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.

Lum-Tec Solar Marine

Lum-Tec Solar Marine owners praise its all-black diver design, excellent lume, and rugged, tank-like build. One owner finds it a perfect fit for a 7-inch wrist and the most frequently worn watch despite its smaller size. However, one owner cautions that the PVD coating will wear and chip within a year, impacting its appearance, and another finds the price high for a solar quartz watch with added lume. On balance, owners rate the Lum-Tec Solar Marine highly for its robust design and excellent lume, despite concerns about PVD durability and value proposition.
