What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Formex Essence ThirtyNine

The Formex Essence ThirtyNine is praised for its impressive build quality and value, featuring a patented case suspension system for comfort and protection. It houses a COSC-certified Sellita SW200-1 movement with a 38-hour power reserve and a tool-free strap quick-release system. A minor inconvenience noted is the specific closing order of the clasp. On balance, reviewers rate the Formex Essence ThirtyNine highly for its comfortable wearability and excellent value at its price point.

From video reviewers

The case suspension system enhances comfort and the COSC-certified movement is a strong feature. The bracelet exhibits noticeable rattle. Reviewers disagreed on the ideal case size, with some preferring the 39mm and others the 41mm.

Formex Field Automatic

Owners widely praise the Formex Field Automatic for its lightweight, scratch-resistant Grade 2 titanium case with a hardening treatment and its comfortable wearability, especially with quick-release straps and a carbon clasp. Reviewers and owners alike highlight the dial's legibility and depth, with one noting the Petrol Blue's great color and subtle texture. The Sellita SW200-1 movement is considered a practical choice, with one owner reporting accuracy of +1 second per day. The watch offers 150m water resistance and is seen as good value under $1000. Some owners desire a matching titanium bracelet and find the numeral typography less appealing. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Formex Field Automatic highly for its robust, comfortable titanium construction and functional dial design at its price point.
