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".

Sugess Seestern S382 Classic

Owners widely praise the Sugess Seestern S382 38mm Classic for its thin 9.5mm case and German Bauhaus aesthetic, with many finding its design appealing and its lume surprisingly good. The Sea-Gull 1701 automatic movement is noted, offering a 35-hour power reserve and 5atm water resistance, and sapphire crystals are standard. Some owners find the blue-grey or dark blue dials stunning, and one owner prefers its longer hands to a Sugess alternative. However, some owners report the lugs feel long for the 38mm case, making it wear larger on smaller wrists, and one owner noted a gap between the band and case. The included strap is also considered a mismatch by some, and while the dial is described as airy blue, it can appear silver. Overall, owners rate the Sugess Seestern S382 38mm Classic highly for its thin profile and Bauhaus design at its price point.
