What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Maen Manhattan 40

Owners appreciate the Maen Manhattan 40's thin case and unique dial, with some finding its proportions too large for smaller wrists. One owner noted a snagging crown and difficult winding action. Accuracy figures vary, with one owner reporting +18s/d to +24s/d on the 37mm version, while another owner of the 40mm model did not specify accuracy. On balance, owners and reviewers find the Maen Manhattan 40 to be a good value, with its thinness and dial finishing being key strengths.

Phoibos Leviathan

Owners widely report the Phoibos Leviathan offers a vintage experience at an affordable price due to its proportions and conservative design. However, the watch is considered well-made and sturdy but quite heavy, with a 45mm x 54mm lug-to-lug case and a 15.5mm thickness, leading some owners to replace the stock band. On balance, owners rate the Phoibos Leviathan highly for its vintage feel and sturdy build at its price point.

From video reviewers

The watch features 500m water resistance and a Seiko NH35 automatic movement. The case size is a point of contention, with reviewers noting it is substantial and may overwhelm smaller wrists, while others highlight a 40mm case size as an improvement.
