What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Seiko Prospex LX line

Owners widely report the Seiko Prospex LX line's finishing is a step up from other models, with a case that sits well on the wrist, and some praise the green sunburst dial with blue anti-reflective sapphire crystal as phenomenal. However, owners note the high MSRP limited sales, with some desiring smaller cases and a reduced price, and others experienced quality control issues such as detached second hands and peeling DLC coating, leading to concerns about fragility. On balance, owners feel the Seiko Prospex LX line was discontinued due to pricing that alienated its target market, despite its attractive dial.

Yema Yachtingraf Croisière Meca-Quartz

Owners praise the Yema Yachtingraf Croisière Meca-Quartz for its attractive design, historical significance, and comfortable 38.5mm size, with some appreciating its meca-quartz movement. The watch features a hesalite crystal and Seiko VK63 movement, measuring 10.3mm thin and 46mm lug to lug. Some owners note sharp edges on the case and a strap that feels cheap, though others find the strap acceptable and consider it a great summer watch. Opinions are split on the necessity of the 24-hour subdial, and concerns have been raised about the price and customer support. On balance, owners rate the Yema Yachtingraf Croisière Meca-Quartz highly for its appealing vintage-inspired look and accessible price point.
