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.

Studio Underd0g The Gimlet

Studio Underd0g The Gimlet is praised for its playful, layered dial construction featuring a textured sapphire disc over a luminous base, creating depth and animation, and its comfortable 38mm case dimensions. Owners note its attractive dial color and combination, though some find the design too similar to other models and question the aesthetic of the visible dial screws. The watch utilizes a reliable, tactile Sellita SW210-1 manual-wind movement. On balance, owners and reviewers rate Studio Underd0g The Gimlet highly for its unique dial construction and comfortable wearability.
