What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Fortis Novonaut N-42

Owners widely praise the Fortis B-42 Official Cosmonauts for its stunning fit and finish, excellent legibility, and a precise, grippy bezel, with one owner calling its bracelet the nicest they've ever owned. The Fortis Novonaut N-42 is described as a flawless beast with a WERK 17 column-wheel chronograph movement, featuring enhanced shock resistance and COSC adjustment, and is noted as a handsome tool watch with a beautiful dial and nice pusher action. However, the 42mm case of the B-42 wears larger than expected, and the Novonaut's 44mm case and chunky bracelet make it too large and heavy for many. The Fortis Titanium Legacy is a modern pilot's watch with a titanium case and bracelet, featuring a Kenissi WERK 13 movement with a 70-hour power reserve and three time zones. Overall, owners and reviewers highly regard the Fortis Titanium Legacy for its robust tool watch design and advanced movement technology, despite some concerns about case size and bracelet adjustability.

Magrette Moana Pacific Waterman GMT

Owners and reviewers widely praise the Magrette Moana Pacific Waterman GMT for its attractive, retro-inspired design and excellent value. The 42mm case size is noted as appealing for those who find larger watches uncomfortable. Some find the second hand style visually perplexing, and one owner dislikes the unidirectional bezel. Accuracy figures range from -5s/d. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the Magrette Moana Pacific Waterman GMT highly for its attractive design and value proposition.
