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.

Sternglas Marus 2.0

Owners widely praise the Sternglas Marus 2.0 for its well-built, heavy case and excellent bezel action, which is considered superior to some competitors. Reviewers note the refined case and luminous dial markers, while the green dial stands out from other divers. The Seiko NH35A movement offers accuracy ranging from -20/+40 seconds per day. One reviewer desired a slightly larger screw-down crown. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Sternglas Marus 2.0 highly for its robust build and standout dial at its price point.

From video reviewers

The Seiko NH35 automatic movement is a shared strength. Reviewers did not reach a consensus on any weaknesses.
