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.

Hamilton Jazzmaster Quartz

The Hamilton Jazzmaster Quartz is praised for its solid crown feel, avoiding accidental hacking, and its comfortable proportions with a mainstream aesthetic. Reviewers highlight the case finishing, which features horizontal and vertical brushing alongside polished chamfers. The quartz movement ensures accurate timekeeping, though it is not considered a standout feature. This Hamilton Jazzmaster Quartz is priced at CHF 395. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Hamilton Jazzmaster Quartz highly for its refined case finishing and reliable timekeeping at its price point.
