Our verdict

What we liked

  • Classic Brand Heritage Comes from HMT, a trusted and legacy Indian brand known to older generations.
  • Stunning Dial Features a shiny maroon dial that reflects light beautifully, with stones used as indicators for some numbers.
  • Unique Strap Design The genuine leather strap has a dual-tone finish (brown and lightish beige) with a textured design, adding a unique look.
  • Good Fit The dial size is decent (not too bulky), and the thin case profile sits well on the wrist.
  • Water Resistant It offers water resistance, making it practical for daily use.

Could be better

  • Quality Control Issues The specific unit received was defective; the leather on the strap was peeling off right out of the box.
  • Visible Defects The peeling leather looked very bad when worn, creating a poor impression despite the watch's good design.
