What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Tissot Ballade

Owners widely praise the Tissot Ballade for its excellent value, immaculate quality for the price, and attractive design, with many highlighting the mesmerizing dial and hobnail or fluted bezel. Reviewers and owners alike commend its comfortable 39mm proportions and slim case, noting the COSC-certified Powermatic 80 movement as a significant strength. Some owners find the included strap and clasp to be areas for potential improvement, and one owner noted disappointment with a quartz movement in a specific model. Overall, owners and reviewers consider the Tissot Ballade a strong value proposition, excelling in design and movement certification at its price point.

From video reviewers

The Tissot Ballade's unique, intricately cut ribbed bezel design adds depth and character to the case. The watch's stunning finishing is a notable strength, suggesting a high level of craftsmanship and attention to detail. A drawback is the somewhat lacking lume brightness, which may be a concern for those who plan to wear it in low-light conditions.

Yema Skin Diver Slim CMM.20

Owners and reviewers widely praise the Yema Skin Diver Slim CMM.20 for its balanced 39mm case, vintage aesthetic, and unique champagne dial. The proprietary CMM.20 micro-rotor movement is a notable feature, though some owners report potential QC issues including erratic timegrapher readings and second-hand stutter. The lume is described as subdued, and while some find the "dragon scale" bracelet beautiful, others consider it generic. The price point is a hurdle for some, and the stamped clasp quality is considered subpar by one reviewer, with a gap noted by an owner. The lack of hacking seconds is flagged as a drawback at its price. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Yema Skin Diver Slim CMM.20 highly for its vintage charm and balanced wearability.
