What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

Synthesized for each watch independently from owner discussions, enthusiast forums, written reviews, and video reviewers.

Astor + Banks AB Clásico

The Astor + Banks Silver is praised for its nice finishing on the case and dial, with a nice texture on the dial. The watch's lug-to-lug fit is relatively slim, making it comfortable to wear. A weakness of the watch is its lume, which could be a bit brighter.

Echo/Neutra Averau Ceramic Chrono

The Echo/Neutra Averau Ceramic Chrono is praised for its excellent case finishing, high-quality dial with applied indices, and generous BGW9 lume, with reviewers and owners noting its well-proportioned 39mm dimensions and balanced dial. The black rubber strap is considered surprisingly nice, and the watch offers a competitive package at $1,970. However, the chronograph pushers are not screw-down despite their appearance, and the 100m water resistance should not be used with the chronograph engaged. The 51.5mm lug-to-lug distance is noted as potentially problematic for smaller wrists, and the engagement of the Sellita SW200 movement is described as unremarkable, with the Oyster-style bracelet considered only of reasonable quality. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the Echo/Neutra Averau Ceramic Chrono highly for its sharp design and quality finishing at its price point.
