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 90-002

Owners widely praise the KUOE OLD SMITH 90-002 for its excellent 35mm size and premium feel for the price, with one owner noting its lume is the best they have experienced. The sand-textured cream dial is described as offering depth and legibility, though one owner rated the dial design 2/5 due to numeral offset referencing classic field watches. The watch utilizes a Seiko NH35 or NH38 automatic movement, with Kuoe adjusting it to a range of -20 to +40 seconds/day, though one example ran within +/- 10 seconds/day. On balance, owners rate the KUOE OLD SMITH 90-002 highly for its wearability and craftsmanship at its price point.
