03The community take

Owners talk.

“

Owners widely praise the IXDAO 36.8mm VD78 Quartz Dress Watch for its clean dial, elegant proportions, and surprisingly good polishing on hands and markers, especially considering its $300 price point, with some calling it their best watch yet. The green color and emblem are also highlighted as positives. However, some owners note a non-recessed seconds dial on the white and silver model as a disappointment, and the 22mm lug width is considered inconvenient by some. One owner reported a slightly misaligned bezel on a specific variant, though they also praised the high overall quality, bright lume, and unique bracelet. IXDAO is generally positioned in quality and specs slightly below San Martin, comparable to Octopus Kraken and Sugess/Seestern. Overall, owners rate the IXDAO 36.8mm VD78 Quartz Dress Watch highly for its impressive finishing and design at an accessible price point.
