Reviews

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

Straton Sportiva and Volante

Owners praise Straton's customer service and the unique horizontal brushed dial on the Volante, with one owner noting the BGW9 lume on thin hands is surprisingly good. The 38mm size is recommended for wrists smaller than 7 1/4 inches. Some owners report the meca-quartz movement is not very precise, and one owner experienced a band that was too short with no response from customer service. Overall, owners appreciate the Straton Sportiva and Volante for its distinctive dial and comfortable bracelet, despite some reservations about the meca-quartz movement's precision.

Yema Yachtingraff Seconde/Seconde

The Yema Yachtingraff Seconde/Seconde/ is widely praised for its unique, artistic design, featuring a graffiti-style dial with hand-painted sub-dials and spray can-shaped pushers. Owners appreciate its 38.5mm case size, described as slim and compact for comfortable daily wear, with one forum member noting the bracelet as a standout feature. The watch is powered by a Seiko VK63 meca-quartz movement and is priced at €449. While its aesthetic is a strong draw, one owner flagged its higher price and reported poor customer support as drawbacks. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the Yema Yachtingraff Seconde/Seconde/ highly for its distinctive artistic dial and comfortable wearability at its price point.
