Straton Straton Syncro Sports day/date AutomaticvsYema Yachtingraff Seconde/Seconde/

Owners widely praise the Straton Syncro's exceptional finishing, retro design, and well-balanced dial, with one owner calling it Straton's best work. The fully-lumed dial is a significant draw for legibility, though one forum user notes the white dial's lume can cast a cool tone. Criticisms include a busy bezel design with difficult-to-read markings, applied numerals that reduce legibility, and a polished Milanese bracelet that contrasts with the brushed case. The NH36 movement is considered reliable but not highly accurate, and the 40mm case wears larger than its dimensions. The watch is approximately 15mm thick, which may present wearability issues with long sleeves. On balance, owners and reviewers highlight the Straton Syncro's impressive finishing and distinctive retro design as its strongest attributes.

The Yema Yachtingraff Seconde/Seconde/ is a collaboration watch featuring a hand-painted graffiti-style dial with wet paint drips and spray can pushers, powered by a Seiko VK63 meca-quartz movement. One owner noted slight marks on the lugs, bezel, and case of a pre-owned example, rating its condition at 88%. On balance, reviewers highlight the artistic and humorous blend of design elements as the watch's primary appeal.
