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.

Zelos Artemis

The watch's unique modular case construction with a sandblasted titanium outer case and a grey/white Cerakote coating on the center is a notable strength. The FKM rubber strap can be prone to a slight rattle, which may be a minor annoyance for some owners. Reviewers disagree on the watch's value proposition, with one reviewer questioning its value for collectors.
