I am not a huge fan of Oak & Oscar, mostly due to their below average customer service. They did have better movements and dials though.

Saw the @Clemence_Watches in person at the British Watchmakers Show. Beautiful watches!

Didn't know anything about either until I just checked their websites now. The Clemence blows Oak out of the water in style and specs. But Oak wins on movements. Overall I voted for the Clemence by a good bit.

Happy to see my good buddies at @oak_and_oscar are leading this one. Very special brand to me! Great watches, fun designs, and best of at, genuinely good people.

A brand built by enthusiasts for enthusiasts. Let’s take O&O to the moon fellas!!!

whoa. Sorry to hear that’s how you feel! We pride ourselves on amazing customer service. Sounds like we dropped the ball somewhere. Feel free to shoot me an email or note and let me know how I can do better. - Chase

Love seeing a close match up. Big fans of each brand coming out.

Tried on the @Clemence_Watches at the British watchmakers show. Lovely watch and so comfortable on the wrist. Will definitely be getting one when the restock happens. Tom was such a pleasure to chat to as well which makes such a difference with the buying experience, you can feel the passion in the design and creation.

Really kind, thank you @Noseyparker1972 🙌

Great to see such a close vote @dennisbible, appreciate you rallying the Clemence fans! To be honest, I'm thrilled to be such a close second to @oak_and_oscar, I've been a long time fan of their pieces 🍻

Thank you so much for jumping into the comments. Outside of creating a fun way to expose the community to new brands (the ultimate goal vs winning), I cannot tell you how many folks are excited when brands actually respond. Means a lot!

Whew! Another really tough one. Seems like we have 2 dedicated enthusiast brand that have a true love for what they do. I am attracted to both brands watches, and will be bookmarking for future purchas….er perusal 😀. This one is truly a coin flip.

Ah any time CB! Thank you so much for setting this whole thing up, it's no doubt a major undertaking but it's a huge contribution to the community 🙌! Honoured to be included & look forward to participating in the votes in future rounds!

No come on, the Scottish brand can't lose 55:45!

I feel like Oak and Oscar came out with a bang and great reviews but have kinda disappeared. I hear they are solid watches but you don't seem to hear much in terms of updates or upcoming plans.

·

Oak & Oscar wins this round, their movements and finishing are great.

·

Oak and Oscar are truly great watches. I do like the looks of Clemence and will research into them. As an O&O owner I will say they are built like a tank. If you wear your watch everyday, get it scratched and nicked, really use it like a tool, you will never be disappointed.

Poll closed for this matchup. Congratulations to Oak & Oscar!
