What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Ferro Race Master Automatic

Owners widely praise the Ferro Race Master Automatic for its value, with one enthusiast highlighting the British racing green dial, strong lume, beautifully engraved case back, and comfortable 39mm brushed steel case. The transparent movement descriptions are also appreciated. However, one owner reported poor communication and suspected delays regarding a pre-production order. On balance, owners rate the Ferro Race Master Automatic highly for its dial aesthetics and comfortable wearability at its price point.

Maen Brooklyn 36

Owners widely praise the Maen Brooklyn 36 for its attractive sunburst dials, particularly the green and tan combination, and its well-finished Jubilee bracelet that offers an expensive feel. The 36mm case size and 46mm lug-to-lug are noted as fitting smaller wrists well, with one owner finding its 12.6mm thickness surprisingly compact. The triple calendar complication is appreciated at its price point, and some find its construction and finish superior to competitors. However, some owners express concerns about potential quality control issues, with one noting an askew 12 o'clock index. There are also mixed sentiments regarding the brand's newness and the longevity of its Miyota movement compared to established Swiss brands, alongside questions about its price point relative to other options. Overall, owners rate the Maen Brooklyn 36 highly for its attractive design and value, particularly its dial and bracelet finishing.

From video reviewers

The Maen M5.1.1 features a classy dial with a strong Rolex-inspired design. The watch's finishing and quality are on par with previous Maen watches. The Maen M5.1.1 has a relatively high price compared to its competitors, which might be a drawback for some buyers.
