Oak & Oscar The Olmsted Matte

Oak & Oscar The Olmsted Matte is praised for its stealthy, modern field watch aesthetic, featuring a durable ceramic-coated steel case and a clean, no-date dial. Reviewers highlight its comfortable 38mm dimensions and 100m water resistance. The watch offers exceptional value at $1,475, including two straps and a travel wallet, with a modified ETA 2892-A2 movement. One reviewer notes the ceramic coating may develop patina with heavy wear. Overall, reviewers rate Oak & Oscar The Olmsted Matte highly for its stealthy design and value proposition.

Resco Manus Chronograph - DLC

Owners appreciate the Resco Manus Chronograph - DLC for its quality and the addition of a quartz chronograph to their collection, with one owner noting it feels and looks good. However, some community members consider Resco watches, including the Manus Chronograph - DLC, to be pricey for the brand's current market standing, particularly given its quartz movement. On balance, owners value the Resco Manus Chronograph - DLC for its build quality and functional appeal as a quartz chronograph.
