What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Boldr Odyssey Regatta

The Boldr Odyssey Regatta is noted for its robust functionality and utilitarian design, powered by a Valjoux 7750 Elaboré movement. It features a tachymeter bezel graduated in knots and offers 500m water resistance. While its 45.5mm diameter, 18.2mm thickness, and 245g weight make it a substantial timepiece, it wears better than its dimensions might suggest. Overall, owners and reviewers highlight the Boldr Odyssey Regatta's workhorse movement and functional tool-watch capabilities.

From video reviewers

500m water resistance is a consistently praised feature. The watch's significant weight and large case size were noted as drawbacks by multiple reviewers. Reviewers disagreed on whether the bezel's 15-minute markings were redundant given the regatta complication.

KUOE OLD SMITH 90-007

Owners widely praise the KUOE OLD SMITH for its distinctive vintage aesthetic, with specific admiration for the blue hands that pop in sunlight and the satisfying chunky numerals. The watch is considered a discreet dress or office option, with one owner cherishing it despite an initial defective crown. The 38mm size is noted as a perfect fit by one owner, while another finds the 35mm size and 12mm thickness can be problematic on smaller wrists. The $635 price is considered high for the NH38 movement and standard specifications, though some believe the premium is justified by Kuoe's unique design language and microbrand status. Accuracy is reported at -5 seconds per day, but the Super-LumiNova is weak. Overall, owners rate the KUOE OLD SMITH highly for its unique design and cherished vintage aesthetic at the price.
