What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Roue Cal Three / Cal Four

Owners praise the Roue Cal Three / Cal Four's unique grey-blue dial with yellow and orange accents and the distinctive look of its domed mineral glass. One owner found the 40mm case size and quality leather strap appealing, though noted the lugs were slightly taller than anticipated. However, one owner reported significant condensation and moisture ingress, with the company denying warranty service. The lack of a date window makes it less ideal as a daily wearer for some. On balance, owners appreciate the aesthetic appeal and value, despite isolated reports of water resistance issues and a lack of date functionality.

Straton Speciale Automatic or Quartz watch

Owners widely praise the Straton Speciale Automatic or Quartz watch for its great retro feel, TV-shaped case, and fun color combinations. The automatic version is reported to be accurate at approximately +2 seconds per day. The meca-quartz model starts at $320, while the automatic is around $800 with a bracelet, both featuring a 40.8mm lug-to-lug measurement for wearability. Owners consider the quartz version reasonably priced, with its value linked to its mechanical movement. Overall, owners rate the Straton Speciale Automatic or Quartz watch highly for its retro aesthetic and wearability at its price point.
