Marloe Watch Company Motorsport 105vsTrafford Watch Co Crossroads

Owners widely praise the Marloe Watch Company Motorsport 105 for its creative dial design, good contrast, and British Racing Green color, with some finding it wears smaller than its 41mm size. One owner appreciates its lack of a date window and comfortable wear on a 6.5” wrist. However, some users note Marloe's 20mm lug width can make models appear top-heavy, and a significant price increase has been observed across the brand's offerings. Overall, owners rate the Marloe Watch Company Motorsport 105 highly for its distinctive dial design and comfortable wearability.

Owners widely praise the Trafford Watch Co Crossroads for its unique and unconventional case shape, dial execution, and overall design, often described as classy and evoking a 70s or scholarly vibe. The watch features a 36x38mm case with a 46mm lug-to-lug, which owners report wears like a 40mm round watch and is just under 11mm thick. Specific design elements frequently highlighted include polished lugs, an overlapping bezel, a concave crystal, and contrasting second hands, with some noting subtle case side finishing and a hardened case coating. The Miyota 9039 movement is reported to keep excellent time, with one owner seeing +/- 5 seconds per day accuracy. Some owners note a minor, light-dependent imperfection on the case near the 8 o'clock position. The 5ATM water resistance is considered a limitation for swimming. While brand owner responsiveness is generally praised, some potential buyers experienced difficulty reaching the brand via Instagram.
