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.

Tissot Le Locle Open Heart

Owners widely praise the Tissot Le Locle Open Heart for its elegant aesthetic, featuring a guilloché dial and Roman numerals, and appreciate its practical 80-hour power reserve and Nivachron hairspring. The watch is also noted for offering dual bracelet and strap options, along with a see-through case back. However, one owner flags negative community feedback regarding the comfort of the synthetic leather strap. Overall, owners rate the Tissot Le Locle Open Heart highly for its attractive design and impressive technical specifications at its price point.
