Reviewers note its attractive retro design, good quality for the price, and comfortable 42mm case size. Some owners have experienced late deliveries, and one reviewer flagged potential glare from the domed sapphire crystal and a desire for a more distinctive 12 o'clock marker, with shiny hands also noted as a minor legibility concern.
