What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Mark Time Watches M 6

The Mark Time Watches M 6 features a 39mm case with a deep black dial that gives the hands a floating appearance, and the second hand extends to the edge of the dial. Owners appreciate the absence of a ghost date position, a minimalist logo, and actual bezel screws. However, some find telling time to the nearest minute or two is challenging. Overall, owners value the M 6 for its thoughtful design elements like the full-length second hand and functional bezel screws.

Praesidus DD-45

The Praesidus DD-45 is lauded for its detailed vintage-inspired design and solid finishing, with reviewers highlighting the impressive aged indices and hands on the "Patina" version and a well-finished 38mm steel case. Its 100-meter water resistance exceeds that of the original military watches, and the included leather strap is praised for its quality and vintage character, despite initial stiffness. One reviewer notes the Landeron movement exhibits jerky hand-winding. Overall, reviewers rate the Praesidus DD-45 highly for its faithful vintage aesthetic and robust build at its $900 price point.
