From video reviewers

The watch's bronze case develops a unique patina over time, adding to its character. A potential weakness is the watch's bronze reacting with certain skin types or environments, causing discoloration or staining. Reviewers disagree on the lume brightness, with one reviewer finding it lacking and the other not mentioning it.
