What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Traska Commuter Carbon Black

The Traska Commuter Carbon Black is widely praised for its excellent fit and finish, with owners noting its build quality rivals significantly more expensive watches. Its proprietary hardening coating offers notable scratch resistance, and the slim 10.5mm case and comfortable bracelet with toolless micro-adjustment contribute to its wearability. The Miyota 9039 movement powers the watch, and one reviewer noted its accuracy at -10/+20 seconds per day. Some owners find the bracelet potentially too large for wrists under 6.5 inches, and one griped about coarse brushing on the hands and initial stiffness in the crown threading. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the Traska Commuter Carbon Black highly for its exceptional value and robust finishing.

anOrdain Model 2

Owners and reviewers widely praise the anOrdain Model 2 for its exceptional, handmade Grand Feu enamel dial, often described as stunning and liquid-like, with a custom typeface and syringe hands. The simple, rugged 36mm steel case is noted for its organic lines and comfortable wearability, and the hand-winding Sellita SW-210 movement offers a smooth winding action. The watch is considered to offer impressive value for its dial work. Some reviewers note the lack of a running seconds hand, a minute track on certain versions, and limited lume on the hands. Water resistance is rated at 5atm, and one reviewer found the AR coating prone to glare. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the anOrdain Model 2 highly for its exquisite enamel dial and strong value proposition.

From video reviewers

The hand-enameled dial is a significant strength. The watch's inclusion in the MoMA Store is also noted.
