Seagull Extraordinary Series Day-date Calendar Dress 40mmvsSeiko Presage Style60's

The Seagull Extraordinary Series Day-date Calendar Dress Watch 40mm is widely praised for its classy design and excellent value under $150. Owners find the 40mm case with a 47mm lug-to-lug measurement wears smaller than many 40mm sports watches, and the bracelet is noted as very nice and flexible. However, quality control can be variable, and the watch omits sapphire crystal and decent luminosity. One reviewer noted the ST-16 movement keeps good time within a few seconds per day, but handwinding is rough and the crown had a burr. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the Seagull Extraordinary Series Day-date Calendar Dress Watch 40mm highly for its attractive classic styling and value, despite some quality control concerns.

The Seiko Presage Style60's is praised for its charming retro aesthetic, featuring a box-shaped crystal, faceted indexes, and applied markers, all within a comfortable 39.5mm case. Reviewers note its affordable price point of €490-€540 and a pleasing bracelet. However, the automatic 4R35 movement's accuracy tolerance of +45/-35 seconds per day is flagged as a potential drawback. On balance, reviewers rate the Seiko Presage Style60's highly for its attractive vintage design and wearability at its price point, despite concerns regarding movement accuracy.
