What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Formex Essence ThirtyNine

The Formex Essence ThirtyNine is praised for its impressive build quality and value, featuring a patented case suspension system for comfort and protection. It houses a COSC-certified Sellita SW200-1 movement with a 38-hour power reserve and a tool-free strap quick-release system. A minor inconvenience noted is the specific closing order of the clasp. On balance, reviewers rate the Formex Essence ThirtyNine highly for its comfortable wearability and excellent value at its price point.

From video reviewers

The case suspension system enhances comfort and the COSC-certified movement is a strong feature. The bracelet exhibits noticeable rattle. Reviewers disagreed on the ideal case size, with some preferring the 39mm and others the 41mm.

Cincinnati Watch Company The Cincinnatus Field Black Automatic

Owners widely praise the Cincinnati Watch Company The Cincinnatus Field Black Automatic as a stunning and well-made watch for the money, highlighting its textured dial, applied gilt numerals, and handset. The 38mm size is considered a comfortable fit, even on larger wrists, and the micro-adjust bracelet is a notable feature. Owners also appreciate the satisfying winding action of the Sellita SW200-2 Power+ movement and the alternating polishing and brushing on the bezel. Some owners, however, dislike the dial design or prefer a glossy black dial over the textured one, and one owner noted the watch comes on a NATO strap only. Overall, owners rate the Cincinnati Watch Company The Cincinnatus Field Black Automatic highly for its value, build quality, and appealing design details at its price point.
