetic. The Seiko VK64 meca-quartz movement is noted, and the watch is considered good value for its price, featuring a sapphire crystal. Some commenters dislike the casual font on the dial and criticize the logo as "child's play," while one owner suggests it needs a new strap and others find its 12mm thickness and lack of lume less appealing. On balance, owners rate the Riley Watch Co Howard Hughes HH01 - Legacy Retro Military Green highly for its aesthetic and value at the price point.

Owners praise Straton's customer service and the unique horizontal brushed dial on the Volante, with one owner noting the BGW9 lume on thin hands is surprisingly good. The 38mm size is recommended for wrists smaller than 7 1/4 inches. Some owners report the meca-quartz movement is not very precise, and one owner experienced a band that was too short with no response from customer service. Overall, owners appreciate the Straton Sportiva and Volante for its distinctive dial and comfortable bracelet, despite some reservations about the meca-quartz movement's precision.
