What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

MKII Project 300

Owners widely praise the MKII Project 300 for its balanced aesthetic, with one owner noting its lume "glows like a torch." Reviewers highlight its design as a dive watch inspired by the Omega Seamaster 300, emphasizing high legibility with a bold yet balanced appearance. One owner found the 41.25mm case fit their wrist perfectly. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the MKII Project 300 highly for its striking lume and well-proportioned dive watch design.

From video reviewers

The 39.5mm case size fits most wrists well. The watch offers 200M water resistance. Reviewers did not reach a consensus on any weaknesses or points of disagreement.

Tissot Telemeter 1938

The Tissot Telemeter 1938 is widely praised for its vintage-inspired aesthetic, handsome dial finishing, and value as a mechanical chronograph. Owners and reviewers highlight its balanced dial, the "old-looking" vintage logo, and the attractive two-tone dial variations. The Valjoux A05.231 movement is noted for its 68-hour power reserve, though one owner describes its feel as "alive" and "like its engine." The double-sided anti-reflective coating and the way sunlight interacts with the hands are also appreciated. However, the 42mm case size is frequently cited as being too large for a retro-inspired watch, with many wishing for a smaller option, and its 30-meter water resistance is considered poor. The pusher feel is described as sharp, though slightly stiff, and one reviewer found the Tissot branding on the dial and crown excessive.
