Ikepod Megapod x Ace Jewelers x Laser 314 — This Is Our TimevsPraesidus DD-45

The Ikepod Megapod x Ace Jewelers x Laser 314 — This Is Our Time is an art-focused collaboration with a bold street-art design. Its 46mm UFO-inspired case wears smaller due to its lugless, rounded shape. The watch features a Miyota Caliber 9039 automatic movement with a 42-hour power reserve and an integrated silicon strap. Reviewers note the black seconds hand is nearly invisible against the matte black dial, making precise time-telling difficult. Overall, reviewers highlight the Ikepod Megapod x Ace Jewelers x Laser 314 — This Is Our Time for its unique art-focused design and wearable case shape, despite a readability challenge.

The Praesidus DD-45 is lauded for its detailed vintage-inspired design and solid finishing, with reviewers highlighting the impressive aged indices and hands on the "Patina" version and a well-finished 38mm steel case. Its 100-meter water resistance exceeds that of the original military watches, and the included leather strap is praised for its quality and vintage character, despite initial stiffness. One reviewer notes the Landeron movement exhibits jerky hand-winding. Overall, reviewers rate the Praesidus DD-45 highly for its faithful vintage aesthetic and robust build at its $900 price point.
