Second Hour The Memoir Dress Watch — Art Deco, Swiss Quartz

Owners widely praise the Second Hour Memoir Dress Watch — Art Deco, Swiss Quartz for its Art Deco aesthetic and value, with one owner calling it a great deal for its style and price. The 28mm case size is considered suitable by some, despite being small by modern standards, and the 50-meter water resistance is deemed sufficient for a dress watch. However, the quartz movement is noted as a drawback for some enthusiasts, and the lack of a seconds hand is a point of contention for one owner, though acknowledged as potentially fitting for the design. One owner also reported a small seconds sub-dial requiring repair and the gold plating needing refinishing. Overall, owners rate the Second Hour Memoir Dress Watch — Art Deco, Swiss Quartz highly for its classic Art Deco case design and timeless look at a competitive price point.

Yema Radiance

The Yema Radiance is praised for its radiant appearance and satin strap, with owners noting it as their smallest watch and a comfortable option worn below the wristbone. It is recommended as a quasi-micro brand ladies' watch under $500 and a placeholder option under $400, serving as a non-microbrand alternative. The Yema Radiance features 30m water resistance and an optional metal bracelet. Overall, owners value the Yema Radiance for its aesthetic appeal and comfortable wearability at its price point.
