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.

From video reviewers

The titanium case construction and the sandwich dial are consistently praised. Reviewers noted a perceived "corner cut" and questioned the value at its price point.

Vario VERSA Reversible Dual Time

Owners widely praise the Vario VERSA Reversible Dual Time for its satisfying reversible mechanism, excellent polishing, crisp dial printing, and exceptional value for a dual-face watch. Reviewers and owners alike highlight its novel reversible design, attractive Art Deco-inspired aesthetic, and the value it offers at its price point. Some owners also commend Vario's customer service. The 12mm thickness is a point of discussion, with some finding it surprisingly wearable due to its stepped case and curved bevels, while others note it as a concern due to the dual-watch construction. One reviewer points out the need to remove the watch to switch faces and the potential for smudging on the hidden side. The lack of lume on one dial is seen as a missed opportunity by one owner. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Vario VERSA Reversible Dual Time highly for its clever, well-executed reversible case design and appealing price point.
