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.

Nodus Obscura II - DLC

Owners widely praise the Nodus Obscura II - DLC for its high quality and value, with one owner calling it their first tactical watch that lives up to the hype. Reviewers highlight the novel "Exposure Gauge Complication" bezel, designed for photographers using the Sunny 16 rule, as a well-executed feature. The TMI NH38 movement is considered basic. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Nodus Obscura II - DLC highly for its unique bezel complication and strong value proposition at $650.
