What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Maen Manhattan 40

Owners appreciate the Maen Manhattan 40's thin case and unique dial, with some finding its proportions too large for smaller wrists. One owner noted a snagging crown and difficult winding action. Accuracy figures vary, with one owner reporting +18s/d to +24s/d on the 37mm version, while another owner of the 40mm model did not specify accuracy. On balance, owners and reviewers find the Maen Manhattan 40 to be a good value, with its thinness and dial finishing being key strengths.

Longines PRIMALUNA

Owners widely praise the Longines PRIMALUNA for its attractive style and understated 26.5mm size, with some preferring the automatic for its craftsmanship and heirloom quality. The redesigned 34mm model features an automatic movement, date complication, and polished case design, available in steel or bi-metal with various dial and strap options. Accuracy averages a loss of 1.3 seconds per day across six positions, running 3-4 seconds slower on the wrist, which is within COSC standards. Prices range from EUR 2,850 to EUR 6,600. Overall, owners rate the Longines PRIMALUNA highly for its appealing design and reliable automatic movement.
