Reviews

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

Terranova Watches Auto '72 - Ref. TNA 01.1

Owners praise the Terranova Watches Auto '72 - Ref. TNA 01.1 for its solid build quality and beautiful design, with one owner noting it feels more substantial than a Casio and includes a better strap. Reviewers highlight the satisfying crown and winding action, along with excellent dial legibility and 3D lume numerals. Some owners desire a larger display. On balance, owners and reviewers appreciate the Terranova Watches Auto '72 - Ref. TNA 01.1 for its refined finishing and functional design elements.

Longines Avigation Bigeye

Owners and reviewers widely praise the Longines Avigation Bigeye for its vintage military aesthetic, legible dial with a unique "big eye" subdial, and tactile chronograph pusher action. The 41mm steel case wears well, and the boxed sapphire crystal is a notable feature. However, some find the 14.45mm thickness typical for its movement, and the 30-minute sub-dial's three-minute hash marks can compromise reading speed. The stock strap is generally considered unremarkable, and the lack of drilled lugs makes strap changes less convenient. Some owners report minor QC issues with chronograph hand alignment and a loud rotor. Overall, owners rate the Longines Avigation Bigeye highly for its cohesive vintage design and appealing chronograph functionality at its price point.

From video reviewers

The titanium case offers exceptional lightness and balance on the wrist. Reviewers did not reach a consensus on any weaknesses.
