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.

William Wood Fire Exit Watch

The William Wood Fire Exit Watch is praised for its fun, conversation-starting design and attractive colors, featuring a gunmetal gray 41mm steel case and comfortable straps made from decommissioned fire hose. Reviewers note its Sellita SW220 automatic movement offers a 41-hour power reserve. One reviewer found the small dial indicators difficult to read. Overall, owners and reviewers appreciate the William Wood Fire Exit Watch for its unique design and comfortable wearability.
