Owners also single out the polished edges on the case, bracelet and bezel as eye-catching in sunlight, along with the finishing and beautiful dials more generally. One owner calls the base model "a bit Rolex-y," and another says they prefer the brand's more authentic, luxurious designs over ones with picture-art dials.
