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.

LONGINES SPIRIT FLYBACK

Owners widely praise the Longines Spirit Flyback for its attractive design, well-finished titanium case, and value as a chronometer-certified flyback chronograph. Specific positive notes include its fun and useful flyback function for cooking, and the perceived adventure-ready, indestructible feel of the titanium model. However, reviewers and owners consistently flag its 17mm thickness as a significant detractor from wearability, with some finding it too chunky for daily wear. There is also a split opinion on the dial design, with some preferring the older five-star motif and gold hands/markers, while others appreciate the cleaner, simplified dial and cutoff numerals. The Longines Spirit Flyback is priced around $5,350-$6,500 USD. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Longines Spirit Flyback highly for its flyback chronograph complication and attractive design, despite widespread concerns about its thickness.

From video reviewers

The Spirit Flyback's heritage-inspired design is a notable strength, with a distinctive look reminiscent of the original Flyback Chronograph. The watch's price point is somewhat high compared to its competitors, which might be a drawback for some buyers. Reviewers disagree on the watch's design, with one reviewer feeling it needed more of an edge to stand out in the Spirit collection, while another praises its heritage-inspired style.
