What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Boldr Rally

Owners widely praise the Boldr Rally's compact 38mm titanium case and excellent value under A$500. The VK64 mecaquartz movement has proven reliable for years, and the sapphire crystal is a welcome feature. Some owners find the dial busy and difficult to read, particularly the black hands against the black subdial, and note the bead-blasted titanium case can be a scratch magnet. The default straps have been described as boring or not holding up to daily wear. Overall, owners rate the Boldr Rally highly for its robust titanium construction and excellent value, despite some legibility concerns.

From video reviewers

The 38mm titanium case with a 44mm lug-to-lug measurement provides a comfortable and compact fit. The 200m water resistance is noted as robust for a chronograph. The 14mm thickness was mentioned as potentially substantial for the watch's size.

Vario 1918 SG60 Merlion Trench

The Vario 1918 SG60 Merlion Trench is widely seen as a commemorative keepsake, particularly for those celebrating Singapore's 60th anniversary or born in 1965. Reviewers note its vibrant red enamel dial and 37mm steel case with fixed wire lugs, along with 100m water resistance. One owner reported the watch is "patina-ing well" after three years, and the Miyota 82S5 movement is considered a reliable, cost-effective base. Overall, owners and reviewers appreciate the Vario 1918 SG60 Merlion Trench as a unique souvenir and tribute piece, with its distinctive enamel dial being a key draw.
