Echo/Neutra Averau Ceramic ChronovsHamilton Jazzmaster Thinline Small Second Quartz

The Echo/Neutra Averau Ceramic Chrono is praised for its excellent case finishing, high-quality dial with applied indices, and generous BGW9 lume, with reviewers and owners noting its well-proportioned 39mm dimensions and balanced dial. The black rubber strap is considered surprisingly nice, and the watch offers a competitive package at $1,970. However, the chronograph pushers are not screw-down despite their appearance, and the 100m water resistance should not be used with the chronograph engaged. The 51.5mm lug-to-lug distance is noted as potentially problematic for smaller wrists, and the engagement of the Sellita SW200 movement is described as unremarkable, with the Oyster-style bracelet considered only of reasonable quality. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the Echo/Neutra Averau Ceramic Chrono highly for its sharp design and quality finishing at its price point.

Owners widely praise the Hamilton Jazzmaster Thinline Small Second Quartz for its excellent value around $300, thin profile at 7mm to 8.4mm, and clean dial design with superb applied hour numerals and dauphine hands. One owner finds its champagne dial particularly upscale. However, the lume is considered terrible, barely lasting a few minutes, and the crown is noted as very small and difficult to manipulate. On balance, owners rate the Hamilton Jazzmaster Thinline Small Second Quartz highly for its thinness and clean dial design at the price.
