Ikepod Megapod x Ace Jewelers x Laser 314 — This Is Our TimevsBrew Retrograph

The Ikepod Megapod x Ace Jewelers x Laser 314 — This Is Our Time is an art-focused collaboration with a bold street-art design. Its 46mm UFO-inspired case wears smaller due to its lugless, rounded shape. The watch features a Miyota Caliber 9039 automatic movement with a 42-hour power reserve and an integrated silicon strap. Reviewers note the black seconds hand is nearly invisible against the matte black dial, making precise time-telling difficult. Overall, reviewers highlight the Ikepod Megapod x Ace Jewelers x Laser 314 — This Is Our Time for its unique art-focused design and wearable case shape, despite a readability challenge.

The Brew Retrograph is widely praised for its unique 1970s "TV Dial" aesthetic, thin profile, and comfortable wearability, with owners appreciating its well-finished rectangular case featuring alternating polishing and brushing, and its sunburst dials with contrasting matte subdials. Reviewers and owners consistently highlight the Seiko VK64 meca-quartz movement for its solid performance, instantaneous chronograph reset with good tactile feel, and quartz accuracy, all at an affordable price point. Some owners note the lack of a running second hand and that the date change is not instant, while one owner found the strap needed improvement. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Brew Retrograph highly for its distinctive design and excellent value, particularly praising its comfortable wearability and the satisfying meca-quartz chronograph function.
