Cincinnati Watch Company Rose WindowvsGarrick S2 Deadbeat Seconds

Owners widely praise the Cincinnati Watch Company Rose Window for its comfortable wearability and attractive vintage-inspired design, with one owner calling it one of the best watches available. A specific example highlights the rose gold variant with a full lume dial as a daily wear favorite. One owner, however, found the crown too small and difficult to wind, and questioned the brand's pricing relative to quality. Overall, owners rate the Cincinnati Watch Company Rose Window highly for its attractive design and comfortable wearability.

The Garrick S2 Deadbeat Seconds is praised for its handcrafted dial and movement, featuring an in-house Calibre DB-G06 manual-wind movement with a deadbeat seconds complication. Reviewers note the movement is regulated to within +3 seconds per day. The 42mm stainless steel case is 10mm thick and offers 100m water resistance. A significant drawback is the long lead time, with one source stating at least a year and another specifying 16 months, and the watch is limited to 10 produced annually. On balance, reviewers highlight the bespoke nature and in-house craftsmanship as key strengths of the Garrick S2 Deadbeat Seconds, despite the considerable wait time.
