What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Straton Curve Chrono MKII

The watch offers a retro motorsport aesthetic with a quality finish and well-chosen movements at an affordable price. Reviewers did not agree on any specific weaknesses.

Longines ELEGANT COLLECTION

The Longines Elegant Collection is widely appreciated for its value and the complications offered at its price point. However, some owners find the case finishing could be improved, and certain variants are noted as being thick with sub-dials that can be difficult to read. On balance, owners view the Longines Elegant Collection as a satisfying watch, particularly for its value and complications.
