What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Sternglas Marus 2.0

Owners widely praise the Sternglas Marus 2.0 for its well-built, heavy case and excellent bezel action, which is considered superior to some competitors. Reviewers note the refined case and luminous dial markers, while the green dial stands out from other divers. The Seiko NH35A movement offers accuracy ranging from -20/+40 seconds per day. One reviewer desired a slightly larger screw-down crown. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Sternglas Marus 2.0 highly for its robust build and standout dial at its price point.

From video reviewers

The Seiko NH35 automatic movement is a shared strength. Reviewers did not reach a consensus on any weaknesses.

MKII Key West

Owners widely praise the MKII Key West for its true gilt dial and modest 39mm case size, making it a comfortable daily wear. Some owners note the ETA 2893-2 GMT movement and 20mm strap width as appealing features. Criticisms include the absence of a lumed bezel and cyclops, extended wait times, and a price point of $1600 USD. On balance, owners consider the MKII Key West a grail watch due to its vintage aesthetics and wearability.
