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 Desk Diver

The Cincinnati Watch Company Desk Diver is a 40mm hand-wind watch with a black dial, acrylic crystal, and FKM rubber strap, powered by a Sellita SW210 manual wind movement. Owners report the watch gained one second per day, and it comes with a QC and timing report. Some find the Desk Diver a unique novelty, though many consider its $1500 price too high. The watch has 0 meters of water resistance, and its vintage case may show small marks. Overall, owners rate the Cincinnati Watch Company Desk Diver as a unique novelty, with the primary reservation being its high price for its perceived playful nature.

Boldr Rally

Owners widely praise the Boldr Rally's compact 38mm titanium case and excellent value under A$500. The VK64 mecaquartz movement has proven reliable for years, and the sapphire crystal is a welcome feature. Some owners find the dial busy and difficult to read, particularly the black hands against the black subdial, and note the bead-blasted titanium case can be a scratch magnet. The default straps have been described as boring or not holding up to daily wear. Overall, owners rate the Boldr Rally highly for its robust titanium construction and excellent value, despite some legibility concerns.

From video reviewers

The 38mm titanium case with a 44mm lug-to-lug measurement provides a comfortable and compact fit. The 200m water resistance is noted as robust for a chronograph. The 14mm thickness was mentioned as potentially substantial for the watch's size.
