Praesidus A-11 Spec 2 AmeriquartzvsYema Flygraf Bi-Compax French Air Force

Owners praise the Praesidus A-11 Spec 2 Ameriquartz as a sturdy, versatile tool watch at $215 USD, noting its precise Ameriquartz movement. However, some owners report unpolished lugs, random timekeeping errors ranging from 5-15 minutes off, premature battery death, and difficulties with battery replacements and customer service. The canvas strap is also noted as being very long, and the crystal is sapphire-coated K1 mineral. On balance, owners find the Praesidus A-11 Spec 2 Ameriquartz a capable daily beater despite these specific concerns.

Owners widely praise the Yema Flygraf Bi-Compax French Air Force for its attractive, toolish aesthetic and excellent quality for the price, noting the legible Type A dial and 40mm titanium case. However, the acrylic crystal scratches easily, and the titanium case is prone to marking. The mecha-quartz movement's chrono timer sweeps rather than ticks, and one owner questions the purpose of the oversized crown. The in-house Yema 2000 movement is accurate at +/- 10 seconds per day but has a 42-hour power reserve, and some owners express concerns regarding Yema's past quality control and customer service. On balance, owners rate the Yema Flygraf Bi-Compax French Air Force highly for its attractive design and value, despite concerns about material durability and brand service history.
