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.

Cincinnati Watch Company Ladies Union Terminal Watch

Owners widely praise the Cincinnati Watch Company for its attractive dials, unexpectedly good lume, and overall value, with many finding the watches look significantly better in person than in online photos. The gold-plated Union Terminal is considered stunning for dress occasions, and the Cincinnatus Centurion offers great legibility. One owner notes the brand's AWCI certified watchmaker touches a Swiss movement, reporting accuracy of +/- 2 seconds per day. Some owners wish for larger case sizes, and one former owner found the brand's obscurity led to a significant resale loss. Overall, owners rate the Cincinnati Watch Company highly for its striking aesthetics and value, with many singling out the unique dials and impressive lume.
