What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

Synthesized for each watch independently from owner discussions, enthusiast forums, written reviews, and video reviewers.

Baltic MR Roulette

The Baltic MR Roulette is praised for its vintage-inspired roulette dial with multi-sector, multi-layer, and asymmetrical design, and faceted dauphine hands. Reviewers highlight the dial's depth created by contrasting textures like circular brushing and glossy or grained sectors, and the 36mm case's vertical bezel brushing and polished lugs. The watch uses a Hangzhou micro-rotor movement. However, reviewers note the micro-rotor movement can feel rattly and loose, producing a jangly sound when tapped. On balance, reviewers appreciate the Baltic MR Roulette's distinctive dial design and vintage aesthetic, despite the noted movement characteristics.

From video reviewers

The MR Roulette's excellent finishing, particularly on the case and the bezel, is a notable strength. The bracelet's noise when moved around is a shared weakness. Reviewers do not explicitly disagree on any specific point.

Galo Novo Cruisin

Owners widely praise the Galo Novo Cruisin's attractive specs and price, with many calling it a perfect summer watch and appreciating its clean, refreshing, and beautiful design. The bronze case variant features "killer lume" that glows blue-green and looks great in the sun, and the watch is comfortable enough for constant wear. However, owners are split on the 38mm/39mm sizing, with some finding it too small and others preferring sub-40mm cases. Significant frustration exists regarding Galo's communication, with owners citing rolling delays, a perceived lack of transparency, and misleading timelines, leading to a negative customer service impression and some considering order cancellations. One owner noted their crown does not screw in. Overall, owners rate the Galo Novo Cruisin highly for its aesthetic appeal and value, despite significant concerns about production communication and transparency.
