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.

Venezianico Nereide Tungsteno 39

Owners widely praise the Venezianico Nereide Tungsteno 39 for its attractive aesthetics, particularly the iridescent tungsten bezel and mother-of-pearl dial, and its thin profile. The Miyota 9039 movement is noted for keeping good time and contributing to the watch's slimness. Some owners report a stiff bezel that loosens with wear and desire brighter lume. Criticisms consistently focus on the bracelet, citing split pins, a lack of micro-adjustments and quick-release spring bars, and a need for smoothing. Overall, owners rate the Venezianico Nereide Tungsteno 39 highly for its unique design and value, despite noted bracelet shortcomings.
