Anyone own a Unimatic?

Anyone own a Unimatic? How do these wear on the wrist? How is the quality since it is a microbrand?

I am thinking of getting one between these 2

I own the Unimatic Uncrate U3 limited edition. It’s a beater watch that I wear when I go travelling because it’s light and comfortable and cheap. I like the design which is the main reason I bought it, but the quality is a little lacking: the chronograph hand doesn’t center right at 12 o’clock, it’s pointing at 11:59. I’m OCD so I sent it to Unimatic for a free repair and they claimed they fixed it but it looks the same when I got it back which made me doubt it was even looked at, but I was also too lazy to send it back a second time. Overall, I’m happy with it.
