Miyota

Miyota's premium automatic caliber positioned as a Japanese alternative to the ETA 2824-2 and Sellita SW200-1. The 9015 adds hacking, hand-winding, and a smoother 28,800 vph beat rate over the budget 8215. Its thinner profile and higher jewel count make it a favorite among microbrands seeking a reliable mid-range movement that punches above its price point.

03The community take

Owners talk.

“

Owners and reviewers widely praise the Astor + Banks Fortitude Pro for its top-tier build quality and fit and finish, especially considering its price point and microbrand origin. Specific strengths highlighted include its scratch-resistant coating, versatile white dial, thin 38.5mm case, and good timekeeping. One owner notes the bracelet clasp is considered dated, and a reviewer points out the date numeral is often in half shadow due to anti-magnetic shielding. The Astor + Banks Fortitude Pro features a Miyota 9015 movement and 200m water resistance. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the Astor + Banks Fortitude Pro highly for its excellent build quality and wearability at its price point.
