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.

“

The TSAO Baltimore is praised for its comfortable 40mm titanium case and the regulated Miyota 9015 movement. Owners appreciate the value proposition and thoughtful details like a double-domed sapphire crystal. However, one owner reported issues with a poorly fitted case back and a crown that pulled out too easily on what they referred to as the "old bay watch." On balance, owners rate the TSAO Baltimore highly for its comfortable wearability and perceived value at the price point.
