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.

Marathon Jeep Willys SSGPM

The Marathon Jeep Willys SSGPM is praised for its handsome, retro design and attractive, clean dials with great hands. Owners note the case is nicely shaped and offers good value at $650 USD. However, some find the lugs extend far on smaller wrists, and the corporate Jeep logo detracts from the dial's appeal for some. The leather strap may need replacement with regular wear. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Marathon Jeep Willys SSGPM highly for its retro design and value, despite some reservations about the Jeep branding and strap.
