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 (Anthracite)

The Fears Brunswick (Anthracite) is praised for its anthracite dial with raised Arabic numerals and unique eye-dropper hands, which shift from anthracite to silver in different light. Its 38mm cushion case is noted for its contoured design that fits well on the wrist. One owner found the case back to be a letdown. The manually wound ETA 7001 movement offers a 38-40 hour power reserve without hacking seconds. On balance, owners and reviewers appreciate the Fears Brunswick (Anthracite) for its distinctive dial and comfortable wearability.
