ontop - exceptional service and delivery !

I've now found my new favorite watch. As good as this thing looks in pictures, it's even more impressive in person. I couldn't be happier.
Incredible Quality. Lovely watch, would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a nice dress watch.
I was close to buying a Hamilton Khaki Field, but Im very happy I decided to go with Cincinnati instead. I love everything about this watch. Hats off to the watchmakers, these guys are artists!
Owning the Cincinnatus has been a genuinely delightful surprise. The fit and finish are far better than I expected at this price, and the dial is absolutely mesmerizing in person, with a warmth and texture I catch myself staring at. What really won me over is how the design elevates the traditional field watch formula without losing its practicality. This is a watch I can dress up or down, rugged enough for daily wear but refined enough to dress up effortlessly. I've swapped it between the bracelet and a few different leather straps, and it somehow pairs beautifully with everything, making it a watch that feels instantly personal and even more fun to wear. And from the responsive customer service I received along the way, it's clear that Cincinnati Watch Co. isn't just making great watches. They're building a brand that genuinely cares about the people who buy them.
The Union Terminal Mechanical was about the 10th watch I added to my collection and it has been a favorite from day 1. It catches more eyes and gets more attention from friends, family, and colleagues than anything else. Even from non-watch people, if they're familiar with Cincinnati at all, something makes them notice and ask why it looks familiar. A couple of things:
1. It keeps time better than any other watch I own, including some it probably shouldn't out-perform.
2. While it's a 38mm, the lugs are small, so it wears a little smaller than that. If you have a huge wrist it will look a little small on you.
3. It may distract you - I said it catches a lot of attention, I also meant my own. I find myself staring at it multiple times a day.
4. The band it comes with is just...fine. I like the color, but I bought a paratrooper strap for it (one of my favorite kinds) and would consider a steel bracelet too.
5.
6. Sorry about 5, I was distracted by the dial of this watch...
I'm over the moon with this watch! I'm glad I was able to snag one. The dial is amazing, the lume lasts through the night and the power reserve on the automatic is ~67 hours. Finishing is top class and the bracelet is perfect.
Amazing dial and a very high quality watch for a great value. You can tell a lot of care went into the design and assembly. I appreciate the option for an automatic version and will definitely be looking for another watch from them in the future!
It's a beautiful art deco design. Love how the dial integrates with the square case. Everything about the dial's design is on-point; the outer dial rail with the numbers and the inner dial chevron design. Really brings back that art deco vibe. To top it off, it's surprisingly accurate. I hope you decide to put it back into you watch lineup. It's a real signature piece.
I cannot say enough good things about this watch! It was purchased as an anniversary gift for my husband and has since become a staple piece he wears nearly every day! As Cincinnati locals, he loves using it as a conversation piece introducing people to the company and the rich history of the design. The watch it beautiful, shipping was quick, even with having it engraved, and he loves it. We will definitely be purchasing another in the future!
This is my second Cincy and it’s absolutely every bit as good as the first one! Fantastic fit and finish, superlative dial, and the fact that they were early adopters of the new SW-200 movement is a huge plus. Cannot say enough good things about this microbrand! Highly recommend!
This was my first watch purchase! After a month long deep dive down the micro brand rabbit hole the Cincinnatus came out on top. I was a bit apprehensive about buying a watch without trying it own but the specs were spot on and photos looked good. In person the watches looked even better the pictures. Would highly recommend.
Beautiful looking watch however the picture where it shows the face glows gives the impression that it's an indiglo style face which I failed to realize it was a glow in the darkface. It's a nice watch but had the pictures and descriptions better depicted the manner in which the face glows to be a glow in the dark, which doesn't last and is difficult to really charge, I wouldn't have purchased the watch for the cost.
The case and dial are truly impressive, and it’s a pleasure to wear something so distinctly tied to Cincinnati. Photos simply don’t capture its presence on the wrist.
That said, the included strap does not meet the same standard. The vegan leather has a plastic, suede-like texture that tends to attract dirt, and the buckle can occasionally pinch during wear. The watch itself is absolutely worth owning, but I would plan on upgrading the strap for a more comfortable experience. Including a metal bracelet similar to the one offered on the V1 in this revision would have further improved the overall product. Even with these reservations, if presented with the choice again, I would still purchase this watch.
The watch looks and feels fantastic. I really enjoy the Union Terminal clock style because it brings back memories as a child traveling by train with my family.
Absolutely fantastic watch - the fit and finish is great, the bracelet is utilitarian yet comfortable, and the dial is positively stunning. The value proposition is incredible. CWC is honestly such a sleeper microbrand that deserves so much more recognition! As an avid collector i was so impressed with the Cincinnatus (again, positively stunning dial) that I immediately had to order two more watches! I cannot say enough good things about this brand and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a fantastic timepiece. Great job and keep up the excellent work!
I can’t even begin to describe how much I love this watch! It truly embodies the American spirit—independently made, full of originality and character, rugged yet highly practical, with outstanding build quality.
I especially enjoy the tactile feel of hand-winding it, and I really appreciate the meticulous regulation it undergoes before leaving the factory. Its accuracy actually surpasses many of the more expensive Swiss watches in my collection.
On the wrist, it feels perfectly balanced and comfortable. The edges are smooth and well-finished, never sharp or irritating. The lume is excellent, and the water resistance gives me complete confidence to wear it for any activity—it’s a true GADA watch.
I’m even considering getting a second Cincinnati Watch Company timepiece because I love it that much. Thank you for creating such an exceptional product!
The Desk Diver is a very satisfying watch to own, it catches peoples eyes, it's unique and well designed, and it makes me smile. I really like they left the lugs thicker, and I appreciate that it has a Sellita SW200 inside.
Flawless Art Deco symmetry that could cure a mild case of OCD. The architectural aesthetic is pure 1930s elegance, but it’s those stark red hands that steal the show—like a splash of Campari in a bone-dry martini. It doesn’t just tell time; it politely suggests that the rest of your watch collection needs to get its act together.
I've been fond of interesting watches for several years, and I really appreciate this one's local Deco and historical lineage. Who doesn't love Deco? The watch is handsome and has a workhorse Swiss movement. Two thumbs up.
I’m very happy with this watch. The build quality is excellent and the movement so far is accurate. I now prefer this watch over my Marathon SAR. Although I can beat the snot out of the SAR and it is more water resistant the Cincinatus is more comfortable. I also like not having to reset the time every few days just wind it every morning and it’s good to go.
Beautiful watch, a great representation of an iconic cincinnati landmark
