The Makara Watches Sea Turtle II is widely praised for its industrial aesthetic, beautiful bronze work with developing patina, and excellent dial readability due to its double-layered sapphire dome. Owners appreciate the watch's solid, hefty feel and elegant, simple dial, with one user noting its case shape appears to change from different angles. Accuracy is reported as +/- 2 seconds per day. Some find the watch chunky, with one owner describing the buckle's machined surface as rough. The stock silicone strap with a brass knuckle clasp was noted as being too large for a 7" wrist, and another user found the notched rubber strap tricky to put on. One owner reported poor customer service experiences. Overall, owners rate the Makara Watches Sea Turtle II highly for its attractive bronze finishing and clear dial at an affordable price point.
