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 Superman Steel CMM.10

Owners widely praise the Yema Superman Steel CMM.10 for its refined casework, including polished lug bevels and an elegant crown guard, and its comfortable 39mm x 10.5mm dimensions. The glossy black lacquer dial and bezel insert are noted for adding depth, and the in-house CMM.10 movement is reported to be accurate, with one owner observing a loss of only 2 seconds over 2 days. The scales bracelet is described as gorgeous and nearly invisible on the wrist, though some find its polished center links too flashy. One reviewer flagged the signature bezel lock mechanism as flimsy and inconvenient. The CMM.10 automatic movement offers a 70-hour power reserve and is regulated to within +5/-3 seconds per day. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the Yema Superman Steel CMM.10 highly for its refined finishing and comfortable wearability at its price point.

From video reviewers

The Yema Steel features an in-house movement with a micro-rotor, one of the most beautiful at this price point. The watch's clasp feels a bit thin, which is a notable drawback. Reviewers disagree on the movement's power reserve, with one reviewer noting a 42-hour reserve and the other not mentioning power reserve at all.
