Our view
Decent, without standing out
28 of the 70 automatic watches within 20% of its price are better equipped (crystal, water resistance, titanium). You choose it for its design or its brand, not for its spec sheet.
Depending on what you want
- If you plan to swim with it, take the Timex Deep Water Reef 200 Titanium Automatic TW2W73800 instead: water-resistant to 200 m, at €465.52.
- If your wrist is slim, the Casio Edifice Automatique EFK-200XPB-1AER measures only 38 mm, at €449.
- If you want to spend less without losing anything on the spec sheet, the Citizen Tsuyosa Shore NJ0232-53X costs €359.
- If you like the model but not this version, see the Orient Contemporary Sun&Moon RA-AK0011D, at €469.
Reading the spec sheet
What the spec sheet says
- Automatic movement. It winds itself on the wrist, with no battery, using calibre F6B24 avec remontage manuel.
- Sapphire crystal. The most scratch-resistant option.
- Water-resistant to 50 m. A careful swim is fine, diving is not.
- 13 mm thick. Thick: it does not sit well under a shirt cuff.
