What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

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.

Vario 1945 D12 Bronze Fumé

Owners widely appreciate the Vario 1945 D12 Bronze Fumé for its historical representation and the use of two lume colors. The blended branding is considered tasteful by some, though one owner expressed indecision about the logo and crown position. The 37mm bronze case is designed to develop a patina, as are the bronze hands, complementing the gradient matte black dial with faux-patina lume. The Miyota 82S5 automatic movement, however, is noted by owners to be noisy and rattly, with one owner reporting +7 seconds per day accuracy and a 40-hour power reserve. Overall, owners rate the Vario 1945 D12 Bronze Fumé positively for its aesthetic appeal and historical narrative, despite the noisy movement.

From video reviewers

The bronze case developing a patina is a key aesthetic feature. Reviewers found the value proposition to be good at $428 USD.
