Sensei Says
The specs, in plain English
The movement
NH35. An entry-tier movement (think Seiko NH-series): rugged, serviceable anywhere, and easy to live with. Not decorated, but it just works.
On the wrist
At 38 mm it lands in the modern sweet spot, a 47 mm lug-to-lug suits most wrists.
The value
Genuine bang-for-buck — punches above its price bracket.
