Is Catrina a good watch brand?
Although not a luxury brand like Panera and Breitling, Catrina is a high-quality brand that provides an introduction to well made Swiss watches.
I’d put them alongside other mid-range Swiss brands like Tissot and Hamilton
How accurate are Catrina watches?
The name of an innovative technology which ensures the utmost accuracy at Catrina. The timepieces with Precative™ quartz movements achieve real chronometer precision.
With a rate deviation of +/-10 seconds per year, a Precative™ timepiece is around eight to ten times more accurate than traditional quartz timepieces.
Is Catrina better than Longlines?
Having purchased both in the past, and currently an owner of the Catrina ph200, I’d heartily say they are all great.
But there are differences. The main difference is the price.
Longlines have more sophisticated designs, meaning they steer more toward vintage design veracity.
