The VK63 features a date display at 4 o'clock and provides the satisfying mechanical pusher feel of a traditional chronograph at a fraction of the cost. Battery powered with approximately 3 years of life, it has become the movement of choice for affordable quartz chronographs.

Owners talk.

“

The Ikepod Chronopod C001 is praised for its exceptional case finishing and unique, design-driven aesthetic, offering significant dial depth for its price. Owners find it comfortable despite its 44mm size, with one noting it as a welcome return for the brand. However, some question its value at $340, citing the quartz movement and non-Swiss manufacturing as drawbacks, and prototypes featured large date numerals that drew criticism. Overall, owners and reviewers appreciate the Ikepod Chronopod C001 for its distinctive design and quality finishing at its price point, though value perception varies.
