Maen Manhattan 37 seconde/seconde/vsTissot Gentleman Open Heart

The Maen Manhattan 37 seconde/seconde/ is widely praised for its dressy styling and perceived step up in quality from other microbrands in its price bracket. Reviewers highlight its slim 9.3mm case, 100m water resistance, and comfortable integrated bracelet as key strengths, with the dark blue dial and hand-painted NYC references described as a hauntingly cool and versatile feature. The Sellita SW200-1 movement powers the time-only display, and the $1,499 price is considered good value. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the Maen Manhattan 37 seconde/seconde/ highly for its unique dial and slim, versatile design at its price point.

Owners widely praise the Tissot Gentleman Open Heart for its versatile dressy-sporty aesthetic and elegant sunburst dial finish, with one owner preferring its less shiny blue dial compared to other versions. The watch offers excellent fit and bracelet adjustability, and its modified Powermatic 80 movement achieves COSC-level accuracy of -3 to +5 seconds/day, though the seconds hand movement is slightly less smooth at 6 movements per second. However, one owner reported the watch arrived non-functional, requiring a return due to an inoperable movement. On balance, owners rate the Tissot Gentleman Open Heart highly for its aesthetic appeal and accurate timekeeping, despite a reported instance of a faulty movement.
