The watch features a 36x38mm case with a 46mm lug-to-lug, which owners report wears like a 40mm round watch and is just under 11mm thick. Specific design elements frequently highlighted include polished lugs, an overlapping bezel, a concave crystal, and contrasting second hands, with some noting subtle case side finishing and a hardened case coating.

Some owners note a minor, light-dependent imperfection on the case near the 8 o'clock position. The 5ATM water resistance is considered a limitation for swimming. While brand owner responsiveness is generally praised, some potential buyers experienced difficulty reaching the brand via Instagram.
