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.

Fears Brunswick 40 (Black)

The Fears Brunswick 40 (Black) is praised for its shirt-cuff-sleek 11.06mm thin case and a bespoke five-link bracelet with a butterfly clasp, noted for its wrist-hugging comfort and muscular appearance on the cushion case. Its brushed finish effectively hides hairlines. The ETA 2824-2 automatic movement powers the watch. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the Fears Brunswick 40 (Black) highly for its British, bespoke take on the classic sports watch design and comfortable wearability.
