What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Cincinnati Watch Company Desk Diver

The Cincinnati Watch Company Desk Diver is a 40mm hand-wind watch with a black dial, acrylic crystal, and FKM rubber strap, powered by a Sellita SW210 manual wind movement. Owners report the watch gained one second per day, and it comes with a QC and timing report. Some find the Desk Diver a unique novelty, though many consider its $1500 price too high. The watch has 0 meters of water resistance, and its vintage case may show small marks. Overall, owners rate the Cincinnati Watch Company Desk Diver as a unique novelty, with the primary reservation being its high price for its perceived playful nature.

Longines ELEGANT COLLECTION

The Longines Elegant Collection is widely appreciated for its value and the complications offered at its price point. However, some owners find the case finishing could be improved, and certain variants are noted as being thick with sub-dials that can be difficult to read. On balance, owners view the Longines Elegant Collection as a satisfying watch, particularly for its value and complications.
