What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Formex Field Automatic

Owners widely praise the Formex Field Automatic for its lightweight, scratch-resistant Grade 2 titanium case with a hardening treatment and its comfortable wearability, especially with quick-release straps and a carbon clasp. Reviewers and owners alike highlight the dial's legibility and depth, with one noting the Petrol Blue's great color and subtle texture. The Sellita SW200-1 movement is considered a practical choice, with one owner reporting accuracy of +1 second per day. The watch offers 150m water resistance and is seen as good value under $1000. Some owners desire a matching titanium bracelet and find the numeral typography less appealing. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Formex Field Automatic highly for its robust, comfortable titanium construction and functional dial design at its price point.

Straton Syncro MKII Mechanical Chrono

Owners widely appreciate the Straton Syncro MKII Mechanical Chrono's retro racing aesthetic and perceived value. Some owners note the watch is reliable and durable, with a clear date window. One owner finds the 44mm case comfortable, while another reviewer states the 40mm case wears larger than its dimensions. The included Milanese bracelet is criticized for its outdated clasp and polished finish contrasting with the brushed case. The consensus is that owners value the Straton Syncro MKII Mechanical Chrono for its design and customization options at its price point.
