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.

Marloe Watch Company Sceptre S2

Owners widely praise the Marloe Watch Company Sceptre S2's unique design, with particular admiration for its face, bezel, and distinctive orange chapter ring with "+" hour markers. The bracelet's finish and micro-adjustments are noted as well-executed, contributing to a solid feel and versatility for daily wear. However, some enthusiasts find the 42mm diameter wears large due to the expansive dial and thin bezel. Overall, owners rate the Marloe Watch Company Sceptre S2 highly for its striking aesthetics and solid build at its price point.
