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 Terra Scout

Owners praise the Astor + Banks Terra Scout for its compelling value and well-executed sandwich dial. The watch features a La Joux-Perret G100 movement regulated to +/- 8 seconds per day with a 68-hour power reserve, and offers 200 meters of water resistance within a compact 38.5mm case. Some reviewers noted a desire for a no-date configuration. On balance, owners and reviewers find the Astor + Banks Terra Scout a well-priced and compelling field-style watch.

From video reviewers

The watch's classic proportions meeting modern aesthetics result in a solid and substantial feel. The layered sandwich dial with a dedicated minute track is a thoughtful execution of the brand's design language. The watch's water-resistance is not mentioned, potentially leaving users uncertain about its capabilities.

Glycine Airman No. 1 Purist

The Glycine Airman No. 1 Purist is praised as a faithful re-creation of a historical 24-hour watch, with one owner purchasing it for $620 and viewing it as a long-term keeper due to its heritage reissue status and vintage aesthetics. The 36mm size is noted as a conversation starter. However, the acrylic crystal is prone to scratching, with one example showing a small scratch over the date window. Some community members suggest pre-Invicta models may hold value better. Overall, owners appreciate the Glycine Airman No. 1 Purist for its authentic vintage appeal and unique dial, though the acrylic crystal requires careful handling.
