Reviews

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

Roue CHR

The Roue CHR is praised for its unique, sand-blasted black-PVD case and sapphire crystal, considered superior for its price. Owners note its 41.5mm cushion case is surprisingly light and comfortable, fitting smaller wrists well, though it wears slightly larger. The unconventional dial layout with yellow hashes evokes a vintage racecar dashboard, with one owner highlighting the champagne dial's offset to the hands on its oval case. A drawback is the lack of lume on the main hands. The Roue CHR uses a Miyota 6S10 quartz movement and is water-resistant to 100m. Overall, owners rate the Roue CHR highly for its distinctive design and quality finishing at its price point.

Yema Rallygraf Meca-Quartz II

Owners widely praise the Yema Rallygraf Meca-Quartz II for its cool retro 70s vibe and car dashboard styling, with its faithful reissue of a small, thin vintage design and tactile pushers noted as strengths, especially considering its price point. The Milanese strap is described as top-notch, and the watch has a substantial, weighty feel that wears smaller than expected, with well-aligned indices and no play in the movement when setting the time. However, some find the meca-quartz ticking not very smooth, the left subdial a "useless" 24h indicator, and the watch overpriced compared to similar models. Owners are split on Yema's quality control, with some reporting no issues and others experiencing or hearing about crooked indices, dial rotation when pushers are depressed or time is set, and a fixed strap loop that limits adjustment. Yema's customer service and communication regarding shipping and strap availability are also criticized by some owners.

From video reviewers

The watch's vintage-inspired design and value at its price point are consistently praised. The meca-quartz movement is mentioned as a feature by multiple reviewers.
