It is noted as being well-made, keeping good time, and durable for outdoor activities, with one owner stating they would pay $650 for it. On balance, owners rate the Cincinnati Watch Company The Cincinnatus Field Automatic highly for its value and suitability as a versatile daily wearer.

Formex Field Automatic

The Formex Field Automatic is widely praised for its durable, scratch-resistant Grade 2 titanium case with a hardening treatment, offering robust and lightweight wearability. Owners and reviewers highlight the upmarket feel and legibility of its complex dials, the comfort provided by quick-release straps and carbon clasps, and the value it presents under $1000. The Sellita SW200-1 movement is considered a practical choice, with one owner reporting accuracy of +1 second per day. Some find the numeral typography less appealing, and one reviewer notes the lume application is thin and not long-lasting. The watch is priced at $870 or £695. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the Formex Field Automatic highly for its comfortable, lightweight titanium construction and well-executed, legible dials at its price point.

From video reviewers

The titanium case construction and the sandwich dial are consistently praised. Reviewers noted a perceived "corner cut" and questioned the value at its price point.
