Strengths

The FC-335 is appealing as visible mechanics with two calendar indications. The open balance and transparent back provide two views of its construction while keeping a classic 40 mm format.

Things to consider

A 38-hour reserve is short for rotating between several watches. After a stop, time, date and moon phase need restoring; complications add setting tasks as well as decoration.
