How I score watches
My scores are subjective and based on my own experience, taste and budget. They reflect how a watch performed against what I expected and, generally, how much I liked the look and feel of it. A 5 out of 10 review doesn’t mean the watch isn’t good; it just wasn’t quite right for me. It can still be a great watch for the right person. Use the scores as a starting point, then read the detailed review to see if it suits your wrist!
