What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

Synthesized for each watch independently from owner discussions, enthusiast forums, written reviews, and video reviewers.

Oris Aquis Date Upcycle

Owners widely appreciate the Oris Aquis Date Upcycle's unique, colorful dials made from recycled PET plastic, noting the strong conservation message and artistic look. Reviewers consistently highlight the robust Aquis build, 300m water resistance, and reliable Sellita SW 200-1 movement. Some owners find the dial's appearance inconsistent, and one reviewer notes its complexity can impact legibility for a dive watch. The 41.5mm version offers a more muted palette, and the movement provides a 38-hour power reserve. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Oris Aquis Date Upcycle highly for its distinctive, eco-conscious dial and solid dive watch construction at the price.

From video reviewers

High-quality build is a notable feature of the Oris Aquis Date Upcycle. A potential drawback is that the multicolored recycled plastic dial may not appeal to everyone. Reviewers disagree on the importance of size, with one reviewer praising the watch's smaller size and another preferring a larger watch.

Fortis Marinemaster M-44

The Fortis Marinemaster M-44 is praised for its excellent build quality and wearability, featuring a highly legible dial and a COSC-certified Kenissi-based movement that ran at 0 seconds per day. Owners appreciate its 70-hour power reserve and the inclusion of multiple straps and a deployant buckle, noting its gorgeous appearance and great wrist presence. A minor point raised is the 21mm lug width, with a wish for it to be 22mm. The Fortis Marinemaster M-44 is priced at $4,150. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Fortis Marinemaster M-44 highly for its robust specifications and comfortable wearability at its price point.
