Marloe Watch Company Coniston AutovsTissot Telemeter 1938

Owners widely praise the Marloe Coniston Auto's unique design, layered dial, applied indices, and skeleton handset, with one owner noting its pleasing caseback and versatility as an everyday watch. The comfortable orange silicone strap is a favorite, and the overall presentation and packaging are considered excellent. Accuracy from the Miyota 8N24 movement ranges from +-10-20 seconds per day, which some find not ideal for a daily wearer, and the BGW9 lume is noted as less enduring than on other models. One owner dislikes the "WATCH COMPANY" text on the dial. On balance, owners rate the Marloe Coniston Auto highly for its visually pleasing and well-built design at its price point.

The Tissot Telemeter 1938 is widely praised for its vintage-inspired aesthetic, handsome dial finishing, and value as a mechanical chronograph. Owners and reviewers highlight its balanced dial, the "old-looking" vintage logo, and the attractive two-tone dial variations. The Valjoux A05.231 movement is noted for its 68-hour power reserve, though one owner describes its feel as "alive" and "like its engine." The double-sided anti-reflective coating and the way sunlight interacts with the hands are also appreciated. However, the 42mm case size is frequently cited as being too large for a retro-inspired watch, with many wishing for a smaller option, and its 30-meter water resistance is considered poor. The pusher feel is described as sharp, though slightly stiff, and one reviewer found the Tissot branding on the dial and crown excessive.
