What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

KUOE OLD SMITH 90-002 Bronze

Owners widely praise the KUOE OLD SMITH 90-002 Bronze for its vintage military aesthetic and comfortable 35mm wearability, noting the lug design allows it to fit well on wrists around 7 inches. The Seiko NH-35 movement is reported to be reliable, keeping time within +2 to +3 seconds per day. Some owners dislike the 18mm lug width and the PVD coating on the NATO strap hardware, which does not match the bronze case. Overall, owners rate the KUOE OLD SMITH 90-002 Bronze highly for its vintage appeal and comfortable wearability.

From video reviewers

The watch's bronze case finish is a notable strength, with reviewers highlighting its unique patina and subtle aging effect. A weakness is the lume brightness, which may be a drawback for those who prioritize nighttime readability. Reviewers agree on the watch's movement accuracy, citing the reliable and accurate Seiko NH38 caliber.

Cincinnati Watch Company The Cincinnatus Blue

Owners widely praise the Cincinnati Watch Company The Cincinnatus Blue for its versatile design, pleasant manual winding action, and the value offered by its Sellita SW200-2 automatic movement, especially considering its USA assembly. The textured dial, often described as a "sandpaper dial" that shines in the sun, along with applied numerals and dark blue hands, are frequently highlighted as attractive features. Its 38mm or 39mm diameter and 47mm lug-to-lug dimensions are noted for good wearability on smaller wrists, though one owner found it necessary to remove four links for a proper fit. The lume is described as legible but dim. Overall, owners rate the Cincinnati Watch Company The Cincinnatus Blue highly for its distinctive dial and value at the price point.
