What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

KUOE ROYAL SMITH 90-006

Owners widely praise the KUOE ROYAL SMITH 90-006 for its visual appeal and sapphire crystal with AR coating. The watch functions correctly and keeps time at approximately +5 seconds per day on the wrist, powered by a Miyota 9039 movement. On balance, owners value the watch's aesthetics and specifications, though some question its overall value proposition.

From video reviewers

The watch's unique blend of modern and retro elements is a notable strength, with a textured ivory waffle dial and Breguet numerals giving it the look of a vintage watch from the 1950s and 1960s. A potential drawback is the ~$770 USD price point, which is significant for a microbrand. Reviewers disagree on the movement's accuracy, with one reviewer noting it is noisy and another describing it as a "Japanese-manufactured high beat premium automatic movement".

KUOE ROYAL SMITH 90-010

Owners praise the KUOE ROYAL SMITH's elegant 37mm size, symmetrical bicompax layout, and crisp chronograph pushers with a swift reset. The salmon dial is described as copper-toned with highly polished, legible Breguet numerals. Some owners find the 13mm thickness and 43mm lug-to-lug wearable, while others note the 14.3mm thickness detracts from wearability. The TMI NE86A movement has a claimed 45-hour power reserve and accuracy ranging from +25/-15 seconds per day. On balance, owners and reviewers appreciate the KUOE ROYAL SMITH for its retro charm and enjoyable chronograph operation, despite some reservations about its thickness.
