What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

Synthesized for each watch independently from owner discussions, enthusiast forums, written reviews, and video reviewers.

Oak & Oscar The Humboldt ExP-02

Oak & Oscar The Humboldt ExP-02 is a 39.5mm stainless steel tool watch featuring a unique, layered aluminum "ghost dial" for legibility and 200m water resistance, powered by a Sellita SW300 movement. Its appeal is limited by a US$2,550 price and an extremely limited production of 20 pieces, with its experimental dial construction done in Chicago. Overall, reviewers highlight the endearing dial and in-house bezel production as key features of the Oak & Oscar Humboldt ExP-02.

Maen Manhattan 37

Owners widely praise the Maen Manhattan 37's visually rich dial and refined finishing, with some noting its sleek, trim 37mm case and impressive timekeeping. The bracelet receives mixed reactions, with some finding it cheap and lacking compared to alternatives, while others appreciate its taper and overall value. One reviewer highlights the Ultra-Thin variant's slim 7.1mm case and 100m water resistance, powered by a manually wound ETA Pesaux 7001 movement. Conversely, another owner reports a Ronda 150 movement running fast at +18s/d to +24s/d, and some with 6.5-inch wrists find the 47mm lug-to-lug distance wears larger than expected. The Maen Manhattan 37 offers excellent value with its Art Deco-inspired design and remarkable light play on the dial. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Maen Manhattan 37 highly for its visually rich dial and refined finishing at the price.
