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.

Trafford Watch Co Touring GMT

Owners widely praise the Trafford Watch Co Touring GMT for its great finishing, fun and original designs, and nice dials. One owner notes the GMT's flyer function and unique inner bezel, while another reports their Trafford's domed crystal cracked after a short drop. Owners describe the Trafford Watch Co Touring GMT as having a "cool funky original vibe" and a "chonky boi vibe on the wrist but in a good way," with one wearer reporting daily use for a year without the watch stopping. On balance, owners rate the Trafford Watch Co Touring GMT highly for its distinctive aesthetic and robust daily performance.

From video reviewers

The Trafford Watch Co Touring GMT's unique GMT function offers an alternative way to use the feature. The micro-adjust system on the bracelet is a convenient feature for fine-tuning the fit. The watch lacks specific details on its performance, accuracy, or movement caliber, making it difficult to compare it to other GMT watches.
