One owner reported poor quality with a plastic-like crystal, audible rattling, and significant timekeeping issues within 24 hours, deeming the Baltic HMS 002 - Gold PVD overpriced. Another commenter felt the design needed upgrades to its movement and crystal, noting a cheap feel to the dial's textured section. On balance, the consensus among the limited owner feedback is that the Baltic HMS 002 - Gold PVD has significant quality concerns for its price point.

Zelos Great White 43

Owners widely praise the Zelos Great White 43's "unbelievable" and "amazing" lume, particularly on the carbon and Frost variants.

Opinions are divided on colorways, with some disappointed by the absence of a "Nebula" option and others finding the "Arctic" version striking. Overall, owners rate the Zelos Great White 43 highly for its exceptional lume and robust specifications at the price point.
