What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Garrick S2 Deadbeat Seconds

The Garrick S2 Deadbeat Seconds is praised for its handcrafted dial and in-house DB-G06 movement featuring a deadbeat seconds complication. Reviewers note the movement is regulated to within +3 seconds per day and offers a 45-hour power reserve, with traditional decoration and a large balance bridge. The 42mm stainless steel case is 10mm thick and boasts 100m water resistance. A significant drawback is the substantial wait time, ranging from at least a year to 16 months, and the watch is priced at £19,000 before taxes, with only 10 produced annually. Overall, reviewers highlight the Garrick S2 Deadbeat Seconds as a highly personalized and handcrafted timepiece, with the long lead time being the primary consideration.

Traska Seafarer Charcoal

The Traska Seafarer Charcoal's notable strength is its refined finishing, which elevates it from a field watch to a luxury-like piece. A shared weakness is the dim lume, which may be a drawback for those who value nighttime visibility. Reviewers disagree on the watch's build, with one reviewer noting a more substantial build and larger case size, while the other does not mention this feature.
