The Islander Saltaire 38mm Solar Dive Watch with Ink Black Dial #ISL-278 is lauded for its appealing color and 38mm size, with owners calling it a keeper. Reviewers and owners alike praise its impressive specifications for the price and good finishing. However, some owners express a desire for a date complication, and one owner found the 38mm size too small, despite preferring smaller watches. The bezel is noted to be mineral crystal, not sapphire. Overall, owners rate the Islander Saltaire 38mm Solar Dive Watch with Ink Black Dial #ISL-278 highly for its value and wearability, with the primary praise centering on its color and compact dimensions.
Owners widely praise the Redux Courg Type 39MM for its robust, no-nonsense design and good overall quality, with a reliable Seiko NH53A movement keeping time well. The titanium case and crystal have shown scratch resistance, and the bezel action is described as tight by some. Reviewers note the proprietary RDXB1 or blue lume glows brilliantly, though briefly. Some owners flag the crown stem as flimsy and the unidirectional bezel as having some play. Overall, owners rate the Redux Courg Type 39MM highly for its functional tool-watch design and durable titanium construction.
