What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Fortis Novonaut N-42

Owners widely praise the Fortis B-42 Official Cosmonauts for its stunning fit and finish, excellent legibility, and a precise, grippy bezel, with one owner calling its bracelet the nicest they've ever owned. The Fortis Novonaut N-42 is described as a flawless beast with a WERK 17 column-wheel chronograph movement, featuring enhanced shock resistance and COSC adjustment, and is noted as a handsome tool watch with a beautiful dial and nice pusher action. However, the 42mm case of the B-42 wears larger than expected, and the Novonaut's 44mm case and chunky bracelet make it too large and heavy for many. The Fortis Titanium Legacy is a modern pilot's watch with a titanium case and bracelet, featuring a Kenissi WERK 13 movement with a 70-hour power reserve and three time zones. Overall, owners and reviewers highly regard the Fortis Titanium Legacy for its robust tool watch design and advanced movement technology, despite some concerns about case size and bracelet adjustability.

Cincinnati Watch Company The Cincinnatus Field Black Automatic

Owners widely praise the Cincinnati Watch Company The Cincinnatus Field Black Automatic as a stunning and well-made watch for the money, highlighting its textured dial, applied gilt numerals, and handset. The 38mm size is considered a comfortable fit, even on larger wrists, and the micro-adjust bracelet is a notable feature. Owners also appreciate the satisfying winding action of the Sellita SW200-2 Power+ movement and the alternating polishing and brushing on the bezel. Some owners, however, dislike the dial design or prefer a glossy black dial over the textured one, and one owner noted the watch comes on a NATO strap only. Overall, owners rate the Cincinnati Watch Company The Cincinnatus Field Black Automatic highly for its value, build quality, and appealing design details at its price point.
