03The community take

Owners talk.

“

Owners widely praise the IXDAO 36.8mm VD78 Quartz Dress Watch for its exceptional finishing, with mirror black polish on hands and markers, clean minimal dials, and a genuine care in design that catches the light. The 36.8mm case is noted as comfortable and well-proportioned, featuring a domed sapphire crystal and a patterned screw-in caseback that some describe as a piece of art. The textured and guilloche dials, particularly the purple and white variants, are highlighted as mesmerizing and unique. However, some owners find the $299 price high for a quartz movement, with community debate centering on whether the finishing justifies the cost. Legibility issues are reported for the black dial's mirror-polished Breguet numerals in indoor lighting, leading some to suggest the white or salmon dials are better suited.
