Echo/Neutra Rivanera PiccolovsStraton Straton Syncro Sports day/date Automatic

The Echo/Neutra Rivanera Piccolo is praised for its charming and impressive design, featuring a lightweight 26mm grade 5 titanium case with a sandblasted finish and polished edges. It is powered by an automatic Sellita SW1000 elaboré grade movement with a 46-hour power reserve and is available with an ultra-black Musou Black dial option. One reviewer suggested removing the date for a cleaner dial, while both sources note the straps lack a quick-release system. Overall, reviewers highlight the Rivanera Piccolo's distinctive design and titanium construction as its primary strengths.

Owners widely praise the Straton Syncro's exceptional finishing, retro design, and well-balanced dial, with one owner calling it Straton's best work. The fully-lumed dial is a significant draw for legibility, though one forum user notes the white dial's lume can cast a cool tone. Criticisms include a busy bezel design with difficult-to-read markings, applied numerals that reduce legibility, and a polished Milanese bracelet that contrasts with the brushed case. The NH36 movement is considered reliable but not highly accurate, and the 40mm case wears larger than its dimensions. The watch is approximately 15mm thick, which may present wearability issues with long sleeves. On balance, owners and reviewers highlight the Straton Syncro's impressive finishing and distinctive retro design as its strongest attributes.
