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 DLC

The Fortis Marinemaster M-44 DLC is widely praised for its robust COSC-certified Kenissi Werk 11 movement, offering a 70-hour power reserve, and its stealthy, scratch-resistant Dianoir DLC coating. Owners find it comfortable to wear despite its 44mm size, with one owner considering it a standout piece. Some reviewers note a subtle difference in the color tone of the DLC coating on the crown and bezel lock between variants. Overall, owners and reviewers regard the Fortis Marinemaster M-44 DLC highly for its durable construction and reliable, high-spec movement.
