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.

Vario Empire Tachymètre Chronograph

The Vario Empire Tachymètre Chronograph is praised for its elegant, art deco-inspired multi-layered dial and comfortable leather strap. Owners note its 38mm diameter, 46mm lug-to-lug, and 11.5mm thickness, along with a sapphire crystal and 5 ATM water resistance. Criticisms include the use of different fonts for sub-dial and perimeter markers, and the absence of a traditional running second hand. Overall, owners appreciate the Vario Empire Tachymètre Chronograph for its distinctive dial design and comfortable wearability.
