What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Marloe Watch Company Motorsport 105

Owners widely praise the Marloe Watch Company Motorsport 105 for its creative dial design, good contrast, and British Racing Green color, with some finding it wears smaller than its 41mm size. One owner appreciates its lack of a date window and comfortable wear on a 6.5” wrist. However, some users note Marloe's 20mm lug width can make models appear top-heavy, and a significant price increase has been observed across the brand's offerings. Overall, owners rate the Marloe Watch Company Motorsport 105 highly for its distinctive dial design and comfortable wearability.

KUOE OLD SMITH 90-001

KUOE OLD SMITH is widely praised for its vintage aesthetic and comfortable 35mm wearability, with owners noting its attractive bronze case and dial contrast. Reviewers and owners alike highlight its excellent accuracy. However, the case finishing is considered average for the price, and the lume fades quickly. Some find the small date window difficult to read, and the Seiko NH38 movement is described as noisy. The 18mm lug width and PVD-coated strap hardware are also noted as drawbacks. Overall, owners and reviewers find the KUOE OLD SMITH to be a compelling vintage field watch offering good value, particularly for its aesthetic appeal and accuracy.
